MCGufeY'S Readers

Editor Democrat:-Your article
recently in regard to McGuffey's s
readers carried my memory back to
the days of childhood, to the little
country school house on Salt Run,
not far from McConnelsville.
The old log school house on Salt
Run! 1t shall never fade from my
memory, and McGuffey. Grand old
McGuffey, who did so much to in
spire thousands of youths with a
love for good and wholesome litera-
ture. Sacred be his memory.
A brief sketch of McGuffey and
his valuable readers may be appre-
ciated by you.
In 1886 Cincinnati publishing
house offered William H. McGuffey
one thousand dollars to compile a
series of four school readers. Nc
Guffey at that time was a professor
in Miami university. He was always
a busy man. He served as presi-
dent of Ohio university for time
and his last days were spent as pro-
fessor in the University of Virginia
McGuffey was an able educator and
had more than local renown, but
by his readers is he best remember
ed. These books helped to form
the literary tastes of thousands of
the boys and girls in the western
and southern states. The first edi-
tion of the series comprises four
books from the first to the fourth
reader, to which later was added
McGuffey's Rhetorical Guide, or
fifth reader. These books belong to
the Eclectic series. The compila-
ton of the first edition was made by
Alexander McGuffey, younger
brother of William H., who was then
youth of 20 years of age, recently
graduated from college The elder
McGuffey accepted the offer of the
publishing house, provided his
brother should do the work under
his supervision. The publishers
agreed to this The work occupied
Alexander MGuffey during the win
ter of 1886 and half the year 1897.
The elder McGuffey directed the
work and they were also assisted by
DR.. T. S. Pinneo, then professor in
Marietta college and who was also
the author of Heman's reader and a
series of English grammars. The
McGuffey readers have never, been
excelled. and as suggested in your
article, emphatically. declare that
no improvement was made when
McGuffeys readers were discarded
for others supposedly more up-to-
date. If I had my way, McGuffey's
readers would go back into our
schools and stay there.

LOCAL BAPTIST CHURCH
NOW HAS RESIDENT PASTOR

A new chapter of church history
and Christian activities was written
into community life at recent
meeting of the Baptist church. AZ
ter many months of inactivity, de-
nominational leaders have brought
the church to a place of promise for
the future.
Since Jan. 1st,s Lords day services
have been conducted by ministers
from Granville, every Lords day,
and the time had arrived to decide
future program. At this meeting
officers were elected and a new or
ganization was perfected.
The State organization and the AS
sociation had such faith in the situa-
tion that they pledged themselves to
support pastoral oversight The
members of the church responded to
this action and called Rev. Thomas
Lasley, pastor of Second Church,
Newark, o. Rev. Lasley accepted
the call and is now on the field. He
and Mrs. Lasley are to be found in
the parsonage and will welcome all
callers.-Chas. J. Bowen, Supt. S. E.

COUNTY MAIL CARRIERS
HOLD THEIR ANNUAL PICNIC

The rural mail carriers of the
county held their annual picnic at
the fair ground Sunday. The day
was fine, and with a big dinner at
noon. including all the good things
that could be imagined, and all
sorts of cooling refreshments
throughout the day, the occasion was
delightful. While a goodly number
were in attendance, the crowd was
not so large as that of last year,
from the fact that the heavy rain of
the night before had put the roads
In such shape that some of those in
terested could not be present.
Mr.. J. L. Maier was reelected
president of the association. and Mr..
C. e. Peck secretary. Delegates
chosen to the state rural carriers
convention to be held July 18 and
19 at Bucyrus, were H. B. Hooper of
McCcnnelsville and F. o. McIntire
of Malta route. Alternates are Pearl
Savage of McConnelsville and Wal
ter Palmer Of Chesterhill
The state conference of Ohio post
masters is to be held at Marion, the
two days preceding the rural car
riers' convention-that is on July
Is and II. Postmistress Rosa Birch
and Miss Josephine Birch of the local
office expect to be in attendance at
that conference.

Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1923-06-28

The convention of the Ohio State
Sunday school association which
closed last Friday at Newark, was
remarkable in a number of ways, ae,
cording to the declaration of the of.
|ficials.
First of all the registration of del
egates was the largest in the history
of the association, over 1900, per
sons representing every county in
the state being in attendance.
The convention also was remarka-
BILE for the large program which II
adopted for next years work. One
of the principal parts of that pro-
gram will be the enrolment oil
$500 persons at $40 a year, whose
membership fees will supply $685.

will leave the amounts regularly re-
ceived from the Sunday schools to
be used in extension work. The
amount of money sought for the
years program is $4,000. This
will not only carry on the purpose
and program of the association but
will clear off it's Indebtedness.

MISS FAYE BLACKBURN
TO TEACH N PHILIPPINES

Miss Faye Blackburn, daughter of
Mrs. Jane Blackburn of Malta, has
been appointed by the U. S. govern
Ment as teacher of English in the
Philippine islands. She taught the
past year in Cincinnati in special
school, also took some advanced
work in the university of Cincinnati.
In her school work she gave the very
best of satisfaction, and was inform
ed that nothing of less Importance
than the trip to the Philippines would
have released her from the Cincin-
natl school, and was also informed
O0 leaving that if for any reason she
did not remain there, the place she
vacated in Cincinnati would be open
fer her should she care to return.
Each year the government selects go
Mnglish teachers for the Philippines,
and Miss Blackburn's receiving OF
enc of the appointments, came as
quite an honor. She arrived at her
h0me in Malta June Z and two days
later left for San Francisco, Cal, ar
irving there June 13, and the next
day sailed on the steamship Presi-
dent Lincoln. She is due to arrive
ia the Philippine islands about the

four days in the Hawaiian islands,
and while there, saw Mr.. Dean
Dearth who is in Y. M. c. A. work at
Honolulu. She will also stop for
several days in Japan and China.
She has contracted for two years.
Miss Blackburn was a former
teacher of this county, having taught

capable young woman, and there is
ne question as to her making good
in her new position.
