6 SUPERINTENDENT BEEMER HILLSIDE HOME VINDICATED. FITZPATRICK WAS YIHDICITIYE The Home Committee Journeys to the Poor Farm Saturday and Examines the Inmates A Resolution is Adopted Fully Exonerating Mr. Beemer. The Iloiiie Committee of the Poor Board journed to Hillside at 9 o'clock Saturday morning for the purpose of investigating the charge of cruelty to inmates partialality and the giving of produce to a director preferred against Superintendent Beemer. The party consisted of Directors Tropp, Gibbons, Williams and 3Irs.

Swan, P. A. liarrett, of the Elmira Telegram, J. H. Blackwood, of the Tribune and a Republican reporter.

Shortly after 10 o'clock, the Committee convened in Mr. Beemer's office and summoned, several of the inmates to appear before them as witnesses. First to come was Alvin Space, a paralytic, who transcribed the petition, claiming that the inmates were treated cruelly and unjustly used by Superintendent Beemer. His evidence did not amount to much. The petition he wrote for Fitz patrick, the latter composing it.

The paper he tore into fragments ten minutes after writing it. He had only two complaints to make, once when he was sick he did not get his breakfast and again when he came there last he was wheeled from the Clarks Summit depot to the farm in his invalid chair. He had never seen any butter and eggs sent or taken away from the farm. The nest witness was Old Soldier Mc Hale. He has never seen anything suspicious around there, and had never seen any butter, eggs, or other produce taken away from the farm.

Fitzpatrick had told him that he was told it by a woman in Hyde Park. Richard Allen, another inmate, was questioned closely. He knew nothing of the question at issue, but stated iu a general manner that he could not be treated better than he had been by Mr. and Mrs. Beemer.

Jerry Coates, had been an inmate of the institution for some time and had always been treated with the utmost kindness by all hands. He bad heard Fitzpatrick talk of a sleigh ride party coming to the farm and eating at the house table. Mrs. Mack, the cook, testified that Fitzpatrick had been troublesome a few years ago, and that when Mr. Fowler was superintendent he had preferred charges against that gentleman and also that she bad had some trouule with him herself.

She knew that all had their meals for she bad seen to that department herself. Mrs. Swan offered the following resolution: The Homo Committee appointed by the Scranton Poor Board has thoroughly investigated the charges of partiality, neglect and of sending eggs and butter from the Hillside farm against Superintendent Beemer and has found the same without any foundation "whatever, and further be ieive it was mainly the revengeful utterances of an ingrate and insubordinate inmate of the iartu made while in a drunken condition. Our investigation has led us to believe that Mr. Beemer nas been and is treating the inmates confided to his care with uniform kindness and humanity.

Mrs. Francis B. Swan. John Gibbons, Charles 'Iropp, Daniea. Williams.

This was adopted and the committee returned to the city. ACCIDENT AT THE BLAST FURNACE George Lewert Fell Ten Feet, and Died lSefore Keaching Home.

Those who visit the Academy of Music this and to morrow evenings and Tuesday matinee will be likely to imagine that the Hal yon days of youth have returned, and that with the price of a ticket and peanut money, they were spending an evening with that old standby of the small boy the circus.

The stase has found many strange uses, but Messrs. C. B. Jefferson, Klaw and Erlanger's "Country Circus" has made it possible to have the circus in town the year round. "In all its gorgeous and fays the Chicago Journal, B.

Jefferson, and Er lanaer's 'County Circus' was given at Mc Vickers lust night. As a show, it more than fulfilled the measure of expectation, and was agreeably surprising in comic as well as dramatic interest. No such entertainment has over bten seen here, and an unlimited patronage should be accorded it. ''CRUISKEEN LAWN." Dan McCarthy, the well known author and actor who has given more solid enjoyment to lovers of Irish drama than uny author now living, is the author of "Cruis keen Lawn," his most successful piece, which comes on Weknesday.

The company has been with great care. LILLIAN KENNEDY THURSDAY.

"HANDS ACROSS THE SEA." The above picturesque drama will be presented on Friday and Saturday evenings. The New York Telegram says: "Hands Across the Sea" i3 an effective melodrama, fashioned to conventional lines, and embodying most of the well known expedients and fi atures of a class of plays that have their periods of supremacy and their years of disease, but with which the pnblio ia never entirely done. It is having large and enthusiastic patronage at tho Haytuarket, where it is well acted and handsomely produced. WEST SIDE. Dr.

or second reader after they have been under her care for a half year, she is likely to hear from it in a way that will be most unpleasant to her. It is to be hoped that the new movement iu favor ot a free Kin tergarten in this city will have the effect of giving instruction to parents as well as to children, regarding the real meaning of the term. The children cf the primary grade, as they come into the training school are taught only script for the first six months. They are led toward thought getting at at the preparatory lessons are employed iu becoming acquainted with the children end developing sympathy. MAKE THE CHILDREN TALK.

The next step is to make the child talk, with the view of finding out his vocabulary. This is done by judicious questioning. The theory being held that more mistakes are made by the teacher than by the child, who answers as he "sees" or comprehends, and the fault, if traced, cau usually be found with the questioner. All this time he is made to feel that he is necessary to the teacher and that upon his help her work depends. He is taught numbers up to ten, including everything that pertains to these numbers, such as the weights and measures en responding to each.

As far as possible everything is presented by means of a story, as the physiology lesson is a fascinating description of a cart and the load it carries on its journey illustrating the circulation of the blood. Breathing, eating, digestion, are discussed in the same way, with various matters that may affect his health. Incidentally, his teeth are examined as au object iessou, and often ulcers and other diseases are discovered which lead him to be willing to have the objectionable tooth drawn. MISS BOICE PULLS TEETH. It may be remarked here that Miss Boice, since taking charge of the training school in this city, has drawn over eighty teeth for the little children.

This is always done at their own solicitation, and only when she is perfectly assured of the propriety and need of snch a feat, as when the teeth are very loose or are injuring the child's general health by being allowed to remain. Many times she has been besought by a child to take out a tooth that she has utterly refused to allow touched by parents or dentist. She has tho most approved forceps and is most successful in her dental operations. She is often informed by a little one, "Papa says you've saved him a quarter." Writing is learned by means of tales in which capitals figure as "letters that live in a three story house," and an amusing description of a littlo boys' coasting expedition brightens every written sentence' until the class learns to form the letters correctly. Much scientific knowledge is gained by practical object lessons, but the main thought kept always before the girls is that they are not to strive after rtowery effects, and that none of the so called "show work" is to be countenanced.

STUDENTS IN THE TRAINING SCHOOL. The school is open without tuition fees to all graduates of the High School. The youug women who have been devoting their time to the methods of teaching here during this year are Misses Bertha Conger, Cora Preston, Eliza McNally, Mary Powell, Clara Neimeyer, Mary Shields, Maggie McGrath, Bridget Norton, Nellie Fox, Bridget Judge, Alice Evans, iMary Hurley, Mary Hollitt, Maggie Durkin, Lizzie Snow, Mary Hastings, Jennie Gavan, Mary McHale, Mary Coleman, Mary J. Jones, Mary Murphy, Maggie Paddeu, Agnes Evans, Mary Graham. Of these some have received appointments and others act as substitutes.

Besides those named the following have been students at sometime since the opening of the school Misses Nellie Benjamin, Jennie Bonear, Gertrude DeGraw, Abbie Denman, Julia Gavigon, Helen Jones, Kate G. Mali.i, Nellie Maloney, M. E. McHale, Bellu Morrow, Maggie Murphy, Nettie Nye, Ella Osland, "Josie Rafter, Maggie Vipond, Sophy ade. Far from being a menace to the State Normal Schol9, as some have supposed, the training school is an inspiration that leads the enthusiastic teacher to wish a wider development than it offers.

The training school, as in progress here, only alms to give the foundation for later work. Its methods teach the four fundamental rules so thoroughly during the first four years of a child's school life that when he reaches the grammar department the teacher finds him so well grounded in what he has gone over that he is prepared for very much more difficult work than the child who has been crammed according to the modern curriculum, which the primary and intermediate teachers have been obliged to follow or be considered unprogressive. The young girls who take a thorough course in tho training school cannot be but invaluable iu their assistance to the teachers of higher grades in sending them pupils who have not been hurried beyond their capacities to learn. As it has been, the most capable primary teachers and there are no more euthusistic teachers in these grades than are to be found in Scranton was not allowed to kbep her pupils long enough to give them more than the vaguest ideas, iu the most mechanical manner. The training school methods will probably make a revolution in this, and the parents and school boards will grow to understand that making haste slowly will accomplish the most good, especially with very young pupils.

AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION. An tirroucou impression nas been somewhat freely disseminated among the city teachers that the training school is sort of self constituted critic which exists weights, in regular lota as well aa odd and end pairs, we are making liberal efforts in the reduced prices of most standard goods, tailored on our premises.

Collins Hackett, 220 LACKAWANNA AVE. chiefly to set up a standard of the "I am better than thou" variety, but this idea docs not prevail among the more advanced and thoughtful. That this impression is utterly absurd, needs only to be proved by the dissatisfied person making a visit upon the department in question where nothing but the kindest feeling is evident. More harmonious work is never seen, and a general spirit of helpfulness and kind thought one for another are evident.

That tho young teachers who go out as substitutes are carefully instructed as to the attitude they must assume, is shown by the following principal direction given in their outine: "On the first day do no direct teaching, but see that you do not undo the work of the teacher ia discipline. She will soon make up the teaching lost. It is more important to keep order and not discourage her school. On the second day look at her programme and try to follow it as best you can. On the third day you may be able to teach one thing as the teacher does." Of course when permanently employed the pupil from the training school is expected to apply as far as possible the methods she has been studying, but in justice to these young girls who are receiving appointments from time to time let it be said that they go about their work with a generally sw et uncriticising spirit, as one aim of Miss Boice is to have them realize that they do not know everything, that they are only at the entrance of a beautiful vocation which they can ennoble if they attend strictly to their own" affairs and allow the unjust attacks that may be carelessly aimed at them to pass unheeded.

BETOKT THEIR INDIVIDUAL WORK. Perhaps one sectiou of their outline, which the trainer has given them, is much misunderstood and this is the rule that each young teacher is required to bring a written or verbal report of everything she does while substituting. This only applies to her owu individual work, and is not, as some teachers have fancied, an unkind criticism of the methods of her superiors. This would not be countenanced for a minute by Miss Boles, who has more than enough to do in trying to guide and help her class, some members of which only study uuder her care for so short a time as to be entirely unfitted to assume the responsibility they receive, but who try very hard indeed to imitate the methods they have seen so successfully practised by the teacher they all revere aud love. Miss Boice devotes much of her time outside of her regular hours to working with the girls.

Many a durk and stormy night she has trudged to remote and unfamiliar portions ot the city because some discouraged teacher in the night schools needed her advice which could best be given on the spot. Nearly all her Saturdays are employed iu meeting wiih her girls to taik over their wurk and go through with drills, these valuable helps sustain them in many a trying situation the following week.

The teacher always welcomes theso visitors most heartily be cause their new ideas gained from constant instruction of the trainer are most helpful. It is to be hoped that the training school has come to stay, and that as the months go by the slight prejudice which whs originally felt against it will die a natural death as the results of the excellent work become more evident. At least it should be understood that it is not a school for critics and that neither its principal nor pupils have presumed to compare their own efforts with the splendid work of the other teachers who have accomplished so much in this city. last year we told yon In this paper something about thq Chilton Paints, how they are made from the best materials that can be bought, how they are mixed by machinery, and how we turn out a paint superior to any paint cow made.
