GREATEST BATTLE OF WORLD
Reception and Banquet Was Prelude
at Gettysburs-Enemy Routed
After Desperate Conflict.

/ name Hanover before Gettysburg
because 1t was here that / think the
greatest battle in the world began on
June 30, 1863. When the Fifth New
York cavalry rode into town we were
greeted by the citizens of that pa
triotic town in a manner that was far
different from the treatment accorded
us on the other side of the Potomac.
They gave us good food and sang
songs of cheer as we marched along
the road.
A reception was being given in the
market place when there came re-
port as from the mouth of a cannon,

Record-Herald At first we thought
that it was but a part of the recep-
ton program. But this idea soon was
rudely dispelled when shells began

Major John Hammond, who COM

ness and bravery quickly commanded

passed down side street toward the
railroad depot, and upon a vacant lot
reformed into line, drew sabers and
breaking off into fours, he ordered and
led charge.
By this time the enemy had pene-
trated to the market place. We met
and were instantly engaged In hand

so sudden and strong that notwith-
standing a gallant resistance they
were hurled back and followed with
irresistible force Though fresh regf
ments were brought to their assist
ance, rallying again and again, they
were driven back over the hill they
had taken possession Of under cover
of their guns. AS one writer says:
I'm less than fifteen minutes from the
time they charged the rear guard,

Many were found hiding in the wheat

about, covered with blood and dust;
the gray Of one and the blue of the
other was blended into one almost
undistinguishable color, so that 1t was

parties had mingled in one common

Aim Of Modern Educators Now Is to
Promote the Health Of
the Child.

1t is no longer sufficient that school
shall not interfere with the health of
the child; it must positively promote
it, asserts DR.. Woods Hutchinson. The
schoolroom should be tolerated In so
far as it makes for health, and not one
whit farther. Growth is the chief
and only important business OF the
child: and the duty of education is to
assist that growth. Whatsoever is
more than this in it, cometh Of evil.
The school ought to be. and must be
made, the wholesomest ard health.
lest place in the world for the child.
The old education concerned itself
solely with the mind of the child, and
the only part of his body that 1t took
into account at all was the brain-bulb
at the upper end of him. The new edu.
cation considers the whole child, and
proposes to develop all his powers
bodily, mental and moral A healthy.
