 NEW ARRIVALS
Members of Congregational Church and Friends Meet
 Rev. and Mrs. Price.

The reception given Rev. and Mrs. Price at the Congregational church last evening was a de- lightful social event. The mem- bers of the congregation and their friends began making their appearance at the church short ly after 8 o'clock to welcome the new arrivals and to wish them success and happiness in their chosen work in the north. The reception was informal and the friends felt at liberty to come and go as they pleased. The ladies of the church had provided an abundance of cake and coffee, which was much appreciated.
 Mr. Price comes to Valdez from Harrison, Idaho, and is west ern man. To plagarize from the poet of the Yukon he is the ''kind that will fit in."

A Literary Tragedy.

When Carlyle had finished the first volume of his great work on the French revolution he lent the manuscript to his friend John Stuart Mill. One evening soon aft- erward Mill entered Carlyle's door, pale as Electors ghost, with the dismal information, gasped out in almost inarticulate words, that with the exception of about four or five sheets the manuscript was com completely annihilated. Mill had left it too careless!y lying about, and servant, thinking it so much waste paper, had burned it. Five months of steadfast, occasionall y excessive and painful toll utterly lost! For three weeks Carlyle could do nothing but read Marryat's nov els. Then one night, sitting talk ing to his cook, he decided it should be written again and eventually finished "such a task as never tried before or since"

 7 ssrlss Of .coineidsnees.
 Names have figured frequently in coincidenees,. one of the most re- markable cases being that recorded of series of men named Hugh Will Hams, whose escapes from ship wreck are recorded by an English chronicler.
 On Dec. 5, 1864, according to this authority, the English ship Menia was crossing the strait of Dover and capsized in a gale. Of the eighty-one passengers on board one was saved. His name was Hugh Williams.
 On the same day of the same month in 17S5 a pleasure boat was wrecked on the Isle of Man. There were sixty persons on the boat, among them one Hugh Williams and his family. Of the threescore none but old Hugh Williams sur vived the shock.
 On Aug. 5. 1920, picnicking party on the Thames was run dowD by d coal barge. There were twenty five of the picnickers, mostly chil- drcn under twelve years of age. Lit tie Hugh Williams, visitor from Liverpool, only five years old, was the only one who was saved.
 Now comes the most singular part of this singular story. On Aug. 19, 1889. coal laden craft, with nine men, foundered in the North sea. Two of the men, each of whom was named Hugh Williams, an uncle and nephew, were rescued by some fishermen and were the only men of the crew who lived to tell of the calamity.

MERITS UNSTINTED PRAISE
Efficient Work Done by DR.. 7.
]. Burke. of NeWburgh.

Dr. Thomas j. Burke is the health Of
ficer of the city Of Newburgh. He has
rendered such efficient service to the city
as to attract and to merit the unstinted
praise Of the great medical bodies OF this
state.
He was born in Newburgh forty-two
years ago. He attended the public
schools of that city and in 1884 entered
Niagara University, where he completed
a four-year course in the classical and
scientific department. In 1888 he entered
the medical department of Niagara Uni
versity, now the University of Buffalo, at
Buffalo, and there completed three-year
course. receiving the degree of doctor OF
medicine.
Or. Burke was resident physician and
surgeon in 1891 at the Charity Hospital,
Buffalo and d year later was resident
surgeon of the United States Marine Hos
pital at Buffalo. For a year 9nd half
he was visiting surgeon 10 the Emer
gcncy Hospital in Brooklyn. The fall OF
1894 found him in Newburgh practising his
profession, and there he has been ever
since. He is examiner for a number OF
insurance companies.

instruct, stimulate and guide students
in their efforts to secure an education.
There are four great organized social
agencies, whose function is to train and
help the people in right living-the home,
the school the church and the state. 1t
is incumbent upon each of these institu-
tons to do its own distinctive work and
at the same time to cooperate with and
mutually reinforce one another. The one
distinctive function of the school is TO
develop the entire child. TO train school
children representing all classes of So
ciety and all stages of moral and social
development to be members of society,
and at the same time to play well their
parts in the various activities of life is the
great and important work of the schools
In other words, TO secure thorough and
proper training, physical strength, mental
and action. and. above all, that fine moral
sense without which true success in any
calling in life is impossible.
Il believe that in our elementary schools
education should be general In its char
acter rather than technical and special
and should be confined to those branches
that are generally conceded to be essen
tial both for their educational and prac-
teal value and these should be given
continuous, intense study for sufficient
length of time TO become properly assim-
Hated. Included among the essentials in
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1913-11-02

Nicholas Murray Butler has said that
from one point of view the significance of
the development OF modern education can
best be estimated by the progress Of the
mother tongue toward the central place In
formal instruction.
To-day educators regard English not
only as holding a place side by side with
as being the means by which all thees
are mastered In short, no people can re-
gard itself as truly cultured until its own
language is considered not only an end
but in itself means.
ut is as a means that English is COM
ing to take the central place in education
Any text book in science, history or
mathematics is sealed to any pupil whose
English training does not enable him to
grasp the meaning Of the text and re-
produce n clean, concise English, either
oral or written.
THE old Idea Of reading is fast yield
ing to this newer and more practical
conception of it's purpose. The aim
of every grade in which reading is
taught should be that the pupils be re-
ouired not only to read with correct pro-
nunciation and emphasis. but also TO read
with conception and appreciation of the
thought. The measure of this first is the
oral composition which in time is sup
plemented by the written. In both these
exercises reasonably clear and correct ex-

acquiring a general education should be
manual training, as it has both educa-
tional and economic value, and music, for
it's disciplinary and cultural value. Sew
ing and domestic science for girls should
also be classified among the essentials.
They have educational value, and espe-
cially contribute to the comfort and well
being OF the present and future home OF
the girls A thorough training in these
subjects mentioned will furnish pupils
with the knowledge and ability for their
future school work and the power to learn
TO do other things whether they continue
in school or not. These subjects are all
included in our school curriculum at the
present time, with the exception Of do
nestle science. and this, we hope, will be
provided for In the near future.
THE question of requiring place for
vocational training in the curriculum OF
the public schools is receiving much at
tention these later years by the public
press. educational organizations and the
people generally. We all hope that the
widespread interest in this important

question will result in providing addi-
tional educational advantages along prac-

While we do not attempt to give voca-
tional training in special lines of work,
we do aim to prepare our students for
the various vocations of life. For exam
