Leader (1918-2013), a native of York, Pennsylvania, rose from the anonymous status of chicken farmer's son and Gettysburg College undergraduate to become, first a State Senator, and then the 36th governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A steadfast liberal in a traditionally conservative state, Leader spent his brief time in the governor's office (1955-1959) fighting uphill battles and blazing courageous trails. He overhauled the state's corrupt patronage system; streamlined and humanized its mental health apparatus; and, when a black family moved into the white enclave of Levittown, took a brave stand in favor of integration.

  • A Smart Choice for a Solid Start: Pre-K Works – So Why Not PA?
    A Smart Choice for a Solid Start: Pre-K Works – So Why Not PA? What do Governor Tom Wolf, former governors Tom Corbett, Ed Rendell, Mark Schweiker and more than 130 Democratic and Republican members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly have in common? Give up? They all have been strong supporters of high-quality pre-k for Pennsylvania’s 3- and 4- year olds. Over the past three years, our state policymakers have increased commonwealth support by $90 million to ensure nearly 10,000 additional at-risk children are able to attend a high-quality pre-k classroom. And, this budget season is no different as Governor Wolf has proposed another $40 million increase. Children only have one chance to be preschoolers and benefit from early learning opportunities. They don’t get a do-over when the commonwealth is on better financial ground, or policymakers agree that it’s their turn to be at the top of the budget priority list. Today in Pennsylvania, there are only enough public funds to make high-quality, publicly funded pre-k available to 39 percent of at-risk 3- and 4-year-olds. As a result, many low- income families cannot find or afford high quality pre-k essential to their children's success. A growing body of research has shown that by the age of five, a child’s brain will have reached 90 percent of its adult size with more than one million neural connections forming every second,i but not every child is provided with the stimulating environments and nurturing interactions that can develop those young minds to their fullest potential.

  • In God We Trust” Originated from a Columbia County President Judge
    “IN GOD WE TRUST” ORIGINATED FROM A COLUMBIA COUNTY PRESIDENT JUDGE By André Dominguez The following excerpt from a 1937 WPA booklet in the Society’s Depression-era Works Progress Administration collection makes some interesting claims: Fifteen judges have filled the office of President Judge in Columbia County since the formation of the county from a part of Northumberland, by Act of Assembly of March 22, 1813. Two of the judges later became state Supreme Court Justices and one became governor of Pennsylvania. One of the judges of the county courts, Judge Ellis Lewis, appointed in 1833, later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. Judge Warren J. Woodward, who served as judge from 1856 to 1861 became a Justice of the Supreme Court and Judge James Pollock, who was appointed in 1851 later became Governor of Pennsylvania. Judge Pollock served in many public offices and was director of the mint at Philadelphia. He was the originator of the motto ‘In God We Trust’ that continues to appear on United States coins. At first glance it would appear that a local Columbia Countian, James Pollock, had become very well accomplished, but I could not recall that the county had produced a governor or that the famous motto had its origins in Columbia County. WPA booklets have a wealth of information, but although usually correct, they rarely include any citations to indicate their sources. The claim that someone associated with Columbia County originated a motto that appears on U.S. currency used by millions of people around the world seemed pretty bold.

  • Pennsylvania Female College in Harrisburg
    Papers Relating to Harrisburg Women At first glance this section might appear to be papers written by women of Harrisburg – but in the English tradition the Christian name Beverly was employed for males. Accordingly, the first author, Beverly R. Waugh, was not a female – in fact he named his daughter Beverlina, which was then the accepted feminized form of the name. In truth, Beverly R. Waugh is the collector and not the author of the articles presented in the first paper. The material reproduced in this volume of The Chronicle has been selected from a scrapbook kept by Mr. Waugh during his tenure as principal of Pennsylvania Female College in Harrisburg. While the scrapbook likely remained in the possession of Mrs. Waugh until her death in 1908, no one can account for its whereabouts for almost 100 years. It was purchased by the conference archives last year from a Camp Hill antiques dealer, who had recently acquired it from a collector of local memorabilia – in whose Harrisburg attic it had been stored for some unknown period of time. Hidden between the lines of the articles is a most revealing picture of the place of females in mid nineteenth century America. Following the lead article that paints a broad picture, the remaining papers present in chronological order more detailed examinations of particular Harrisburg females and their Methodist involvements. Each is based on a document housed in the conference archives. Taken together they lead the reader on a journey through the eyes of area females from the days of the earliest circuit rider to the modern era.

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Dr. Benjamin Rush's Journal of a Trip to Carlisle in 1784 YOU know I love to be in the way of adding to my stock of ideas upon all subjects," Benjamin Rush observed to his wife in a letter of 1787. An insatiable gatherer and recorder of facts and observations, Rush kept journals throughout his life—some continuously over many years, like his Commonplace Books recently edited by Dr. George W. Corner as part of Rush's Autobiography; others for brief periods or for special purposes, like his "Quack Recipe Book" in the Library Company of Philadelphia, his Scottish journal in the Indiana University Library, and the present little diary of a journey from Philadelphia to Carlisle and return in April, 1784. This diary consists of twenty-three duodecimo pages stitched at one edge, and is written entirely in Rush's hand. Owned by a suc- cession of Rush's descendants, it at length came to light in the sale of the Alexander Biddle Papers at the Parke-Bernet Galleries in New York in 1943. (It will be found listed in the Biddle Sale Cata- logue, Part I, lot 219.) It was then purchased by the late Josiah C. Trent, M.D., of Durham, North Carolina, who, when he learned that the present writer was investigating Rush's part in the founding of Dickinson College at Carlisle, very kindly furnished a photostatic 443 444 L. H. BUTTERFIELD October copy of the 1784 journal, together with permission to use it in what- ever way seemed best.

  • History: Past and Present
    CHAPTER 4 History: Past and Present Cumberland County has a rich history that continues to contribute to the heritage and identity of the county today. Events in the past have shaped the county as it has evolved over time. It is important to understand and appreciate the past in order to plan for the future. Historical Development Cumberland County's origin began in 1681 with the land grant to William Penn by King Charles II of England. Westward colonial expansion produced a flow of settlers into the Cumberland Valley, including many Scotch-Irish. James Letort established a trading post along the present-day Letort Spring Run in 1720. Prior to the American Revolution, large numbers of German emigrants moved into the area. The increasing number of settlers required the need for a more central governmental body to provide law and order. At that time, Lancaster City was the nearest seat of government to the Cumberland Valley. Through the Act of January 27, 1750, Governor James Hamilton directed the formation of Cumberland County (named after Cumberland County, England) as the sixth county erected in the Commonwealth. Its boundaries extended from the Susquehanna River and York County on the east to Maryland on the south, to the border of Pennsylvania on the west, and to central Pennsylvania on the north. Shippensburg was established as the county seat and the first courts were held there in 1750 – 51. The county seat was moved to Carlisle in 1752. Other counties were later formed from Cumberland County, including Bedford (1771), Northumberland (1772), Franklin (1784), Mifflin (1789), and Perry (1820).

  • Pennsylvania Magazine of HISTORY and BIOGRAPHY
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY The Campaign to Make Pennsylvania a Royal Province, 1764-1770, Part I OYAL government was one of the perennial panaceas of colonial Pennsylvania politics. In every decade individuals and groups, unhappy with the way the province was being R 1 run, proposed it as a solution to their problems. Friends espoused it as willingly as Anglicans, the Quaker party as willingly as its proprietary counterpart. Few professed to fear it, many expected to profit from it, and all who solicited it failed. 1 During its early years Pennsylvania did, of course, experience royal government (1692- 1694). In the first decade of the eighteenth century, the Anglicans were constantly pressing for it, going so far as to try to sabotage the operations of provincial government to provoke the Crown to intervene and take control. During the 1720's Sir William Keith was believed to be scheming to overthrow proprietary government and have himself installed as royal governor. Under Gov. George Thomas (1738-1747), the Quaker party was constantly buzzing with plans for royal government; "it became a common practice for the Quakers and their sympathizers," William Shepherd observed, that "when any carefully concocted political schemes were balked, to threaten to petition the king to assume the government." In the 1750's, as we shall see later in this paper, the Quaker party was again bubbling with plans for royal government. See Gary B.
