some fine music under the leadership
of Prof. }. III. Feehrer, the renowned
band teacher. Sergeant Meyer while
speaking to the boys was abruptly
stopped by several shots and surprise
and confusion was created in the crowd
ty cries like "The enemy Is near"
Cup boysand OH them" "Shoulder
muskets," Forward march" The
company left the speakers stand in a
quick march towards the scene of
action on another part of the
ground and were eagerly follow
ed by a curious and Cxrectant lot
of people. There the men were drawn
up in line of battle, five PAGES apart
and led by Lieut.. Spangler engaged in
an attack on the enemy, who approach
ed from the opposite direction amidst a
volley of shots. A regular sham bat
tie was fought, captives were taken
and returned to the stand under escort
Of the vjctors. The whole affair was
done up in very natural manner and
the people witnessed this military man
puvre with much pleasure and excite
ment.
The afternoon having thus beeu
pleasantly spent the balance of the pro-
gramme was carried out at Rebersburg

lire works took place lasting nearly an
hour. This com pleted the many pleas
ures of the day and everybody admitted
that the whole was n grand success and
will remain fresh in the memories of
the participants for years to come. Re
bersburg and its soldiers certainly de-
serve all credit for the manner in
which they had made the arrangements
making tins one of the most success
full reunions ever held in these valleys.

AS the time for opening our
schools fast approaches we hope our
board of directors will do their utmost
to give us good, active teachers. This
is the primary, the very first condition
of good schools. BY the term good teach
er we mean one who has the necessa-
ry educational, practical and moral
qualifications, and whose heart is in
the work: One who will not consider it
too much labor to visit the parents
of his pupils personally and endeavor to
show them the Importance Of sending
their children regularly, and require
them to spend their evenings at home,
engaged in preparing their lessons: One
who not only possesses a blameless
moral character himself but who will
make morals and manners a part Of
, his daily teaching. We need teachers
/ who understand their work and are
willing to perform it-teachers OF
strong individuality, good disciplinar'
ians, who will not shri nix under dis
couragements and difculties-tO lift
our schools and ourSclreS .out of the rnt
of inertia, indiffere ntism and genera
neglect into which we have fallen
There must be q thorough shaking W
of dry bones if we desire our children
to realize subs tantial benefits from ouI
schools.
Teachers who hon estly and fully dt
their duty should be fairly and reason
ably compensated. The same rule!
that govern the price of skilled labor il
other professions and callings shoult
apply here.
We have an intelligent, cOmpeten
