"Black coal has mado modern liiaust
ry ; white coal will transform It." This
li the motto of a paper In Franco and
refers to the increasing use of a combi
nation of water power and electricity
for motive power. Where ever there
are water falls, power can be generated
In immense quantities at a minimum
cost, and electricity will carry the
power for (treat distances. And where
this is possible, the smoke and soot and
grime of coal Is doomed to disappear,
Id France especially this is becoming
more common every year.
In view of the fact that the North so
recently shed Its blood to free the negro,
it Is interesting to read the opinion of
Prof. William James, a prominent East
ern educator, on the future of the two
races in Amorica. Recently in the
Springfield (Mass.) Ri'pnUican he wrote
"Three years ago I predicted that at no
distant time we should have civil war
between the races. To-day I unhesi'
tatlngly stand by my prophecy. In a
very few years, unless some special
legislation is enacted, we shall have
negro burnings on Boston Common. In
the South negro lynching is already a
permitted exception in the midst of our
civilization. Not long since prominent
New York newspapers editorially spoke
of lynohings as excusable Everywhere
we find educated men and women raak
ing light of the baseness as being after all
only a rude sort of justico, just as Chris'
tians of the Middle Ages continually
killed and persecuted the Jews with the
Mistaken idea of honoring the Saviour.'
The writer may bo mistaken in his
views, but coming as it does not from
a sensational demagogue but from a
conservative educator, it shows the
trend of thought even in the north.

Minutes of Teachers' Institute.
The tonchers' institute hold In As
sembly hall January 23rd opened nt 1.30
. m. with scripture reading and prayer
by Supt. Teitrlck. A forenoon session
had been planned, but so few wore in
attendance that the Institute was not
opened until afternoon.
Prof. F. T. McClure was elected
chairman and Ml Julia Kirk secretary.
Tho first selection of music was a
vocal solo by Julia Kirk. This was
followed by a most excellent paper,
First Year In Latin, "by MlssSprague,
teacher in tho Brookvllle high school.
The Importanco of drill on the first les
sons was emphnsl.od, also drill on per
sonal endings and verb stems. The
wisdom of making the study of Latin a
constructive and reasoning process was
very clearly shown.
Instrumental solo by Miss Frances
King.
Miss Vorhees, alsoof Brookville, read
an Interesting paper on "Geographical
InlUiono.es In History." She showed
that the location of our large cities was
inevitable ; that the great factors in
making our history are our great water
ways, our mountains as natural barriers,
sea coast harbors, mineral resources and
great forests.
Vocal duet, Florence Harris and Lil
lian Harries.
Instrumental solo, Lulu Sykes.
The first addross was given by Hon.
3. B. Elliott, bis subject being "Things
that make for Rlghteousnes in tho
School Room and in Teaching." Mr,
Elliott deplored the fact that so few of
our students attend the public school
until they graduate, assigning as one
cause the length and tediousnoss of our
course : as another the necessity of
pupils leaving school at an early ago ;
thus forming a sort of educated aris
tocracy. The fact that pupils well gov
erned at home are easily governed at
school was well proven by many ex
amples. Parents sometimes forget to
encourage children In their school work
and thus deprive them of a much need'
ed stlmulous. Some qualifications of l
good teacher were commented upon.
Among them good health, a cheerful
spirit, ability to teach, a love for the
work and a deep sense of justice. It
was suggested that the teacher teach
something every day that is not in the
regular course, especially when pupils
are weary and restless, which time
comes in every Bchool.
Vocal solo, Wallace Mitohell.
"America," sung by the audience
Mr. Petersen, of Summerville, gave
some good suggestions on the teaching
of spelling. He gave a recent exper
ience of his and stated that it bad
been very satisfactory. He selected
about a thousand words in common use
Ten ot these were assigned each day
to be defined and spelled. When one
hundred words had been spelled they
were reviewed dn written lessons of fifty
words each. All pupils spelling the
words correctly drop out and only those
who could not spell the words must try
again. In this way tho teacher can get
right after the poor spellers.
This was followed by a discussion on
spelling in which it was shown that the
old fashioned spelling class is a very
good place to learn to spell. It was sug
gested by one who has had much ex
porlonce In school work, that If we want
good spoilers we must spell.
Vocal duet by Misses Frances and
Golda King.
On account of the lateness of the
hour Supt. Teitrlck's address was brief,
He warned us that purposeless teaching
does not bring results, and elted many
cases In history and nature in proof of
this universal law. He made a strong
plea for the teacher to draw very near
to bis pupils, that he may give them
the very best In his life. This is the
teacher's great opportunity. He closed
with a very stirring appeal to all to do
tho very best possible for the child.
Recitations were then given by Edgar
Shields and Hamlin Pontic tWwp.lt.
A vote of thanks was extended to all
who helped U) luuko the institute pleas
ant and profitable.
A Newspaper Correspondent.
A newspaper correspondent writing
from Falls Creek to the IicynohUville
Paper, which was then published by
Laumer & Black, in the issue of April
5, 1883, made this statement : "About
six months ago tho forests of pine and
hemlock for miles north of this place
were unknown to the shrill whistle an
heavy tread of the iron steed and in
tbelr midst naught was heard save tho
caroling of birds or the distant bark of
Reynard, lulled by the plaintive mur
mur of the midnight music made by the
oooling zephyrs among those stately
pines but all very suddenly the sound
of falling trees, accompanied by echoes
of the woodman's ax was heard, until
great opening was made for milts the
earth was heaved up, rocks were rent
assunder and the iron monster now gees
panting and neighing through the
forests, around the hills and over the
valleys, crossing streams and deep
ravines with perfect ease. How wonder
ful are the works of man and yet bow
insignificant when compared to the
works of nature."
Geodness I What an effort at flow
ery speech that must have been ) and
how little did that1 correspondent then
dream of ever becoming proprietor of
the Falls CreelT Herald .-Falls Creek
Herald.
High School Bulletin.
Edited by Members of the
fteynoldsvlllt High School
Friday, Jan. 15, in the presence of
about fifty guests, the High School
gave ono of the most interesting pro
grams of the year In the form of a mock
trial.
De Marls Rldgoway, plaintiff, brought
suit against Frank Strouse, defendant,
for breach of promise, asking $15,000
damages. The lawyers were Clyde
Murray for plaintiff and John Coleman
for defendant. Anna Klahr, Ethel
Kunes and Lawson Reed supported Miss
Rldgeway and Geneva Milllren, Cora
McCrclght and Carl Kirk gave tholr
testimony In favor of the defendant.
After the testimony of tho wltnessess
and a long and stubborn examination
by the lawyers the case was left with
the jury. After about thirty minutes
deliberation the verdict was announced
In favor of plaintiff, placing of 150,000
and costs on defendant. The court
then adjourned.
Miss Nulu Nealu has returned to the
Senior class to take a post-graduate
course In Virgil, Geometry and German
The Seniors are all glad to welcome
Miss Neale among tholr number.
The Seniors are somewhat elated
over the fact that they are to read
Virgil, being the second class In school
that has taken up this classic. Tbey
arc about two months earlier than last
year's class and will in all probability
receive a better understanding of that
author's work.
The members of tho High School
were very sorry to learn that Miss Mo-
Gaw would not bo among their number
for sometime, being kept away from
school by a broken arm.
Miss Cora Robertson is again with us,
She has been at home for over a week
suffering with nervous prostration.
