The Middlecreek Township School House
Mudde.

For n number of years the citizens
OF Smithgrove have agitated the
propriety of erecting a school house
in that place for the reason that too
large number of pupils, nearly or
about one hundred, are attending
the school at WetZels. a new
school house will be erected and mt
once settle veXed question. Jas.
j. Mitchell has received the contract
at S9i2.-COWier.
The facts in the above case are
that four of the directors met some
time ago to take action for building
a school house, and appointed Il
building committee of two who were
authorized to purchase II site and
contract for plans and specifications
and to award n contract for the cree
tion of building. The committee
purchased site, published notice of
letting, and awarded the contract us
above stated. There the powers of
the committee ended. Two of the
directors having refused in the first
instance to join with the rest, they
persuaded one of the four who had
voted for the resolution, to join them
against building. At subsequent
meeting this director moved to have
the resolution reconsidered, but the
other three remaining firm, defeat
ed the motion.
The last Legislature passed an act.
approved June q, 1893, empowering
the Court of Common Pleas, upon
the petition of at least ten taxable
citizens of the district, sworn to by
at least six of the petitioners, COM
planning that school facilities of the
district are insufficient, to appoint
an inspector TO take testimony aud
ltSi1qaiiSinto the facts M'1eeed NJ
the petition, and, il the inspector
reports in favor of the petition, the
Court is to grant a rule on the direc-
tors who refuse to act to show cause
why they should not be dismissed
from Office and others appointed in
their stead to serve until the next
election.
IL. II. Grimm, Esq, last Saturday
presented petition as above stated
to His Honor, Judge Mcclure, who
appointed Jay G.. Weiser, Esq, as
inspector, who will take testimony
at the public house of Samuel Rum
bach, Kreamer, on Friday of this
week.

Our Public Schools.

Our public schools opened on
Monday and Grace Barton, in lit
tie couplet expresses the whole
agony of the school boy:
MY heads much smaller than the books
My teacher gives TO me.
And how l'll get 'em In my head
II truly cannot see.
The boys and girls could often
times get more into their heads than
they care to, or make any effort to
acquire, and yet, on the whole, their
wall is not without iustiication
Public schools, as well as most 9th
er educational systems, are too
much given to forcing facts into the
heads of pupils, just as if they com
priced all available knowledge. 1t
has been most convenient to meas
ure the advancement Of pupils by
the number of knowledge items"
they have crammed into their heads,
irrespective of mind development.
And thus the system has been con
tinued, simply because the teacher
in his examinations can find no 9TH
or available method by which to
grade the units of u pupils intelli-
gence.
To the observant one it appears
that we fail to arrest the dormant
powers of the pupils. Suppose that
on leaving school we wish to fore
cast n lads future. What shall we
try to find out about him Shall we
ask what he knows 2 No this would
by no means be the main thing.
What we would ask, first and fore
most, is this-Whom does he love ?
Whom does he admire aud initiate
What does he care about What in
texests Mmf 1t is only when the
'kfss~SSyB yB>to vleso 10 ..'.,
isfactory that we can think hopeful
ly OF his future aud it is only in so
FAR as the school course has tended
to make the answers satisfactory
that 1t deserves our approval. Our
public school system is not sufli-
ciently calculated to enlist the heart
and the affections of the pupil. IT
were wiser to develop the powers of
the mind and body by exercise and
endeavor to instill an interest in the
children that will raise and elevate
them.
When the terror Of books is once
gone, the springtime of IA boys life
can be as described by Knox:
Happy the schoOlboy Did he prize his bliss
lwere Ill exchanged for an the dazzling gems
That gayly sparkle in ambitions eye;
His are the joys OF Nature, his the smile.
The chcrup smile, Of innocence and health
Sorrow unknown, or, II a tear be shed.
He wipes IL soon for. hark the cheerful voice
OF comrades calls him to the top or bali
Away he hles. and Clamors rs he goes.
with glec. which causes him to tread on air.

Many good items are lost to the
newspaper by the modesty of peo-
pie who hesitate to tell reporter of
matters concerning themselves. Not
that they do not want it to appear
in print, but they are afraid they
would be pushing themselves for
ward. This is wrong. From re-
portorial standpoint the man who
will stop newspaper reporter on
the street and inform him that he
has been to Chicago, that he is GO
ing to be married or that his wife
entertained friends from distance
is the dearest man on earth. May
his like increase througout the
world.

return him the quarter, but he re-
fused to take it, saving he was well
satisfied with his bargain as he con-
sidered the book fully worth the
price he paid for it. Mr.. Wetzler is

cations and is taking a Philosophical

quires three years hard study. He

draws to close the demand grows
stronger for tho economical and sat

The special trains will be compos-
ed of the standard coaches for which
the Pennsylvania railroad company
is noted, and the arrival in Chicago
ut an early hour the following after

New Fish Ways
A BIG PROJECT IN HAND FOR THE BENEFIT
OF sUsQUEHANNA FISHERMEN.

The Fish Commission is consider
ing the advisability of altering the
fishway at Columbia and erecting n
new one at Shamokin. At present
but few shad are forced beyond CO.
lumbia. Shad fishing practically
ends there, the dam ut that point
not allowing them TO pass. 1t is
considered by many of the commits
sioners as most desirable to increase
the area of shad fishing. If the pres
ent plans are carried out shad will
be found as far away as Shamokin.
1t is especially desired TO restore
shad fishing in the Susquehanna.
Thirty years ago the river teemed
with enormous shad
III the money needed can be Sc
cured fishways will be erected in
the MIllerstown, Clark's Ferry, and
Shamnkin dams. The shad can
then ascend the river, on It's north
branch, as far as Nanticoke Dam 4;
to Muncy on the West Branch, and
up the Juniata to Millerstown.
III the Commissioners are really in
earnest about these fish-ways there
will be no trouble in constructing
them so as to allow the fish to come
up, but they must consult the old
fishermen along the river who have
made the habits Of the Susquehanna
fish life study, and not depend too
much on book learning.

A number of the farmers OF Craw-
ford Co., o., have been caught in n
deal for Red Beauty" wheat. The
agents who have been working it
there have disposed of a full car load
of seed wheel. The seed company
furnishes seed wheat and fertilizer,
while the farmer furnishes the land
and laborfor seeding, raising, harvest

the company half of his crop. Just
where the farmer makes anything
from it is not stated in the ironclad
contract.
When enemies gather around,
when sickness falls on the heart,
when the world is dark and cheer
les, then is the time to try friend
ship. The heart that is pure gold
will redouble its effort when the
friend is sad and in trouble. Ad-
versity tries real friendship. Those
who turn away from the scene of dis
tress betray their hypocrisy, and
prove that interest only moves them.
If you have friend who loves you,
who has studied your interests ard
happiness, be sure to sustain hlm in
adyersity. Let him feel that his love
was not thrown away.
