Magazinev, a magazine of national
standing. AS a worker in school af-
fairs he is without peer and the
local committee was very fortunate
in securing him for the occasion
While in the city he is the guest
of Professor VI. j.. Frank.
The program of the afternoon
opened with music, after which the
devotional exercises were lea by
Rev. J. j. Halliday Of Prospect. A
vocal solo was rendered by Mr. J.
r. Maynard
Professor Fess as the first speaker
of the afternoon took as his subject
the Methods in History. He spoke
OF the present financial panic. He
stated that the present was the most
unique and peculiar panic known to
history. II has come before It should
logically come for if the logical,
chronological record of panics in his
tory are considered It will be found
that the next panic which should
come over this country should appear
in the year 1913 According 20
history every twenty years there has
been a panic, which has done havoc
over this land
Professor Fess was urged that the
teachers study history that they be-
come so acquainted with It that they
will see by the past the remedies for
the present and future difficulties.
He said that panics come logically
and according to cause. Fess be-
aieved that the financial difficul
ties of the past coming as they have
every twenty years is due to an over
stimulus in business and this crea-
ton of heavy speculation in bust
ness. In Philadelphia some years
lago Professor Fess said that he had
stated before an audience that he saw
conditions, which would bring a
financial panic within four years. As
cause of the present difficulty he
gave overstimulus in business lead
ing to speculation The panic OF the
present does not come logically ac-
cording to history, said the speaker
but is due in 1913. He thought
the enormous business of the past
years the direct cause.

Erie railroad officials and others
are amusing themselves relating a
tale Of an Italian employe, who was
about TO return to his home country
few days ago on account OF his
deafness. The man could by no
means hear the instruction Of his
foreman and was counted as useless
to the road Being discharged he
was about to return home.
At various points along the road he
inquired Of his fellows If there were
any doctors, who could restore his
hearing once more. Finally he sue
ceeded in finding one who was kind
enough to give the defective member
some soap and water whereupon me
foreigner could scarcely keep back his
joy at being restored to his hearing.
His job, however, was gone.
