GRANTSV|LLE's GRAND
OLD SCHOOL TEACHER
Captain R. R. Sanner Doing As Good
Work Now as Hall a Century Ago.

Grantsville. Md. has the unique dis
tinction of having the same principal of
schools that it had fifty years ago, and
despite the fact that this grand old
pedagogue is now "a years of age, he
appears to be as vigorous in mind and
body and as proficient in imparting
knowledge and teaching the young idea
how to shoot as he was half century
ago, for during the present winter when
youth and age have alike been sufferers
from la grippe and other distempers,
Capt. Sanner has not missed one hour
from school on account of sickness, and
all reports indicate that the Grantsville
schools have never been under better
discipline nor made better progress than
during the present school year.
Ross r. Sanner is a native of Somer-
set County and brother of Capt. VIM.
II. Sanner, of Somerset, former County
Superintendent of Schools and ex-As-
semblyman and present County Sealer
of Weights and Measures, who is two
years his senior, W. H. being 70 and R.
R. "a years of age. The two brothers
enlisted for the defense of the Union
when mere youths and served with dis
tinction throughout the Civil War, both
attaining the rank of captain.
Capt. X. R. Sanner served in the
same regiment and company as the late
Norman B. Ream and carried the latter
off the field of battle when seriously

wounded. Mr.. Reem recovered from
his wounds and become one of the rich
est money magnates of the United
States, while Capt. Sanner elected to
follow the humble though more the less
honorable vocation of pedagogue
and in worldly goods and chattles is ac-
counted poor man in his old age.
though rich in honor and respect shown
him by the many pupils who have been
under his guidance. The multi-milion-
aire, Norman B. Ream, remained his
steadfast friend until death, but did
not remember him in his will
At the close of the Civil War, Capt.
Sanner became the village school-master
at Grantsville, Md, and taught there
several years. The writer (editor of
The Republican, had the privilege of
being one of his primary pupils in 1868
and among the readers of The Repub-
lican are many who received their first
instructions from this grand old peda-
gogue and who have ever since held
him in grateful memory and high
esteem.
Besides teaching in the public
schools of Allegany county, Md, in
his younger years. capt. Sanner also
taught a number of normal terms and
for about Is years was an instructor
in the Soldiers Orphans School at
Uniontown. Some years ago he emil
grated to the Red River Valley, North
Dakota, to engage in wheat farming,
but soon returned East and resumed
teaching. For several years past, he
was principal of schools at Oakland,
Md, and last fall after lapse of half
century since first going there to teach,
he returned to the pleasant village of
Grantsville as principal of the schools
of that district.
He and his good wife, a native Of
Grantsville (nee Fuller are domiciled

The economy pledges made by the
Democratic State administration prior
to the election, seemingly are not be-

the House, after lengthy discussion,
added two men to its payroll, and the
wiseacres believe this is evidence of the
intention of the body to add to the num-
Der of its employees whenever the op-
portunity offers. 1t was all about the
proofreader, and the debate ended in the
House adopting report of the commit
tee of printed bills providing for the
employment of two additional proof
readers at S. day each.

The other evening had the pleasure

Both host and hostess were all smiles
and as gracious as far farmed Southern
hospitality could warrant. They were
gracious to the point of gushing and
they gushed. But something must
have happened between the reception
room and the dining room, one of those
little domestic clashes that come up oc-
casionally as suddenly as Jack in the
box, for at the table the gush had gone
and there began one of those pleasant

- A whole library could contain no
sounder truths than the brief bit of
PHILOSOPHY from Holmes. And if it
could just be remembered whenever
you feel those little remarks coming on
that cut like knife blade, Cornelius, it
would make the way much more pleas
ant along the open road. No remarks
once said can ever be unsaid. There is
something In the world. an empty form
they call apology. But remember that
the word once spoken cannot be recall
ed for the reason that no amount of
apology can erase it from the mind.
The spoken word sets up vibration
and every vibration has a certain eff
feet. Vibration carries the word to
the drum of the ear and into the brain.
Remembrance locks it there. Lots Of
bitterness is caused along the way of
words. Lots could be avoided if a seal
could sometimes be placed on the lips.
Cutting remarks and sarcasm form
one of the unnecessary cups of bitter
ness.
