The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1902-10-29

est with an educational force of ninety /
nine teachers, ninety-two of whom as
sembled in our picturesque little city |
last week to attend the annual teachers |
institute of Forest county. The weather |
was delightful and added not little to |
the enjoyment of the happy guests and |
visitors who seemed to enjoy all the /
beauties Nature has bequeathed to her
children of the Allegheny valley. The /
cItizens of Tionesta were likewise pleased |
to welcome to their midst a representa-
tive class of people, upon whose faithful |
ness largely depends the destiny of our |
Republic, and also the distinguished |
gentlemen Who came to help the teachers |
OF Forest cou lty to higher and broader |
ideals and conceptions of a noble calling. |
The teachers of the county appreciated |
the opportunity of coming into living
touch with master minds, the first of
whom to greet them was Preston Willis
Search, Honorary Fellow in Clark Uni
versity, Worcester, Mass.
AS DR.. Search stood before his audience
of teachers they beheld tall gentleman,
with clear blue eyes, gray hair, and dig
nitied, majestic presence. He compli-
mented his audience by seeming to be-
lieve that he was in the presence of
friends, who fully appreciated him, and
who we're in full sympathy with him. In
a most masterly and fascinating manner
he brought the teachers face to face with
the living problem of childhood and
youth, and the master spirits who have
struggled with united minds and with
sublime self-denial in their devotion to
the higher Improvement of our race. The
cultivated manhood of DR.. Search has
been liberalized by extensive and obser.
want travel both at home and abroad, and
during the week he frequently drew the
curtain aside aud gave us glimpses into
historic points OF interest in Europe. On
Thursday evening he presented Music
in the Fatherland" to an appreciative
audience, with such clear aud yiyied de-
scription and Interpretation, as to make
his lecture a great educational uplift.
On Monday evening, Prof. d. c. Muir
ply, Phi. D., delivered an able lecture on
"Womanhood in History" His contrasts
and glmpses into the social conditions of
womanhood we're delightfully."- presented
and his remarks closed amid the cheers
OF the audience. On Tuesday DR.. Mur-
ply had hut to give his first address to
demonstrate the fact that friend of the
grew popular rapidly, and it was with
profound regret to the teachers that he
was Obliged to leave, Wednesday even
ing, for his work in the Slippery Rock
State Normal school, where he has been
Superintendent of the training depart
ment for tho past II years.
Another, who was not a stranger to the
teachers of Forest county, was Prof. w.
| A. Beer, of Callensburg, Pa, who spent
the entire week among us, bringinging
l to the teachers new inspiration for better
work and greater love for good ltera-
! ture.
And "last, but not least of all who
came, was Prof. ]. IL. Kurtz, Of Chicago,
who was director OF music during the in
stitute. The people of Tionesta, as well
as the nemb bers of the institute, have con-
sidered themselves fortunate in having a
gentleman so proficient in his art, to
come among them.
For the coming two weeks Prof Kurtz
will instruct the pupils of the Tionesta
schools, work that will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the patrons of the
schools.
On Wednesday evening the annual re-
union of the Clarion State Normal stu
dents was held in W. r. C. headquarters
At the close of the delightful evening, the
Alumni met, and after transacting some
matters of business, enthusiastically
adopted resolutions highly commenda,
tory of the Clarion Normal and its ef.
ficent management.
