COL. HIGG0NS0N
Will Tell Of Anti-SlaverY Agitation
Before the War.

There are very few men living today
who took an active part in the great
anti slavery agitation preceding the
Civil war. One of the most noted sur
vivors of that period is Col. Thomas
Wentworth Higginson, the noted essay
ist and historian Of Boston. He, to.
gether, with Wendall Phillips and
Theodore Parker formed the noted
trio, who were arrested in Boston dur
ing the riot incident to the rendition of
Burns, fugitive slave. A defect in
the indictment released them from jail
and they were never re-arrested. Col.
Higginson was the colonel Of the
first colored regiment that enlisted
under the flag, from North Carolina,
He has constantly bee active as
lecturer and writer and is well known
on both sides the Atlantic for his
charming essays on historical and lit
erary topics. He will deliver the third
number of the College Lecture Course
on Wednesday evening, January 16.
His subject .s American Oratory and
Orators" This lecture is culled from
his series of Lowell lectures, delivered
in Boston some years ago. 1t is full
of personal "reminiscences of our great
orators, such as Phillips, Lincoln,
Sumner, Garrison and others who
made great with oloquence the criti'
cal period OF American history. 1t is
only by good fortune that Col. Hig-
glnson has been intercepted in Akron,
on his way from a western journey,
and the citizens should avail them
selves of this favored opportunity to
hear one of the great participants in
the memorable struggle for liberty.

we elected poor teacher 1t was be-
cause we had no help from the Super
intendent. Last spring, the committee
worked hard and the Superintendent
refused to assist us in making a sc.
lection Of teachers.
DR.. Millikin stated that 80 new
teachers had been employed and II
would not be surprising II few mis-
takes had been made. However,"
said DR.. M'llikin, Akron has 1870
teachers and there Is not a city in
Ohio that can show a better corps of
instructors"
DR.. Reed claimed the right to reply
to Messrs. Frese and Millikin, but
President Otis declared hi mout Of
order. Dr. Reed took exception to the
ruling, but the chair was firm and
shut off further speechmaking.
After adjournment the members in
dulged in an informal discussion and
for q few moments it threatened to
disturb the night school in session in
the uppart of the building.
SUPERINTENDENTS REMARKS.
In presenting the course Of study,
Superintendent Hotchkiss said:
This course of study recognizes
the fact that the individual is educated
by his environments and that an edu.
cation enables the one having it to ap-
propriate his environment for the pur-
pose of every part Of his three-fold
nature. This course has, therefore,
incorporated into every terms work,
studies representing every kind Of en-
vironment.
"These studies cover four fields.
foreign language; English, including
history, natural science; mathematics
One purpose of the High school is
to enable the pupil to find himself; in
other words, to learn what his tastes
and interests are, and what he ought
to follow as life-work. The course
ought to present such subjects of stu
dy that its pursuits will result in a
well-rounded development of the pow
ers of the one taking it. The course
should be such as to add to the hap
piness of those taking it, both in
school and through life. The studies
taken in school should, so far as posi-
BILE, have utilitarian value. The
course should instill such a love of
learning that pupils will contine to
study after leaving school,"

Physicians Figure 1t Out
This Way.
SAYS Its Better to be Real ,
Downright III,
Than lust Gruntn1 'R,und--Grip Is
Almost Epidemic.

There are a great many people In
Akron who imagine they have the
grip" said a well known physician to
a reporter for the Democrat today.
"In a majority of cases these people
are suffering from the old fashioned
ague. Nothing more or nothing less.
In some instances a hard cold is com
bined with the trouble. / do not be-
lieve that grip is epidemic in this city"
Another local physician disagreed
with the one quoted above. He said
there were many cases in the city al
though he also held to the opinion that
ague was often pronounced grip. He
said:
1--WE are becoming so accustomed to
expect the appearance Of grip at this
season that it is no surprise to learn
that it is here. Fortunately, however,
its type is quite mild and the acute
attacks of the disease are of short dur
alton.
"It commences, as usual, with catarr-
bal symptoms. aching Of the limbs,
marked lassitude, slight rise of
temperature. So far the upper air pas
sages are mainly affected. The pa
tient, as rule, is not confined to bis
room for more than two or three days,
but when he gets up and around is
apt to be annoyed for a week or more
with troublesome and dry cough. In
exceptional cases the febrile phenome-
ma have lasted for eight OF ten days
continuously and have in some respects

ing typhoid.
For the most part the convalescent
patients are apt to be troubled for a
considerable period with weakness,
general want of physical tone and al
toge ther are very much out Of sorts.
1t is then that complications are apt
to show themselves after indiscretions
in diet or exposure to inclemencies of
the weather. Now is the time to be
careful of "a cold" The latter is
very apt during the winter months to
invite pneumonia, but especially so
while influenza is prevalent. Paradox
ical as it may appear, the light attacks
of grip are oftentimes more dangerous
than the severe ones, as in the former
instances the patients are most apt to
be careless of themselves during tile
weak physical conditions that follow"

by two conditions, namely, good text
books and good corps of teachers.
This leads me to say that the Super
intendent should recommend the
course of study, text books and
teachers to be hired I believe he is
thousand times better qualified to
do these things than any committee.
/ know this Board has made serious
mistakes in hiring teachers. 1t is true
that we have some good teachers, yet
us a corps, our teachers do not COM
pare with those employed two years
or even a year ago. Many of them
have had no special training and
possess no adaptability for their work.
Teaching is just as much profes-
sion as preaching the gospel or prac-
ticing law or medicine. Many Of our
teachers will make good instructors
in time. but do we want our children
to suffer loss they can never regain,
! that these teachers may learn how to
! teach school.
Il always held that my children
should go to the public schools as
soon as they reached the proper age,
that they might meet the children Of
the world and learn to discriminate
between right and wrong. If is
policy continues, / must change my
mind. During the last two years a
number Of pupils have been sent to
school elsewhere and recently parents
have come to me and are to.
day hesitating about sending their
children to the public schoolsi
Outside of matrimony, there are three
reasons why teachers leave our
schools. The first is the salary ques.
ton, which we may not be able to
control The second Is the fact that
jthis Board does not recognize merit
and the third is because the Board
of Examiners do not recognize first
class diplomas as a cause for granting
a certificate. Many states do this and
many examining boards do so. 1t has
been said that this method is contrary
to the State law. Tho law does not
state the manner of the examination
and does say that the Board shall be
!, satisfied of the applicants ability tt
teach. What better satisfaction dc
! we want than high diploma! Oul

work.

Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-01-10

At special meeting of the Board
of Education Wednesday night some
uncomplimentary remarks were made
concerning the Akron schools.
1t was stated that many parents
have withdrawn their children from
the schools and others are thinking
Of doing so 1t was claimed that the
reason for this action is due to the.
fact that many incompetent teachers
are employed in the Akron schools.
Other members of the Board say
they have heard of no such trouble
and believe that the schools were
never in better condition. They say
that all of the buildings are crowded
and there is scarcely room to ac-
commodate the pupils.
The leader in the discussion was
Dr. f. @. Reed and the adoption Of
a course Of study for the High school
gave him a chance to set forth his
opinion in no uncertain language.
DR.. Reed is chairman of the course
of study committee and when Presi-
dent Otis called for the report, the
chairman asked Supt. Hotchkiss to
present it
After the Superintendent had fin
ished, Mr.. Otis instructed the clerk to
call the roll. DR.. Reed was upon his
feet in an instant and suggested that
there should be motion to adopt.
He thereupon moved the adoption of
the report and began his speech. In
part he spoke as follows:
II am much pleased with the re-
port. This course of study has been
carefully prepared and while we dc
not expect that it is infallible, we
believe that with the Superintendent
recommendation from time to time as

ber of the Board, manual train

cial course have been added to the
curriculum. l would rather a pupi
would spend four years in the Higl
school, II necessary, studying only the
common branches if by that mean:
only he could learn to do simple
problem in life or write an application
for position which would be fire,
from errors.
II believe this Board pays too mucl
attention to external things, and no
enough to the educational side o.
this great school question. While
like to see beautiful buildings, fin
grounds, fences and flowers, l pre-

Gated and as these men worked in the
front building, which was not wrecked,
it is thought that they are at their
homes. The mems addresses are not

some time before they are located.
Only two bodies were found during
the day. Both of them were terribly
mangled. Employees of the institution
