TEACHERS IN SESSION.
North Dickinson Meeting Held at
Manchester Saturday.


The meeting Of the teachers Of
north Dickinson at Manchester last
Saturday was one Of the best ever
held. There was fair attendance
and more interest was manifested BY
the patrons than in any previous
meeting. The musical features on the
program were greatly admired by the
visiting teachers.
Owing to the uniavorable weather
and bad roads the teachers were late
In arriving and the morning program
was postponed until 1850 p. m. The
meeting was opened by President
Frey. Several Of the teachers who
had places on the program were not
present, but it took all the remaining
time to hear those in attendance. J.
A. Minicke presented some good ideas
on the teaching Of spelling and his
paper interested the teachers as much
as any presented. Mrs. z. U. Wise
had a good paper on primary work
and spoke at some length Of the pro-
gress Of kindergartens in the larger
cities. In the absence of Mr.. Dietz.
Pres. Frey gave a short talk on psy-
chology. Miss Emma Martin talked
in an interesting way on human pro-
gress, This was followed by query
box, conducted by the chairman.
This was one of the best features of
the meeting. The afternoon meeting
was closed with music.
The teachers were entertained by
the hospitable people Of Manchester.
The evening program was presented
by the scholars, teachers and patrons
OF Manchester and immediate vicinity.
1t consisted Of music, Rotations, es.
says, etc. F. W. Morse of Manches-
ter presented an excellent paper on
"Uniformity and Ownership Of Text
Books" and the other side Of the
question was ably presented by G. +.
Waters. A debate on the subject.
"Resolved, that U. S. should send
military aid to the Cubans" was one
OF the features Of the evening pro-
gram, The program concluded with
two comic quartettes, which we're
much enjoyed. IS

WILL TRY SPRING WHEAT.
Dickinson Farmers Think the Old
Grain Nav Paw.

A revival of the old time practice of
sowing spring wheat will be seen in
this county this spring. For many
years practically none has been sown
here, owing to deterioration Of the
seed and because of some disastrous
failures. I he farmers however think
with new seed 1t may pay again, es-
pecially as the country trade of the
south demands q soft wheat flour.
The new milling machinery handles
the spring wheat much better than
did the old and several farmers will
experiment on the grain this spring.

DEcREplT ToMBsToNEs.



On Croton Point, jutting picturesque
ly into the Hudson river, there Is GEM
etery with singular purpose. 1t Is q
rescue mission for aged and deoayed
gravestones. The modern cemetery
usually refuses admittance to these
lettering tombstones, because they will
not look pretty alongside the new mon
'lments. In the Manor cemetery every
grave marker can hold high its head, no
matter how poor It's design or how
Weather-bea'en Its appearance. 1t will
be fully the social equal of It's neighbor.
Here 1t can spend the rest Of its days
until time and the elements cause 1t to
join the handful Of dust It commence
rates.
For bodies can be buried here, too,
either originally or by transfer from
some old graveyard which the living
tllrong demands for Its uses. A short
distance off Is the Van Cortland manor
house, the only mansion Of lis kind
which is occupied by the direct do
scendants OF Its first owner Here live
James Stevenson Van Cortlandt and
his sister, removed by "three or four
greats and grands' from Stephanus
Van Cortlandt, the builder,of the house.
His body and that of his wife were
buried somewhere within the ten acres
of the present cemetery, but the loca-
ton of the graves Is unknown.
On the edge of the land Just taken is
the old burial ground of the manor, con-
tanning 40 or 50 bodies. Here lie Pierre
Van Cortlandt, once lieutenant gov.
ernor Of New York, and his wife johann
ma. He died in ia, aged o., and she in
1908, aged 81. Here, too, Is their son,
Gen. Philip Van Cortlandt, who died in
1881, having distinguished himself in
the revolution. Many of the Clintons,
Beekmans, Van Wycks and others re-
lated to the Van Cortlandts sleep in this
little plot.
So the spot is historic, and the decrep.
it tombstones from other Westchester
will find congenal company
here. To these grounds should be taken
all the battered headstones OF St. Johns
cemetery in Hudson street, New York,
were there anyone sufficiently interest
I'd In the dead to do the work.
Room for the dead is nearly as hard to
find as room for the livirg. Cemeteries
ire exempt from taxes, and super
'isors are 10Th to consent to set
ling aside ground for such pir.
POSES, because the tax list Is de-
creased thereby. In the Manor cemetery
here are nearly 1000 lots, and 1t is be-
ieved thatthis will be room enough for
rev burials and removals for some
ime. In the future II may be that the
pounds will be extended.
In the center OF the cemetery IL Is
to build a G. A. r. monument,
md Pierre Van Cortlandt Post has
'harge OF the project. So here will sleep
olders of many wars, founders Of
many first families and the dead from
1any abandoned grayeyards. In the
midst of all the old tombstones will tell
u the makers of the past, nor need to
ear another transplanting.-N. Y.
