WAYMART.
The teachers of Clinton, Canaan,
Waymart, South Canaan and Promp
ton held their local Institute in the
High school at Waymart, Saturday,
January 22d. Owing to tho inclem
ent weather, a number of the teach
ers were unable to bo present.
The forenoon session opened at
10 a. m. Superintendent Koehler
conducted the opening exercises.
Prof. Dooley acted as chairman.
The first number on the program
was a paper on "Language," by Cora
Miller, which was followed by a dis
cussion of the subject by Superin
tendent Koehler, Prof. Dooley and
Mr. Taylor of Forest City High
school.
"Control of Waste and Energy In
the School" was a well-written pa
per by Florence Capwell. In teach
ing primary reading, do not put all
your time upon one pupil while
the rest aro allowed to gaze
around the class room or elsewhere.
Teach all new words In concert, thus
saving time. This paper was fol
lowed by a discussion by Supt. Koeh
ler and Prof. Dooley.
The next subject, "Morals and
Manners," by Mr. Smith, was a
well-prepared paper. It was follow
ed by "How to Study" by Martha
Farley. This paper was left to be
discussed in the afternoon. The
forenoon session closed at twelve
o'clock.
The afternoon session, which be
gan at 1:30 p. in., was opened with
a song, after which Miss Havey read
a well-prepared paper on "How to
Teach Primary Geography." Do not
begin giving books too early. If
possible, take tho children out af
ter a rain ond show them miniature
islands, rivers, gulfs, bays, lakes,
etc.
This papor was discussed by Prof.
Dooley, Mr. Taylor and Mr. Wat
klns. Tho best teacher of Geogra
phy is tho best reader of Geography,
and who keeps in touch with what Is
transpiring around him. Develop the
fact of how our country Is develop
ing. Tell why certain cities are de
veloping. What do pcoplo do In
certain sections of the country and
why? Tho next number was, "Arls
totle ob a Teacher," by Jennie Smith.
His Bchool was1 - known as the Ly
ceum. Ho was the teacher of Alex
ander Uio Great,; son of Philip II. of
Macedon, and was a leader. For
years all teachers acknowledged him
as their guide. This paper was dis
cussed by Supt. Koehler, who com
pared the education of thoso times
with that of the present times. Then
only certain bright pupils had the
very best teachers. Now tho un
fortunates who aro not so bright, are
receiving more time and money
than tho others.
"How to Inspire New Life With
In, and Send Right Motives Throb
bing Through tho Soul of a Bad
Boy," was then read by Ruth Nich
ols. Troublesome boys nro divided
Into two classes. Those with whom
bad conduct Is n crlnio und those
with whom ft Is a fault. Db not
lead a boy to think Hint lulling n
lie, or being tardy is a crlmo as seri
ous ns stealing, etc. Chnractor la
not a spontaneous growth. It cither
ndvnnccs upward or goes downwnrd.
The best linblts for a boy aro tho
think habits. Teach him those hab
its. Mischief Is only misdirected
energy. A discussion followed by
Prof. Dooley, Mr. Taylor and Supt.
Kochler. Tlio next number was u
reading by Angclus Buckley, which
caused a great dent of merriment.
Hylln Ames then gave a rccttntlon
In her usual brilliant manner.
Prof. Watklns thnn gave a talk on
"Pestalozzl." Pestalozzt's great
thought wns, " Where can 1 do tho
most for mankind? He loved his
work, nnd more than that ho lived
his work. No one can be successful
unless they put their life into the
work. Pestalozzl realized his aim
by hnrd, unflinching labor. A dis
cussion of tho subject wns then giv
en by Philip Hoff. Pestalozzl lacked
system In his work, but what ho
lacked In system, he made up in en
thusiasm. The Institute came to a close at 4
p. in.

THE QUALITY POULTRY SHOW
OF SCRANTON.
The fifth nnnunl show of the
Scranton Poultry nnd Pet Stock as
sociation is now n mnttor of history.
Much credit Is due to President W.
H. Hngen, vJco president, T. F. Mc
Graw, and O. W. Pnyne, secretary,
Close and treasurer Toky, the offi
cers of the nssoclattpn. These men
with the following constitute the
Board of directors: F. O. Megargee,
R. E. Weeks, H F. Atherton. Thos.
Brown, W. L. Weddlgen, nnd E. C,
Ricker. W. L. Weddlgen wns sup
erintendent of the show. These men
nro responsible for tho poultry show
just closed, one of the best nnd most
successful ever held in Scrnnton.
The show was hold In tho Lleder
kranz Hall on Lackawanna Avenue,
and It makes a very desirable place
to hold a poultry show. The man
agement should be complimented on
the manner In which the cooping,
feeding, etc., was dbno.
The only complaint heard was
lack of room, as It was necessary to
place most coops In two tiers to ac
commodate the large entry. The as
sociation held one of Its former
shows In the Armory, hut the loca
tion is such mat only the true fol
lowers of the craft will take pains
to go there.
The following were named as
Judges: W. J. Stanton, New York;
W. Theo. WIttman, Allentown; T.
F. McGrew, Scranton; J. D. Nevlns,
Philadelphia; F. G. Bean, College
vllle, Pa.; James Glasgow, .Ma
hwah, N. J., and W. A. Wolford,
Hawley, Pa.
Owing to the fact that Messrs.
WIttman, Nevlns and Glasgow were
unable to be there, Mr. W. F. Fot
terall, of Oakford, Pa., was named
as judge. The judging was com
pleted Wednesday afternoon and tho
ribbons all up, which was one of the
factors In tho success of the show.
The judging seemed to meet with
high approval, very little dissatis
faction being heard.
A marked catalogue was issued,
which always is a benefit to the ex
hibitor and a convenience to the
visitor.
It was estimated that the total
entry was about 1120, most of these
being single entries. The entries
in the twenty-three classes of ban
tams numbered about 243, and they
made a grand display.
The Black Langshams made a
very strong display as there were CO
single entries and one pen. The
Plymouth rocks wore there, too,

G Buffs, 8 Silver Penciled. om Par

S. C. Black Minorcas, 2 White, 11
R. C. Black. 2 R. C. White, 15
Hondans, and one pen. 8 Bronze
turkeys, 2 White, G Pekln Ducks,
and four Toulouse Geese.
These with a large entry of the
various classes of games, together
with smaller enterics of other varie
ties made a great show.
The center of attraction naturally
lead to the coop of "Lady Washing
ton," the ?12,000 Black Orpington
hen owned by Messrs. Megargee and
Weddlgen, of Scranton, Pa. This
bird in the Madison Square Garden
show Inst December captured the
grand prize for the best Orpington
hen shown, there being over 200
Orpingtons exhibited.
Beside her was the telegram sent
to her owners by Mr. H. D. Riley,
the millionaire poultry man and
President of the Philadelphia Poul
try association offering $6,000 for
her purchase.
Messrs. Megargee and Weddlgen

woll to tho front, when the awards
were placed. Mr. Joseph Stephens,
of White Mills, also was a winner

ses. That tlio competition was keen
and the value of a prize winner at
the Scranton show amounts to a
great deal, is shown by birds ex
hibited there which havo won firsts
at Madison Square Garden, decorat
ed with third prize.
Mr. J. C. Purple, the genial as
sociate editor of the Poultry Item,

tho list of subscribers to that well
known paper has Increased during
the week.
The Ralph Weeks Co., also Geo.
Hacklander had on display a largo
line of poultry supplies, especially
the latter who had an incubator In
full operation.
Tliorwnldsen.
Thorwnldsen was a Dane, born In
Copenhagen, Denmark. It Is hard
to answer your question about his
greatest work. He worked along
various lines that of the classic
mythology, that of religion and tat
of history, and the question you raise
would be answered differently by dif
ferent people. One might say that
his "chief work" was the "Mars,"
another "The Twelve Apostles," and
still another the "Lion of Lucerne "
Pretty nearly everything that Thor
waldsen did Was great.
