TAGE 2 ran CITIZEN, FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1011. Tho Citizen will publish once a week, In the Thursday edition, one of the essays or declamations, which formed part ol tho Com mencement exercises of tho Honesdale High school for tho benefit of those who were unable to be present at the exercises. Tho following essay was delivered by Miss Mario Bracey: "Pennsylvania In Education." Educational attainment in ' tho United States may be generally char acterized by the position achieved by Pennsylvania. An argument of this subject would seem to imply a com parison of educational standards be tween that of our native state and her sister states. Comparisons at best are Invidious, and In this case would be impracticable. The glory and pride of the United States, tho keystone of Its great scheme of liber ty and Independence, Is education and free schools. Each of tho forty eight states of our Union is vlelng with the others In the aim at excel lence of Oducatlonal attainments, un til schools, colleges and universities flourish throughout the land, while ignorance and Illiteracy are fast be coming unknown. To give Pennsylvania the high position of credit to which it is entitled in educational work, It is necessary to review early conditions. In colonial times the attention and resources of the settlers were con centrated chiefly upon the problems of protection and subsistence, leav ing little opportunity for mental cul tivation. They Inherited from their ancestors a purpose, not only to ac quire rudimentary education, but also to provide such preparatory training for their children as would enable them to assume honorable position In church or state. To them fell the task of devising a sys tem of free education that would give opportunities to all. At this time there were established numer ous church schools none of which furnished adequate instruction since each, trammeled by sectarian pre judices, taught Its own doctrine. The far-seeing William Penn, real izing the narrowness of these schools, embodied ample provisions for the Instruction of youth In his first form of government, and es tablished the Penn Charter school which isnow in the front rank of educational institutions. From the founding of this school, the pbllcy; or which was to provide free educa tion for the children of the poor, to tho public school system of to-day, we find a clear, definite plan for Im partial public Instruction. The scope of this paper does not permit a detailed account of the var ious schemes of educational meth ods' advanced, nor of the schools established to carry out this purpose. At first no project ' comprehended free education, and after a seeming ly feasible plan had been establish ed the wealthy classes refused to tako advantage of the opportunities 60 afforded, being unwilling to at tend the so-called pauper schools. The Latin grammar school for a time was the form of education most in vogue. The plan of these schools, however? never became universally popular, as the curriculum did not fulfill the needs of the time. There upon Benjamin Franklin devised a more liberal form of education which met with general . approval, thus becoming the founder of the Public Academy of Philadelphia. The outgrowth of this institution the University of Pennsylvania Is to-day one of the most potential forces in the advancement of high er education. By reason of the non conformist act of 1662, fully two thousand English clergymen were driven from tho ' church. Many of them, having been denied admission to the public schools and universi ties of their own land, sought a homo in the new world, and as they loved learning as well as religion, thus provided themselves with a new occupation that of teaching, One of these men established Ten nont's Log College, from which directly sprang Princeton University and indirectly other scarcely less im portant seats of learning. Pennsylvanians may also point with pride to these facts; that it was the pioneer state in the educa tion of teachers the first school In America especially adapted for their education being the Model School at Philadelphia, which has been in strumental In raising tho teachers' profession to a high degree of .effi ciency and that she appropriates a larger sum of (money to the cause of education than any other state. But although Pennsylvania may well be proud of her many higher institu ting of learning, her chief pride lies in the comprehensive public school system, a system which has grown upon, Its own soil and Is a product of native forces and In fluences, It would be a difficult task to men tion, Individually, the men of our state who have devoted their lives to the cause of education. Like the hundreds and thousands of pa triots who have given their lives as soldiers for the welfare of their country, and ha.ve fallen silently up on the battlefield, the memory of many of our scholars and educators has gone out with their lives. The glory of their work can be found In tho public school systoml which they have built and which stands as a snlendld monument to thorn and for their children. To this army of countless scholars do wo owe the credit of supremacy which our great commonwealth enjoys In tho up building of our republic; .In the edu cation and enllghtment of the peo ple of our own state; and in the fact that Pennsylvania has been the model and Inspiration of her sister state's In the formation and estab lishment of systems for better education.' GOLF IS A SAYS m Ironmaster Sees a Score of Charms In the Game THE vacation number of the In dependent contains ,n charac teristic article by Andrew Car negie on "Dr. Golf." Tbp ar ticle Is herewith reprinted In part, tbf simplified spelling being Mr. C;ime gle's: The first golf club In the 'United states was organized nt Yonkers Nov. 14, 18S8. and named St. Antlrpws. Rob ert Lockhart of Yonkqrs. born In Dun fermline, Scotland, was often in his nn tiv town as buying member uf his Urm. and there he lernt the ancleut and roy nl game. He purcbast 'several dozens f clubs In Dunfermline and upon ar rival nt Yonkers explained the game to his fellow crony Dunfermllnltc. Jnck Reld. and a few others, who began ex perimenting in Reid's orchard, a larger field being afterward secured. Jock Reld was elected president of the club (Lockhart declining becaiw be had to bo abroad so much) and John C. Ten Eycke, of good Dutch stock, secretary, which he still remains. The game of golf, in my young days was the preserv of the upper classes hi Scotland, sure mark of the gentleman, nnd n sickly plant south of the border. No lady was ever seen on the links. Tho charm of golf, who can analyze and decide in what It really consists? First, we need to use the plural. It has not one but a score of charms. We are under the sky, worshipers of the "god of the open air.'' Every broth seems to drive nway weakness and dis cas, securing for us longer terms of happy days hero on earth, even bring ing something of heven hero to us. No doctor like Dr. Golf his cures as mi raculous as those sometimes credited to Christian Science, minus Its un known and mysterious agencies, which are calculated to alarm prudent people. Not tho least of its virtues is Its power to nffect the temper and especially tho tung. We hav only to remain silent to produce unusual results. The preven tiv treatment successfully applied has Its .richest field upon the green. Stories of the Links. There was n plctur in Punch recent lya caddy following a player is haild by the other caddies, "Where are you going, Sandy?" "I'm going to bear this gentleman play golf." Clev er lads, some of the caddies! A real dUlfer of noble presence was on n urac ils gamo alone. Uepcatcdly be h:id foozled In his. attempts .to drive nml finally exclalmd, "Well, 1 never ton zled like this before!" Caddie, ustuu Isht, "Your honor has played before":" A cousin of mine made his first trial one morriing on Skibo. links, and, is often the case when taking It all easily and not trying hard, bei sin reeded wonderfully. He could hardly wait for the morning gnme. We start ed and he foozled everything, and at Inst 1 herd exclamations and cald out to blm, "What 'nation,' Morrison?" IT-j replied apologetically, "1 know, 1 know, I felt it but I didn't think .1 said it." We hav a celebrated professor who was lost from site for a time. His cuddle at last coming in site nnd being' askt. "Where's the professor?" cald out, "He's down i'mong the whin talkin' to hissel'." Loud lafterl A deacon was reported as having re signed from his eldership in the kirk. Being askt why by his minister he ex plalnd that be had either to resign or quit playing golf, and he knew be couldn't do that. A Skibo Celebrity. Skibo links hav some celebrities whose first efforts' at golf began there, Frederic Harrison bad been initiated one morning and was playing his first match. When bq was foozling his way to the long holo for some time I turnd round and askt, "How many?" "Three," he replied. I had seen hiiu miss frequently. After three and ser en had been afllrmd by both several times", we proceeded to locate the strokes. After getting In a fqw "air strokes" in counting the seven Ilur rlson exclalmd, "Oh, make it twenty if you count these; I only hit the ball three times!" There are games and games. Doe? a game mako opponents closer nnd dearer to each other, or does It arouse 111 feeling nnd Jealousy and drive men apart ns rivals, even foes, each grndg lug the success of tho other? We often hear accounts of the rivalries nroused by some of our games, foot ball especially, and very "naturally so, plajrd. as It Is with us, when men roll on the ground nttemtlng .to disable each other. The reversq is tho case with golf. Men become .dearer friends than ever. Tho oftener they meet on the green tho fonder they become of each other and the greater the longing for their chum's society, and In after years, If separated, each warms ns the name of 'the other Is mentioned nnd ends his panegyric with the ever en trancing words, murmured with emo tion, "Ah. we playd golf together!" Short, simple, sufficient! Golf glvs us intervals for exchange of . mutual thoughts which strengthen the ties be tween us. We rejoice to see that our chums are playing well and applaud their success. Golf Is a came entire- DOCTOR, CARNEGIE Its Great "Effect on the Temper and the Tongue ly free from fysical struggles over opponents the ineradicable root of evil in football. Beauties of the Game. No game glvs so much of the open air, the elixir of life, from morning till nlte. With a modest bite nt luncheon mayhap it can be playd without un due fatigue, even by elderly people, and then there's the few minutes' rest and the chat at the green with your bosom crony. No delay Impairs the game. Sit and moralize, drive off at your plesure. It's all tho same. Another special feature of the grand game is that, forgetting all other sub jects, attention must be concentrated upon it. This is what takes the cob webs out of tbu brain. Hunger, thirst, cold or heat, business cares, sublime soarings nil take a back seat when the critical moment arrives and all de pendsmpon the last put. I was a very late convert to the noble game of golf. Well do I remember laughing nt the first nttemts of some guests to drive wee balls into wee holes in somo parts of the park at Skibo. One day a noted golfer nnd cup winner, Mr. Morrison, librarian, Edin burgh, came to mo there all aglow, his eyes sparkling, and announced In rapid accents, panting for breth, his remnrk nble find. "Do you know you hav a natural golf course at the bottom or the park between the Loch and the Firth 7 Certain, no possible mistake. What a find!" And my friend awaited my reply In nn attitude which seemd to express wonder that I had not faint ed nt this startling discovery, this su premo gift of Providence which made Skibo perfect, leaving nothing else to be desired. Wo had to be careful not to shock our friend by seeming Indif ference and did 'the best wo could to conceal tho latent smile. This wns only eleven years ago. MorrlSon was told to work it up, and Skibo links is the result. And such links along one side a salmon lorh, seagulls nesting upon nn island In the center "where screams t!io wild sea-mew" as they flutter around; tho salt firth along the bther side; scores of skylarks nesting along tho edges of .the links nnd filling the air with their thrills as they mount; the carpet under our feet a variegated rug, so brilliant the colors. ' Tho links cost money, but we ask ourselves what amount of money would induce us to part with this special at traction, wnlch givs rarer plesure to more of our visitors than nny other one feature of our life In the highlands. His Own Play. My nephews play and win prizes, and upon our visits to our gifted sis ter's Cumberland Island I saw tho ef fect of the game upon devotees of our family. Nevertheless 1 was persuad ed Just to try one drive or two just to be' in the fashion, then another, and, lo and behold, before I knew It the temter had me In his tolls and I be came not a player of but at golf, which 1 am still and shall forever remain. Beginning at sixty-three, what can one expect? I try to make good bar gains with real players, and the num ber of strikes some generous souls al low givs me a game now; and then. I'm tolerable nowadays upon tho green, but the long, straight, swinging drive Is still beyond my reach, altho I was on the green In three twice recently, and this Inspires hopes. COURT SERMONS. Ten Minutes Was the Limit In King Edward's Reign. The recognized time for a preacher to occupy the pulpit when preaching before the late King Edward was ten minutes. King George, however, has never quite npproved o'f these very short sermons, and it has been inti mated to the .chaplains In ordinary at tached to the royal household, from whom tho preacher for the morning service at Buckingham palace is usu ally selected, that their sermons may be lengthier than they were customari ly In the late reign. An intimation of this sort amounts practically to a command, but it, is doubtful If It will be very welcome to some of the chaplains who were in the late king's household, who have during the past years rarely preached a ser mon of more than ten minutes' dura tion. Roosevelt a Suffragette. The Woman Voter, organ of the Wo man Suffrage party, is out with an in. terview with ex-President Theodore Roosevelt; Colonel Roosevelt says; "My family Bays that I am the only suffragette In It. I consider myself a very courageous man because of my sentiments In favor of woman suf frage. ' My wife Is only tepid on the subject, nnd my sisters are pronounced anti-suffragists." Japan's Wealth.

Residences to Ba Built Where Hous ton's Executions Were Heldj "Hangman's grove,"' one of the his toric spots of Houston, Tex., has pass ed. Tho last giant of a group of oaks wicb In the pioneer days of Houston provided a natural gallows for the hanging of offensive persons, has suc cumbed to the march of progress, nnd "hangmnn's grove" is to become resi dence property. By a peculiar coincidence tho Inst tree that fell tinder tho ax constituted the gallows for the last hanging on this spot thirty-seven years ago. Its broad hanging limbs ten or twelve feet from the ground were marred by the great grooves In the bark into which ropes tied about them bad sunk as the limbs grew and widened. The last vestige of this hemp long npo disap peared in (ho 'shape of souvenirs, but the marks' remain nnd mutely tell of the grewsomo happenings twoscore years ago. For t years this grove, served as a place for the execution of death sen tences Imposed In the early days of Houston, but no record was ever kept us to tho number that swung Into eter nity from Its boughs. The grove was discontinued as a place of execution When public sentiment grew against It because of the 'immoral effect It was said to have upon the minds of boys who flocked to the place when a hang ing was announced. He prayed each night for hope and health And freedom from disaster. He prayed each nlffht for joy and wealth, But never did he pray For strength to put away - The faults he failed to master. He prayed each pfght for happiness And for a high position, He prayed each rlght to have success, But never did he kneel To pray the Lord for zeal To better his condition. Chicago Record-Herald.
