Trend Of Education.

& 80!
Superintendent Graft discussed the
trend of modern education to specialize
and answered the criticisms of the mod
ern methods, which, 1t has been said. are
too uniform.
He said that teachers could teach all
students the same subject, but they would
not all develop in the same degree. Men
tai maturity does not correspond with
physical maturity, nor does one child de-
velop in the same manner as another, al
though taught in the same manner.
Using "homeIy example" superin-
tendent Graft said many animals could
be turned loose in one pasture and eat
the same grass, but this grass would cause
wool to grow on the Sleeps back, hair
on the cows hide and feathers on the
chicken, If chickens eat grass.

A group of men lounged on
huge fallen tree at some few

to tempt an epicure. After the inner
man was supplied music was enjoy
ed for some time. Chas. Budd kept
the phonograph going for some time
with some very fine records. In the
evening Rev. Seymour delivered a
fine Thanksgiving sermon.
The w. c. II. U. will meet at the
parsonage Tuesday for dinner.
A new pulpit set is ordered for the

log IS CAUSE OF ACCIDENT.

Philadelphia, Dec. 5.-Five men were
injured one of them seriously, when
a trolley of the Haddington line crash
ed into heavy ash car on the Spring
Garden street bridge, over the Schuyl-
kill river. The injured follow:
z. Doolan, 755 North Forty fifth
steet, motorman of the Haddington
car, compound fracture of both legs,
cuts on face; probable internal injuries.
Frank Spair, 5627 Lancaster avenue,
cut about face by glass, bruised back.
G. Macintosh, III North Forty
fourth street, pitched through win
dow, sustaining cuts on face and head.
Thomas Butler, 700 North Thirty
fourth street, cuts on face and hands.
Peter McGlogue, GIG North Thirty
eighth street, conductor of the Had
dington car, cuts on face and arms.
They were taken to the Presbyterian
hospital. Half a dozen others who
were slightly cut by glass refused to
go to the hospital. They were treated
by physicians in the neighborhood.
The heavy fog is held responsible for
the collision.
The ash car, running west on Spring
C~rden street, stopped on the bridge
when the trolley pole flew off. The
Haddington car, a four wheeler, crowd
ed with passengers, came over the
bridge a few yards in back of the ash
car, and the motorman could not see
that the ash car had stopped. He was
running at fair speed, and it was not
until he came within a short distance
of the ash car that he realized the
danger.
The rails were slippery and the dis
tance too short for the air brakes to
bring the Haddington car to a stop.
The Haddington car smashed full tilt
into the heavy ash car, hurting passen-
gers to the floor, breaking windows
and crashing in the front of the ash
conveyance.
Dolan was crushed against the door.
McGlogue, who was on the back plat
form, was pitched out of the rear 5in-
dow. Several women tainted One of
the passengers ran to a telephone and
called the electrical bureau. 1t short
time ambulances and three patrol wag-
onG were on the scene. Dolan was
picked up from the front platform un-
conscious.

CHARACTER.

Character is the quality that keeps
us always ourselves. 1t stands near
est to the innermost part of us that
each calls myself; sometimes it is
even hard to distinguish the two.
But 1 like to keep Character in my
body-guard. Character stands firm
under every trial, if we give it the
chance TO do so. 1t says to all the
enemies temptation, discourage
ment, bad luck, the blues and hosts
of others" You may defeat the
rest of the army but you dare not
come near the general" Character
is the quality that always reminds
me that l am myself. 1t stands just
next to myself and goes on repeat
ing, "Be yourself! Don't forget who
you are; don't act below yourself"
Wherever it began, Character is the
first in our body-guard. He will
never desert. A boy or girl who
has character, who keeps character
strong and alive, can never truly be
defeated.

Now that Christmas is drawing
near we find the following in an eX-
change which contains some pretty
good logic, and is as applicable here
as elsewhere: Because my interests
are here, because the community
that is good enough for me to live in
is good enough for me buy in, be-
cause l believe in transacting busi-
ness with my friends, because |
want to see the goods, because l
want to get what l pay for; because
every dollar | spend at home stays at
home and helps work for the well
fare of the town; because the man
l buy from stands back of the
goods; because l sell what / produce
here at home; because the man l
buy from pays his part of the village
and country taxes; because the man
l buy from helps support my school,
and church, my lodge and my home; /;
here is where | live and here l buy.

cret what he was going to do. Also
there is a small army of youngsters
carrying around air guns which are
efficacious in destroying eye sight,
and a great many people are given
the shudders daily as they pass these
playful youngsters. OF course, every
father thinks his boy is so careful
and capable that it is perfectly safe
for him to carry gun about the
streets and pepper away at sparrows
notwithstanding that If grown man
should do the same with his shot
gun he would be considered a luna
tic. In Wilkes-Barre recently boy
of fourteen turned loose his flobert
and a companion was shot right
through the centre of the heart show
ing how accurate the young marks
men are and how deadly are the
guns they are given as toys.
The boys do not know any better.
They never read of the great number
of deaths that result from this cause
but the parents do and in some way
they should be punished for their
criminality for it is nothing less
than crime to give a boy a gun
of any kind.
The police should deem it their
duty to confiscate every flobert or
other kind of gun in the possession
of boys on the street. They are en-
tirely within their rights in doing SO
just as they would arrest any one
for flourishing a revolver. Further
more the legislatures all over the
land should prohibit the sale of these
weapons. 1t also seems that it is
just as reprehensible for the dealer
to sell a boy a gun as it is for a
parent to give him one. How many
more lives are to be sacrificed be.
! fore the authorities will take drastic
action in the matter?

WISE ADVERTISING.

The editor of the Rural New
Yorker, a farm paper of national
circulation, who also owns and
manages a large farm, has this to
say as to wise advertising:
"A farmer in small Illinois town
with about 75 barrels of apples want
ed to advertise in the Rural New
Yorker. 1t probably would not have
paid him to do so. The cost of ship
ping would have made them too
high for private sale. l advised him
to advertise in the local papers. 1t
is often surprising to see how many
wants can be supplied in this way.
Wealways go to the local papers
with such wants. Not long ago a
guest lost a small bag out of the
wagon in the dark. We advertised
in a local paper and in few hours
after it was printed a man brought
the bag. / was once in a local pa
per's office when a woman came in
crying to say that she had lost her
canary bird. was young and hope
full then, and told her to advertise,
though finding a bird in several
thousand acres of air seemed fool
ish. The woman actually advertised
and actually got the bird back. 1t
flew into a tree some three blocks
away and a boy caught it. We sell
apples, potatoes, eggs-anything-
by advertising. A blackboard in
front of the farm will prove a great
help, but a small note in the local
paper will surely make sales. 1t will
also help the paper and help farm
ing. The average newspaper man
wants to please his advertisers.
That is often why the local papers
advocate things that are a positive
injury to farmers. Let these same
farmers also become advertisers and
they will get much better showing
in the paper. When we get parcels
post these local papers will, if they
are sharp, make much Of this feat
ure. If any farmer has a lot of good
produce which he can guarantee, my
advice would be to try an adver-
tisement in the local paper. Keep
it right up. Do not try it once and
then quit. You must hang on and
get acquainted with the people"
