tute ON lne way tne OOustitutiOu
was Framed" The history Of the
United States did not begin in 1889,
but when the twelve Articles of Con-
federation we're adopted. In 1871
there was danger of 13 nations on
account of internal troubles. Here
difficulties arose. but the union SEN
timent prevailed and cemented these
ID original colonies into one COM
pact mass.

Music. Revive Us Again"
DR.. Schaeffer then spoke on the
subject of Township High Schools"
He said: You would not build
house with most excellent rooms on
the first story and elegantly fitted
OH the second story and not build
stairway. But this is the case with
our system of education. We have
our public school system and our
colleges, out the connections are not
always good. The high school must
furnish this connection.
Prof. Frank l.. Kiuuse of the
Philadelphia Pubiic Ledger. was in
troduced and showed the teachers
an 1896 map Of Pennsylvania and
told them on what terms they could
be secured

DIR. Lincoln Hulley then continued
his talk on History. Under the
twelve Articles of Confederation the
government could not be properly
re.organizcd A committee with
power to act was appointed. Mary
land and Virginia made the start
but all the colonies were finally in
vited to participate. They met at
Annapolis. Only five states were re.
presented. SO they sfterward met
in Philadelphia and adopted the
constitution that now regulates our
governmental affairs.
Music. America
DR.. Schaeffer spoke concerning
the Burrowes Memorial. Twenty
five years have elapsed since the
burial of DIR. Burrowes, the founder
of the public school system, and no
monument marks his last resting
place. 1t is fitting that the teachers
and pupils of the public schools of
Pennsylvania give their mite toward
the purchase and erection of suit
able tablet to his memory.

Language as related to Methods"
Through an extended discourse she
disclosed her superior knowledge OF
this most important subject and
gave to the teachers valuable assis-
tance in their work of developing
the minds of young children and ev-
en- those of older persons. Miss
Buckbee throws great deal of per-
sonality in her addresses and as a
lady she has no peer on the plat
form of institute instruction. She
is so thoroughly imbued with the
highest sense of lofty attainment s
that every move and accent proves
how thoroughly familiar she is with
the matter she presents for the con-
sideration of teachers.
Music. Star Spangled Banner"
DR., Hulley then continued his
talk on the Formation of the Con-
stitution." The Doctor is quite
young man of more than ordinary
ability. His stern, rigorous physical
build and his unyielding devotion
to books has rendered invaluable
service to broaden his mind and
open to his abundant resources
field of usefulness. In Il clear and
concise manner he carefully traced
the development OF the constitution
to its complete formation. 1t is
with n great deal of pleasure that
we present the portrait of this
young educator in this issue of the
PosT.
