Robert Emory PattisOn.

Y COMING to our city to ask
Republicans again to help
A him To the governorship OF
Republican Pennsylvania,
Robert Emory Pattison invites an in
specton of his record in that Office and
it tells against him.
He Went in twice upon waves Of Re-
publican dissension, promising in re-
turn for Republican help to purify and
regenerate III" politics of the common
wealth. Then, as now, the tenor of his
song was that he was not a partisan
but pure spirit raised FOR the occasion
TO dirruse sweetness and light. But
who does not remember with what
swift and earthly Noracity he seized
starved bellies OF his Democratic camp
followers and erect the state govern
ment into IA Democratic partisan ma
chine?
Don't misunderstood US We make
no complaint that Pattison, the Demo-
crat, used official power in the interest
of the Democracy. That is what poll

a WOLF and 1t was not fair.
Mr.. Pattson personally is an admir-
able gentleman for whom We have un-
| qualified respect, His ability and elo-
quence command our enthusiastic ad-
miration. But politically we are sorry
to have to say in the interest of truth
| that he is what the boys would call

out and caught does not ask a place

to escape the penitentary.
1t Is safe to guess that Mr.. Pattison
will tell his hearers tonight what Il
vicious state this in and how the gov
ernment of 1t reeks with filth and cor
ruption. That is one OF his specialties,
and he has been rehearsing ii so long
that he does II well. But 1t doesn' t
take a long memory to go back to the
time when Pattson himself was at
the helm. and was there any difference
then? In the officeholders, yes.
Though non-partsan when seeking
Republican votes. they were all Demo-
rrats after election. and some Of them
about as rank Democrats as grow.
The fact Of the matter was and Will
be again. IL Pattison Is again elected,
which Is fortunately not probable. that

~ UPERINTENDENT 5 L r. L :
- SONS view of the folly OF
~ loading upon the public school
course thousand and one
frlls and fancies, to the detriment OF
substantial instruction in the few but
nightly important fundamentals, such
as reading. writing, spelling and the
ability to do sums quickly and cor
rectly, is old-fashioned but eternally
sound.
Our schools try 10 treat the pupil as
the countryman treated the hotel
keeper, by eating everything OIL the bill
OF fare. The result is a form of mental
dyspepsia, resulting from a lot OF
mincing and nibbling and not enough
eating and mastication of good, solid
victuals. Strong men everywhere are
men OF simple tastes and limited topics
| OF knowledge ma mstered thoroughly. The
product of the new-fangled school idea
| is like the shotgun loaded with BIRD
shot and scattering over teil-acre
| field, with only rutfiing of the feathers
OF the object aimed at, compared with
the rifle that doesn't scatter but Kills.
The scatter brain does well enough for
show purposes. but makes a decidedly
poor reliance in time of stress.
Another thought put forth by Mr..
Stetson that is worth repeating is The
need of more outdoor school work. Per-
! haps' the boys get enough exercise as it
is. But outdoor instruction means more
than exercise 1t means the ability 10
see things near at hand and see them

brain, to be utilized as chance permits.
| The beauties and wonders and inspr-
| atoms OF the message that nature has
for us right here at home, among our
dingy coal dumps and apparently bleak
hills, would suffice, If properly inter-
preted, to comprise q very good and
practical education, as well as one con-
tributing greatly 10 character and con-
| tentment.
Truly, what we need in our schools is
fewer frills and more fresh air
