These are the days of letters. All of the
leading politicians have had their fling in
letter. Letters of acceptance, letters of
resignation. letters of excuse, letters on the
situation, letters of information, letters of
declining, are set before the public every
day. This is the latest fashiOp-the latest
stream where everybody who can hold a
pen falls in. Our countryjust now is re-

was not strange that fend the equal OF

ICOmmunicatCd.l

Mr.. EDITOR 1t is a pleasing fact to all
who are interested in popular education, that
the schools of Monroe county are RECEIVING
more attention than they have heretofore.
''The Wickcrsham Normal School, pro-
jcct is good one We do not hold, as some
persons in this vicinity, any antagoaistic
views in reference to this enterprise. An
institution of this kind if properly conduc-
ted, will undoubtedly contribute to the
promotion Of the common schools in our
county. We admit that the place which
has been chosen for the Institution is not as
suitable as it might be, yet this does not
condem the undertaking.
Aside from this there arc other school
interests worthy of our attention.
East Stroudsburg has done well in the
erection ofa commodious school building.
But, 1t can not boast Of paying its efficient
principal teacher high salary. Perhaps
the school patrons of the place think, since
their principal is an unmarried man, he can
live on moderate pay. Foggyism in Smith
field township has been recently thrown into
violent convulsions by the prompt action
taken by the school board which has been
supported by the intelligent caste of the
township. But like all SPANS, these contor-
tions have left their victims in compara-
lively debilitated condition.
Stroudsburg is behind its neighbors in
school buildings, but by the judicious manage
ment, of such men as Thos. A. Bell and
others, of its educational affairs, there is no
doubt but what it will soon have a building
of which any town may feel proud

An article il the Mining Register con

OF Stroudsburg, which ought to be photo

Pennsylvania. 1t was dug by the farmers
of the reighborhooi, between 1880 and
1910, at the suggestion and under the su
pcrintendence of one OF those wandcriny
charatans, who declared that he had
"come upon the track of a silver mine"
on the north bank of the mountain, where
the Aquachcola flows down towards the
Lehigh Water Gap. He had followed
IT. across the creek, and over the hills
