The Hawley "mine lire's" dying
down;
Our Democratic ticket's shy;
We're fixing things on High School
ground
As fine as apple pie.
There's nothing in the "murder"
yarn;
The Sunday lire was smoke;
The Erie station takes on airs;
Our rhyme machine Is broke.
H
lAWLEY'S " mine " flro has
now passed the danger
point. It has not been able
to cross the ditch that was
dug, and in Its segregated
condition Is slowly burning out and
dying down. Indeed, were It not for
an occasional wisp of thin smoke
that lazily arises from the cinders,
the hunter after fire would scarcely
believe there Is any left. On Sun
day, during the shower, steam and
smoke arose In a cloud, thus indi
cating that there is heat ascending
from the turning gases ueneatn tne
" junketing trip," but never mind
that. Close your ears. Think of the
public good. Consider that school
boards are to give efficient service,
not to become money-makers or
money-savers.
When you come back to Hawley,
cool off, and do a little thinking.
You are doing well now, my dear
Hawley School Board, but we'll bet
a neck of potatoes, (and they are
going to be scarce and small this
year,) that you will redoublo your
efforts. You will want to rank along
with Scranton and Honesdale, (and
the latter In many points ranks
ahead of the former). You will
shudder nt the thought of having
anybody class you with some country
district with Its unspeakable and un
writable conditions of outbuildings,
play grounds and absence of lawns,
You will wonder if It was just wise
to turn down the proposition to build
that concrete walk and the much
needed steps and other improvements
and you will wonder If Dennison's
figures were not low enough consid
surface. The Erie Company has tak-! ermg what you were golng to gpt
un up uib mu uubo iiiuu u f0r your money. You will, perhaps,
t0, thV'a,rd ater tank, and now peo-1 gee that other thingg mIgllt be
pie of the town are holding their 1 dono ,n th way of waU CS( an(i iawns,
'""b anu flowers, and paint to improve
the people's property so that it will
bo more of a credit to the town than
It really is.
Next week the writer may have
something more to say along this
line. In the meantime he wants to
commend the school board on what
it is already doing in the matter of
real progress and borough school ad
vancement.
The Democrats Failed To
Xominato n Town Ticket.
There was a gathering of Hawley
Democrats in Town Hall on Tuesday
night. Probably to put it more ac
curately, there was no gathering of
the Democracy of Hawley on Tues
day evening. There was a meeting
I scheduled, however, and the object
I was to put in the field a complete
1 ticket for borough officers.
In Hawley this year there are to
be elected one person to act as Bur-
sensational event
What They Arc Doing At
The High School Building.
The sound of hammers and saws
makes merry music, indeed, up on
High School hill in thy early morn
ings of these late Summer days of
heat and drought. The auditorium
of the building is on the basement
lloor: It is about 50 by 50 feet, ex
clusive of the stage. The ceiling is
of metal, and there is a metal drop
from the ceiling on the four sides of
the room of four or five feet of metal
sheathing. Below this the cement
walls were left untouched, prisonlike
in their stony coldness and color.
The carpenters are transforming
this lower part of the walls of the
room from all their unattractiveness
to a work of real art and beauty. A
splendid grade of Georgia pine is
used, and it is put on In the form of
panels. These panels are surmount
ed by a wooden coping that corre
sponds to the plate rail of a modern
dining room When this wood work of election and two inspectors
is finished with filler and varnish, and nlp.inn

Much Needed Improvements
At tho Erie Station.
Workmen are busily engaged this
week in making quite extensive and
very decidedly much needed repairs
at the Erie station. Tho old toilet
accommodations were quite out of
date, and they are being replaced
by up-to-date furnishings. Tho toil
et room Is being enlarged, and when
the work is completed, that part of
the station will be more of a credit
to the Erie railroad company.

While looking over tho borough's
High school building and its
grounds on Tuesday morning the
writer felt that he must, in the
spirit of justice, commend tho school
board on the spirit of progress they
are showing. In our judgment they
N. Mederer was named for tax
collector. T. J. Oldfield was named
for assessor. James L. Tigue was
named for judge of election, and

were placed on the ticket as inspec
tors. The meeting was not well attend
ed. There was a lack of enthusiasm
are not going as far along tho lino Nobody seemed anxious for political
of improvement on the building and
grounds as they should go.
Honesdale has set a State-wide ex
ample along this line.
It was the pleasure of tho writer
two years ago, at the Invitation of
Prof. H. A. Oday, to go over and
through the High school property at
the County seat. It is about as near
ly perfect as such an institution can
possibly be; but it is none too good
for the children who attend the
schools, for nothing can be too good
or nice for school children.
Tho public school building is the
place where children begin to learn,
and their education should be along
lines more comprehensive than those
usually considered as bounded by
learning to read, to write, to spell,
to calculate, to use language gram
matically, and to have some knowl
edge of geography and or history.
True education Includes an apprecia
tion of the beautiful in nature and in
art. These are absorbed from the
child's surroundings. The grounds
should be well kept. There should
be flowers as well as greensward.
Lawns should reach to well outlined
walks. Tho play ground should have
its boundaries and should be used
for purposes of play and recreation
only. Lawns and walks should not
be used for recreation purposes.
Tho proper care of tho human
body, which is " the temple of God,"
belongs In the public school educa
tion. This lino of education is com
prehended by the use of toilet rooms,
otc. And right here is a suggestion:
The writer believes that a fow dol
lars could be expended to great ad
vantage were all the members of the
board to make a trip, say, to Scran
ton, to spend a day in looking over
what that city Is doing to educate,
her children. Then visit Honesdale
for tho same purpose. Then go out
in the country and oxamlno the
school system. Got a few pointers
from Supt. Koohler where you will
bo apt to find tho worst conditions,
the Hlithiest outbuildings and the
meanest and most unsanitary condi
tions. Be sure and go where he tells
you and take It all in. Of course thero

Wild Rumors of Murder '
Wero Wnftcd Abroad.
Some of the wildest rumors Im
aginable were abroad early this
week, and they were tinged with
blood of the regulation "fe, il, fo,
fumb" kind. Ono rumor was that
a man had been murdered at White
Mills. Another was that a commer
cial traveller had reached Hawley
with $2,000 in his possession, that he
had deposited half of his cash in a
Hawley bank and had been assaulted
and robbed of the other half by a
bold, bad Hawley man that he had
hired to drive out with him. Tele
phones jangled and tho wires wero
hot for a time as anxious inquiries
from newspaper reporters, who
thought they scented a sensational
story, wero answered. Then there
was a great calm. Ed Richardson
didn't know anything about lt, nelth
er did tho banks. Neither did any
body else. Ed. Richardson said that
"the story might possibly have start
ed from tho fact that ho holds two
warrants In his possession for the
arrest of a young man charged with
assault and battery.
