IT cannot be told now many votes were
cast in the Washington party for Me
Cormick for Governor. nor how many
were cast in the keystone and Personal
Liberty parties for Brumbaugh for that
office, and consequently the Berks vote
cannot be added to the totals of the
three parties in order to ascertain
whether they may have seperate col
ann on the ballot in 1916 and can put
candidates before the primary in that
year
The only way out is for some citizen
representing enc of the parties mention
ed going into court and asking that the
order be issued that the entire vote of
Berks county be again counted and each
party properly credited with what cast
by its voters. To do this it would be
necessary to have the election officers
of each voting division open the boxes
and count the votes one bv one and
credit them to the proper parties. A re-
quest like this to the Court could be
accompanied by a request that the
County Commissioners should be person
ally held for the paying of the expenses
incident to the recount and the extra
work placed on the election officers.

votional exercises, Mr.. Slough gave a
short talk on "Ideals. - This talk was
Que of the most enthusiastic and inspir-
ing given during the institute. He urged
teachers to teach as much of the Bible
as possible, saying that there was moth
ing so dangerous to mankind as educa-
tion without moral training. He also
said that some of the biggest "crooks
II America were college bred men.
Pupils, he said, learn and are governed
more by the actions of the teacher than
by all the BOOKS they study.
Prof. Albert in his talk on "School
Discipline From Modern Viewpoint, -
said that the day of the incessant use
of the strap and rod has almost passed
and one of the chief factors in helping
remove it is the abolishment of the dou-
bic desks. If the teachers wish to have
order in the school room they should
pay more attention to the seating of the
pupils SO as not to seat pupils of the
same temperament beside each other.
Prof. Albert also said that teachers that
want to make good must exercise all
the self-control at their command and
should be more systematic especially
with the pupils that are "down and
