PAGE FOUR THE MOUNT JOY BULLETIN, MOUNT JOY, LANCASTER CO., PA. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20th, 1928" : Sixteeners Held (From Page One) Lancaster; Financial Secretary, Jno. Armstrong, West Fairview; Corres- ponding Secretary, Sadie Barry Wyant, Sunbury; Historian, Mrs. H. H. Lindemuth, York; Chairman of the Executive Committee, Chas. Gearhart, Philadelphia. The meet- ing adjourned at 5.00 P. M. The evening was devoted to speech making, reading of records, music, luncheon, ete. One of the most interesting papers read was by Mrs. H. H. Lindemuth, of York, Pa., who was a student at the Mt. Joy Orphan School and was entitled, “The History of the Orphans of the Civil War Veterans,” which read as follows: President Lincoln was inaugurat- ed on the 4th of March 1861: His predecessor escorted him to the White House and retired into mer- ciful oblivion; and the new Presi- dent began to prepare for the great task which had been imposed upon him, The language of his inaugur- al address was conciliatory and vet firm. Referring to the people of my dissatisfied fellow and not in mine, are tous issues of civil war. ernment will not assail you. You can have no oath registered in Heaven to destroy the Government while I shall have the most solemn duty and determination as Presi- dent of the United States, to en- force the law and repossess the stolen forts and arsenals. countrymen The Gov- slow to admit that there would be be war. The South had so often threatened, and so often been she meant establish a advantageous anything more than to position for extorting concessions. now offered, but were rejected. | During all the month of March and | on to the middle of April Mr. | Lincoln was strangely silent; but | it was not silence of indecision. He was at a loss to know what the South really meant. The stillness was at last broken, and the work of compromising with slavery ended, by the bursting of a rebel shell over Fort Sumpter, April 12th, 1861— This act aroused and united the \ North, and the uprising of the peo- ple was wonderful. Within twenty days almost two hundred thousand men were ready to take the field, and the loyal people had offered nearly forty millions of dollars for the war. This was the beginning of a momentous struggle, which continued four sad and weary , years. The slave power was not weak and cowardly. It fought to the bitter end, surrendering only when = utterly exhausted. The North suffered many defeats, and passed through many seasons of deepest gloom and discouragement. Had it not been for the deep-seated conviction that they were fighting in a righteous cause, they might have dispaired. The whole people were humbled and became thought- ful and grave under the awful cir- cumstances amid which they lived. The sacrifices of the war was fearful. During its consinuance two million seven hundred thousand men bore arms on the side of the North; of this number ninety-six thousand men were. killed in battle or died of wounds in hospitals; one hundred and eighty thousand died of disease in hospitals; and many more went home wounded or strick- en with mortal disease, to die amid scenes of their childhood. Sad memories of the war are sacredly cherished in nearly every Northern home, The War Governor And Soldiers’ Friend the South he said: “In your hands, | the momen- | quieted by fresh compromises that | De determined, it was difficult to believe that now | Indeed | iv hts it honorable terms of peace were even | S°lVe from his thoughts. { in their various places of worship and give thanks to God for the mer- cies and blessings of the closing year. On the morning of the day Annual Reunion —designated for this sacred serbice | two children called atl the executive {| mansion and asked for bread. The request was not an uncommon one. Scores had, at the same door, asked and received alms, unobserved save by the servants who dealt out charity, It would seem that it was ordained by Him who calls himself God of the fatherless, that the Gov- ernor himself should meet and speak with these needy ones, to be told by them how their father had been killed in battle, how their mo- thers had since died, and how they had been left utterly friendless and alone. There they stood be- fore him on that chill November day—the day appointed for public Thanksgiving and social joy and feasting—clad in rags, timid and | piteously begging food, a pitiful | sight indeed to the Chief Magistrate ‘who had been for more than two vears calling for troops with vows of guardianship over their children. Keenly did that great hearted man feel the appeal. He attended Thanksgiving services heavily pressed with the reflection which the fate of those two children of a slain soldier had awakened, and when again with his family the deep regret burst forth in an agon- ized expression: possible that the people of Pennsyl- | vania can feast this day while the children of her soldiers who have fallen in this war beg bread from | door to door.” Then it was that | Governor Curtin told his family of the affecting scenes of ling, and with ! much excitément the morn- | deep feeling and | went from one | The people of the North were | thought to another; it was he said, { Mary Wood; | an unjust, | christian-like and un- | the sold- a disgraceful thing, that |iers’ child should beg.

It was while such reflections were | revolving in his mind that a pub- | lic reception was given in the Aca- demy of Music in Philadelphia. Governor Curtin was invited to pre- side; and recognizing the opportun- ity to bring to light the thoughts that were crystallizing in his mind, he accepted. It was at this gather- ing that Governor Curtin brought before this audience that great ne- cessity of caring for the widow and orphans. He said: “My friends let us no longer fail in the preformance of our solemn duty, let the widow and the dependent offspring become in fact and in truth, the children of the State, and let the mighty people of this great commonwealth nurture and maintain them. Let this not be a mere spasmodic ef- fort, but let us now at once lay the foundation of a systematic and con- tinuous work, which will enable the ! defender of the Constitution to | know as he places his weary vigils| upon the cheerless picket, that his | family at home is cared for, and that dying the justice not the char- {ity of the country has provided for Lites helpless survivors.” It was at this time the Governor Curtin made an earnest appeal for the fifty thousand dollars that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company had offered be given for this cause and failing in is recommendation to the Legislature to help provide for the maintenance of the Orphans. We owe to the Pennsylvania Rail- Governor Curtin was inaugurater in January 1861, his devotion to the cause of the Government made him known as the War Governor; iers in the field, as the “Soldiers’ Friend.” When he reviewed the gallant men who had responded to his call, as he was bout to leave them in the march for the harvest of death, he pledged himself and his State to care for their wives and the little ones if they should give life for country. It was a great privilege—great in its purport and in the granduer of its fruition; but it was made by Governor Curtin, and it was most faithfully fulfilled, has crowned him on the Peninsula in 1862, the Presi- dent of the United States, at the instance of the loyal governors, is- sand more men.

The ideal of mass produec- tion, with tremendous turnover and a small individual profit, has taken School. December 20th of the same vear another school was opened at | Strasburg, Lancaster County, under | | the Principalship of Prof. J. R.| | Carothers, and this latter institu- | tion became the Mt. Joy School. The accomodations at. Strasburg be- | ing inadequate, the Prof. E. L. Moore at Mt. Joy was secured, and the transfer to Mt. Joy was made during the vacation period in the summer of 1865, sixty-four child- ren being transferred. Two sis- ters, Clara A. and Violet E. Dennis, { were the first girls to enter Stras- | burg, December 20th, 1864, being | transfers from Paradise; and the | first boy to enter was Francis H. | Smith, March 28th, 1865. who came ! from West Fairview, Cumberland | County. A number of Sixteeners | who are at present, or were during their lifetime, prominently connect- ed with our Association from the date of its organization in 1888, were among the very early entrants i of the School under Prof. Caroth- ers, such as W. C. Hunter and Frank Hays, both of whom entered Strasburg in 1865. C. Day Ruby, { American telephone industry, which firm hold. A good example is the has reached peak efficiency in giv- ing service by centralization of facilities. Coordination has replac- ed cut-throat competition and small- time business methods. The impossibility of any small, localized company being able to furnish adequate telephone service is obvious. Where once “big busi- ness” was considered a manifest danger to public welfare, it is now commonly understood as an econ- omic necessity.
