He Don't Think of Ii.

G. NJ. Mcdonald, Esq, one OF Reyn-
oldsville's young attorneys, was in town
on Tuesday. We understand Mr.. Nc
Donald contemplates locating at this
place in the near future, provided he
can make suitable arrangements.
The above appeared in the New Beth
lehem items to Grit last week. We
have been requested by Lawyer McDon-
aid to say that the above is false
statement, with the exceptions that he
was in New Bethlehem on Tuesday.
He came to Reynoldsville to stay and
has not changed his mind, therefore
he does not contemplate locating in
another town.

Educational Association.

The regular meeting OF the Educa-
tional Association was held in the
school building Saturday evening and
several important subjects considered.
"Second Year Number Work" was
discussed by Mr.. Postlewait, Mr. Mitch
ell, Prof. Doanc and Prof. Hawthorne.
The subject of "School Incentives"
was opened by Miss Butler. All incen-
tives are either natural or artificial.
Artificial incentives, prize giving and
per cent. marking are injurious; natur-
al incentives, praise, interest and de-
sire to achieve good character are bene-
fetal.
In this connection Mr.. Mitchell spoke
of the influence of the teacher, as he Is
the child's ideal, the pupil will en-.
deavor to become like him. He also
spoke favorably of busy work and per
cent. marking. Asan argument against
the per cent. system Prof. Doane gave
his experience with a class of young
ladies and gentlemen whom he was ex-
amining for the first. Having request
ed them to receive no assistance he
asked that no one having received help
should give in paper. From the class
of fifteen he received three papers.
The class had been trained in dishon-
esty by the per cent. system, and were
indignant because the papers were not
accepted. The honest pupil may re-
ceive the low grade while the dishonest
one receives the high grade. The gen.
eral sentiment was against the system.
Messrs. Hawthorne, Mitchell and
Dempsey rendered a musical selection
entitled "Where you see the Angels
Stand" A reading, "The Rhine OF ye
Ancient School-master, was given by
Miss Whitmore. Following this was q
double quartette.
''History and the Teachers Prepara-
tion for Teaching II" was discussed by
Mr.. Postlewaite. Before beginning Its
study the subject should be read con.
tinuously and be understood by the
pupil. When studied, history should
not be memorized in the words OF the
book, II the facts are related they ap
peal to reason. In order to teach his
tory the teacher must know the subject
thoroughly and not depend upon the
textbook.
The subjects in the question box were
"What influence has the teachers ap
| pearance?" "How determine the stand
ing of pupils of an ungraded school whel
said school is to be graded% "Whs
textbooks are needed by pupil min,
years old?" ITO what extent SHOULD
history and geography be oommitted9
To this last question Prof. Hawthorne'
answer was an emphatic mot at ALL"

Perry Brink Dead.

Perry Brink, we'll known all over
Jefferson county, died at his home near
Horatio last Thursday of dropsy, aged
seventy-four years, and was buried in
Clayville cemetery on Sunday. During
the palmy rafting days, when the boys
were ''sore given to revel and ungodly
glee," and fighting was one of the
principal diversions, Perry Brink was
regarded as tower OF strength. He
never melted quarrel or gave offence
to anybody, but when the affair was.
started he always took hand for his,
friends, and was usually worth dozen
ordinary men. Intellectually and
morally, however, he was not potent
force, and in worldly affairs he was not
thrifty. But these things are not for
us to discuss. He is gone, and peace
to his es.-Punxsutawney Spirit.
Perry Brink was resident of Reyn-
oldsyille few years ago.

THE fact above all others distinguish.
ing the late Baron Hirsch among the
rich men of this and all other ages is
that he was almost the only possessor
of an immense self-acquired fortune
who deliberately undertook to dis.
tribute the bulk of his wealth among
the needy while he yet lived. Andrew
Carnegie is the only other man who is
acting on the same policy. The baron
left property amounting, according to
reliable estimates, to about $lO5 OOO,-
400. When about eight years ago, he
became a distributor instead of an ac.
cumulator of wealth, he was probably
worth Slb0.000.000.
