NIGHT SCHOOL TEACHERS ELECTED
Tilts Between Secretary Hanna and Super
intendent Bogart The Latter Makes
Interesting Remarks Concern
ing tho Schools.
A regular meeting of tho School Hoard whs
held last evening at which considerable5 im
portant tmsinesi was transacted. Among tho
officials in attendanco wcro Truant Otllcer
David Brown and Superintendent llogart.
1'rnf, Mooro, ox-principal of tho Frackvlllo
High school, was also rrescnt and succeeded
in Belling to tho Board a gloho with elaborate
astronomical attachments.
An application of Ella E. Creary for ap
pointment as substitute teacher and the
leslgnatlon of Benjamin C. Church at it mem
ber of tho School Board wero read and ac
cepted. Martin L. Shoemaker, of tho Second
ward, sent in an application for election as
School Director to succeed Mr. Church.
Superintendent Bogart presented tho
following questions to tho Board : First,
What aro tho rates of tuition fornon-rcsldcnt
pupils in tho soveral schools? Second, Aro
all pupils to bo examined? In somo places
pupils who acquire a certain percentage in
daily studies aro exempted from examination.
Third, What aro tho passing marks, as
established by tho Board ? Fourth, What is
tho minimum percentage in any one, or more,
studies? Fifth, Who aro tho substitute
teachers?
Superintendent Bogart said ho had failed
to find any rules governing tho points upon
which ho sought information, or any record
bearing upon them and it was necessary for
tho general welfaro of tho schools that tho
Board should forraulato somo rulo.
Secretary Hanna arose and in a rambling
statement commenced an attack upon the
Superintendent, chnrging tiiat the latter was
trying to upset customs of tho Board that had
been established for twenty years, and
oveutually Mr. Hanna drifted into a discus'
si on with tho President over tho uso of tho
gavel and protested against what ho claimed
wcro arbitrary methods. President l'rico
replied that tho uso of tho gavel rested witli
himself mid that ho did not proposo to have
tho valuable timo of tho Board wasted by a
long statement that was rambling and did
not bear upon tho question under discussion
Tho questions asked wcro finally left in the
hands of Superintendent Bogart.
Tho Superintendent recommended that two
new second grade, ono third and one fourth
grade primary schools bo established and
recommended that not moro than 15 pupils
bo put in each ol tho second grado primary
schools. Ho also stated that ho did
not care if tho pupils did not advance
as rapidly during the first sis months, pro
viding they wero taught to avoid a cramped
and stooped position wliilo in their scats. In
ono largo class ho had observed that not one
pupil had its eyes moro than six inches from
tho copy book, whilo tho distance should bo
at least fourteen inches. If a teacher suc
ceeded in drilling tho pupils into a correct
and healthy position during tho first six
months ho would consider that she hail per
formed her duty well. The enrollment to
date is 2,700.
Tho recommendations wero referred to tho
Superintendent in coniuuetion with tho
committed on teachers and salaries.
Mr. Hanna wanted to know whether the
Superintendent proposed to work in harmony
with him. Ho complained that 1'rof. Bogart
had refused to assume tho responsibility for
making up the monthly enrollments and said
it had been douo by tho Superintendent of
tho local schools for tho past twonty years.
Superintendent Bogart said lie had no feel
lug in tho matter at all ; that ho simply
wanted to perform his duty to tho Board and
the schools and lie wanted others to attend to
their duties. He said tho Superintendent of
schools had nothing to do with tho registra
t ion books further than to look over them as
ho passes from room to room and sco that
tlioy aro pioperly kept ; that tho law requires
the secretary to seo that they aro correct and
certify to their correctness boforo warrants
aro drawn.
Discussion on this subject was ended by a
motion thatacomuiitteoof tlireoboappointcd
to look after tho details of tho compulsory
education law, in conjunction with tho
superintendent and secretary. Thopresideut
appointed tho following committeo : Messrs.
Treziae, Edwards and Williams.
Mr. Hanna was still in a complaining mood
and stated that ho understood that Super
intendent Bogart had, or was about to
abolish local institutes. Ho said ho would
protest against this, especially if it should bo
dono without consulting the Board.
Superintendent llogart replied in tills strain;
"I am tho hardest man to cull institutes that
you can And. Wo cannot get along without
hem, But, I beliovo, I know best when to
call them. I generally havo them every two
weeks, except towards tho last of tho year.
I then dlspcnso with them becausoit is neces
sary. Wo will havo a meeting next Monday
night. Tho Idea that I havo set them aside
is presumption."
Later in tho evening Director I.eo mado a
motion that tho Bparo room in tho White
street building bo arranged as an office for tho
Superintendent and tho present quarters be
left to teacher of music, but this motion was
defeated and it was decided to givo tho now
room to tho music teacher.
Daniel Ogden and M. L. Shoemaker wcro
nominated to fill tho vacancy on tho Board
caused by tho resignation of Mr. Church, and
Mr, Ogden was elected by a vote of 11 to 3.
Tho evening school committeo mado tho
following recommendations : That tho Board
establish ten evening schools, nino for boys
and ono for girls, and that tho number bo
increased during tho term if necessary j that
that tho term bo five months, com
mencing October 20th, and bo extended
to six mouths, if necessary; that tho
salaries remain tho same as last year $35 per
month' for tho evening high school, f35 for
tho Turkey Run school and $23 for tho
others; that two schools bo established in tho
West street building, two in tho Lloyd street,
two in tho Union street and ono each in tho
Coal street and Turkey Hun buildings.
Tho recommendations wero adopted aud
tho Board proceeded to elect the ten teachers'
There were 27 applicants. Director Edwards
said Ids son's naiuo was on tho list, but ho
was not an applicant for evening schools,
although ho would bean applicant for sub
stitute teaching.

PARDON BOARD WILL SO URGE !
Sentenced In 1891 to Fifteen Years' Im
prisonment for Stealing Half a Million.
Robert Beatty, Accomplice of Dcmp
sey, Recommended for Pardon.
llAltUISnumi, Sept. 3. Tho board of
pardons has practically decided to recom
mend t hut n pardon lie granted to John
Burdslcy, but linnl action will not bo
taken until tomorrow, when another con-
fcroneo will bo held. At tho close of tho
sosslon yesterday afternoon members of
tho board slid that thero was no doubt of
tho pardon being granted, but they want
to hoar from Governor Hastings beforo
finally announcing action.
On July 2, lb'Jl, Hardsley was sentenced
to fifteen years In tho Eastern penitentiary
for misappropriating over toui.uoo of city
and state moneys while acting as city
treasurer of Philadelphia. Hardslcy's
downfall was directly brought about by
tho failure of tho Keystone bank, in which
tho moneys in his charge were deposited,
and tho flight of its president, Gideon W.
Marsh, but It was prltuurlly eausod by
Uardsloy's unfortunato stock speculations.
A financial panic was caused by tho rev
elations following Ilardsley's resignation
from his offlcoon MayBl, lb'Jl. Tho Spring
Garden bank, which had over 140,000 of
tho city's monoy, wont down, and tho
Kennedy brothers, Its president and
cashier, wero sont to prison for ten years.
Cashier Lawrence, of tho Keystono, was
given seven years, and was pardoned by
President Cleveland about a month ago.
The big Bradford Mills company, of which
Hardsley was an oillcer, was forced to tho
wall, and a number of smaller concerns
sank In tho storm. President Marsh, of
tho wrecked Keystono liank, is still a fugi
tive from justice.
Tho agitation for Hardsloy's pardon has
been going on for a considerable timo ut
tho instigation of prominent citizens, who
believed that tho unfortunato prisoner
was moro sinned against than sinning.
Tlicro was no lack of medical testimony
brought beforo tho pardon board to provo
that Hardsley is practically in a stato of
collapse, and If continued In conllnoiucnt
could live but n brief timo.
Tho board iiiado tho following recom
mendations for pardon : Kobert Heatty,
of Pittsburg, tho alleged accomplice of
Hugh F. Dompsey in a plot to poison non
union workmen in Carnegie's mills at
Humcstead; Stephen Legezu, of Jefferson
county, convicted of murder in tho second
degree; Geneand Kalcom, of Easton, ag
gravated assault and battery. A pardon
was refused in the ease of Daniel Luhey,
of Allegheny, convicted of murder in tho
second degree. Tho order of the court
disfranchising for seven years Hugh lloyle.
Hubert Hnin, Albert .Coffey ami James
Kelly, of Philadelphia, for making false
election returns, was revoked. Also a
similar order in tho case of Alex Mageo
and John Doyle, of Philadelphia, charged
with conspiracy in election frauds.
