Needs in Public Schools
A large variety of opinions is giv
en by superintendente as to the
neeas in public schools, most of
whioh probably apply more especial
ly to the locality. One however
that would be generally approved
suggests that it would be far better
to pay the fare for conveying child
ren to certain schools than to ren in
tain some email schools at great ex
pense, and another that for every
n w subject introduced, fcomeml je)t
now taught should be curtailed or
omitted. Not one hints that there is
a too great, variety of subjects for
tbe time allotted a pupil In the
sohoo's. It would seem however
that here Is one of tbe great obstachs
in affording a pupil a thorough train
ing in tbe most essential branches.
He is obliged to give loo niuoh time
to the non essential at tne expense of
those things which would fit him for
a practial business life.
Not to deprecate a wide range of
information, which goes to make a
finished scholar, there are a few
studies whioh prepare a youth for
actual business and without-whioh he
must either fail, or be greatly handi

the time or means to acquire a broad
er education he should be thorouSh
lylgrounied in that which is of every
day use in winning his way, and tbe
other if he has inclination may fol
low. In short we think there is too
muoh cramming for tbe time usual
ly allotted in the public schools, and

tlon 80001,1 be given the plain rndi
mentb necessary for a practical bus!

Real Fan For Hallowe'en
Oldllme Rowdyism Should Be Super
seded by Other Amuiemeuti
Every boy feels that he has a speo
ial rijht on Hallowe'en night to go
out nnd have some fun .i,hmn n.
ottl(,r the fun is very apt to be at the
expense of other people. It may
seem v.'ry amusing to take gates off
their hinges and hide them; but this
is cruel fun, for it makes work for the
older people who have to put them
back again.
Ringing doorbells is another stand
ing Joke that may turn out badly.
Some boys once stood a board up
against a front door, rang the liell
and ran across the street to see what
would bappen. A woman oame to
the door with a lighted lamp in her
hand, and the board fell against hei,
smashing tbe lamp, and setting her
on fire, so that she waa terribly
burned.
There are plenty of ways of having
fun without injuring anybody, and
a good plan is to get up a Hallowe'en
masquerado party. Let every boy
hunt up the queerest old clothes he
can find and dress in them, ao that
the others will not know him. If
be has not a mask he can rub his
face with burnt cork, or paint him
self to look like an Indian, doing any
thing that will make It hard for the
other boy to recognise him The

History of Uncle Sam's
Great Seal
Gaillard Hunt, chief of the divis
ion of manuscript, bag Just complet
ed a historical sketch of the great
seal of the United States, the sketch
telling of the various stages of de
velopment through which tbe seal
went before tho one now in use waa
finally adopted.
When the Continental ConirrAM
made the obverse of the great seal
the national arms it intended that
the device should pass into common
use among the people, n the flag
had done, and, like the flag, tbe arms
at first met with general approval
which soon gave place to an acoept
anoe of it as an emblem of tbe power
ana sovereignty of the United States
which placed it above criticism.
Not all the fathers of the republic,
however, were pleased with the se
lection of the eagle as the national
emblem. When the badge of the
order of the Society ot the Cincinnati
was made in France in 1724 it was
objected to by some because the dis
played eagle resembled a turkey.
"For my part,, wrote Benjamin
Franklin, January 26, 1784, to his
daughter, '-I wish the bald eagle had
not been chosen as the renrnsenta
live of our country. He is a bird of
bad moral character; be does not
get his living honestly. You may
have seen him perched on some dead
tree, where, too lazy to fish for him
self, he watches the labor of the fish
Ing hawk, and when that diligent
bird has at leugth taken a fish and is
bearing it to his nest for the support
of his mate aud young ones, the
bald eagle pursues him and takes it
from Itlin. With all this injdstioe
he is never in good cast : but, like
those among men who live by aharp
ing ana robbing, he is generally
por, and very often lousy. Besides
be is a rank coward. The little
kingbird, not bigger than a sparrow,
attacks him boldly and drives htm
out of the district."
Feary-Cook Quarrel
Commander Peary and Dr. Cook,
who both claim to have discovered
thenorth pole, are both climbing a
pole so high as to make spectacles of
themselves. The terms "gold briok
er, fakir, liar nnd thief are those re
spectively indulged in. They are
giving the people an exhibition
wiiioh is not creditable to either. A
dignified assertion of claims and a
submission of proofs to establish
them would be proper and then let
those competent to Judge piss on
their merits. Calling names and
loudly proclaiming that tbe other Is
a fraud or anything else will not es
tablish facts. Observations, reoords
and intrinsio evidence weighed by
competent men would establish, or
otherwise, the claims they make,
but billingsgate proves nothing but.
that whatever else they niay be tbey
are not cool beaded gentlemen, and
een common people will not be
quite convinced that man who de
scend to such argument are fully en
titled to belief, if tbey baveno better
evidonoe of their declarations. It is
to be regretted that such controver
sy should be indulged in. There is
glory enough for both for they were
working independently toward the
same end ami if tbey acoomnlish
their purpese, what one did in no
wine detracts from tbe achievement
of tbe other.

Pennsylvania's Greatest '
Organization
INTERKSING ONE FOURTH THE
STATE'S POPULATION.
An organization that ban for Its
constituency one fourth the popula
tion of a great atste liks that of
Pennsylvania Is surely not one to be
lightly thought of or poorly rated In
its scope of influence.
The Pennsylvania State Sabbath
School Assooistion is unquestionably
the greatest organization, rellirlous
or otherwise, within the borders of
our commonwealth. It is a fedora
tion of all the Protestant Evammll.
cal Sunday schools of the State. It
has a live and oo operating auxiliary
organization in every oousty In the
State The counties in tan are aub
divided Into district associations and
through the district organ izatlone
the least school in tbe State is reach
ed and benefitted.
In one great otganization, there
fore there are over seven hundred
(700) auxiliary bodies representing
11,144 nnits or Sunday schools with
a total membership ef 1,674 167. or
about one-fourth of the inhabitants
of the State.
To care for the work of this great
organization calls tor the service of
168,825 men and women who volun
tarily give unstiutingly of their
time and means toadvanoe the work.
Suoh a display of generosity cannot
oe excelled any where.
This great otganization and Its
various auxiliary associations hold
over 2,000 conventions or meetings
luring the year. Add to this tbe
regular weekly sessions of each one
of the 11,144 Sunday schools in the
State and have nearly 680,000 meet
ing held annually in the interest of -promoting
Bible stndy and oharaoter
building.
Barely euoh an Influence steadily
snd systematically exeroised in the
interest of a better manhood and a
hotter womanhood for our common
wealth should be given high places
In the consideration of thinking men
and women..
The representatives of thla great
organization meet annually in con
vention for the improvement and ex
ension of their work This year tbe
convention will be held in Harris
