A Successful School,

We call the attention of our readers
to one of the most popular and success
full educational institutions in the state,
the state normal school located at East
Stroudsburg, Monroe county, on the
main line of the D. l.. & w. Railroad.
This institution stands in the front rank
of normal schools. 1t is closing the
ninth year of its existence under the
most flatterng success.
The school has had most phenomenal
growth, and has from the first maintain
ed very conspicuous place among the
educational institutions of the state. 1t
has an alumni of over seven hundred, +,
many Of whom are leaders in their pro-
fessions. A large recitation building is
being erected which will give additional
class room Accommodations for the
growing demands of the school.
The school has its own electric light
plant and in every respect is up-to-date.
Indeed it is one Of the most homelike
schools in the country. A more beauti-
full and healthful spot could not well be
found for a school than that of the East
StroudSburg state normal school. AL
ready pupils are engaging rooms for the
fall term which will open on the sth of
September In another column will be
found particulars of this institution.

CHOICE MISCELLANY

Canned Goods In the Southwest.
The southwesterner gets his living
from tin cans. There surely never was
such Il region for canned vegetables,
canned meat, canned fruit, canned
soup, canned milk, canned cheese.
Empty tin cans form charmed circle
about every southwestern town and
camp. Even where he can proftably
and easily produce his own food the
SouthWesterner seeTp to prefer to raise
some exclusive crop, sell his product
and buy canned goods. 1t is amusing
enough to discover that the cattle
rancher, though Il thousand cows come
up to water at his~tanks every day or
two, will vet serve condensed milk
from cans that came from New Jersey;
that his beef bears the mark of Kansas
City; that even his poultry and eggs
are imported at enormous prices from
Kansas. His butter also comes canned.
If it We're not for the patient Chinese
gardener, even the best irrigated val
leys would be without fresh yegeta-
bles. But if the southwesterner fails in
garden making he does delight in flow
ers, vines and shade trees. They re-
lieve the monotony of the gray desert
and link him with his old green home
in the east. He will let his fields go
thirsty in time of drought before he
will allow the rosebushes and the pep
per trees in his front yard to suffer.
Indeed so industrious has he been in
surrounding himself with shade and
verdure that he is open to criticism for
overriding the NATTER overcrowding his
small grounds. An irrigated valley
town in blossom is marvel long to be
remembered.-Ray Stanward Baker in
May Century.

The latest Canadian order in council
is to forbid japanese and Chinese cut
ting shingle bolts or logs from the
crown lands. This means that hun
dreds of japanese will be driven into
the United States, as they were almost
exclusively employed. The laws are
also being passed against Chinese, and,
although they are arriving by hundreds
on every ship and the Canadian gov
ernment gets 500 q head, the China
men find that nearly all avenues are
blocked in the way of making living
in Canada, so they walk into the Unit
ed States, Canada getting the tax and
Washington state getting the China
men. The inadequate United States
immigration staff cannot prevent the
Cinnamon from crossing the line while
white men who smuggle them over are
getting rich at $100 head.

Loyal Young Citizens.

Some years ago nearly thousand
children of Montclair, n. j., signed the
following promise:
"We, the undersigned, agree to work
together to make Montclair a happier
place in which to live by trying to re-
move everything which would make it
less healthful or less beautiful and by
adding anything we can which makes
it more heathful or more beautiful"
These young people were divided into
twenty-four societies, each meeting
once a month. At these meetings re-
ports were given as to what the mem
bers We're doing and suggestions of
new plans made. Essays were written
upon the Importance of cleaning the
streets, bird life and other similar top
les, for the best of which prizes were
offered. The result was that the streets
We're free from waste paper and other
loose objects. flower beds were laid out
on the school grounds and vines plant
ed against the buildings. In an Ohio
city society of boys and girls agreed
not to throw paper or other refuse on
the streets, and each boy agreed to
keep the sidewalk in front of his own
door clean.
This sort of work is open to the boys
of every town in America.

How She stops "a Car.

"Did you ever notice." said the man
who had observed things in general
until it had become chronic, chow the
different classes of women attract the
attention of street car conductors when
they wish to get Off the car and the
conductor has his back turned?
"a young woman who has not been
city bred and who is retiring in dispo-
sition will ride two blocks out of her
way before she will consent to attract
attention to herself by creating a dis
turbance. She will simply wait until
the conductor looks around. Another
woman, more self reliant, would calm
ly ring the bell and step off.
"Then there is the clinging vine type
Of woman, who always appeals to the
man sitting nearest her. The matron
who has self possession will invariably
speak loud enough for the conductor to
hear and yet retain her dignity. The
masculine woman will whistle."-New

England alone has twice as many
cotton spindles as there are in this
country, but this will assuredly be
changed in the long run, and the spin
ming of the American crop will be done
at home. The crop, however, increases
faster than the home spindles, and it
will be years before we can drive out
of this or that market the goods of for
eign spinners. The task calls for the
best efforts of New England as well
as of southern manufacturers. Ameri-
can mills should pull together. The
south is content to spin and to weave
the coarser goods, and New England
has wide field in the making of the

Paint and Soap Mines.

A natural soap mine and paint mine
are two of the latest mineral discov-
cries in northwest Canada. Several
soda lakes have been found in the foot
hills near Ashcroft, B. c. Their bot
toms and shores are incrusted with a
natural washing compound containing
boraX and soda. No two analyses agree
exactly as to the composition of the
material. A New York analysis gives
26 per cent borax, while q Montreal
chemist from the same sample gives
16 per cent borax. Tests prove the
substance to be equal to the washing
powders in common use. Trials by
blacksmiths and farm workmen show
that it will remove grease and dirt bet
ter than soap. A syndicate of British
Columbia men has been formed to put
the product on the market. About 2T5
tons of the compound have been cut
and taken out of the lake. 1t is ham
died precisely as ice is handled. The
blocks are more than nine inches in
thickness, are sawed into pieces of fif-
teen and eighteen inches and weigh fif-
ty pounds each.

their collieries from drowning out. In

if the firm carried out its intention they

desired effect, and the millionaire

What Education Will Do.

e. Benjamin Andrews in June Success.
An examination of the educational
work going on in the United States will
reveal two dominant ideals shaping the
results of that work, the one moral,
tending to the development of altruism
or public spirit, the other practical,
tending to promote human efficiency.
The scrupes adverted to touching the
outcome OF modern education could not
arise were men aware of the extent to
which these ideals now pervade Ameri-
can education yet these ideals impress
themselves more and more, rendering
education an enrichment of life and at
the same time a preparation for life in
its most practical aspects.
Public schools have not yet attempted
regular lessons in morality, because the
simplest moral teaching has been
thought to involve dogmas. Protest
ants have feared that, if Catholic
teacher should seek Systematically to
teach her pupils self-restraiut, purity,
generosity, charity, truthfulness, and
so on, the lessons would reach down
into religious doctrine, and that some of
her pupils would turn Catholics.
Catholics, on the other hand, have
trembled lest, if Presbyterian or a
Lutheran teacher, as part of the school
work, should PROFOUND to her pupils
any precepts, however rudimentary, in
personal honor and uprightness, youth
brought up in the ancient church would
be in danger of espousing such teach
er's faith This fear is now seen to be
groundloss. For all practical purposes
morality can be taught without dipping
into religion, and all sects are becoming
aware of this.
Public sentiment would sanction it,
should schools at once begin systematic
ally to inculcate all such virtues as
cleanliness in speech and thought,
thrift, temperance, fortitude, persever-
ance, veracity, the rights and laws Of
property, public spirit, love of country,
and regard for parents, the aged, the
feeble, the unfortunate and brutes. All
parents wish to have their children
schoolsd in these vastly important
2 duties, provided the teaching is un-
prejudiced. The subjects mentioned
can be so taught in school that no Cath
olic, Protestant, Jew, or unbeiever will
dislike the teaching or fear its effect on
dogmas, church, life, or fealty.
Moral education is one of the splendid
new tasks which the twentieth century
school will achieve. 1t will teach a
most useful code of practical morality,
fastening upon the child, at the very
outset of his career the principles cal
culated to make good men and citizens.
Then shall the school, already influen-
tial morally in most praiseworthy de-
gree, realize its ideal as moral and
social power, working limitess and un-
precedented good to the state.

Government Autograph Collection.
Uncle Sam Is not especially interest
ed in autographs, but in his big library
at Washington he has a good many
letters and papers signed by some of
his most distinguished nephews. All
these manuscripts, which were not
well cared for until a few years ago,
are now being intelligently classified
and preserved. Harper's Weekly says
there are twenty-five thousand docu-
ments of Importance.
The Washington papers are the most
valuable. They include documents
written and received by the first Presi-
dent, the reports from the secret SER
vice agents during the Revolution, let.
ters from Rochambeau and state pa
pers.
The John Paul Jones papers fill eight
volumes of the special kind OF letter

being arranged. There are thirty-fve
volumes containing the proceedings OF
the commission formed for inquiring
into the losses, services and claims of
American loyalists. Another interest

The Marrying Age.

The marrying age, according to sta
tistics, is steadily advancing. This
accounts. perhaps, for another fact,
that women are beginning to look
younger and more girlish in the shady
twenties and the early thirties than
they used to do. Twenty-Five years
ago a woman of 80 who was unmarried
would have been regarded as hopeless
Id maid. Now she is quite q girl at
that age and her marriage is still
thought of. II We continue to grow
old in this leisurely fashion the very
name "old maid" will disappear from
our vocabulary, if indeed it has not
done so already.
