Brumbaugh's early life was one of such discouragement that few men rarely race and emerge successfully. He virtu ally educated himself by working at the college table and acting as a janitor. He shouldered a family debt at 16 years of age, and saved his father's property from the sheriff's hammer. If there is any man who has come to the governor's chair by dint of his own industry, achieving every advancement from his own education, to bead of the schools in Philadelphia, It la Dr. Brumbaugh.

He is an upstanding product of German thrift and Industry and rugged honesty. Superior Court Judge George B. Orlady. of Huntingdon county, recently related I to the writer the long struggle of young Brumbaugh In his home county, graphic- ally picturing his battles with adversity and tight for preferment. Brumbaugh came to, Judge Orlady's notice when the former was seeking election as Hunting-' don county superintendent of schools.

"He asked mo if I were In favjr of his election, and what I thought his chances would be?" Canvassing for Votes.

Message to Men. This bis view, his messare, as It were, to the college men of Pennsylvania, may be taken as an epitome of the character, the life purposes of the governor-elect, and the rule that will guide him In his four years as the chief executive of this commonwealth. Brumbaugh Is, perhaps, one of the best-known men in Pennsylvania, aa an educator and friend of the schools. Ills popularity won for him the greatest support given a governor in recent years. What he has done in a public way, first aa a county superintendent, later as the organizer of the schools in Porto Itic'o, more recently In the schols of this city, are fresh before the minds of the present day.

The human side of the educator, his everyday life, and his Innate modesty and the human side, the most Interesting, Is known only to his intimates. As a dramatic, human force, rather than aa an educator, Dr. Brumbaugh appeals to his friends as one of the most lovable and likable characters. He hasa magnetlam that seems almost cultivated, yet Is perfectly natural, and Hows from his sympathetic soul. He is as ihe Germans say, "all soul of boundless sympathies." The atmosphere of his personality Is borrowed from the sunny climes of the South.

He is always bright and cheerful, kindly and considerate of his inferiors. Powerful Athlete. Dr. Brumbaugh Is a rugged, healthy figure of a man, a perfect product of outdoor life and truly representative of his German stock. He Is the picture of a powerful athlete, erect, and towering over six feet He Is Impressive of the physical giant, rather than the intellectual.

Nothing In his appearance betokens the lines of a student or recluse. His leonine head, double-barreled square jaws, and thick yet well developed body, recall to mind one of the characters In Wagner's operas. The most striking facial characteristic of the man la bis craggy, beetling brows. Ills keen, discerning, kindly glance travels beneath this abundance of hair, overhanging his steel eyes. If the ethics of his profession permitted, Tr.

Brumbaugh would be an Ideal club man. He likes companionship and the good fellowship of the club house. He is a born comrade, fond of the society of his fellows and the Interchange of wit ot the dinner table. As a long-time member of the Five O'clock Club, and a former president of this dining club. Brumbaugh ia a free-from-car'e man of the world, and the best entertainer of that club of good fellows As a toaatmaster Brumbaugh presides with ditailty.

He left Judge Orlady's office, walked through the county and won over an older man. In his trip over the country, seeking the support of the directors, Brumbaugh reached the home of the late James Harper, a fine, sturdy, Scotch-Irish farmer, and asked him for his vote-Harper informed him that he favored one of his opponents. It was late at night vhen Brumbaugh visited the farmer. "Come in, anyhow, and get something to eat. If you have no other place to go I will be glad to keep you over night," cheerily said Harper to Brumbaugh, nbout to continue his canvassing.

During their talk ir the course of the evening Harper asked Brumbaugh If he were any relative to the boy who had hi fathor float the telrersnh coles he previous summer. "Mr. Harper, I happen to be that boy," he replied. "In that case I will support you, and will tell the other man that I cannot support him." Dr. Brumbaugh was elected by a ma- iority of one vote, and at the age of 23 I.

Instead of paying their debts these men bought more than they were earning, said the judge. When Dr. Brumbaugh was 18 years of 1 age and teaching In Juniata 'College, and 4 thol tinclA 1 1 a farmer, went to him one day and saidrl "Vour father's property has been at-1 tached. It will have to be Bold at sheriff's i Bale. and it is due to the fact that he would not collect his accounts, and the owe him more than he owes, but rfp."

-The church had a conference at James tcreek over this matter, and they decided that If you would take charge of your father's business as soon as you become th congregation would get together, each one put in what he and give the money to me, and I am to buy your father property at snenn a sale. I will give him notes, and the members of the congregation and I will hold the property as my protection until you pay off those notes, and when you pay off those notes I will deed the property back to you I and your father. You are under age; you cannpt do more than give me your word. Will you do it? A Staggering Load. "That was a staggering load to put on a young man's shoulders, but Brumbaugh never wavered, and said he would assume his father's debts.

The members of the church gave such sums as they had and took his -Uncle Henry's notes, and he went to the sheriff's sale, got the sheriff 's deed for the property. When Mr. Brumbaugh became of age the first business he undertook to pay that debt. This business was a contract to fur- nish telegraph poles to the Pennsylvania Railroad. After school and on Saturdays and on holidays and all through the summer young Brumbaugh worked to get out the poles.

Finally after the poles all out they were worked down to the river to a boom at Ardenheim, where they were to be delivered f. o. b. It was in July, and young Brumbaugh worked all day, and by the light of the moon at night, to get these logs oyer the shoals, because the river was low. Suddenly there came a heavy rain which resulted In a freshet that carried the poles down into the boom, smashed the boom and sent those poles all the way down the Juniata to Harrisburg.

There was nothing for young Brumbaugh to do but to take a canthook, and, with his father, they worked down the river, rolled the logs In and floated them to the nearest railroad station, where they were loaded. The two slept In barns, lived on milk and what they bought from farmers and followed those poles all the way to Newport. In spite of the mishap Dr. Brumbaugh has since told me that he cleared $2,100 on that contract." Member of Durikards. Dr.

Martin G. Brumbaugh was elected a preacher In 8ttl. In Philadelphia he regularly attends the services In the First Church of the Brethren, on Dauphin street, just west of Broad street, a con- gregatlon which lately celebrated Its cen tennial anniversary. It has been said that Dr. Brumbaugh leaves his business behind him when his day Is done and when he goes away for a vacation.

This vacation is likely to lead to some fishing ground. A more devoted disciple of Izaak Wal- i I 1 has been made on a conservative ana comprehensive plan, and will finally include crippled, deaf, blind and many other types of defectivity. Dr. Brumbaugh wishes to preserve the cultural influence of the public schools, above every other Interest, and to avoid industjjal innovations would be destructive. He would not, however, deny the two- century-old principle of Comenius- "Knowledge must be turned to use.

A policeman came along and arrested us for throwing stones at the consular sign. We explained that we had hit tho sign by accident while aiming at tho windows, and that, in any case. It was the Inalienable right of Americans to -stone their own consul's sign if they felt like it. He said he always had understood wo were a free people, but, "without meaning any disrespect to you, sir, throwing stones at your consul's coat-of-arms Is almost, as you might say, Bir, making toe free." He then told us Col. Swalm lived In the suburbs, and in a a taxicab started us toward him.

He acted as though our pulling him out of bed at 2 in the morning was intended as a compliment. And for affixing the seal to our passports he refused to accept any fee.

We protested that the consul generals of all other nations were demanding fees. "I know," he said, "but I have never thought it right to fine a man for being an American."

But of them also all men speak w-ll. At the last election one of them was a candidate for the United States Senate. He was not elected.

The reason Is obvious. It is that the people are so well pleased with him and our other ambassadors in Europe that, w'hile the war continues, they would keep them where they are. (Copyright. 1914. by the Wheeler Synffeate, Inc.) This Is the third ef Kirhard Harding Davis special war articles.

'Secret influence Is the strongest enemy of our republic," said Charles W. Eliot, and on this rock nearly every superintendent in the country has at one time or another found himself." Work in Philadelphia. In discussing Dr.

Brumbaugh's record In the Philadelphia schools, Stanley Johnson writes to the Boston Transcript, in part, as follows: Notable among Republican successes in the recent election was Pennsylvania's decision to make Dr. Brumbaugh governor. As Philadelphia's superintendent of schools he has shown brilliant gifts of administration and qualities even more valuable, among them a lofty notion of public service and a capacity to inspire others with the same view. The state has made no mistake in calling this faithful servant to be steward over many things. "Philanthropy," Dr.

Brumbaugh says, "has in the newer ideals of the school a most important and significant place." Early in the year the people of Philadelphia were alarmed at the report that the Pittsburgh School Board had endeavored to tempt Dr. Brumbaugh from his unfinished task with a higher salary; but the association of many years with the educational interests of the Quaker City, both in the University of Pennsylvania and as the directing spirit of the public schools, was too strong to be so broken. Speaking of the altruistic side of his activities. Dr. Brumbaugh told the writer that because of former connections with the university there was "no operation too difficult and costly in the realm of surgery as practiced in the medical department of the institution that he was not able to provide free of all expense to the needy child In the public schools." Added to his technical gifts as a schoolman.

Dr. Brumbaugh has been exceptionally fortunate in enlisting the wholesome interest of the best citizenship of Philadelphia to the support of his broad Ideals of reconstruction, introducing into school work a sympathetic tincture of sociological and philanthropic elements. He classified the activities of a perfectly-rounded educational system into four groups intellectual, physical, social and moral "all legally possible, if only they were financially so. In the first of these agencies are "Home and School Associations" free lectures, district high schools, schools for the mentally defective, schools for the mentally retarded, other special classes, school gardens, vacation Bchools, trade schools, clr- ton it would be hard to find In a day xearch.

Again, ior two or three summers he and his family occupied a cottage on a small Island in the St. Lawrence, where the attraction was the opportunity to fish. Very recently they have gone to Wayne, near Winthrop, in Maine, where in the lakes perch, bass and TOtlt abound.

nt Author Of JsCtlOOl iJookS. Dr. Brumbaugh has devoted himself to active teaching and executive work rather than to producing books. Still he has A DOOKS- BUU ne na 'ound time to write a number of school books. He has also published the "His- tory of the German Brethren In Europe and America." "The Life and Works of i-nristopner jjock ana tne Matter 01 a Teacher." Another of his works, written In collaboration with Joseph Walton, is called "Stories of Pennsylvania." The real man Is known only to his friends and co-workers.

Brumbaugh is popular wim tnose ne meets occasionally He is loved by those who know him. He has been the friend of the teachers, and stories of his devotion and kindness to the men and women grown old in the service have shown him to be a man of deep- feympathy. One of these has to do with a woman, who. because of the infirmity of age and mental derangement, had to be dropped from the service. She' visited the office of Dr.

Brumbaugh, almost haunted It, seeking reinstatement. This he could not grant her, but he listened patiently to her appeals and recital of her troubles. One day he crept from his office, tears in his eyes, leaving the poor unfortunate behind. He emptied hie pocketbook, borrowed all that an associate had and sent his secretary to the woman with a big gift. Such things he did in one form or another almost daily.

It is an old saying that the real man Is known by the way he treats animals. Dr. Brumbaugh almost humanizes pets. He has always shown a fondness for dogs. When he was superintendent of schools in Huntingdon county he had a fox terrier.

Spot, which accompanied him everywhere on his trips in his carriage from schoolhouse to schoolhouse. Dog as Campaigner. This dog would sit up in the seat beside the young educator. He became as familiar to the school children and the farmers of the country as the superintendent himself. Before this dog died he was called the "associate," because of being the constant companion of the head of the schools.

There Is another dog that occupies the same place In the heart of the governor-elect. He is called Fritz, and rides on the front seat of the doctor's motor. He will go to Harrisburg and romp with the Front street children who play In the park fronting the executive mansion. Fritz has a good time of it in the Brumbaugh home. He gets his dinner, or rather his dessert, with the family.

As the coffee is served Fritz appears, and is asked: "To which college will you go when you grow up Harvard, Tale, Princeton, Cornell. Lafayette, Pennsylvania?" Instantly, at the last word, Fritz leaps up and seizes the cake the doctor has held in his hand. Dr. William Lauder, an associate of Dr. Brumbaugh on the School Code Commission, has given this appreciation of the governor-elect: Brumbaugh is not a desk adminiRtra- He believes too much in people to be content to push buttons and handle rubber stamps! Always, he is seeking the personal touch with the men and women who work with him.

No unexpected 'orders' go out from his office. If a big thing is to be done, he gathers his staff about him and 'talks It "The Idea is never a small one, nor Is it ever a selfish one. In a short time he will have the most reluctant opponent on his side as an enthusiastic supporter. He has large vision, a sure Insight Into the movement of events and an intense con vlctlon amounting almost to religious er, requiring a solid basis of facta as to the definite plan of procedure. The story of the investigation into the subject, conducted by a committee of principals and members of the staff of the education department, is a valuable document for any city, planning to inaugurate a special work in elementary education, that will soon become general.

MANY CHASE THE BUCK. At Least 1,000 Deer Hunters in Pennsylvania Forests. LEWISTOWN. Nov. 14.

The open season for big game opened this fall under the most favorable conditions, clear, crisp and with Just sufficient frost to dampen the leaves and permit stalking game with the minimum of noise. The number of hunters said to be now encamped in the seven mountains has been estimated at 1,000 and as deer are plenty and tame the slaughter is certain to be great. For several years past a large percentage of the venison killed at 10-day and season camps became tainted 'from the excessive warm weather and either had to be thrown away or eaten under protest. This year facilities for rushing the meat to the cold storage plant here have been arranged so that it will be on ice within a few hours of the killing. Fully two-thirds of those-in camp in these mountains took to the tall timber through Center county and via Petersburg, Barree and Spruce Creek, from whence their trail lies over Tussy Mountain, the coalons and the Diamond Valley.
