Christmas With the Teachers.

. A question that is just now disturbing the
usual serenity OF many q tair teachers brow
is whether they are to have a pay day before
Xmas this year, and which, according 10 the
schedule, does not occur till January 8. In
the past Xmas tides it was due to the
thoughtfulness 1Secretary Charles Reisfar
that the teachers received their shekes,
and yesterday, on inquiry, Mr.. Reisfar said
he intended asking permission OF the
Finance Committee this year to pay the
teachers before Xmas. And as he never yet
has been refused, it is to be presumed that
the gods will again be kind to the teachers,
and they, too, can make their friends happy
in the gIft-giving season of Christmas.

Our local amateur athletes are all getting
ready for the winter exercises and enter
taiEments 1t is likely that there will be
some very interesting contests and indoor
sports this winter. If the present intentions
are carried cut there will certainly be.
secretary Page, of the Three AS, tells
me that the association with which he is
connected will have an indoor meeting
shortly, and that it will be great one.
The contests will be held in the Cyclorama
building, Allegheny. This reminds me that
the Three AS are just on the eve of getting
a clubhouse. They have been extremely
unfortunate in the clubhouse matter, as
disannointment after disappointment has
met them. With good clubhouse the AL
legheny Athletic Association should be one
OF the bes: in the country.
And the P. A. C's are active as usual
1t is their intention to have good winters

Right Education His address was a plea
for the teaching of morals in our schools,
and among other things he insisted that the
Bible is the only accepted textbook on the
subject. He said that education meant to
nourish the mind and not to draw out the
mind.
Miss Nelke of the Fort Worth Uni
versity recited selection from Bulwer-
"Lenore''-so well that she was called
back, and by request recited 1.-THE COLLINS
VIII Get You-n In response to a second
encore she recited ''The School Marms
Courtin'." These recitations showed Miss
Mike to be a complete master-of her art
Mrs. Walden, chairman of the committee
on Worlds fair scholarship candidates, re-
ported that her committee had decided to
put the girl and the boy in the high school
who had made the highest average grade
during the past three years. As the girl
candidate, Miss Mand Boaz, and as the boy
candidate, Mr.. John Gilmore. In this con-
nection she took occasion to say that Miss
Mary Ayers had made q little higher aver
age grade than Miss Boaz, but had declined
the nomination.
This meeting was very largely attended
by persons not members OF the city teach
ing force. The Women's Wednesday club
was out in force, as was also the faculty
of the University. A very large number OF
patrons of the public schools were also IN
the audience.
The teachers seem to be very well pleased
with the manner in which Superintendent
White is carrying on these meetings, pro-
nouncing them a great improvement over
the method of last year.
