ing to receive all these on subscription

Whenever we say word IN the
Joianal concerning education or school
matters, Mr.. Tuten of the Bellefonte
Rcp,j'lcan gives it n political coloring.
The other week we commented little
sharply On the small attendance at one
Of our schools, when instantly the Re
ptJ!icaa goes for us and our town in
manner that proves beyond question
that "a first class education" has ut
terly failed TO mako a gentleman of

thank you the least bit Mr.. Tuten, for
singing them out and holding them up
as models of intelligence, education,
refinement and morality, as is your
habit. In fact they feel triea sheep
iSh over the distinction you give them
realizing in what an unfair and awk-

illiberal and .bigoted editor has placed
them. Tuten, you ought to be asham-
ell of yourself Republicans here are
heartily ashamed of you) for making
party relation the measure and guage
of everything good and noble. While
the interest in education and in schools
she should, it is also true that some
Democratic localities, ReberSburg, for
instance, has just us good, if not better |
schools, than many Republican towns
or townships. Tuten knows this-he |
might know it, if his bigOted, shriveled |
mind would permit him to view things
honestly and fairly.
1t affords us pleasure to add that the
Millheim Grammar School is beginning
to I've much better attended. Hope it
may continue to increase in numbers
and interest.
