A Philadelphia Taper Speaks of Them In
(Howlng Terms.
Tho following nrtlclo takon from tho Phil
adelphia Educational News Is calculated to
mako tho Slionaudoahlto who takes prldo In
the schoil system of tho town rejoice:
That it pays to employ compotent teachers
and wldo awako superintendents is generally
acknowlodgod to bo correct in thoory, but th
practico seldom harmonizes with it. Shenan
doah, in Schuylkill county, forms, howovor,
striking exception. Iloro competent
teachers, nearly all normal graduates, aro
employed; and tho superintendent, also
graduato of a normal school, is a man who
keeps himself abreast of tho latest and best
n education. With such favorablo condl
tlous work of unusual excellence can bo ox
pec ted, and this expectation is realized to a
greator degrco in these schools than prob'
ably in any others in tho state, except in some
of tlioso in Pittsburg.
At Shenandoah tho best educational
thought is not only entertained as correct
theory, but put into practico. Hero tho new
education has acquired a thorough foothold,
and tho excellent condition of tho schools, as
ovidenced In tho superior work of tho cliil
dren, freely and gladly done, proves con
cluslvcly tho correctness of tho theory.
Tho children In all tlio grades, from tho
primaries up, read with easoand intelligence,
A notable circumstance of most of tbo read
ing is that it is not dono simply for tho sako
of reading, but for information. Sunt,
Freeman holds, and rightly, that children
should as early as possiblo read to increase
their stock of knowledge, aud in accordance
with this Idea much of tho reading is from
geographical, historical, natural history, and
elementary scienco books.
After tlio pupils havo read a paragraph or a
page, they aro oxpectod to bo able to givo the
substance of it in thoir own words, aud tho
easo and correctness with which thoy do it
aro romarkablo. Mr. Freeman belioves that
pupils should be trained to read thoughtfully,
so that thoy may romember what thoy read,
and tlio results his teachers attalu show that
It can bo dono.
Tho material for language work is taken
from everything that is rend or dono lit tho
schools from descriptions of objects, from
problems and their solutions, geography,
history, scionce, etc. Concentration of clTort
is tho idea at tho foundation of tho work,
aud tho advautago of it to tho pupils is too
evident to need proof.
In almost all other schools children detest
language work, consider it a bore; not so at
Shenandoah; hero thoy enjoy it and aro eager
for it.
instead or coming to class with grammars
aud arithmetics, as tho thildicu do in the
schools that follow tho "regular fashion,1
theso como with their work prepared that
thoy can show that thoy understand what
thoy do.
In arithemetie they can not only explain
their work, but can givo an ocular demon
stratiou or illustration of its correctness,
Perhaps what must seem most remarkable to
all who aro unacquainted with tho most ad
vaucod teaching, Is, that tho prlmariaus, first
yoar pupils, solve problems within their
range of knowlcdgo, not only with wholo
numbers, but with fractions; do it well, too,
aud seem to enjoy It. In fact, the pupils of
all the grades appear to enjoy their work.
Singing by notes aud words is taught to all
tho grades, tho tonic-sol-fa system being
used, and if music is taught anywhere else
with equal success, tho readers of tho AVwj
should bo Informed of it.
Whero tho most earnest work Is mado
pleasure, as is uouo in tiioso schools, govern
meut takes care of itself, and tho teachers,
no matter how hard thoy work, onjoy them
selves.
Too much credit cannot bo given Supt. L.
A. Freeman for the excellent condition to
which theio schools havo been brought.
Teachers and directors who desire to seo
good schools, should visit Shenandoah,
RACTICAL training

anything that tends to

winners of this contest will havo an excel

this training. It is givon in tho woman's
building aud is under tho auspices of tho
British Rod Cross Society.
Ono part of tho oxhibit will bo particularly
interesting to tho teachers becauso it portaius
to ono of tho most important studies In our
schools hygicno. It Is nn exhibit of hygienic
clothing designed by Miss Franks, of Loir
don, tho different articles being such as aro
worn by British professional nurses, and by
tbcni recommended to their patients. Of
course, all articles displayed in this section aro
for underwear, and consist of llsnncl under
garments, ventilated corsets for summer
wear, and knit ones for winter, stoc.klngs.aud
tho hygienic shoo invented by Mrs. Fenwick
Tills shoo is adapted for tho sick room, and is
modeled on tlio human foot. It is well ven
tllatcd, has steel springs over tbo instep and
a rubber heel, rendoring it perfectly nolsolcss.
Tho Eureka stocking clippor attracts tho at
tention of most women, promising as it does
relief from tlio unccmfortablo garter. Tho
clipper is so adjusted as to bear on no vein,
aud thus perfect comfort and perfect freedom
aro secured. Infants' hygienic clothing is
also displayed, and hero tho articles are com
pleto throughout, from tho tiny inner band to
tho outsido robe.
Another section of tho oxhibit is dovotcd
to splints, padded iu various materials, and
to different baskets aud bags used by nurses.
Tho first to attract attention Is Mrs. Fen
wick's ward basket, which is stockod with
everything in dally uso by nurses, and the
wonder is how so much can bo packed in so
small a spaco. Nothing is lacking. There is
tho box-wood powder box, tho bottlo for
recti fled spirits incased in boxwood, brush,
co nil, nail brush, tooth brush, whisk broom
and duster. Tho bag used by tho Queen
Victoria jubilco nurses in their work among
tho poor is also on exhibition and is Uko tho
ward basket, very complete in appointments,
containing nearly 100 articles. This is of oil
silk, but instead of toilet articles It contains
necessary articles for tho sick.

REV. POWIOK'S SERMON.
The Discourse In the Mothorilst Episcopal
Church Yesterday.
Tho sermon on Sunday morning iu tho M.
E. church was on tho subject of "Discontent."
Tho text was taken from tho history of
Hainan: Esther V 18, "Yet all this avalleth
ino nothiug so long as I seo Mordecal tho
Jow sitting at tho king's gate." Hainan had
rison suddenly into prominence and power.
Tho king hod promoted him abovo all tho
princes which wcro with him, and had com
manded all his servants to do him reverence
Wo know Iio was wealthy becauso ho oll'ercd
tho king millions for tho slaughter of tho
Jews. Ho alone had been invited with the
king to tlio queen's banquet. Ho was so
burdened with honors that ho called ills
friends to listen whllo ho rehearsed the story
of his riches and his promotion and power.
But what did theso amount to whllo Mordecal
refused to bow beforo his majesty? "Yet all
this availcth mo nothiug so long as I seo
Mordecal tho lew sitting iu tlio king's gate"
Wo sometimes laugh at tho trillos it takes to

not all dead yet.
Among tho causes of discontent wo may
safely placo vanity. Not ovcry discontented
ono mikes such an exhibition of inordinate
vanity as did Hainan, but thoro is a species
of vanity lurking In overy feeling of discon
tent thinking more highly of ourselves than
wo ought to think feeling as though wo ore
not dealt with according to our merits act
ing as though tho universe ought to centre in
ourselves and as though God himself was
greatly at fault for not making his providen
tial allotments after consultation with our
feelings. Straugely enough such a spirit is
usually aggravated by prosperity, and seldom
by adversity. Discontent is preeminently a
sin of tho woll to-do. There is doubtless

man stoop over the rail and placo some
thing on it. Tho man was about 300
yards from tho watchman and retired
to tho bush. Carr walked down to the place
and found that a spike, such as is used to
fasten tho rails to tho tics, had been placed
in tho tonguo of a frog which is used to
switch trains from tho main lino to the
Kchley Run colliery track. Carr asked a
passer-by to notify tho police and C. &. I.
Policeman Krelgor responded. Meantime
tho man who placed tho obstruction on the
track and two companions proceeded to make
their escape.
Krolgcrand James Dooling followed the'
mon to town, after which Constable Toomey
shadowed them whllo Krelgor was swearing
out a warrant before 'Squire Monaghan.
When arrested tlio mon gavo their names
as William Raklcss, August Weschula and

tho spiko in tho frog. As ho was unable to
socuro bail ho was taken to tho Pottsvillo
jail yestord'ay. The othors furnished ball in
the sum of $300 each.
Carr's discovery was a timely one, as the
miners' train, duo horo at 0 p. m. from Maha
