STOCK SAYS SITKA POWER PLANT DOWN
 FOR LONG PERIOD

MT. R. H.

Mills power plant at Sit ka. recently much damaged by the flooding Sawmill Creek waters, will be ready for operation again
 In the recent flood, the waters, which three weeks before had risen to within Is inches of the power house floor, reached a new high mark and not only took out the pipe line and fumes, but swirled about the generating machinery within the plant, causing much damage.
 It-had been intended to make al- terations and repairs on the plant to the extent of about $50,000, but it is now estimated tn at mu c h more than that will be required to put the plant back into position. Although not completely destroyed, the generating equipment will re- quire much conditioning.
 In the meantime, the city of Sit- ka is being lighted by electricity generated at the new Sitka Cold Storage plant.
 MT. Stock reported that a camp has been established and consider able work done on the project it. self for the road construction job being done by his firm there. A large load of equipment has re- gently been brought to the Sitka job from Petersburg, and more will be moved there very soon.

After some time at Miami,
Professor McGuffey, whose in
terest lay in the field of litera-
ture and philosophy, was ten
dered professorship of mental
philosophy. He carried on theo-
logical studies privately and on
March %, 1929, he received his
ordination into the ministry of
the Presbyterian church, with
the degree of doctor of divinity.
McGuffey recognized the
dearth of reading material in
the common schools of the time.
He had a keen literary sense and
was able to select much that APP
pealed to young minds. It was
this selection of lessons from a
wide range of authors that
caused him to name the readers
McGuffey Eclectic Readers.
To read them is to catch a
glimpse of the stern reality of
life in the America of the Nine
teenth century. Humor is alb
sent from every one of them
from McGuffey's New First
Eclectic Reader, from which the
smallest children learned their
ABCs and were fascinated by the
quaint woodcuts of birds and an
imals, to the New Sixth Eclectic
Reader, a 456-page volume of
solid and forbidding type, de-
scribed on the fy-leaf as "Ex-
ercises of Rhetorical Reading
with Introductory Rules and Ex-
amples."
Moral Lessons
All of the stories in this vol

some of the poems were set to
music for singing. At the end of
the book were the Ten Com
mandments in verse and this ex-
hortation:

above,
And as thyself thy neighbor
love-"
Back in the eighties every
child was told more than once
by his parents: eff at first you
don't succeed, try, try again!"
They got that maxim from a
poem in McGuffey's New Fourth

In 1886 Doctor McGuffey left
Oxford to accept the presidency
of Cincinnati college. In 1889 he
became president of Ohio univer-
sity at Athens. In 1874 he re-
turned to Cincinnati and served
as professor at Woodward col
lege, afterward known as Wood
ward high school.
In 1845 McGuffey went to the
University of Virginia as profess
sor of philosophy. He was pop
ular with his students and he
taught, says one writer, with the
simplicity of a child, with the
precision of a mathematician,
and with the authority of truth"
An old friend left the following
description of DR.. McGuffey: "a
man of medium stature and
compact figure. His forehead
was broad and full; his eyes
clear and expressive. His fea-
lures were of the strongly
marked rugged Scotch type. He
was a ready speaker, a popular
lecturer on education, and an
able preacher"
DR.. McGuffey's conscientious
ness was proverbial When he
was nearly seventy-three years
old he prepared 50O-page book
on philosophy. 1t was the result
of ten years of careful research.
But he was so critical that after
the book was already in type he
decided that it was not worthy
of publication and ordered it
withheld. He remained at the
Virginia institution until his
death on May 4, 1873.
But he had lived to see his
readers selling into the millions
and extending their influence in
to other lands by being translat-
ed into many foreign languages.
How great that influence was is
impossible to estimate. But there
is no doubt that their serious pur-
pose, their kindly spirit and their
high moral tone made children
of an earlier generation better
men and women today. At least,
that is the unanimous testimony
of the devoted members of the
McGuffey Societies-thousands of
Americans in all walks of life.

- purpose to celebrate
the one hundredth anniversary
OF the publication of a book
but more particularly to honor
the memory of the man who
wrote that book by unwilling
a statue of him.
The man was William Holmes
McGuffey and the book which
he published in 1886 was the
first of the McGuffey Eclectic
Readers. OF him it has been
said that che was the most pop
ular American of the Nine

had the largest influence in
determining the thoughts and
ideals of the American people
during that period and the man
to whose work many great
Americans of the present day
pay tribute as being the foun-
tain of their inspiration to
aspire and to achieve"
That is why many American
authors, editors, edu-
Gators, industrialists, statesmen
were present when the statue,

leading sculptors, was unveiled

of the crowd there was made up

other, and that the worst suf-
fering of all-that of loneliness
or bereavement-need never be
an actual desolation; for there
is always someone ready to
salve the deepest wound with
the balm of sympathy, and the
warm clasp of some comfort

kind eyes are the surest proofs
that the heart under its human
aspect has the power to call
the hidden soul to life.

On those farms a boy or girl with
my appetite for literature was a
frog in a desert. The thirst was
satisfied and, more important,
was stimulated to aspiration for
further satisfaction by an old
dog-eared volume of McGuffey's,
the standard school readers of
my day. My mastery of the first
and second readers-just the
opening of the marvels of the
