Mrs. Baldwin, our Stnte Elemen tary Superintendent, Is anxious to put the Standard of Excellence be fore every Sunday school In tho state. We have thought thnt perhaps the best way to reach tho schools of Wayne county would be through the columns of THE CITIZEN which has so kindly offered to aid us in our Sunday school work. This does not mean that all schools not meeting the Standard should seek at once to Introduce many new departments, but It does mean that each school should at tempt to do one thing at a time, and thus gradually grow to the ideal. The following is taken from the Elementary Standard leaflet, copies of which may be obtained by writ ing the State ofllce: THE STANDARD. 1. A Cradle Roll Tho purpose of this department is to give to each little child the watchful care and prayers of the church and to bind to gether the home and the Sunday School in an effort to keep tho child for Christ. Many families have been brought to Christ because of the interest shown in the baby. li. A Beginners' Department. It has been proven that unless the chil dren under six are in a class by themselves, it is impossible to help them as they should be helped in the Sunday school. These little chil dren differ greatly in their mental and physical development from the children of six, seven aim eight years of age, and to do them jus tice it is necessary to organize a be ginners' class or beginners' depart ment. it. A Primary Department The three years covered by the Primary Department are years when both tho brain and body are growing more rapidly than at any other time In tho life. The children are going to school. They have many new ex periences. Their training should -differ materially from that given 'the child under six or that given the ehijd over eight.' So any primary, .teacher who desires to- help, post .the children of this age will "separate them from the children under six or over eight. The teacher will also ee that tho teaching and training re adapted to their stage of de Telopment. 4. A Junior Department Tho children from nine to twelve have been reatly neglected in the majority of our Sunday schools. They have either been held in tho Primary De partment and treated as babies or been sent to the main room and treated as adults. Tt should be re membered that this Is the great habit-forming age, and that of daily Bible reading, dally prayer, church attendance, systematic giving, prompt obedience, should be formed. It Is the time when the memory is Tory retentive and when the child should be taught much Scripture and ome hymns. It Is the time when the child may be expected to ac knowledge Jesus Christ as his Sav ior. This work cannot be properly ttono unless the children are sep arated and have teachers who un derstand their needs and know how to meet them. 5. A Separate Plnco of Meeting It is always best to have a separate room for each of the Elementary Grades, but with many schools this is at present impossible. Let those who havo the separate rooms use them. Let those who cannot have a separ ate room for each grade have as much separation as possible. If there is a separate room for the Primary Department, it can be made to serve also for the Beginners by dividing it with a curtain or screen. Then the Primary and Beginners Department could have an opening and closing service together, being separated for the lesson study only. Where there is no separate Primary room, at least separate the depart tnents by screen or curtain from the rest of tho school. Keep constantly on tho lookout for something "bet ter yet and press on toward the se curing of complete separation. The Junior classes could bo grouped to gether In the main room and cur tnined or screened from tho rest of the classes during the lesson hour. As soon as possible provide a sep arate room for the Juniors. 0. A Blackboard is necessary be cause a child learns more thoroughly what he sees than what he hears. Tho use of tho blackboard,, thore foro, deepens the impressions of the truth made by telling the story of tho lesson. Fino drawings are not necessary. Simple outlines leave room for the child's imagination to fill In tho picture. Where It seems impossible to use a blackboard, many teachers secure large sheets of ma nlla paper and crayons, and some use largo slates and chalk. SECOND TYPHOID CASE IN SAME HOUSE. Homo of Willis A'an Steenberg Again A'islted By Dread Disease. Stella Van Steenberg, four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willis Van Steenberg, Terrace street, Tex as Number 4, la down with Typhoid Fever. This is the second case in this Borely-strlcken household. Pretty soon we'll be laughing so much at the antics of a Democratic Congress that wo'll forget all about the pain caused by the election.

Trying To Check Flood Of Bills At Capitol School Code lias Right Of AA'ay. In an effort to check the antici pated flood of new bills in the leg islature the attention of members, and particularly now, ones, has been called to the fact that a bill Intro duced at such a time receives less publicity than if presented during the week, when the rush is less pro nounced. As the night sessions do not begin until 9 o'clock there Is little time for the newspaper cor respondents to scan the bills for the next morning's papers, and conse quently some important bills do not get the prominence to which they are entitled. Passage of the bills is not facilitated by getting them in at the night session. It is said that the legislative lead ers are in favor of giving the school code the right of way, so as to have the matter disposed of early in the session, instead of postponing the inevitable debate until the end of the session. In the absence of a fix ed date for adjournment some of the members are predicting that tho session may continue as late as June 1. The last long session of this sort was In 1901, when the leg islators remained In Harrisburg until June 27. LEGAL OPINION AA'ANTED. Dr. Knlhftis Seeks Advice on Rill to Llceuso Hunters. Rprrfltnrv .TnRPnh Tv"nllfiiH nf tho State Game Commission, has placed in the hands of an attorney the mat ter of ascertaining If a bill providing that the fees from licensing hunters can be used for the protection and preservation of gamo would be con stitutional. Tho bill provides that the fees col lected be used for this purpose. On the othor hand the Legislature two years ago presented a bill providing that all money collected In the de partments be turned into the general revenues of the State. Automobile fees wore at first used for good roads, but are now turned back to the State Treasury. Dr. Kalbfus, in addressing the Hunters' and Anglers' Association, of Harrisburg, several nights ago, spoke of tho proposed license, which will be one dollar for every hunter. Ho referred to tho alleged opposition to the plan and said that If anybody had a better plan, the commission would be glad to hear It. In speaking of the petition, now being circulated against licensing hunters. Dr. Kalbfus said "It is an easy thing to get signers to petitions. I do not believe that ten per cent, of the signers of the petition are men wno go hunting, AVhat would happen if the railroad ers, for instance, went before the Legislature with a bill and then a petition, signed by lawyers, minis ters, draymen and bricklayers was presented, protesting against the measure?"

Although Archbishop Ryan obtained four hours of refreshing sleep last night, Dectors Laplace and Anders advanc ed no hope today for his ultimate recovery. He has become gradually weaker and it is believed to be only a question of time when his remark able vitality will be entirely spent. The doctors said: "Tho archbishop may expire at any moment, or he may live for several days." The visit to the archbishop yes terday of Cardinal Gibbons had a stimulating effect on the sufferer. Cardinal Gibbons said that during his conversation with the dying pre late the Archbishop manifested his keen interest in public affairs. Re ferring to this country, the Arch bishop said: "If we keep up our conservation no country will become so great as this, for no other coun try has the same elements of great ness." j "THE AVEATIIER'S, THE THING!"

POMONA GRANGE Wayne County Granges Meet At South Canaan Labor Grange Wins Banner For Ivlost Mem bersNew Grange in Pike County Scranton Boomed For Next State Grange Meeting. Wayne County Pomona Grange Meetings at South Canaan. Wayne County Pomona Grange No. 11 met with Hope Grange, No. S98. Grange opened in full form In the 4th degree at 10:30 a. m. Minutes of tho last meeting were read. Re ports of Subordinate Granges were called for and read. The reports show that Labor Grange at Calkins, Pa., were In the lead for receiving the i Inrcnst number of male members for the quarter, therefore Pomona honor banner was awarded to Labor Grange. F. L. Hartford was appoint ed to present the same, which was done in a very fitting manner, and Brother AVilcox, Calkins, accepted tho Banner with a few appropriate remarks. Olcomurgurlno Petition Signed. A very valuable communication from Hon. James Foust, Dairy and Food Commissioner and N. B. Critch lield, Secretary of Agriculture, per taining to the Oleomargarine law was read, and on motion the peti tion was signed by the Master and Secretary and a copy forwarded to our Senator at Harrisburg, also a copy to our United States Senator at AVashlngton, D.

"The flshhawk tells us when the shad begin to run up the river," said a Gloucester fisherman. "AVe have learned that It Isn't much ubo to cast nets, no matter how mild the weather may be, until Mr. Flshhawk swoops down on us. "AVhen he comes sailing up the bay we know it's time to get to work. Lots of farmers down Jersey would never think to start planting until the fluhhawks come. I don't believe they have ever been later than April 12, though. Thy work their way up the coast from Florida and the other Southern waters early in March, when the fish begin to come north. They follow the big schools of her ring, as a rule, because the herring swim close together, and the hawk has easy picking. The shad follow the herring, and when the flshhawk comes we know the shad are not far away." White Way In a Town of 1,500. The most remarkable example of street Illumination that has yet come to our notice, says the Illuminating Engineer, Is that of AVinterset, la., a town which boasts of a population of 1,500 and has a real "AVhite AVay" illuminated by thirty-nine handsome cluster lampposts. This Is at the rate of one lamppost for every 400 citizens. At this rate New York city should contain 120,000 decorative lamp standards. Taking Winterset as a standard of public lighting, the ox tent of oportunlty for tho sale of lamps and electric current for this purpose In the other cities and towns in the United States Is something whoso contemplation will make the central station dizzy. Said Something. On board an ocean liner were a lady and gentleman, accompanied by their young hopeful, aged 6, and as Is usually the case the parents were very sick, while little AVillle was the wellest thing on board. One day the parents were lying In their steamer chairs hoping that they would die, and little AVillle was playing about tho deck, AVilllo did something of which his mother did not approve, so she said to her husband, "John, please speak to AVillle." The bus band, with the little strength left In his wasted form, looked at his son and heir and feebly muttered: "How'dy do, AVillle." The Lyceum ite.

New devices and economies for housekeeping will be tested In an ex periment statiou of the New Jersey Federation of Women's Clubs, accord ing to a report published In tho Bos ton Common. The results secured by appliances or methods which prove to make housekeeping easier or cheap er will be communicated to all the women's clubs of New Jersey, and as that State seems quite unlikely to be hampered by any of the prejudices against labor saving machines which keep the New England housewife mixing her bread and cleaning her floors by hand there is a probability that tho club members will become the most up to date and scientific housewives In the country. Tho Idea of a housekeeping experi ment station was first worked out by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Barnard, who, having moved to a suburban homo after Mr. Barnard's retirement as a playwright and editor, found their neighbors groaning under a task which they had solved. The cause, along with the absence of gas and electricity, proved to be the lack of knowledge of the various means of making work almost if not quite play. For three years the Barnards havo given out "the results of their tests, and the eagerness of women In all parts of the country to learn these facts Is evidenced by the letters. which average fifty a day, asking for Information or advice. The Ameer's Vengeance. AVben Sir Charles Euan-Smith, who died not long ago In England, was In the market place of an Af ghanistan town he was fired at by a native. He lodged complaint with the Ameer, who appeared to take no notice of the incident, merely remark ing, "That's all right." Sir Charles complained again and met with the same reply. He still thought that the Ameer was treating a serious matter with less consideration than it de served, but thought it advisable to say no more on the subject. About a week afterward he was Invited by the Ameer to rldo with him. They rode for some distance outside the town and passed gibbet after gibbet. At length Sir Charles said: "Your Highness has been busy of late." "Oh, no," replied the Ameer, "they are your little lot." He had taken all the members of the would-be assas sin's family and hanged overy one of them. Chicago Dally News.
