News apers as Educators.

Newspapers are educators. That
publication that does not strive to
educate the masses is not fulfilling
its most important mission. The
press is calculated TO be Il leader OF
public opinion. Tue massive throng
OF people is clamoring for informa-
tion. lis the solemn duty of the
press TO furnish the public with read
ing material not only that will give
information, but that will develop
mental power.
The PosT i'll its endeavor t. promote
the intellectual welfare of the peo.
rle of Snyder county has been pro-
yiding for the better fitting of the
teachers. Iu the hands of the pub.
lie school teachers lies "a great power.
IL they have the proper training, the
youth will improve more rapidly.
Snyder county is not in arrears in
educational matters, but we want to
see her in the front ranks. There is
always room for advancement. We
want to see more well equipped and
better educated young men and wo-
men in Snyder county. The day is
at hand when he who would succeed
must be- educated. We do not
mean that every person must spend
six or eight years at school. but
enough time should be spent to de-
velop mental strength The edu.
cation OF every day life, too, is AN
important factor. Common sense
must prevail.
The PosT has endeavored, not only
through its columns, but by provid-
ing scholarships for persons to be
named by the readers of this paper,
to elevate the standard of education.
Already one ~ pursuing course at
the expense of the PosT. In this
issue, we offer two more scholarships
Tor worthy persons to be selected by
the readers of the Posr. To elevate
Il people you must educate them.
Imbued with this idea the PosT is
providing Normal courses to better
lit young gentlemen and young ladies
Tor the teaching profession. With
the teachers we'll prepared the COM
ing generations will not suffer. We
desire TO elevate the standard of our
public schools aud to place Mt the
disposal of public school children
the best talent possible. Wendell
Phillips said, 'The public schools
are the hope ofour country Hence
the Posr Is serving double mission
III the education of the masses. Its
columns are open for educational
topics aud it provides scholarships
for worthy persons.

incident:
A husband sat by his wife at a
revival meeting, When the peni-
tents were asked to come to the
altar, he wos asked by his wife,
Come, won't you give yourself to
God?' He shook his head and
went home.
That night she said to her hus-
band, Il saw you were affected,
| wish you had given your heart to
God"
He said, "Wife, [ cannot be a
Christian IN the business am in !"
She said, Il know that"
He was liquor dealer.
And she added, "Husband, I
want you to give up the saloon
business and give your heart to
God"
He said, "Wife, I cannot afford
it."
"Well," she said, chow much do
you clear every year on whisky?'
"WeiI," he said, my net profits
are about two thousand dollars a
year.
She asked, Husband, how long
do you reckon you will live to run
that business?'
Twenty years, in the natural
expectation Of things"
GLOW much is twice twenty
thousand dollars?"
Forty thousand dollars.
"Forty thousand dollars! Now.
husband, if you could get forty
thousand dollars in a lump would
you sell your soul to hell fox that
sum-"
He said, mo, wife! no! I'll
close out my business in the morn
ing, and will give my heart to
God right now. I would not sell
my soul for four billion dollars"

The first implement used by man for
catching fish with a line was not hook.
1t was a pointed piece of bone or flint,
a simple baitholder, and the line, posi-
bly, length or SO of some dried vine or
grass, was tied to the middle of the
piece The fish swallowed the whole
bait, bone and all, and SO the first i'm
plement was what we would call gorge
hook today. In time bronze was substi-
tuted for bone, but the form Of the first
implement was retained. Untold ages
passed before tho first fishhook was
made, and. strangely enough, when a
prong was fashioned on the hook, the
prong turned outward and not inward.

A gentleman formerly in the service
of the United States navy married a
japanese beauty few years ago and
settled down to domestic life in the Land
Of tho Rising Sun.
Only few months ago an old chum
of his, an officer on one Of our ships of
war, went to call upon him at his home
in Nagasaki. While waiting in the room
which might correspond to the parlor in
this country he heard the prattle Of a
child in the adjoining apartment Said
the youngster:
"Who is the foreign devil that has
come to see papa?"

tleman might overhear you. Heis fel-
low countryman of your fathers. "
"Well, papa is foreign devil too. "
This incident would seem to show
that certain colloquial phrases have sur
vived the feeling of hatred for foreign
ers which the Japanese abandoned SC
many years ago. Washington Star.

Men manage the schools very absurdly
in some respects. For instance, when
teachers give scholars their monthly re-
ports they are directed by board rules TO
say, "Havc your father sign this, II he is
living; otherwise your mother" How ri
diculous that is when the mothers know
ten times as much about what their chill
dren arc doing in school as the fathersl
But the rule is natural enough. The IA
ther is the owner of the child Yes, that
Is true. Legally, the father Of any child
can give it away or apprentice 1t or offer
1t for adoption without the mothers con-
sent or even her knowledge. The Society
For the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
would probably prevent such thing, but
the law is wrong just the same. The moth
er knows most about her children, does
most for them, is best acquainted with
them, but her legal rights are less than
