Meadville. Pa, has come back to life.
Just century ago the abolitionist,
then a youth Of 26, but already a foe
of slavery. came to Crawford County
and bought a farm in Richmond
township. He remained only a few
years, but during his brief stay his
wife and 4-year-old son died, and
he buried them on the hilltop nearby.
In the years since many changes
have taken place in the farm, but
two tombstones still mark the resting
places of the woman and child.
Now the farm is being restored,

to bring it back to its original condi.

The Heatless Summer.

Even though the Able Gabriel did
miss out in his forecast of a Winter
of the bitterest cold for many CEN
turies, he certainly is in fair way
Of winning on his prediction of a
heatless Summer for the year 1926.
The weather of the past two or three
days has been of the kind to make
everybody take off their hats to the
Partisan priest-astronomer. Yesterday
morning the temperature dropped to
forty-eight degrees in this city, the
lowest June temperature recorded
since 1918. In all the records of the
Weather, Bureau the lowest June
temperature was forty-three degrees,
registered on the second of the month
in 1897. Able Gabriel put his pre-
diction in terms of centuries, a range
beside which the Weather Bureau
records are but the tiniest span.
A year ago this part of the country
was sweltering with the heat. The
maximum temperatures for the first
five days Of June in Washington
were, respectively, ninety.four, ninety.
seven. ninety-nine, ninety-nine and
one hundred degrees. In New York
Ave persons died from the heat dur
ing that period and thirty-four were
prostrated. Today furnace fires are
being kindled in many homes In this
city and overcoats are the common
wear.
Severe frosts have occurred in diff
ferent parts of the country during
May and it is possible that serious
damage has been done the fruit crops.
Should the Summer be d season Of
generally low temperatures such as
those already experienced the effect
on the crops would be serious indeed
If Able Gabriel's 'heatless Summer"
is an actuality not only the farmers.
but the consumers of the farmers
products, may need relief before Win
ter comes.

Albert Gallatin.

A bill passed the Senate the other
day appropriating funds for a ped.
estal for a monument to Albert Gal
latin, to be placed at the north front
of the Treasury Building in this city.
corresponding in position to the statue
of Alexander Hamilton at the south
front. The final enactment OF this
bill should be had at the present ses-
sion, to insure tardy but deserved
honor to one to whom the country
owes a heavy debt of gratitude for
valuable services rendered III the
early days of the republic.
Albert Gallatin, like Hamilton, was
a. native Of another land. He was
born in Geneva, Switzerland. and
came here at the age Of nineteen,
making America his home for the
remainder Of his long life. After
teaching in Harvard College he re-
moved in 1856 to Pennsylvania and
became a member of the State Legis-
lature. He was elected to the United
States Senate, but was declared In.
eligible. From 1895 to 1901 he served
in the House Of Representatives. In
the latter year he was appointed Sec
retaly of the Treasury, and for twelve
wears he held that post, demonstrate
ing himself to be one of the first
financiers of the time. During those
twelve years Gallatin was confronted
with many problems of the greatest
difficulty. The American financial
system established by Hamilton as
the first Secretary Of the Treasury
was in straits. Gallatins judgment
was sound, his methods were con-
structive and conservative and he met
crises with courage. A deep student.
he always sought for causes and
builded upon his sure knowledge OF
the fundamental economic laws.
In other than financial matters
Albert Gallatin rendered important
services to America. He took an i'm
portant part in the negotiations for
peace with England in 1914 and sign
ed the treaty Of Ghent. From 1915
to 1928 he was Minister at Paris, and
in 1926 he was sent to London as
Ambassador extraordinary. Thus dur
ing thirty.two years he was in the
service Of the republic. His fame
rests chiefly upon his financial labors.
and it is appropriate that his statue
should rise i'll front Of the institution
over which he presided for twelve
years, and IN the development Of
which he was so important factor.

raid. but very hard to keep sup
pressed. Generally a place of that
kind was run by a Washingtonian and
supported by Washingtonians. AS
long as the place did not break the
rest of people the law Of the county
was not much agitated. In the past
for at least fifty years-there were
ugly stories that Washington man
renting place on a quiet road or In
patch of pines and taking money
from visiting Washingtonians had a
certain influence with one or a few Of
the county constables, but it need not
be believed that such suspicious were
justified. But surely there was gossip
of that kind in the country around
Washington.
There Is a notable decline In COM
plaint against over.the.line drinking
and betting places, and it is believed
that there is abatement Of the evil.
The action of the constables and the
justices of the peace in the latest mat
ter of this kind is gratifying to re.
spectacle people in Washington and
Prince Georges County.

ops Hostel" Who has not thrilled
over such stories. and enjoyed similar
day dreams and night dreams? Many
have tried to make those dreams come
true. If all the money spent in hunt
ing buried treasure could be counted
it would probably overmatch all the
money and all the other valuables laid
in Mother Earth since the first one Of
her man-children dug a hole for that
purpose with fire.hardened stake or
pointed rock.
The Alabama case published in the
daily press was one where the burier,
hiding his wealth from the Union
forces during the Civil War, left a
key to his son. Working according to
its directions, a gang of workmen la.
bored for a week and finally came
across the hoard. Not only was the
amount satisfactory, but it was i'm
the form most in accordance with
ones visions-splendid yellow twenty
dollar gold pieces, all minted before
1850. Nine heirs have put in claims
for varying amounts. Even If all are
paid. the individual increments, after
deduction of expenses, should prove
highly gratifying. There must be a
lazy streak in all of Us. for while some
love industry more and others less.
and while some have more wealth
than others, and a few more than
they know what to do with, it can
safely be said that any person who
would not thrill at the thought Of OBJ
tanning an unearned treasure buried
beneath either earth or water is not a
normal human being.

THINK 1T OVER
What the Real Teacher Can DO
BY William Mather Lewis.
President. George Washington University

A teacher Is one who teaches. This
seems to be a self-evident PROPOSE.
tion, and yet great many members
of educational staffs do not measure
up to this standard.
1t is one thing to assign so MANY
pages of reading or so many problems
to pupil and then to ascertain by
rule of thumb what his record is for
the day. 1t is quite another thing
to lead the student through the pages
or the problems SO that he knows
what 1t is all about. Some so-called
teachers boast of the large number
Of pupils who have failed In their
work. They forget the sound educa-
tional principle that where nothing
is learned nothing is taught"
A distinguished clergyman once
said. II have instructed the sexton
that when the congregation goes to
sleep he shall wake up the minister" /"
When the average of failures in a
class is abnormally high some one
should wake up the teacher.
The most influential member of any
community is the real teacher; the
teacher who stimulates curiosity, a
love of learning, real mental control
and high ideals. Many a successful
man looks back with affection to some
teacher who quickened into life his
best qualities. who led him away from
absorption in the petty and the com.
monplace to the hills of vision.
Some day we will get away from
the policy OF building elaborate and
ornate school buildfngsHshow places
that flatter local pride-and devote
the major part of our educational
fund 10 decer& remuneration of real
teachers. realizing that in the hands
of our teachers lfe the business and
social and political fortunes of future
years.

EVERYDAY. RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, d. D, Ill. d.
Bishop Of Washington

, which consciously recognizes that
spiritual gifts are given for unselfish
use. Too many Of us think of our
religion in terms of a profession OF
faith, the acceptance OF a creed OF
system. We think of 1t IS expressing
our allegiance to something. 100
few of US think of it as being some
thing. The profession of a religious
faith and the benefits that accrue
thereto, have their value In the use
we make of them. The enrichment
of character, the result OF pro
found religious conviction, cannot ne

unctuous Sunday profession. Christ
made this clear in His parable OF the
talents. He excoriated the man who
selfishly and for Selfuse wrapped his
talent in a napkin. His praise was
only for those who use their talents
in the worlds market places.
There is too much that Is inarticu-
late about our religious habits and
professions. Donald Hankey discov-
cred this in his contacts with the
British tommies. His chapter on An
Inarticulate Religion" is strikingly
suggestive. If we believe that we
are the recipients of supreme gifts

the world we must dispense these
gifts to men through deeds of selfless
service. The world may not be great

sion, it is nightly Influenced by our
week day practice
Nothing is more convincingly ire
sistible than a life demonstration of
the faith we hold. Controversies and
discussions are silent in the presence
Of one who by his life demonstrates
his faith. Emerson had this in mind
when he said. What you are speaks
so loud l cannot hear what you say"
To truly live our religion calls for
something more than the tacit recog
milton of those great principles of life
that Christ enunciated. They were
not given for self-appropriation; they
were given for the betterment of hu-
man society. We are not repositories;
we are clearing houses. We grow in
character by enriching the character
of others. "No man liveth to him

man believeth to himself. Jesus said to

Pieces of Eight.

The Associated Press carried a story
day or two ago from Demopolis
Ala, which probably struck more re.
sponsive chords in the bosoms of
125.000,000 Americans than any other
sentimental, tragic. comic or aspira,
tional, could have done. An excavat
ing gang uncovered an actual, real
honest-to-gosh buried treasure; not
one of a few odd dollars or trinkets
but 100000 worth Of genuine gold
coin.
Breathes there man, or a woman
or especially a boy, with a soul sc
dead that he or she has not fancied
himself as the discoverer of valuables

chologist might be able to give good
guess as to how far back that dream

Trusteeship.
First Peter, iv.10:

First Peter. iv.10:
"As every man hath received the
gift, even so minister the same one
to another, as good stewards of the
manifold grace of God.
The worlds enrichment has come
from those who have been conscious
of their trusteeship, as the holders
and dispensers of the gifts committed
to them. 1t has been the men and
women who have been lowered with
rare qualities of mind and heart, and
who have used them for the benefit
of their fellows, who have been the
true benefactors of the world. II is
inconceivable that any one who Is the
possessor of unusual talents should
use them for himself. The world 8

There was an unusual feature in the

It is unreasonable to suppose that

in manner which compels everybody
