GEORGE V. WBISS.
Schuylkill Comity's Able Superintendent
of Public Instruction.
From the "School Journal."
The ofllco of county superintendent is one
of more influence and honor in Pennsylvania
than in other states, and commands better
remuneration; tho officer receiving from
$1,000 to $1,080 per your, according to tho
size of tho oounty and the amount of labor
required. Schuylkill county is 0110 of fho
largo counties of the state, and Supt. Wolss
holds a position of much responsibility. Ho
was thrown in his youth, upon his own rc
sources, and tho early contact and stmgglo
with tho w;orld, thus necessitated, developed
In him tho energy and pluck which has so
largely contributed to his success In his after
life. Ho began touching n rural school at tho
ago of seventeen, and has over siuco, oxcept
during his years of student life, been ac
tively engaged in public school work. IIo
was educated at tho Freeland seminary (now
Ursiuus collego), at Collcgevillo, and at tho
State Normal School at Millorsvillc, grodu'
utlng from tho latter in 1870. Ho labored as
principal of the schools of Port Oarbon for
seven years, then as principal of the Schuyl
kill Haven schools for 'four years. In 1881
he was elected by a largo majority to his
preecnt position as county superintendent,
and has held this for four terms of three
yours each.
During these twolvo years, Supt. Woiss has
made a rcmarkablo record for cfl'ectivo aud
progressive educational work. When ho
came into ofllce, tho school work all through
his county was of tho mechanical, traditional
kind. The ABC was taught in the primary
schools ; instead of writing from tho start
nupilj "printed" their lessons; thore was an
abponco of all supplementary reading; the'
study of geography consisted of memorizing
definitions and "studying map ; " tho spelling
was all from tho spelling-book ; cluy-modol-ing
and klndorgartcn methods in primary
schools were absolutely unknown, and what
little drawlrfg there was consisted of useless
copying of a picturo from ono pago of a
drawing-book to another.
Supt. Weiss has litorally revolutionized tho
work iii tho schools of his county. To-day
tho 'schools in tho villages,, and in many of
the rural and mining districts of his county,
have in them more of tho spirit aud the
methods of modern education than tho schools
of any other county in tho state, aud moro
than many of the citios of tho state. Any
ono who wishes to see tho principles of the
"Now Education" worked out under difficult
conditions in rural schools, will find it done
in Schuylkill county.
Tho old A B O method has disappeared.
Arithmetic is taught objectively in the
primary grades. Clay-modeling and draw
ing aro taught in the majority of the schools,
and most of the schools are supplied more or
less with supplementary roadlng. Tho mold
ing board and rational methods of teaching
geography are cmployod in most of tho
schools. Thore havo been exhibits of school
work at tho annual county Institute, in
arithmetic, geography, history, clay-modeling,
drawing, etc, which would do credit to the
schools of many largo cities, and much of the
work of these exhibits was done by children
in farming and mining districts.
The oU'orta of Supt. Weiss, at the outset to
bring tho schools into lino with modern
ideas wero luturally opposed by conservative
teachers and citizens; but ho soon won the
hearty support of tho progressive people of
his county; the changes proposed havo been
tried aud approved.
As a means of aiding tho advancement of
education, Supt. Weiss divided his county
institute into sections according to grades for
part of the session, and cmployod experts to
givo instruction in methods of teaching.
Ho also organized local toichers' institutes all
over tho county, at which the instruction is
given by progressive teachers under his own
supervision. For two summers he held a
summer school in the county at which ho
had reoognlatd oxperts from abroad to give
instruction in methods of teaching. All this
ha made Supt. Weiss known throughout his
naMv state among educators as possessing
aoumi as well m progressive mens, ni oousea
him to bC regarded as one of the leading
representative! of the new oduoution, that
has taken root so strongly in Pennsylvania.

Why f Because it will sew an much in four hours

Because It is a labor-saver, and makes less noise
