Pennsylvania Railroad Report.

The annual report of the Board OF
Directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, deals with large figures and
shows in a very striking way the effect
of business depression. The shrink
age in gross receipts on the entire
system of the company was over SI6,-
900, 900. But this great loss in
revenue was nearly oounterbalanced
by rigid economies. There was de-
creased expenditure Of $4,000, 600,
reducing the net loss to about So ooo,-
900. 1t is a triumph of skillful man
agement that under such adverse con-
ditions the company has been able to
pay dividend Of S per cent. and
carry balance TO the credit of profit
and loss without an increase of rates
for the transportation of passengers
or freights. Probably no great rail-
way in the world is more skillfully
handled than the Pennsylvania sys-
tem.-Er.

tite and we got bottle of Hoods
Sarsaparilla and he began taking it.
In three days he was able to eat as
we'll as usual My husband had
catarrh of the throat and the doctors
could not relieve him so he took
Hoods Sarsaparilla and be has not
been troubled since. Last spring /

All of the papers. as well as the

Prof. Noetling gave lecture on gener-
al school management. He spoke Of
the relation Of the condition of the
school room to the cultivation Of
taste, to good order, and character
formation Of the duties of directors,
parents, and teachers, and the neces.
sity of the co operation of teachers
and parents. He said that it is true
that "as the teacher SO is the school,"
but since the teachers are as the di-
rectors who employ them, and the
directors as the people who elect
them, It is much nearer the truth to
say that the schools are as the people
who are responsible for them. The
lecture was full of valuable thoughts
and suggestions.
After singing by the choir, the
Question Box was opened, and found
to contain the following:
What would you do with pupils who
are habitually late2
What would you do with pupils who
are in the ha bit of studying loud?
What shall l do with mischievous
boy who cannot be reached by kind
ness ?
Would you prevent whispering?
What would you do with a pupil
who told you falsehood2
Would you ever resort to corporal
punishment
What should the qualifications of
directors bep
Should teacher proceed with re-
citation if some Of the pupils are not
paying attention ?
What would you do with pupils
whose tardiness is caused by parents
who are not interested in the educa-
tion of their children?
Should district school have Ii
brary1
Does a teacher have the right to
punish pupil for misconduct on the
way to and from school ?
How would you prevent pupils from
throwing paper upon the floor :?
Prof. Noetling answered the ques-
tions satisfactorily. Some Of the ans
, wers had little of the humorous in
them, owing to the anecdotes he re-
lated in connection with them.
The last exercise was a very credi
table recitation by Daisy McHepry,

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

A Local Institute, embracing the
townships of Fishingcreek, Mount
Pleasant, and Orange, was held in the
M. E. Church at Saltwater, on Satur-
day, Feb. a3d, 1895.
In the absence of Joseph Hidlay,
district President, w. w. Evans was
elected president, and S. B. Grouse
was elected Secretary.
Prof. VIM. Noetling of the Blooms.
burg State Normal School conducted
the devotional exercises.
Mr.. Evans stated the object of the
meeting and the benefits to teachers
and citizens of meetings for the dis
cuSsions of educational subjects.
The fist regular subject upon the
program was primary work. The dis
cusslon was opened by tie Secretary.
He believes that mental arithmetic
does not generally receive the atten
ton its importance demands and that
written arithmetic, as usually taught,
does not yield the discipline it should
produce.
Prof. Noetling agreed with Mr..
Grouse. He said that because mental,
work was neglected, arithmetic mad
largely become little more than me,
chanical figure work. The mistake
! that many teachers still make is to be
gin number work either with figures
or with the names of numbers, instead
of numbers themselves. Figures are
not numbers nor is the language oI
numbers numbers. Numbers originate
from numbers of things, In all sub
jects, whether arithmetic, reading
language, Oh nature work, the teaching
should begin with the children's ex
perience as a foundation, and they
should be trained to make their owr
discoveries, to help themselves M
arbitrary rules or definitions should b'
imposed upon them. They should b.
taught to discover their own rules an,
definitions. Any teaching that vic
lates this principle is contrary to tn
laws of mental development and there
fore stunts the growth of the mind
Several others of the teachers express
ed their views on the subject unde
consideration, and their ideas indica
ed that they are up with the times.
After the discussion closed, 81
lection was sung by the Stillwat,
Choir, and the Institute adjourned fo
