Franklin Society,

DIR. Reuben A. Guild read before the
Franklin Society last evening paper
OH GA District School Two Generations
Ago"
Mr.. Guild first pictured, in a very
pleasing way, the unpainted one-story
school house of about the year 1880 de-
scribing minutely it's interior and the
exterior surroundings. here was an
annex for the infant department, but the
main room contained the ungrnded dis
trct school with its pupils from the age OF
six 10 20 years. The long vacations of
the universities thon came in the win
ter, thus affording their students an op-
portunity TO teach In the wild winter
months and they were the teachers. And
there was no hesitation in TIE discipline
maintained.
The old fundamentals of reading, writ.
ing. spelling, arithmetic, geograT by, his
tory and grammar with too, some de lama
tion, were thoroughly and definitely
taught. The esult in his opinion was that
minds then went out into the worldwith a
clear knowledge OF these fundamentals,
rather than with muddled smattering
OF the much OF recent days. The old sys-
TEN contained no forced growth OF the
mind, TO wither the physical and the i'm.
plication was made that a discif lined,
healthy mind, with unimpsired physique
could 60 out TO DO bsttle with the world
and get its own elective higher after-ed
ucation.
Dr. Guild said TINT healthy reaction
had come in and that Harvard Uniyessit,
had adopted the recommendation OF the
famous "committeo OF ten" tnat those
applicants wno failed In an examination
on the fundamentals" should be dc
| barrsd.sr
A ifteiy discussion followed the read
ing Of this pspsr, showing an unusus
interest in this subject Of propr
treatment OF growing mind, growing
both mentsliy and physically.

was a drummer named Simmons. O'Neill
was tried and convicted, but could have

10 have proven himself innocent OF the
murder he woulc hsv been compelled TO

The recent death OF Portuguese named
Porada, who at one time was noted as the
mysterious Or isoner of the Relacam prison
at Oporto, calls attention to somewhat
similar, though much more remarkable
story. Something over 20 years ago all
Europe was shocked by the details OF the
murder OF a Catholic priest who had
charge OF the diocese of Brsga, in North
Portugal.
1t was on one OF those lovely autumnal
mornings, for which Portugal Is famous,
when most of the pious portion OF the
little village OF Braga turned out in their
multi-coiored apparefand filled the mas
sive. church of the place to attend high
mass, for II was Sunday. The village
priest, as cslebrant, hsd concluded the
-pffesteEy, the resonant efgan had peaied
and The mysteries OF tie mass were being
concluded, when a young man, who,
during the devotional exercises, bad list
irssly half kneeled aud half sat In cor
uer of the church, suddenly sprang to his
feet. ana draw ing from under his scarlet
waist scarf a long, slender degger, rushed
toward the brilliant altar, where the
priest, In purple and gold, was offering
his benediction, aud shouted:
"yoa have wronged my family Under
your stol, beats craven's neart, and
will tear II out!''
The young man was livid with rage.
His lips were bloodless, and his eyes
4Iittered like q madman's. Friends
seized him and dragged him down the
ssiIe toward the street door. he raved
and shouted back:
81 will kill him yet He will oe dead
before sunset. swear on the ashes Of
my ssiuted dead, my father and sister, of
eli who are dear 10 me, that ! shall cut
his throat before sunset II have 10 crawl
into bis bedroom TO do it,"
with these terrible oatbs and threats
upon his lips he was taken out OF the
church. The man was Parada.
.No one believed Parada would carry
out his threat OF vengeance, out out OF
spirit of fun some twenty young men
snd women gathered near the priests
house that evening to see II the bosstful
fellow would make his appearance. They
we're about to 20 away when they saw
the figure of man leap from window
Of the priests house, which they oil
