The following historical sketches of important institu- tions of Shenandoah were received by the publishers too late for insertion in the history of that borough :
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Prof. Bartch was elected borough superintendent on The first step toward the advancement of education in the first Tuesday of May, 1875, and the borough of Shenandoah became an independent school district. Among those who aided, encouraged and unflinchingly supported the superintendent in every effort to improve the schools in those dark days were Jonathan Wasley, Thomas J. Foster, John Cather, Hon. J. B. McCamant, Captain G. W. Johnson, J. H. Mears and William Krick.
Shenandoah was the erection of a two-story frame school house on Lloyd street by the Mahanoy township authori- ties in 1864. This building when completed contained one room on each floor, and two teachers were employed. In 1866 educational affairs were vested in a borough school board. In 1867 the " brown school house " was purchased from the township by the borough school au- thorities; the two rooms were divided into four and four teachers were employed. In 1868 another change was made in the rooms and five teachers, one male and four females, were secured. In 1869 an additional teacher was employed, and in 1870 a store-room was rented and fitted up for a school-room, and the first working boys' school was organized. In 1871 eight teachers were em- ployed. The over-crowded condition of the schools now rendered it apparent that a new building was neces- sary to accommodate the pupils; accordingly in 1872 a three-story brick building, having six rooms, was erected on the corner of West and Center streets. This was the second school building in the borough and was called the high school building, though no room was fitted up with a view to such a department. In 1873 a change of principal occurred and the number of schools was in- creased to thirteen. Attempts had occasionally been made to grade the schools, but as yet with little success, consequently discipline and instruction were very defec- tive. From the organization of the schools in 1864 until the close of the term in June, 1874, the schools were but but poorly managed.
more were added to take charge of night schools for the benefit of the working boys. Some of the most essential branches, which had been entirely neglected, were intro- duced, and the first course of study for all the schools was adopted.
In consequence of the rapidly increasing number of pupils another three story brick building was begun on White street in 1874, which was completed and occupied for school purposes the following year, when nineteen teachers were employed for graded schools, one for a mixed school and two for night schools. During this year also the borough was divided into five wards, thus increasing the number of school directors from six to fifteen. The course of study as well as the whole system was carefully revised and many improvements were added. In 1876 twenty competent teachers were selected for the graded schools and one for the mixed school. A local teacher's institute was established, which convened semi- monthly and which has since become permanent by the regulations of the board.
The high school building was erected on Main street, North, during the year 1879. It cost, when completed, including furniture and steam apparatus for heating, but not including grounds, nearly $10,000.
The school system, began here in 1874, has advanced to a high state of excellence. The course of study adopted is practical and comprehensive, and those who complete it are well prepared for business life, or for col- lege, or to enter the senior class at any of the State nor- mal schools in twenty-one weeks (the time prescribed by law) previous to graduation. Gymnastics forms an im- portant branch in every department of the school. The first class to complete the full course graduated in 1879. G. W. Bartch, M. S., has been superintendent since September, 1874. He is the originator of the present
In 1874 the school board elected as a district superin- tendent, who should spend his whole time in the discharge of the duties of his office, Prof. G. W. Bartch, B. S., then of Danville, Pa. His first business was to grade and organize the schools. The buildings were repaired, and the school rooms were properly fitted up and furnished. Fifteen teachers, including the principal of the high school, J. C. Purcell, were selected, and afterward two system and course of instruction, and merits the renown

which he has gained throughout the State as an educator.
Prof. Theodore R. Johnson has been principal of the high school since September, 1876. Miss Agnes Buck- ingham, M. S., is first assistant, and Miss Nora Robbins, M. E., is second assistant of the high school.
The number of teachers employed for the year ending June Ist, 1881, was twenty-eight. The total number of school children within the borough is at present about 2,400. The number enrolled in each department for the year ending June Ist, 1881, were as follows: In the high school, 80; in the grammar department, 323; in the primary department, 1,700.
Captain G. W. Johnson was president of the school board from 1874 until 1880, and was succeeded by John Cather, the present incumbent. The present board of directors consists of John Cather, John G. Davis, William Krick, William Philips, S. G. M. Hollopeter, P. J. Fergu- son, Josiah W. Johnson, Jacob Williams, M. P. Fowler, Charles Hooks, G. W. Johnson, Jasper Wylam, John W. McCarty, M. P. Whitaker and J. C. Purcell.
WILLIAM KENDRICK.
The subject of this sketch, whose portrait appears on the opposite page, was born in Wrexham, Denbyshire, North Wales, August 17th, 1819, and with his parents emigrated to Nova Scotia in 1832, where he worked in the coal mines. In 1835 he went to Rhode Island, where he also worked in the coal mines. In 1836 he moved to the Schuylkill coal region, where for the next fourteen years he was employed in various mines, either as workman or mining boss. In 1851 he made his ven- ture in the business of mining coal, and with varying success he has continued it ever since. Many of the best mines in the Schuylkill region have been located and developed under his direction, and either as lessee or owner he has worked many others. In 1872, on the organization of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Company, he sold to them the St. Clair shaft, Key- stone and Indian Ridge collieries, which he was then operating, and continued in their employ as mining su- perintendent for several years, when, his health failing, he resigned and went to Europe. On his return in 1875 he again went into the business, and opened mines in the Clearfield bituminous region, which he afterward dis- posed of to the Beaver Run Coal Company; and also the Stirling colliery, in the Shamokin anthracite region, in which he still retains an interest. During the labor troubles from 1867 to 1872 he was president of the An- thracite Board of Trade, and by his strict sense of justice in dealing with questions between operators and employees won the admiration and esteem of both. He is a man of splendid physical development, of strict integrity and correct habits. There is perhaps no man living who has had a more thorough practical knowledge of the coal mining business; and he has for many years been an authority on the coal formations of the first and second anthracite coal fields.
THE MINING HERALD.
The Shenandoah Herald was established as a weekly on the 28th of May, 1870, by Thomas J. Foster and Henry C. Boyer. The borough of Shenandoah then contained but 2,500 people, and the paper has been improved and its influence and circulation have increased as the town has grown. On the 21st of August, 1875, a daily edition was issued, which was continued until the 16th of Nov- ember, 1878. The Evening Herald, which was the title of the daily edition, was commenced at the time when murders and outrages were being committed throughout the region by the " Mollie Maguires." This paper was the first to take a bold and outspoken stand against the murderers and demand their punishment. The Herald continued the fight until the society was exposed and broken up, and those who were guilty among its members either punished or driven from the coal region. The Herald is now published as the Mining Herald, by the Mining Herald Company, limited. It devotes special attention to the sciences as applied to coal mining, to im- provements in mine machinery, etc., and it circulates in all sections of the country where coal is mined. The editorial staff consists of Thomas J. Foster, Joseph C. Powell and Herbert W. Gable. Mr. Henry C. Boyer still maintains his connection with the paper, and is pres- ident of the company which publishes it.

MALACHI C. WATSON.
Malachi C.Watson, son of Michael and Bridget Watson, was born in Pottsville, March 31st, 1845. His parents were natives of Athlone, County Roscommon, Ireland, and emigrated in 1844, first locating in Pottsville. A year or two later the family removed to Valley Furnace, near New Philadelphia, where the father died in 1848, leaving two sons, Malachi and James. The latter, born August 29th, 1846, was killed September 14th, 1861, while attempting to board a moving coal train at Glen Carbon. The mother subsequently married Martin Delaney, now of Shenandoah, and soon after removed to Port Griffith, Luzerne county, but after a short residence there returned to Schuylkill county.
Malachi remained with his mother until nearly eighteen years of age, then engaged with his uncle, Michael Hig- gins, as a boatman, and during the war was employed in transporting government supplies by boat from Philadel- phia to Washington and Alexandria. After following this occupation nearly a year he returned to Schuylkill county, and in February, 1864, came to Shenandoah, then in its infancy, and was for five years engaged in mining. He was married to Ann Monaghan, daughter of Bryan and Margaret Monaghan, of Ashland, Septem- ber 30th, 1867. In the spring of 1869 he removed to Ashland, and was in trade there six years. In 1872 he purchased a lot on Main street, in Shenandoah, and the same year built his present business block. In the spring of 1875 he returned to Shenandoah, where he still resides, engaged in the wholesale liquor trade and acting as agent for several large brewing establishments. He is also pro- prietor of one of the finest livery establishments in Schuyl- kill county, and carries on the saddlery and harness bus- iness. In 1876, inspired with a desire to see the birth- place of his parents, he sailed to Ireland, visited Athlone and many other places in that country and England, and returned the same year. He is a successful business man, prompt and just in all his dealings, kind and char-
