Two tramps who wore arrested by
Chiuf-of-pollco McFurland at midnight
were put to work with a ball and chain
attachment this afternoon. Exchanges
please copy. Ridgway Stur.
It tramps were treated in all towns as
they are in Ridgway there would not be
so many strong, healthy, dirty hobos
on tho road as there are to-day. About
a year ago It was mentioned in this
paper that tramps who loitered around
Roynoldsvillo any longth ot time would
be put to work on tho streets. Tramps
have either made their stay short in
town or somothlng else has happened,
for we buve never heard of a tramp
being put to work on our streets. A few
such examples will go a long way in
settling the tramp nuisance In Reyn
oldsvllle or any other town, for these
wandorlng Willies would about as soon
wash as work, and It don't take them
long to "spot" the towns where thoro

Attendance Officer Appointed.
At the meeting of the school board
Monday evening Jacob Hennlnger was
appointed nttenilnnco officer, whose
duty it shall bo to look after, apprehend
and plnco in such schools as tho person
In parental relation may dinlgtiuto,
truants and others who fnll to attend
school in accordance with tho provisions
of tho compulsory educational laws.
On account ot tho number of pupils who
play "hookey" tho board found It nec
essary to appoint the at tendance officer.
Tho school board proposes to enforce
tho compulsory law. ,
Tho law says that every parent,
guardian or other person In this Com
monwealth, having control or charge of
a child or children between tho nges of
eight und thirteen years, shall be re
quired to send such child or children to
a school In which tho common English
blanches nro taught, and such child or
children shall attend such school during
at least sixteen weeks of each year in
which schools In their respect I vo dis
tricts shall b in session, unless they
are excused from such attendance by
the board ot the school district as pro
vided for by this law. For every
neglect of duty imposed by this act, the
person in parental relation offending
shall be guilty of n misdemeanor, and
shall, upon conviction thereof before a
justice of the peace or alderman, forfeit
a fine not exceeding two dollars on first
conviction, nnd a flno not exceeding five
dollars for each subsequent conviction.
Tlio law also provides that, tho board
of directors or controllers may set apart
school rooms In publlo school buildings
for children who are hnbitual truants,
or who are Insubordinate or disorderly
during their attendance upon instruc
tion In public schools.
Resolutions Passed at Teachers' Institute.
There wero a numlicr of resolutions
passed nt tho teachers' institute held In
Hrookvlllc tlio lust week of November,
of which we print a part, as follows:
Bo It resolved Fourth Whereas, tho
price of school text books has in no way
boon subject to the general decline, anil
whereas tlio Immense profit derived
from their sitlo Is an incentive to the
use of (iiiestloiiablo means in securing
their adoption, be It resolved, that the
Jefferson County Teachers ask the
legislature to make provisions for the
printing of text books hy the Stute
Department of Printing, and for thoir
distribution nt cost to the schools.
Fifth That we respectfully usk the
legislature to pass an act granting to
school directors compensation for at
tending tho triennial convention for tlio
election of county sti)crintendont, shall
bo puid by t lie school districts: and
further, that thoconimlttee on examina
tion for permanent certificates ha allow
ed compensation for the time spent ill
holding the annual examination.
Sixth Whereas, tho legislature hns
passed an tictprnvlding for the establish
ment of district high schools und the
appropriation clause therefore hns
failed to lioeomo a law, bo It resolved,
That we ask tho legislature to appro
priate sufficient funds to make the pro
ject, possible.
w liereus, the American people
exhibit an apparent lack of frugality;
and whereas wo bellevo a training to
tlio proper use of money during child
hood would bo of much benefit In
establishing an Independent citizenship;
no It resolved, That we petition tho
leglslaturo to make provision for the
establishment of a system of school
savings banks.

Boys and girls, your "uncle" wants to
talk with you a little this week on mat
ters pertaining to punctuality, und
promptness In tho work of your literary
societies. Wo nro afraid that mr.ny of
you nro losing Interest In literary work
and becoming lazy, as It wero. Don't
do this. You can't expect, your society
to be a success if you each ono do not
take hold and help to push It along.
You cannot expect two or throe who
aro Interested to shoulder all tho work
nnd provide entertainment for tho rest
of you week after week. That would
be very unreasonable, to say tho least.
Tnko tho parts assigned you cheerfully
and when your name is called respond
and have something to soy, no matter
how little. Show your willingness and
you will be surprised In a short time to
find how easy it is to get up and Bay
something, and then to think of how
much more pleasant and entertaining
your exercises will be to everybody.
Try this, don't be a drone. Tho great
est orators, statesmen, jurists and
actors of the day hud to muko the same
beginning. Fame is not reached at a
single bound. Drop the "I can't"
whine nnd take up tho ringing "I will"
and success will attend you in all your
undertakings. Bo prompt nnd punctual
not only In your society work but In
your school work as well. Don't allow
the anticipation of tho good tlrao you
expect to have at Christmas time to
drive from your minds tho fact that
examination time is coming on. Bo
punctual. In tho great clock of timo
there Is but ono word, and that Is
"now." "Now" is tho watchword of tho
wise, "now" is the banner of tho pru
dent. Lot us always keep this little
word uppermost in our minds, and
whenever wo have any work to do, bo
it raentul or physical, let us do it with
all our might, remembering that "now"
is the only timo with which we have to
deal. You will find thHt "putting It
off till to-morrow". Is a hard way of get

ours: "then' may nevor come. Bo
punctual, putient and persevering.
Look on the bright side; it Is the best.
Hard times may come, but it will not
mako them easier by wearing a sad coun
tenance. It is sunshine that makes the
flower. Don't forgot that tho sky Is
blue ten times where It is black onco,
and there Is always something around
us which should cheer us. Think of
these things, boys and girls, be studious
nnd good and you will be happy.
