More About the Plan to Devote Them to
Educating the Indigent-A well-Known

The project Ou lined in THE DrspArcH OF

speech delivered by Superintendent Luckey
before the State Board Of Public Charities
and Directors of the Poor of Pennsylvania
in Christ NJ E. Church October 10, 1878 The
following extracts from the speech, and
which is now to be found in the archives of
the Central Board OF Education, Are given

AT the close of the late Civil War the
patriotic citizens of the Commonwealth, to
snow their gratitude to the heroes who
fought under the flag of starsand gave their
lives Tor the preservation OF tile Union,
provided in different sections or the State
houses for'their orphan children. In these
homes they were fed. clothed and educated
and to-day no more honored or useful citi-
zens can be found in the counties of this
commonwealth than those who we're thus
sheltered. trained and nurtured in the
the patriotic founders OF these schools has
nearly been accomplished, inasmuch rs
most OF the children have reached the age
OF maturity. Now with these ample building o
ana other appurtcnances for their susie
nance and care already provided, let US call
upon the Legislature to extend this system

youth OF Pennsylvania. In the name of
humanity let MS call upon them to fill UP
these vacant asy1ums with these homeless
children, and rear them uD in intelligence

seeds OF future happiness and security for
society. These children want to De placed

through windows free from bars out in gar

1t Will not be inopportune at this time TO
recall the name of the founder of the SOL
diers' State orphan schools Very few dis
pute the fact that James z. Barr late editor
of the Posi-, devised the plan and presented
it to the Legislature as early as the six ties
for the care and maintenance of the soldiers
orphans. He was a man of broad heart and
broader intelligence, and it was but natural
that man of his caliber should be the
founder of a system which has done so much
good and the mistakes OF which cannot be
credited to him or his plan.

The announcements of the death Of Mis-.
Lizzie Edwards, of the PEBBLES schools, whose
illness was chronicled in this column just
month ago. was a severe shock to educa
tional circles, for she was the most widely
known teacher in the city. On Friday after.
noon it was with saddened countenances
her associates at the PEBBLES schools met to
make arrangements to attend her funeral,
which they will attend in body to-day.
The Misses LauDie, McCutcheon. Alexander
and Mrs. Parker we're sthe committee ap-
pointed to secure floral tributes.
Her death was repetition of the old story
of a daughters devotion to an invalid
mother. All her moments outside the school
room we're spent at the latter's bedside.
This noble devotion was really responsible
for her death. Her mother died four years
ago. This blow was followed by her fathers
death in July, 1891. To-day tender hands
will consign her to the tomb, and as she
sleeps away the years before the general
awakening she will be remembered by her
pupils, fellow teachers, relatives and friends
as noble and devoted woman.

LONDON, Nov g.-The leading jour
mails Of Switzerland and many French
journals are protesting against the re
ported purpose of Germany to fortify
the Folkenberg mountain, thus saCur-
ing a stronghold at 81 point dominating
the west valley of the Rhine within
four or five lzIometers Of Hasle. Forti-
hgatiou OF any point within I2 lzilums-
ters Of Swiss territory by either France
or Germany is contrary to the pr0vis-
ions Of the treaty OF Vienna and should
Germany infringe upon those pro
visions 1t would indicate that the time
had come which the Swiss had long
dreaded, when Germany should dis
regard the sovereign independence of
their little republic
