Tributes to Two Noble Dead,

although the midsummer vacation is here,
quite a number OF principals were in the
city, able to respond to the call of Superin-
tendent Luckey for q meeting of the Princi-
pals Congress to take action on the death Of
Prof Robert Kelly and Prof Benjamin
Jones, who both died in the month of June.
superintendent Luckey was Chairman, Prof.
sions of the worth of the deceased educa-
tors were uttered. Ex-Prof A. G. Burgoyne
spoke feelingly of his association with Prof.
Kelly and of his kindness of heart. Prof
W. A. Proudft Of the O'Hara school, said he
learned to know and esteem Prof. Kelly at
dwelt particularly on his patriotism. Prot.
8. A. Andrews knew Prof Kelly when he,
(Andrews) was 10 years of age, and a nobler,
truer friend of the young teacher could not
be found. Mr.. Jones had known him for the
past 20 years and found him to be imbued
with his work and a true gentleman.
Miss Rose McCleary, OF the Mt. Albion
School, spoke of Mr.. kelly's anxiousness to
give to young teachers the benefit of his
experience, and how he often said that in
the hands Of our public school teachers de-
pended the future of our public. Miss Nc
to the pleasure she felt in having been under
Prof.. Kellys administration at the Miners
Vile School. Prof. Mccullough, of the Thad
Stevens School knew both gentlemen, and
in the death OF both. two of the oldes5
and best teachers were called away. Super
intendent Luckey's association with both
deceased people extended far back. The
one thing Prof Kelly loved as well as his
profession was his country, and all his pupils
certainly graduated patriots.
Mr.. Burgoyne presented minute to the
memory OF Prof. Kelly and Prof. Proudft to
that of Prof Jones, which were unanimous
ly accepted. Copies will be engrossed and
sent to the family of each.
