OLD PUBLIC SCHOOL
Institution Founded in 176O at
 Germantown, Pa.
Interesting History Connected With Ancient Building Often Visited by George Washington, Whose
 Step-sen Was a Pupil.

Germantown, Pa-Founded in 1760, when Germantown was as yet a viii lage, the Germantown academy, which has been celebrating its sesqui cen tennial, has a most interesting his tory. Undenominational in character, the oldest public school In America and held traditionally dear by the many who owe to it their early edu- cational training, the school stands as monument to the progressiveness, wisdom and determination of those early settlers in whom it had its in ception.
 On April 21. 176O, the corner stone was laid and in the autumn of that year the school was opened with Hilarius Becker as German master, and David James Dove, English mas ter. The first years enrolment was 60 English and 10 German pupils, of all denominations, but a large propor- tion Friends. The debt of S5,625 in- .. cured in the building of the institu- tion was paid off in March of the following spring, by means of a lot tery.
 Washington was an ardent patron of the institution, visited 1t often to accompany home his adopted son, George Washington Curtis. In 1798, when the Bank of the United States was robbed, great deal of specie was deposited in vaults under the building, In 1924 General Lafayette was tendered a grand reception in the academy.
 The school buildings were used as a hospital for the wounded after the historic Battle of Germantown, and

ed by marks left by burglary tools on wood
 The device consists of two dynome- ters, which, placed at right angles, are used to register pressure and horizon tal traction. AS accessories to the machine are pieces of wood of all kinds. A piecerof wood similar to that on which the marks of the tools have been found is placed in the machine; then the marks on the original piece of wood are reproduced on the new piece of wood by means of tools like those used by the thief. The amount of force used by the burglar Is regis tered by the apparatus. M. Bertillon points out that there are occasions when 1t may be very valuable to know the exact amount of force used by 8 burglar.

 People of that date were undoubt- edly long armed. Their legs were short and abnormally strong. Their brains were far larger than previously conceded. It seems reasonably certain that they could talk. Examination of the brain cavity shows the cells con- trolling speech were there. The skull indicates that the woman had large nose. Her eyes must have been promi- nent. The palate was one-third larger than that of the woman of today"
