SIX MONTHS WITH POETS AND
PHILOSOPHERS.
The earth has grown old with its
burden OF care,
But at Christmas il always is
young.
The heart OF the jewel burns Ius-
trOus and fair.
And its soul full of music breaks
forth on the air
When the song of the angels is
sung.
1t is coming, old earth, il is coming
tonight!
On the s0Owflanes which cover thy
sod
The feet of the Christ child fall
gentle and white,
And the voice of the Christ child
tells out with delight
That mankind are the children OF
God.
On the sad and the lonely, the
wretched and poor,
The voice OF the Christ child shall
fall,
And to- every blind wanderer open
the door
OF a hope that we dared not to
dream of before,
With a sunshine of welcome for all.

Loud Report startles Station


Much excitement was created in the
Pennsylvania Railroad station the 9TH
er afternoon when loud report like
that from a revolver caused a special
policeman to detain an innocent woman
for an instant after the crowd pointed
her out. She was. carrying, according
to report, a small balloon filled with
gas which was suddenly crushed in the
crowd and exploded. Fingers were lev
eled at the woman and policeman
grasped her arm.
where's the gun!" he asked,
thinking she had revolver concealed
in her coat.
81 have no gun. 1t was toy bal
loon, she replied holding up the mute
evidence,-a small bit of rubber,-in
her fingers. The policeman did not
seem to be convinced very readily but
close examination of the bit of rubber
satisfied him. There followed quite a
lot of tears, for the vanished balloon
belonged to little boy who was
toddling along with his mother. She
had relieved him of it thinking to in
sure its safety when passing through
the station crowd.

days of 1880. That in Hartford, Conn.,, and the
presiding officer was Noah Webster author of the
one textbook common to all grades Of all schools
the standard dictionary.
There is something peculiarly appropriate in the
fact that the who called to order the first
teachers institute in the country should have been
the man whose authority will be consulted by teach
and students in this country as long as the lam
guage lasts, the man whose one stupendous work is
a treasure for all time whose great accomplishment
Is only too little appreciated Many school teachers
need to get better acquainted with the first inst
tute president and then introduce him to their
pupils
q Educational methods have changed since the early
days of teachers institutes, but many Of the old
problems remain. Questions which have been ag
tated for decades still need agitating and still take
their places on institute programs
At the early teachers conventions among sub
jects frequently discussed were such as 'The
Education of Females and Proper Education for
Agricultural Populations. The way in. which the
former subject designates members of the fairer
sex, III the cold Cooper STYLE indicates that to the
lecturers who handled the subject school girls were
about as real to them they were to Cooper which
is to say, about alive as mute mechanisms. The
latter subject, concerning the teaching Of agricul
ture in rural districts has been pentifully talked
about, but the powerful words yet remain to be
spoken which will put such courses in the fullest
possible use
Talks at teachers institutes have largely directed
the progress of public education by creating new
ideas and suggesting procedures but there
are many matters concerning the welfare of pupils
which have not yet been strongly enough pre-
sented, and which will continue for some time to
provide subjects for discussion at city, county
state and national gatherings of educators and
teachers.

WHEN SCHOOL TEACHERS MEET

Boys and girls in schools of Dauphin county
have other advantages to gain from the sessions
Of their teachers which closed to-day in the House
OF Representatives than that Of getting a week $
holiday The institute was held in their interests,
and whatever ideas were advanced or suggestions
made, were for their benefit
The teachers of the county did not gather here
to plot against the life health and pursuit of hap
pnfss of any of their pupils. They We're not here
tsdevise of making lessons more difficult or
assignments more unnteresting, nor were they lis
tening to lectures on how to make school work
more complicated in general. No, they were not
here to plot against their pupils but to plan for
them
Educators have learned that good teaching does
not mean much the compelling of children to
do tasks the Transforming of tasks into pleasures
School children object to doing many things simply
because there is an element of compusion involved
in the matter Work which they do spontaneously
IS work well DONE because they have an interest in
it and follow rules they have learned not by rote
but by heart.
realizing all this, present day educators discuss
problems of school administration not to the dis
advantage but to the advantage of the BOYS and
girls. Speakers told the teachers at the House of
Representatives that they should not make school
work uninteresting routine but should give boys
and girls some freedom, some opportunity to show
originality. The choice of subjects for compositions
is an instance matter which has been exception
ally well treated by one Of the lecturers.
