State Aid to Normal Students Ex
hausted.

Superintendent of Public In
struction N, c. Schaeffer has in
formed the thirteen Normal Schools
of the state that the state aid appro-
priation is exhausted.
The reason given for the defci.
ency is the increased attendance of
students, there being large num-
bers in attendance from other
States.
A few years ago the State gave
so cents a week to each student
over II years of age who would a.
gree to teach in the public schools
for at least two years after gradua-
ton. Lately this "aid" was in
creased to 81 80 week, being the
entire cost of tuition in the normal
schools, board being charged at
about So and So. so week.
This cutting of the aid will mean
much in the career of many of the
ambitious girls and boys. Some
are already seeking places of en-
ployment.
it has been noticeable fact that
during the periods of business de.
pressions there are more students
who attend normal schools with
the intention of making teaching
their profession than during period.
of business activity and this is
thought to be partly responsible
for the very largely increased at.
tendance in the normal schools oi
the State. Then, too, the increas
ed salaries which the law make.
mandatory undoubtedly has it.
weight.

TO THE PEOPLE OF COLUMBIA
COUNTY.

The undersigned lessees of tho
Columbia Theatre, Bloor'sburg
Pa, request your serious interest
in what they say herewith.
This new playhouse opened Sept.
25th, in answer to what was ac-
cepted as a demand for high class
amusemcnts properly produced i'll
this county.
Since that date the cement
has brought to Bloomsbury the
same class of attractions as appear
in Wilkes Barre, Scranton, Harris
burg, and the other larger cities of
the state We have had such ex-
cellent entertainments as "The
Time, The Place and The Girl, .
"The Great Divide, !" paid in
Full" Girls, The Lion and
the Mouse" and not one Of these
attractions has been able to pay its
actual expenses here.
The lessees of the theatre have
lost more than eight hundred dol
lars on the experiment.
1t will bring our loss to date near
the thousand mark. The expense,
in fact the entire loss, is not i'm
portant if we can awaken you to
what we believe is your duty to a
public institution.
The theatre, properly conducted,
is a public institution, factor in
the life of any community, a force
for good that widens peoples minds
and makes them know the reality
of life, it's joys and sorrows.
We want everybody to be inter-
ested in this playhouse. We don't
expect anyone to go to every at
traction, but we do expect every
one to go sometimes. We endeav-
or to offer the best of all classes of
good, clean amusements. Within
the next few days. for instance we
have three excellent amusements,
of so different character that we
can reasonably expect everybody
in the vicinity to come TO one of
them at least.
The Travelling Salesman" will
be one of the best high class shows
of the year. 1t is wonderful pro-
duction, in story, cast, and scenery.
This is the only company en- tour.
Human Hearts" is probably
the most realistic story of rural
life ever written. Mr.. Nankeville,
formerly of Bloomsbury, has made
fortune in the production of this
beautiful little story.
Lyman Howe's moving pictures
with the scenes of Sicily before the
earthquake. and other travel sub.
jec:s deserve packed house.
Please give the theatre of your
city the attention and patronage it
deserves. This management re-
quests not only your financial,
but your thoughtful support.
Make the Columbia Theatre in
Bloomsbury as ne >essary as the
post Office.
Sincerely Yours,
THE COLUMBIA THEATRE.

The House and the President.

Nothing truer or more cleaving
was uttered in the House debate on
the resolutions laying on the table
the Secret Service paragraphs of
the Presidents annual message
than Chairman Perkins remark
that mo legislative body will be
respected by the people unless it
respects itself" By an overwhelm-
ing vote of 2I2 to IS the House de-
monstrates that it will not receive
from the Executive unjusti6able
and untruthful aspersions upon its
honor as Legislative body, and
thus leaves no possible doubt that
it will maintain its self-respect at
whatever cost.
Nor can the Presidents counter
assault upon Senator Tillman af.
feet in the slightest degree the
merits of the question which the
lower branch of Congress has met
The South Carolina Senator NAV be
a knave, but at least he had no fear
of the Secret Service or OF official
inquiry into its own acts, iuasmuch
as it was Senator Tillman himself
who initiated by his own request

ed to the President the ammunition
which he now uses against him. I,
Senator Tillman, however, or an,
other Senator, has disgraced the
Senate, that body will know how
to deal with him. For the Senat,

by the President in connection will
