What He Scesiind Hears During Ills Trav els About Toun, Sometime ago I took .occasion to condemn the useless and harmful examinations 0011 I ducted in our public schools, and it has since appeared that I voiced tho sentiment of at least two-thirds of tho parents of town. There Is no question hut that a much needed reform can be brought about in our schools in tills respect, and wero Superintendent White ker, hacked by tho School Hoard, to bring about sucli a movemont ho would gain the admiration and good will of every parent in the town.

I visited a friend ot miuo recently who complained bitterly bocanse his children have too many studies, In this particular family thcro are at present four of tho children attending school, ranging in ages from Stein. Undor tho present system it is an utter impossibility for scholars to confine their studies to tho school room, and tlio result is they spend, besides tho regular school hours, several hours each evening pouring over their hooks, when they should bo seeking recrea tion in order to rcliovo their young minds. Tho friend I referred to above, on the night in question, was busily ocsupiod in assisting his children in their studies. Ho informed mo that he is often compelled, from a seuso of duty to his olftpriugs, to take tho place of tho teacher during tho evening hours. Every parent likes to seo his children well up in their stud.ies, and from tills very cause I have no doubt but that there aro hundreds of paronts in this town placed in tho samo post tiou as that of my friend.

The stato school law never intended that tho parent should take tlio place of tho publlo school teacher, but that is exactly the result of the present system. The only remedy lies in a reduced number of studies, and tho soonor that is brought about by those given the power, the better it will be for tho teachers, scholars and parents. ... The same state of allhirs no doubt oxist in every town in the county, with very few exceptions, and a reform in this direction is sure to come, and when it does come, it will grow. Let tho largest town in tho county tako tho lead in this respect, One of tho drummers who pay fronuent visits to this town tells of a trick which was played on him and which cost him ten dollars. While in Ilarrisburg recently ho lost n diamond ring. Ho advertised tho loss and offorcd a roward of ten dollars. Tho next day a young man called at tho hotel, presented a ring which ho said he had found and took tho roward. A few days ago tho drummer discovered that the stono in tho ring was a spurious ono, tho real diamond having been replaced with a "paste" stone. V Quito a bit of speculation is now going on as to tho dato of the coming Thanksgiving Day. November this year has five Thurs days, which is tho cause of tho trouble So there is widespread doubt whether Thanks giving Day falls on the fourth or fifth Thurs day of the month. There seemi to be no law on the subject, the appointment of tho day arising from custom, though the day, when decided upon, is a legal holiday by law. Some time ago Mr. Mishler, one of tho managers of tho theatrical circuit compris ing Beading, Allentown, Wilkes-IUrre, Scrantou, and other towns, foreseeing the confusion likely to arise because November has fivo Thursdays, white to Governor Pattl son about it, as he wished to make sure, be cause of the booking of shows, The Gover nor said he didn't know, as the Governors always followed tho President. Mr. Mishler then wrote to President Cleveland. The President replied that ho was so busy with other matters that he had not yet given tho matter a thought. Now, then, if the Presi dent don't know, who does? Many people incline to the belief that Nov. 30 is the date, that being the last Thursday of the month, which they probably get from the fact that the fourth Thursday of tbe month is usually the last. Most "authorities" on the matter are not entitled to much wehjht. There is one, however, of which this cannot be said. It is Johnson's Euoyclopedia, revised two years ago, wlikh says that Thanksgiving Day is "usually the fourth Thursday of November." And even this does not settle the question. OBR. FAUST!
