match contests ever participated in by
local players took place at Big Run
Thursday last when X. c.: Schuckers
and Clyde G. Murray, Of Reynoldsville,
met DR.. Newcome and Will a. Tyson
on the grounds Of the latter. Each
team took two sets. Messrs. Newcome
and Tyson started off In whirlwind
fashion by taking six straight games,
but the next two sets, which were deuce
sets, we're won by Schuckers and
Murray by scores Of S6 and 7.5. In the
last set, which was also run to deuce,
the score was S-6 Ia favor OF the gentle
men from Big Run. The playing was
so fast and fierce that one of the
participants, Clyde Murray, has not yet
recovered from an attack OF grip
following the severe exertlon of the
games.

OCTOBER IS THE
TEACHERS MEET
In Assembly Hall, Reynoldsville,
To Further Discuss the New
System of Grading.

AT the two teachers meetings held
recently the new state course Of study
for the elementary schools was dis
tributed to about two hundred and
fifty OF the teachers: those teachers
who did not In this manner secure the
course OF study should write to me for
the same enclosing self addressed and
stamped envelopes; 1t is the duty Of
every teacher In the county and state
to have and use copy Of this course
OF study. The method Of adapting the
course to the ungraded schools by
"alternation" was fully explained at the
teachers meetings; whose who did not
attend these meetings should carefully
study the brief outline Of alienation
as presented In the county papers three
weeks ago.
BY vote of the teachers present at
the last meeting two more meetings
were ordered, one at Brookville in the
forenoon of Saturday, October 18th, and
one at Reynoldsvllle in the afternoon
OF Saturday, October 18th; the forenoon
meeting will begin at 8 90 o'clock and
the afternoon meeting at | 30. Instruc-
iion in writing and drawing will be the
principal work at these meetings; but
one period will be taken for general
conference; those who did not attend
either of the other meetings are urged
to attend one OF these; you need the
help especially in the method OF using
the course OF study.
At these meetings announcement was
made that spelling contest will be
held at the county institute; each school
will be entitled to send two represen-
tatlves. Teachers will also be asked
to bring display work to the institute.
Further announcement concerning these
events will be found In the institute
book.
Teachers are requested to find out
II any Of their pupils expect to take
part In the contests OF the Boys and
Girls Clubs, and to inform them that
all who expect to compete in these
contests must notify me on or before
October 18th. Only those thus notify
Ing me will be allowed to compete. I
must know how many contestants there
will be In order to know what arrange
ments to make. Teachers, please do
this as otherwise there will be mis-
understanding and disappointment
among the boys and girls.

PRIZES OFFERED BY THE PENN
SYLVANIA TO TRACK SUPERVISORS

With view to maintaining healthy
rivalry among its track Supervisors and
Assistant Supervisors, the Pennsyl-
vanis Railroad distributes annually the
sum Of S5, 400 in premiums to those
whose DIVISIONS have been kept In the
most perfect condition during the year.
The premiums for 1910, six in number,
we're distributed September 22nd at
Harrisburg at the close OF the first day
OF the Generel Managers Thirty
Eighth Annual Track Inspection, on
which the General Manager was ac-
companied by his entire staff OF officers,
including some $50 men in the Operat-
ing Department of the railroad. ~
To insure that the premiums shall be
awarded upon accurate data, COM
mittee OF Maintenance OF way officers
goes over the line every few weeks
during the year in car attached to
one OF the regular high speed trains.
Two glasses of water are placed on the
sills OF two rear windows and every
spill of water is counted against the
score OF the section OF track over which
the train is passing. To make the
record ever more accurate, an instru-
ment has been especially designed to
register every vibration Of the car,
either vertically or horizontally. The
smaller the amount OF vibration, the
better the track.
