MORTON NEWTON.
Editor Of the T1lronAsl.

e-~-~~r' - s~sS =
The schools OF Harrison coun'
ty are to be congratulated over
the prospect of securing this
gentleman for their next County
Superintendent. Personal ac.
quaintance with him as . student
in our classes for the past six
years, and as teacher in the
county schools, has afforded an
excellent opportunity to Judge as
TO his merits and we can say
without hesitation. that Mr.
Newton possesses superior quail
ties for a superintendent of pub
lie schools. He Is q self.made
man in the very best sense and
one of whom Harrison county
may we'll be proud. Born and
reared IN q farm home among the
hills, where stern necessity com
PEELED him to labor for all he
had /; and yet with an ambition
for knowledge that urged him on
against all obstacles, he has
worked his way, slowly but sure.
ly, mp through the public school
to the position of teacher; where
his success for nine years in that
profession has been quite re.
markable. Then, with all the
phases of his brave struggle:
working his way through all
these years Of college life and
training, we are very familiar ;
and therefore take great pleasure
in presenting this testimonial of
his excellent qualities for the
work before him.
In the first place, Mr.. Newton
has high and conscientious ideals
of the sacredness of the teachers
calling. Many times in the years
when ne had no thought of being
called to lead in the educational
movements Of our county, have
we listened to his words, in our
students meetings. that revealed
these high ideals. He is in love
with his profession; and there.
fore can never look upon It as .
lmera max shift on stepping
stone, simply to 1ltts him lstc
some higher position. His am.
billions are not the ambitions Ct .
politician who would seek the Of.
fee merely for political purposes
Of his own but it is his ambition
to so magnify the sacred Office Of
educator, as to become q power
for the uplifting of men. Those
who know him best can testify
to these things.
Again, Mr.. Newlon's quiet,
transformations ways his sound
good sense his practical plans
his studious habits. good scholar.
ship, snd his progressive ideas
give him special fitness for thi.
work. When you add to these
the elements of high spiritual at
tainments as an active. steadfast,
Christian man who will be q
worthy example for the youth in
all our schools, it would seem
that more suitable man would
be hard to find.
Again, / say: THE county is
to be congratulated" upon having
such q candidate.

President Salem College.

Reception on New Years Day-Con-
cert in the Evening-Secretary's

Honolulu, II. l., Dec. /, 1898.
Report of the General Secretary for
November, 1898:
Sixteen new applications for mem
bership have been filled out and the
receipts for the same were $144.50. be-
ing a small increase over the receipts
from the same source for this month
last year.
In accordance with the plan of the
International Association. November
18th to 18th was observed as a week
of prayer, with special services as
shown by the report of the Devotion
al Committee. The collection for the
international committee amounted to
twenty dollars.
With the breaking up of the camp
of the New York regiment the work
of that department was ended The
tent has been brought to the Associa-
ton building and stored. The build
ing is yet at the site of old Camp Nc
Kinley, with the chairs. benches, ia
bles, etc. This will probably need to
be removed very soon.
1t was decided to hold the usual re-
ception to young men on New Years
day. president Weldon was empow-
cred TO appoint committees for the
purpose. \ concert will be given on
the evening of the same day. Wray
Taylor will be given charge of the
program.
There was considerable discussion
on the disposition of property at Camp
Mckinley belonging to the associa-
ton. In its present location there is
hardly use for the house erected
some months ago for the benefit of
the New York regiment In view of
the fact that the camp may again he
occupied by troops it was decided to
arrange to have the house remain
where it IS for the present.
The treasurer reported that receipts
from various sources for the month
had been S743.SO. Expenditures had
been S742.34, leaving a balance on hand
of S1.46. Annual taxes, amounting to
1925, had been paid.
