BAtfL, ARTIST Pool Room, Confectionery, Tobacco and Cigars. Opposite Hotel Bernard LAPORTE, PA Was Pennsylvania a "Laggard Commonwealth" in Establishing Public Schools? The education of all flic children in the common schools is of greater importance than the building of canals and railroads greater than anything else in the world, unless it be the training in the Sunday School and Church, and possibly greater even than that. Pennsyl- was not a "laggard" state in the establish ing of common schools for the free education ol all the children, rich or poor, white or black. In William Penn's "Frame of Government" for bis colony, dated April 25. ltiS2, it is said: The governor, and provincial council shall erect, and order all public In his:) the governor and provincial council, elected Enoch Flower, a teacher of twenty years experience, as school-master in Philadelphia and paid him for his services out of the public funds.

Upon the proclamation of the Declaration of Independence in Pennsylvania framed a provisional constitution in which it was provided: "That a school, or schools shall be established in each county by the legislature for the convenient instruction of youth, with such salaries paid to the masters by the public, as may enable them to instruct youth at low prices; and all useful learning shall be duly encouraged and promoted in one or more In accordance with this constitutional enactment a law was passed April 7, appropriating the proceeds of (10,000 acres of land belonging to the state in aid of the public schools. The constitution framed in 1700, provided that "the legislature shall as soon as conveniently may be, provide by law for the establishment of schools throughout the state in such a manner that the poor may be taught gratis, and that the arts and sciences shall be pro- moted in one or more seminaries of This provision of the constitution of 1 700 was first putin force by a law passed in 1S0S): "Requiring the assessors of each township, ward and district to receive from the parents the names of all children between the ages of live and twelve years, who reside therein, and whose parents are unable to pay foi their schooling," and after the county commissioners had examined and approved the list of names, they were to direct the assessor to.inform the parents of the children that they were at liberty to send their children to the most convenient school, free of expense. This law gave great dissatisfaction. The poor felt humiliated and refused to make the specified application to the assessors. Efforts to change this "pauper system" were unsuccessful until ISKS4, when the law providing for the free education of all the children in the state without distinction of wealth or color, was enacted.

The men deserving the greatest credit for the enact uent of this law were Gov. George Wolf, Thaddeus Stevens and Dr. Samuel Breck. CASTI; A it. ESTELLA.

Acting Sergernt Ol'tedahl and Troopers Tipton and Stiles, of the State Constabulary, who have been stationed here during the summer left for Wyoming on Thursday.

During their stay here these officers have made friends of every' one. They have conducted themselves in a gentlenninly and soldierly manner and take with them the good will of the entire community. Act ing Sergeant Ol'tedahl has show his worthiness to command and we predict a bright future for him if in the service. It is i only fair to the ball players of the Wyoming Valley to state that Tipton canuAip here with two home runs concealed about bis person. As be failed to rid himself of either of them in the ball games he took part in, he still carries two home runs in his system and will probably try to work them oft' on some team in the Valley.

We can state 11 with certainty that the stay of 1 these otlicers and the work tliey have done in Laporte and vicinity has given irtl a higher regard and respect for the State Police. We would like to see the same men or 1 others as good on the mountain top next summer. Every progressive town event' ually has its piped water supply, Who said Laporte is liot.in gressive class?
