Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1895-02-11

The Saunterer has no axe to grind in
this matter; he has no choice of design
architect, heating apparatus, contractor
or location. He has no land for sale
nor has he any friends or relatives who
have. He is firm advocate of public
education, and believes the public
schools should be as free and untram-
meled as the empyrean air He is op-
posed to school boards awarding SO, 900
contracts without inviting proposals
from far and near. He is opposed to
reducing teachers salaries at any time,
especially If the money is donated after
ward to the directors themselves. He
regards with distrust men who will not
deny 1t, when openly charged with alter
ing the minutes of the boards
meeting. He is opposed to an ex-
penditure Of $22, 600 for building that
will leave fully 300 children without
school accommodation, and he also be-
lieves the-citizens of every community
should denounce all persons among
them who would in any way retard the

You also say, The school board has
made a careful estimate of how many
pupils would have to be provided for. .
In previous article gave official fig
ures which showed we had almost $40
borough children enrolled in the public
schools ON February l. Now | say we
have 700 school-going children in Free
land. If the board has made careful
estimate" will you, who know so much
OF the boards affairs, give to the public
the facts and figures? If not, show how
the directors are going to provide for
the number | have specified in an eight
room building, with the future yet to
hear from? Don't you think "P, S."
that twelve rooms-5s pupils to room
would be nearer the requirements, and
is actually the number of rooms neces-
sary so that justice may be done the
taxpayers, the children and the school
board? If not, tell the people why.
This is one of the important features
which demands scrutiny to show wheth-
er or not the proposed new building will
accommodate all when it is erected.

Again, "P. s." volunteers the infor-
nation that the board will then ask
for bids to construct the building" :"
Has the board decided to do this? If
not, how does he happen to know it?
Were bids asked for to do the heating Of
the proposed new building, or did the
board make Il $4,000 contract for Il
$4,000 building before the building
itself has been authorized? If the pub
lie must rely upon ''P. S. s. word that
the bids will be asked for, they have a
very poor guarantee, The directors
may prefer to follow their own sweet
will, right or wrong, as it gives some of
them an excuse to charge up Expenses, ="
and no one knows this better than

The saunterer Again Discusses the Prop

1t is real kind of ''P S." to inform
the voters of Freeland of the boards
plans, but whatever this modern prophet
thinks he knows of the future is not OF
much Importance at present-not until
he takes the public into his confidence
again and gives some foundation or
source for his extraordinary predictions
of the good and beneficial work which
the board has in view. The question is
not whether ''all work possible shall be
done by home labor or not. "P. s."
says the board intends that this shall be
done, but "P. s." should remember the
board has not yet come to that part of
the contract, and at none of their meet
ings have the directors authorized him
to make this very worthy announcement.

osltioh 10 spend $22,OOO for School
Which Will Not Supply the Demand
for Additional Facilities.
For few weeks past have been try
ing to coax the Freeand school board to
make known its intentions and to give
some further information on the pro-
posed new building than the public now
possesses, and my efforts have proven
partially successful. In recent issue
of the Progress | notice there has arisen
an eXplainer, defender, general advisor
and all-round know-al, who considers
it part of his duty to tell what he knows
OF the past, present and future of the
board. For all this information the
public should indeed feel grateful. Who
would have thought that right here in
our midst we have ''P. S." who is cap
able or reading the future and, not
prophesizing or predicting, but can tell
with positiveness which is almost con-
vincing, of what will be done "once the
school board have the consent of the
people?"

DEAR OLD LADY.

She Wcs Going to "Albcrt's" and Reached
There Safely.
An Old woman wearing Il pair OF gold
eyeglasses WAS passenger OH one of the
trains from Buffalo to New York. She
had como through from tho west, and
the nervous way i'll which she gathered
her bundles around her and the number
Of questions she asked all showed that
she was not accustomed to travelling.
When tho trainboy came through with
his assortment Of books, she confidcd to
him the facts that sho was going to Now
York to see her son and that sho had
not seen him for over q year. Sho grow
talkativc and said:
My son Albcrt's a great preacher.
He is Methodist, and I am IL Mctho-

Missouri, and he couldn' get away this
year, but ho wanted to SEQ mo, and he
sent FOR mo to como on. He breaches in
big church there, and he has got fine
family growing up
SO she prattled on. The trainboy lis
tened to her attcntively and succeeded
in selling her a copy of "The Quick or
tho Dcad?" solemnly assuring her that
1t was q Methodist religious book When
no left her, she began to read it, calmly
ut first, then nervously, until she grew
tired. Then she began to nod, and final
~ tho book Slipped to the floor. Tho
gray hair reposed on tho cushion Of tho
palace car seat, and its owner dozed
peacefully.
The conductor camo through to col
lect tickets, and seeing tho peaceful
sleep of his passenger was loath to wake
her Finally he leaned over and shook
her gently and said:
"Whcro arc you going, mothcr?'
"To Albert's," was the quick reply
as tho eyes behind the glasses opened,
and the old woman looked around her
for g moment still unable to tell where
sho was. Tho motherly response touch
cd Il sympathetic chord III tho con
ductor's heart, and he carefully looked
after her until tho end of tho trip and
saw her rush into Albcrt's arms half

WHIPPED A PRINCE
How Poor TON" Benton Fell Foul OF Eng.
land's Future King.

lands Future King.
Iom Benton occupied for many years
IN fact, until his death--a responsible
position i'll tho household of Queen Vic
torla. Benton, who was of humble birth,
was but lad at Brighton when his par
ents died within few months of each
other, 1t WAS shortly after these events
Whcn the queens attention was called
10 tho young boy under rather peculiar
circumstances.
One day while Benton was gathering
smells on the beach at Brighton to make
plncushions, which ho sold to tho sum-
mer visitors, young boy, nicely dress
Ell and about his own age, appeared
upon the sceno and scattered, with o
vigorous kick, tho accumulated shells.
Benton gathered up his treasures, and
placing them again i'll q pile warned tho
Intruder that if hc repeated tho trick ho
would give him "good licking"
The kick was repeated with even moro
vigor than before, and tho shells were
sent flying i'll every direction. Truo to
his word, the poor boy'' soundly
thrashcd tho stranger. 1t was close
contest at first, Us tho lads wcro quito
evenly matched, but the more fully de-
velopcd strength of Benton finally
brought him Off victorious.
Just as tho melee was over Il gcntlo-
man and lady approached, and tho for
mer said: "You did quito right, young
man. We have seen tho whole transac-
ton. This boy is our son, but no was
the aggressor and received tho thrashing
he well meritcd." A humber of ques-
tions were asked tho lad as to himself
and his family. The replies told the
boys lifo, how the death of his parents
had brought poverty to himself and his
brothers and sisters
"This is the Queen, said tho gentle
man, who was mono other than Prince
Albert, "and tho young man to whom
you administered such merited whip-
ping is the Prince Of Wales.'' Turning
TO the prince, no continued: "You must
send his young man to school and pay
Cor his tuition out of your own pocket
money. That cannot add to your punish
mcnt, but cGn benefit this poor lad with
whom you picked such an uncalled for
quarrel"
Thus it was that Tom Benton met tho
queen Of England. Flo was sent to O
school about midway between Portland
and Dover. After completing his studies
there no was taken into her majesty s
service and remained there his entire
life. Between Benton and the Prince of
Wales there was strong bond of friend
ship, such as could exist between truo
manly men. New York Herald.

Here is q dog story by q Putnam
chronicler: Zone Of tho most interest
ing and at the same time truthful dog
stories we have heard for some time is
that told by Victor Pcloquin, who keeps
a confectionery store OH Bridge street.
Last winter he went to Canada and
brought back with him little black
and tan dog, the gift of his father. All
went well for about u month, when he
had occasion to reprove him for some
trivial offcnse, telling him i'll French to
go home. Hc saw no more of his dog
and was greatly surprised recently to
receive a letter from his father in Can
ada, informing him that the dog had
returned. lie was three months in max
ing the journey. Hartford Courant.
