The Teacher., ImtsItute.

. 1t is to be hoped our citizens will take
sufficient interest in the teachers insti-
tute which is to be held next week to at
tend it. While it is held especially for
the interest of teachers, it is something
in which all interested in promoting
education should encourage. The exer-
cises will interesting and instructive.
Prof, Payne, who has charge, has few
superiOrs in educational matters. He
will be assisted by other prominent edu-
Gators, who will take part in the pro-
ceedings. This being the first institute
ever held in our county, the citizens
should see that it is not a failure, and
show that they have an interest in all
that tends to the improvement of our
schools by attending the sessions
as far as practicable. The pro-
gramme will be announced
from day to day. Let all who can, at
tend each session. 1t is especially i'm
pOrtant that teachers should attend all.
They cannot afford to miss such an OPP
pOrtunity. ChebOygan county must
keep pace in educational matters with
other counties, and this cannot be done
unless every opportunity for improve
ment is embraced. Places in which
these institutes have been held appreci-
ate their influence, and if proper inter
nst ia taken i'm this it cannot fail to be
beneficial to the schools Of our county.

The Leviathan arrived at Chicag

The Leviathan arrived at Chicago
with the schooner S. L. Watson last
Monday morning. She got a job to aid
in getting the schooner Allegheny off
the beach near Racine, Wisconsin. Capt.
Kirkland telegraphed for his jack screws
and large blocks and they were forward
ed on an N. T. boat to Milwaukee. A
telegram from Racine to the Inter Ocean
saws three tugs had been at work and
had only succeeded in moving the
schooner three feet. When the "Old Re-
liable" goes for anything she usually
gets it. and we have no doubt that the
Allegheny is not an exception.

Arrangements are being made for a
shoot at glass balls for the champion
ship of the county. The contestants
will shoot at Is balls each, IS yards rise,
from Bogardus trap and be governed
by Bogardus rules. The trial will take
place one week from next Thursday,
i'm the afternoon. A small entrance fee
will be required from all entering the
match. Messrs. Smyth & Co. are get
ting up handsome silver badge to be
awarded the successful shot. For some
time past there has been considerable
rivalry among some of the members of
the gun cuban close shooting has been
done. This will afford an opportunity
for all to engage in trial for the cham
pionship, and we have no doubt that
there will be a sufficient number enter
to make the trial an interesting one.

And hoped that God would spare
more children, now so stricken down,
Their parents love to share.

when God would come to call his own
Up 10 that better land.
just after four. on Friday eve,
The news to me did c,me
That Lafayette had passed away,
To his eternal home.
We htle thought that Edward, too,
Would get his call 80 soon
But just before the midnight hour
The call for Edward came.
When morning dawusd, there, side BY side
Two loved ones liieless lay
And yet, for them, we knew had dawned
One bright eternal day. ~
IL was my duty now TO shroud
Them ready fos the grave Ntilf W
How calm and peaceful was each facs,
- Ason them we did gaze ihu
We had not time TO linger long
Five sick ones yet were left
10 claim our care, and try 10 cheer
That family so bereft.
Their mother lay In the next room
Her babe but three days old
And could not see her darling boys,
TIL they In death were cold.
How sad the thought No mothers hand

No mothers breast on which to lean
The sick ones aching head.
Their rofhns now were carried in
And placed close by her bed
mothers anguish thore was seen,
As she bent DER her dead.
Dead, did sayl They are only gone
To wait your coming there
oh. glorious thought those children now
Are free from pain and care
They are waiting on the other shore
For loved ones all to come;

And says "thsre still Ia room"

OUR SCHOOLS.
Annual Report OF NJ. l.. McCluown, SUPER
intendent Of schools OF Clearfield
county. for the year ending
June list, 1919.

The interests of majority of the
school children have been carefully
guarded during the past year by those
having authority over them. The
combined efforts of directors, teachers
and parents in nearly all the school
districts have secured for their schools
the fullest measure of success. The
regular attendance, laudable ambition
and correct department of scores Of
pu pills gave TO our schools increased
dignity aud efficiency. In few dis
tricts unwisc economy, on the part Of
directors, defeated our most progress
i've measures and no striking improve
ments were manifest. With the lessons
OF the past year to guide us and the
sun beams of renewed financial pros
perity shining upon us, we have every
reason to believe that the work of the
present year will be crowned with still
more satisfactory results.

ingly deficient Directors have re-
marked to me that their teachers
seemed ignorant OF the use Of appara.

70 them, and was the principal cause OF
their Indifference in this direction.
This statement, in many instances, is
too truo. The directors OF Morris,

IN MEMORIAM.

1t is with feelings of the deepest
sadness that we are compelled, at tho
close of this year, TO chronicle the
death Of two Of our most cstlmable
young teachers. Early in the Spring
of 1878, Miss Marcie Irwin, who was
member OF the County Institute,
and who taught one term Of school,
died at her home In Goshen township,
at the age Of twenty-three years. Time
with its effacing fingers can never re-
move the memories that cluster around
tho golden deeds Of her Christian life.
She was IN exemplary teacher, always
winning the confidence and esteem Of
those who were TO profit by her in.
struction and example.
Scarce had Nature We'd in the splen-
dor of the Spring of 1879, when death
again invaded our ranks. | refer "a
the death Of Miss Maggie McGec
which occurred ut her home in Bel
,,wnsbip, April 2sth. She taught
one term and was welLknown 10 many
of our teachers, having attended the
County Normal School two terms, and
having been a member Of the County
Institute. She will live long in thu
memory Of those who enjoyed thu
purity and richness other society. Gen

The Great Cat Hoax.

In August, 1915, just before Napoleon
started oa his exile to st. Helena, a quantity
of bandbiils were dis tributed through the
city Of Chester, England, at the direction of
a very Q1akerly looking sort of a parsonage,
informing the public that q great number of
gepteel families had embarked at Plymouth
10 proceed to ST. Helena with the troops APP
pointed TO guard the ex-emperor. Now, st.
Helena, the bills stated was cursed with a
plague of rats, and the British ministry had
pledged It5elf to clear the leland of those
noxil Us animals for the benefit of the resi-
dent citizens. Accordingly, all good Britons
were called upon to furnish their gudnttna of
grown cats or thriving kittens for the carry
ing out of TINS purpose. The government
was willing to pay the piper, and in addition
to free transportation in a vessel to be
chartered for the purpose, offered
for each athletic, full-2rown tom-cat,"
sixteen SD llings; for each adult female puss"
ten shjllings; and half that sum for every
vigorous kitten that could ''swill milk" The
result can be imagined. Within three DAYS
over three thousand cats were collected in
Chester, the city was pandemonium, and
one street la which the cat merchants had
been directed by bill TO assemble was the
scene of positive and bloody riots. Mean
time some mischievous boys had let the cats
ont of their bags, and colossal hunt had to
be organized among the hoaxed spectators.
In one day five hundred of the obnoxious fe-
lines had BEEN thrown into the Dee, and
Chester for months was afflicted with swarms
OF stray cats as the result OF the freak.
