PITTSBURG HAS A CANDIDATE.

George ]. Luckey Favorite Among Those
Mentioned for the National Commission
ership of Education n--Other News About
the Schools.
Pittsburg, it has just been announced. has
a strong candidate for the position of Com.
missioner of Education in the person Of
George j. Luckey, the well-known Super
intendent of the Pittsburg schools At the
earnest solicitation of his many friends, he
has consented to be candidate to succeed
Commissioner Dawson.
In this State Mr.. Luckey has all the
backing he wants, Governor Beaver and
all officials educational and otherwise, being
with him with all their hearts, while besides,
he has the recommendations of Ex-President
Hayes, John Sherman, and others from other
States. The Educational NelUs of Phila-
delphia, has come out urging his ability to fill
the position, which his friends believe he can
SO acceptably fill, and his chances look very
rosy; SO much SO that all interested parties
admit that the fight between the 20 or % can.
didates has narrowed down to @ contest
between Mr.. Luckey and Mr.. Bickner. editor
of the New England Journal
The arguments in Mr.. Luckey's favor are
that the Commissioner should be a man who
has had full experience in the conducting of
public schools, man of ability and a man fully
acquainted with all the requirements and
workings of the public school system of the
United States. The schools of Pennsylvania
have so long been looked upon as a model that
the people of the Keystone Stata believe that
1t Is entitled to some recognition, which would
be granted in the appointment Of Mr.. Luckey.
Mr.. Luckey, when interviewed yesterday, said
that since several educational papers had ad-
vocated his appointment, and at the solicita-
tion of numerous friends. he had agreed to say
that he would likely be a candidate. His
friends say that his success as Superintendent
here and his reputation in this and adjoining
States, as well as over the whole country, will
be big factor in determining who shall be at
thethead of the National Board of Edu cation.

comiums on the admirable work done. Super
intendent LucRey spoke of the value of news
papers as the greatest medium for enlarging
pupils vocabulary, because of the great NUM-
ber of new words not to be found in any
supplementary reading, and advised the teach
ers all to try the change. Prof. Logan also
indorsed news paper reading as the great pro-
cess for the enlargement Of words, as the
means for teaching geography, and to be posted
in the worlds news. The singing OF the
children, for its sweetness and softness,
received much praise. The success of this
division institute is unparalleled.
