These
layers are again made up of very thin layers, called laminae.
They also saw evidence
that the stratum, in former ages, had been
so folded and crumpled as to produce great
fissures, breaking the layers into rudely
rectangular blocks.
In some p’aces these
fissures have been filled up with quartz,
thus forming veins in the stratum. Having
studied these general features of the ridge,
the class fell to examining the fossils, which
are found in quantities, in several places.
Fossils of lamellibranchs and of coral formation were found, thus indicating that the
stratum had been formed in the Upper Silurian Age of the Paleozoic Era.
Finally, they finished their investigations
by climbing to the top of the ridge and taking a general survey of the country, while

to the year 1S00,- with additional chapters on
the part taken by Pennsylvania in the Civil War,
the growth and effects of the public school system
and the development of Philadelphia in the present century. It is a general history of the State
as a whole, with full accounts of the romantic
early settlement of the province under William

and Indian Wars, and the fierce struggles of political parties in the Revolution, when the success
of the movement for the liberty of all the Colonies depended upon the position taken by the

to the year 1S00, with additional chapters on

Her address cannot fail to be of

Following the Commencement exercises
a meeting of the Alumni Association was
held, at which some important business
was transacted, which is noted elsewhere in

Are Our Teachers’ Institutes Highly
Profitable ?
There is no doubt in the mind of any
one who is familiar with present conditions,
and who has not, as G. Stanley Hall wauld
say, “grown numb” under them, that the
educational institution most in need of a
radical reform is the county institute.

increased in force and keeness it surely
was no comfortable time for poor folks.
The days became ever shorter and more
gloomy, and if it were dark even outside in
the open air, it was yet darker inside in
the small, old houses.
One of these houses
turned its gables toward the street and
stood there with its small, low windows,

God had just given it a child.
There
sounded from the church-tower across the
way the deep, joyous notes of a bell. It
was a solemn hour, and the song of the bell
filled the praying mother with reverence
and faith
the thoughts of her inmost
heart rose up to God
she was filled with
infinite joy, and the bell over in the tower
rang out, as it were, her happiness over
city and country.
Two clear child-eyes
looked up at her, and the hair of the little
one glistened like gold. The child was received on the earth on the dark November
day with the clang of bell the mother and
father kissed it, and in their bible they
wrote
“On the tenth of November, 1759,
God gave us a son.’’ Later it was added,

he had received the
name Johann Christoph Friedrich.
And now what was to become of the poor
little boy of Marbach ?
Surely at the time
no one knew, not even the old churchbell,
however high it had hung and had first
sung and rung over him over him, who
should sometime sing the beautiful song of
the bell.
Well, the boy grew up and the

never yet reached by any Normal School)
the total number would not suffice to nieet
the needs of the state.
If, however, the Normal Schools should
happen to turn out more teachers than
could be at once employed none of the
education given them would be lost and the
State would be the gainer in having just
that many well trained persons in the community, thus tending to raise its educational standards to a higher level.

Normal Trained Teachers.
A
misapprehension seems
to exist in cer-
quarters concerning the work done by
he Normal Schools of the state. One of
he Philadelphia dailies recently asked
‘What is to become of all the brand new
pedagogues that are being trained for ser/ice ?” intimating that the supply of teaches is greater than the demand. That this
s not true is shown by the fact that, in
Pennsylvania, in round numbers, 3000 new
eachers are employed each year to fill the
vacancies caused by death, marriage, change
)f occupation and so forth.
The great maority of this demand is to be met by the
STormal Schools as the college trained
eacher is rarely to be met with in grades
pelow the High School.
This being so it
nay easily be seen that the educational
