.1. Carson Mercer, a commissioner of

There are twelve young ladies em
ployed as teachers in the Kittanning
schools, and in an address to the
teachers at the beginning of school the
president of the school iioard Informed
them "that the lurking-about of beaux
would not bo tolerated."
Two men were stand Ing on thocorner
of Main and Fifth streets r.ne evening
last week discussing the political situa
tion and one of them said: "All men
don't think the same in this politick,
and you can't change their thlnkln'
thought. You must read all kinds of
papers, for if you jist read one paper
you'll jist git what's in it and that's all
you'll know."
A minister who has preached In coun
try school houses and city churches,
remarked a few days ago in the presence
of the editor of Thk Stak: "If I want
ed to bo lazy and not study real hard, I
would rather have a city church to
preach in than a country church.
Country people, generally speaking,
dovote more timo to reading than city
people do, and are better posted on
the Bible and religious topics."
TUcro is no use in getting excited
over political questions whereby ani
mosity and acrimony is stirred cp
neighbor against neighbor. 'When you
take a sober thought you must conclude
that the dollar that is best for tho one is
also best for the other, and also that the
kind of tariff that benetits you will ben
efit your neighbor. The thing for you
to do is to decide for yourself which
kind you honostly bollove is for the
common good.
"Had any body shown it to mo in the
light in which you afterward showed it
to mo, I would not hare dono it under
any consideration." This is an extract
from a letter of u penitent confessing a
great crime and asking pardon. Tho
same con fossion contained this sugges
tive phrase: "I was not specially intent
upon wickedness." Countless deeds
which ruined their perpetrators would
'never have been oommitted if the pro
position had been looked upon In every
possible light, and many are notceiul
ly intent upon wickedness, but upon
self-gratification.
Big rivers and big quarrels arise from
a flowing together of many little streams,
each of which taken separately might
be diverted into another chunnel, but
altogether make a resistless flood.
''Take care of the pennies, and the
pounds will tako care of themselves."
Take care of the little grievances, and
the big ones will not come. Parents
have many opportunities of teaching
their children, both by precept and
example, how .to differ from others
peaceably, how to adjust clashing In
clinations, how to wear the laurel of
the victor without vain-glory, and to
pass under the yoke without degrada
tion. Differences will arise between
children as they will among grown
folks. Children need to learn how to
quarrel without losing their tempers,
without breaking friendship, without
being embittered by defeat or over
elated by victory, without taking un
fair advantage, without feeling that
might makes right, without ignoring
the "inalienable rights" of their antag
onists. They need to learn to stand for
themselves within limits, and correct
their thinkings by reference to right
standards of thought and action. Ag
gressive children need toning down,
timid. and retiring children need toning
up. The parent has an opportunity to
lay down principles of action and policy
that will be of Immense service when
their social and civic quarrels shall be
ot moment.

In assuming charge, of this depart
ment It will be our aim to make It in
teresting and beneficial to teachers,
pupils, patrons and all who are interest
ed In the welfare of our schools and the
educational system of our country, and
to accomplish this end wo Invite contri
butions from one and all, on educational
topics, mutters pertaining to our
schools. Ac. that will be of interest,
but this column Is not open for the air
ing of personal grievances, or any mat
ter calculated to Injure or reflect on
any one. Contributions for this column
should reach the editor not later than
Saturday evening of each week In order
to insure publication. Mtli nest
wishes for the success of this enterprise,
wo make our bmv and proceed to liusl
tiess.
Our schools are starting In with brlh
liant prospects for a successful year
and if tho two weeks just completed are
to be considered as a criterion then the
present term will bo the best the schools
have had for many a year. 1'inf. Iatl
kerd, the principal, has thus far shown
himself to be progressive and energetic,
and with tho assistance of his corps of
teachers has gotten matters pertaining
to school government anil ilisclpllne
down to a system us regular as clock
work. Principal, teachers and puplh
are working harmoniously together, all
striving to attain same goal, viz: tho
highest standard for our schools, and
with tho hearty and unbiased co-opera'
tion of parents, citizens and the friends
of education in general, there is no rea
son why the public schools of Keynolds-
villo should not occupy a position In the
front rank of the public schools of this
country.
Pupils are iM'ttor prepared for a sue
cessful year now than ever before, for
tho reason that the course of study is
outlined for each year, giving to tho
iiiidII tho advantage of knowing at the
beginning of the term Just what he or
she will have to accomplish in order to
attuin a higher grade, and giving no
one a reasonable excuse fot' not attain
ing a higher Miint. The rules and reg'
illations are not severe or tyrnnieal, but
on the contrary, while firm and explicit
are nothing objectionable but necessary
for a good, thorough system of govern
ment, and no pupil can unknowingly
break them as each one of them has
copy for reference.
Thus far the Interest lioth by teach
crs and pupils has been commendable,
Chapel exercises are held each morning,
and literacy societies are being formed
The High School being tho first on th
list, has organized the ShakesMarian
Literary Society, which will meet on
Friday evening of this week ntul elect
its officers and act upon other matters
pertaining to the society.
Room 1.1 follows with tho ICmersonlan
Literary Society, with tho followin
officers: President, Clifford Kaucher
vice-president, Ijots ltobtnson; Bcerc'
tnry, Lizzie Irving: treasurer, Charles
King; critics, Katie Nolan, Olive Iloyiv
olds. Kxorcisos every Friday afternoon
after tho present week.
An orchestra has been formed with
tho following Instrumentation: First
violin, V. J. Weaver; 2nd violin, Vin
cent Reynolds; clarinet, Joseph Sjiears
trombone, S. M. Lowther; Cornet,
; piano, Frankio King. Th
orchestra will furnish music for the
socleties and school entertainments.
A male quartette, composed of excel
lent musical talent, will be one of the
special features of all entertainments.
Every convenience necessary for th
best Interests of tho schools Is being
added. Electric gongs were placed In
position on Saturday last, one on each
of the first and second floors with but
tons in the principal's office on tho first
floor, also In the recitation room on th
second floor, so that the principal can
signal from either place. These gongs
were presented to tho schools by the
teachers and are a decided convenience,
A museum and mineralogical cabinet
is being started, and specimens from
the animal, mineral or vegetable king
doms contributed by the friends of th
school will be greatly appreciated by all
concerned.
The sidewalks about the building are
nearly completed, grounds graded and
rolled, and our beautiful building stands
out in bold relief, a model of modern
architecture. ,
SCHOOL NOTES. j
Janitor Kline is the busiest man about i
the place. !
The ladles of the W. C. T. L pre
sented the school with u handsome j
Bible to bo used in the chapel. The
gift is greatly appreciated. '
A number of additional desks were
placed In several of the rooms on Satur
day last.
The electric gongs are ut the thing
for signaling.
Window curtains are badly needed In
the several rooms, especially during
this hot season.
The school machinery Is moving along
without a jar; the wheels of education
are thoroughly lubricated with the oil
of harmony and patience.
The novel method Principal Lenkerd
has adopted to keep track of tardiness
and absenteeism causes the pupils to
waken up to a sense of their duty.
Prof. Lenkerd is after those boys who
abuse the smaller pupils on the way
home from school. Boys, don't do this;
don't be mean.
The apple trees by the roadside seem
to be a source of temptation to the
small boy.
