State Teachers Licenses Must Not lie DIS
credited by County superintendent

JACKsoN. August IS, 1900.
To County Superintendents OF Educatioh'
Complaint has been made to the state
board of education that certain county
superintendents are making arbitrary
determinations in favor of first grade
licenses issued by the county boagd
against those issued by the state board
Of examiners by paying eschers hold
ing such State licenses from ten to
fifteen dollars per month less than II
they held a county license.
There is no authority in aw for sucn
a manifestation of disrespect for the
State license, and superintendent
abuse the discretion conferred upon
them by law whenever they make such
distinction.
It must be clear, without argument
that the purpose of a State license is &c
stimulate aspiration and to encourage
the highest degree Of general pro
fciency and competency in the practl
cal operation of that branch OF GU
public school system. A State licens'
should be a prize of honor, and it
possessor entitled to the highest con
sideration in that particular, and, al
things being equal, reasonably SC
should have compensation accordingly
We are not unmindful Of a prelude
existing in some quarters against IN
issuance of State licenses, yet it mu'
not be forgotten that the law so pr
vides, and its ministers are pledged
comply with and enforce it in a fai
reasonable and just spirit to the best
their judgment and ability.
We regret that the complaints befo
us come from ladies who hold Sta
licenses as the result and the reHa
of long and arduous toll and who keen
feel disappointment when they lea
that what was believed to be an e
dence of distinction is in fact a bad
OF d~iscredit.
1t is not the purpose of the Sta
board to trespass in any degree up
the authority especially conferred up
the county superintendent in tixi
salaries, but in obedience to the
recurring this board to regulate
matters arising in the practical adm

MRS. N. P. MOORE.

The announcement OF the death of
.,,minta, the estimable wife of N.
p Moore, which occurred at Buck.
horn. on Tuesday of last week,
although momentarily expected, as
che was known to have been crit
;caly i'll, was received with keen
sorrow by the entire nelghbor-
hood, and was a shock to the family,
from which they will not soon recover.
She was i'll only comparatively short
time. but the ailment was of such a
nature that admitted of little hope
from the very first. Three weeks
preyious to her death she was taken
with stroke of paralysis, winch, to-
gether with her advanced years, rem.
dered her almost helpless. A few
DAYS later a more severe stroke VS.
tied her, and she continued to grow
worse until death claimed her.
Mrs. Moore's maiden name was
Kline. She was born in Orange
township, this county, December "a,
1895. Her father was Abraham
Kline, a pioneer resident Of that
township.
Mrs. Moore was a kind-hearted
woman, possessed of a pleasant dis
position, and in her gentle manner
made herself admired by all with
whom she came in contact. Her life
was one of kindness and Christian
spirit, and she has bid farewell to
earth, leaving behind her many hearts
that are sad, because they know her
no more.
The family survivors are husband,
three daughters and two sons, namely:
Mrs. John Shultz, Jerseytown; Mrs.
John H. Wingert, Lewijburg; Miss
Lavina, living at home; John w., OF
Wllkes-Barre, and Charles H., who is
at present teaching school near Shell.
don, Schuylkill county. The latter
formerly resided in this town.
The funeral took place from the
saddened home on Thursday, and
was largely attended. The house
was inadequate to furnish room for
those who had come to pay their last
tribute of respect to one whom they
had loved In life. The services were
in charge of Rev. Stains, of Danville,
assisted by Rev. G. H. Hemingway,
Of this town. Interment was made
in the cemetery at New Columbia.
Mrs. Moore's age was "a years
and &c months.

a bunch of bright, new jokes, and
the latest coon songs and ballads will
be introduced, and an oleo of upto-
date specialties. The date. we un-
derstand, is to be in the very near
future. The object is most worthy
one. The entertainment will be
given under the auspices of the La

YIN. O. A. NOTES.

Last Sunday afternoon Mr.. f. B.
Buckalew, Assistan. State Secretary,
gave an able address to a large audi
ence of men in the Y. M. G. A. build
ing and was listened to with much in.
terest. In the evening he spoke in
the Presbyterian church upon the
work in general which the Young
Mems Christian Association is doing
throughout this and other countries,
showing conclusively th"t this organ
lzatlon has a Di'inely appoihted place
in the world. He made a passing re-
ference to our well o, yanlzed local
ASSOCIATION in Bloomsburg and for the
sake o. the work It is doing, the pos
siblities of its future good to the
young men Of the town, he urged that
its every interest would be we'll cared
for by the citizens. Near the close of
his address he quoted Mr.. James H.
Eckels, Ex-United States Controller
and President of the Commercial
National Bank Of Chicago, whose
standing in the business world should
entitle his views to careful considera-
tion from all men of business, said re-
Gently at an Anniversary dinner OF
Chicago Association;
"The appeal which the Young
Mems Christian Association from time
to time makes to business men is not
and ought not to be regarded as an
appeal for charity. 1t is instead the
asking for an expenditure, on the part
of those to whom the request is ad-
dressed, as legitimate to the further
ance of their business enterprises as
that which is incurred for police or fire
insurance or any other layout which
has regard for the protection and pre-
servation OF their property interests.
1t is as essentially legitimate, and
yields as much in return as the very
money paid to the employee himself.
In short, it is the sum which ought to
be set apart each year as an improve
ment and betterment fund, and the
man who fails to give heed to the call
Of the Association after once being
made acquainted with its merits,
makes so grave an error as to reflect
Upon the soundness of his business
judgment"
