Board of Education.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Education was held in the
Council Chamber Wednesday even
ing at s O'Clock. All members were
present with the exception of Mr..
Shamalia.
The report of the Supervising Prin-
cipal was received and read. The
Principals report showed that the ex-
aminations marking the close of the
first half of the year show that the
work of the school is generally sue
cessful. There has been very gen.
eral moving forward, with the result
that the high school now numbers an
even hundred, exclusive of 25 eighth
grade pupils who occupy seats in the
Assembly room. The suitable ac-
commodation of this number is inn
possible with the present numb er of
teachers employed, aud since with
State appropriations aud tuition, the
high school is almost supporting,
there seems to be no reason why
another teacher conld not be profit
ably employ ed, except the fact that
there is no corner in which her work
could he per formed. Unless the mat
ter of additional room is in some way
dealt with seriously it looks as If a
great deal of effort would have been
wasted
The Supervising Principal also
stated that he was pleased to report
that Clarence Lugar, graduate of
the class of 1909. had been granted
unconditional admission to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, Dental De.
partment, upon the presentation of a

Jacob Rocker Black
lacked By Two Masked
Robbers.

The little village OF Aquetong, on
the Buckingham and Newhope turn
| pike, midway between Lahaska and
Ingham Springs, was thrown into a
ferment of intense excitement on Mon
day night by one of the boldest rob
berries and outrages that ever happened
in that peaceful Quaker community.
At 7 o'clock in the evening Jacob
Hooker who Resides OH farm near the
village, was seated at the table in the
dining room, writing a letter. Mrs,
Hooker, who has been quite ill., and a
nurse were in the same room, the latter
washing the dishes, the family haV-
ing just finished their supper.
Without a knock or previous an
nouncement the outside door was push.
ed open and two masked men sprang
into the room. Thinking neis hbors
were putting up u joke on him, Mr..
Hooker arose from his chair and cx-
clamed:
"Why, hello, boys; how are you?"
AT the same time he extended his
hand in greeting. The foremost mask
ed man raised his arm and dealt Mr..
HOOKER bow on the head with
blackjack, knocking him through the
cellar door, which stood open. Mr.
Hooker fell down the cellar steps
Thinking possible they had injured
Mr.. Hooker seriously the men followed
him Into the cellar and assisted him
back to the dining room and placed
him on chair. The two women were
too much frightened to move or make
an outcry.
One of the men covered Mr.. Hooker
with his revolver, while the other ran
sacked the house. They were evident
ly after money, but Mr.. Hooker had
gone to the bank during the day and
deposited nearly all his cash. Being
an extensive dealer in horses, carriages,
etc, he frequently has considerable
sums of money on hand, but fortunately
there was only small amount about
the house at the time-two or three dol
lars which the robbers took. They car
ried away nothing else.
The men were in the house only a
bout half an hour and having
satisfied themselves that they had
secured all the money they quietly left.
The authorities have been notified of
the robbery, but as yet they have no
eliable clues. No suspicious charact-
ers were seen about the premises dur
ing the day.
The men were effectually masked
and it may be difficult to establish
their identity.
AS soon as they had gone a message
was sent for DR.. Erdman, of Bucking-
ham, who dressed Mr.. Rockers in
juries. He was cut on the back part
of the head by the blackjack aud sus-
tanned severe bruises by his fall down
the cellar stairs, but he was able TO be
out of bed on Tuesday morning.

National tuberculosis
Day on April 3Oth.

April goth has been set aside this
year as Tuberculosis Day." and will
be observed in 200, 900 churches in
the country in a manner similar to that
of Tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910,
when over 10000 sermons were preach
ed on the prevention of consumption.
In this first official announcement of the
occasion made by the National Asso
citation for the Study and Prevention
oil Tuberculosis today, the leaders OF
the movement state that they hope to
enlist all of the $4,000, 900 church
members IN the country.
In one respect tuberculosis Day
will differ from tuberculosis Sunday OF
1910 Instead OF requesting the church
es to give to the tuberculosis cause
special Sunday service, the National
Association is going to ask this year
that meetings, at which the subject of
tuberculosis and its prevention can be
discussed, be held ON Sunday, April
goth, or on any other day near that
date, either in the week preceding or
or the week following ''What we
want, says Dr. Livingston FarrAnd,
Executive Secretary of the National
Asso, iation for the Study and Preven-
ton OF luberculosls, in report on
this movement, is to have this whole
subject of tuberculosis discussed in all
OF the 100000 churches of the United
States at as nearly the same time as
possible. This does not mean that
stated service must be given over to
this work, though that might be desir-
able, but that any minister, or other
authority whom he may invite, can
present the problem to his congrega-
ton before or after his regular service,
or on any day within the week preced-
Ing or following April goth.
The National Association is plann-
ing to gather statistics from thousands
OF ministers, showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis is 10 every
church. These figures will show
among other things the number OF
deaths last year from tuberculosis in
the church congi ega,lon, and The ways
In which the pastors are called on to
minister to sufferers from this disease.
1t Is planned also Ia issue millions oi
circulars and pamphlets ON the pre-
,, vrption OF tuberculosis, both from tht
national office and from the headquar
tiers OF the $50 antl-tuht rcnlosis associ
/; atoms who will cooperate in The move
ment.
