LIEUT. MORT ON TRIAL
     —————
Defense Asserts Law of Humanity
  Prompted Officer to Cross Border. 

  BROWNSVILLE, Tex., March 22. —
The defense in the court-martial trail
of Lieutenant John E. Mort of the
Fourth Field Artillery at Mercedes,
which opened this afternoon, aimed to
show that it was "the higher law of
humanity" that prompted the officer
and a detachment of men to enter Mex-
ico several months ago to rescue two
of their comrades whom they believed
to be in the hands of bandits.
  The prosecution charged that Mort ex-
ceeded his authority in ordering his
men to Cross the border.  Several troop-
ers drowned in the attempt to swim the
Rio Grande River.

DR P. R. Mort is HONORED
 
Rutgers  Confers  Honorary
  Degree on Columbia Educator

     Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES
  NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., June
1—The honorary degree of Doctor
of Letters was conferred today
upon Dr. Paul R. Mort, director of
the Advanced School of Education,
Teachers College, Columbia Uni-
versity, at the commencement exer
cises of the Rutgers University
School of Education in the Gym-
nasium.
  In making the award Dr. Robert
C. Clothier, president of Rutgers,
praised Dr. Mort for his contribu-
tion to study of the school fi-
nancing problem.  Degrees were
awarded to 225 person by Dr.
Clothier.
  Development of a community
understanding of the Problems
of education is more important than
the level of teacher training, wealth
of the community or the expen-
diture level in maintaining school
liveliness, Dr. Mort declared in his
commencement address.

New York Times, May 13, 1962;

PAUL R. MORT, 68,
EDUCATOR, IS DEAD

Professor at Columbia Led
   Government-Aid Studies

  Dr. Paul R. Mort, Emeritus
Professor of Education at 
Teachers College, Columbia
University, died of a massive
Coronary Yesterday in his home
at 4662 Iselin Avenue, River-
dale, the Bronx.  He was 68
years old.
  Dr. Mort was at Teachers
College from 1924 until his re-
tirement in 1959.  At that time
he also retired as executive of-
ficer of the college's Institute
of Administrative Research but
continued to act as a consult-
ant.
  Professor Mort Advocated
more extensive education for
the nation's children, and he
served many committees and
government commissions to ad-
vie on education programs.
  He called for increased fi-
nancial support from the state
and Federal Government for
education but warned at the
same time against the govern-
ment usurpation of power from
local school boards
  "People must look to the
schools as the only thing they
can give their children," Pro-
fessor Mort once said.
  Last year he directed staff
studies for the state Educa-
tional Conference Board, which 
represents New York's major
organizations concerned with 
educational policy.  He directed
the preparation of a forty-three-
page report entitled "A new
Approach to School Finance:
1961 Review of Fiscal Policy
for Public Education in New
York State."
  The report called for almost
$100,000,000 more in state aid
to education for New York City.
     Guide for the 1980's
  Earlier he had been among
sixty educators who drafted a
guide to help communities meet
the educational needs projected
for the Nineteen Eighties.  The
plan is expected to be finished 
in 1965.  It was Professor Mort
who first advised such planning.
  Professor Mort saw educa-
tional needs as an ever-changing
pattern.  His work took him into 
other states and onto many
lecture platforms.  He wrote a 
dozen books on the subject and
many papers and newspaper
articles.
  In 1937 Professor Mort headed
the National survey of School
Finance, a two-year study under
the auspices of the Federal Gov-
ornment.   The report said that 
more than one-third of the na-
tion's school children were not
receiving essential instruction.
It called for educational fi-
nancing by the state as a whole
rather than by the local com-
munities.
  In World War II, the profes-
sor served on the advisory com-
mittee to the Civil Aeronautics
Board and as a director of the 
Board's Air Training Cadets of
American, an organization to
give pre-flight training to
youths 16 to 18 years old.
  Dr. Mort originated the 
equalization formula for state
aid adopted by the Friedsam
committee in New York State
in 1922.   The formulas has since
been adopted by three-quarters
of all the state.
  He recently originated a re-
vised plan, which has already
been adopted by Rhode Island
and is being considered by Del-
aware and Maryland.  It was
the basis of the Diefendorf
Commission report to the New
York State Legislature this
year.
     Founded Study Council
  In 1942 Dr. Mort founded the 
Metropolitan School Study
Council, a group of seventy-two
school systems in the New York 
area.  Its purpose is to improve
education through cooperative
research.
  He founded the Associated
Public School Systems, com-
prising 230 systems throughout
the nation and developed a plan
for cooperative research with
the New York State School
Boards Association, known as
the Central School Study, which
comprises more than 400 school 
systems.
  The Metropolitan School
Study Council was the fore-
runner of thirty-five other
councils in the United States.
Dr. Mort was to be a lead-
ing speaker at the Council's
annual superintendents' confer-
ence, which will open today at 
Arden House.
  A native of Elsie Mich., Dr.
Mort received his Bachelor of
Arts degree at Indiana Univer-
sity in 1916.  From then to
1922, he was a teacher and ad-
ministrator in Indiana and Ari-
zona.  He came to Columbia in 
1922 to study for his master's
degree, and remained to join
the faculty at Teachers College.
  Surviving are his widow, the
former Miss Mildred Willey of
Indianapolis, and tow sons, Paul
R., Jr., of Briarcliff Manor,
N.Y., and David Mort of Ches-
wick, Pa.

U.S. PENSION OFFICE
MAR 17, 1883

         I G.F. Hoop late surgeon of the 84th Reg. Pa. Vols. Do
hereby certify that I first became acquainted with Adam Mort Private
of Co. C 84th Reg. Pa. Vols. At Camp Crossman in Huntingdon Co. Pa.
About the 10th of October 1861. He was at that time to all
appearances a sound and healthy man. But some two or three weeks
after that he took cold from the causes incident to camp life and had
an attack of pleurisy for which I treated him and he recovered and
assumed his duties as a soldier in camp but additionally had an
attack of asthma which (lengthened his stay) from duty. He (spent)
Christmas with the Regiment and marched with (them) in the later part
of December 1861 to Virginia via Hagerstown Md,  Cumberland Md.,
Martinsburg Va.  to Winchester Va. And he took part in the battle of
the later named place about the 23rd day of March 1862 and from there
he marched with the command until the Regiment camped near Warrington
Va. About the middle of May 1862 at which place he again became so
much afflicted with asthma that he was unable longer to discharge the
duties of a soldier in camp or field and I sent him with a (group) of
other debilitated soldiers to a convalescent camp near Alexandria Va.
After which time my business of him ceased. It now appears from
official papers in his pension that he remained there until February
1863 and was then discharged on Surgeon's Certificate of Disability.
     I further certify that I have no interest direct nor indirect in
the prosecution of this claim and that these facts are ??? from a
medical examiner's report, of camp and field notes, and from personal
recollection of the man and his treatment.

They said Adam did not actually fight at G'Burg, but assisted in the
troops' resupplying. That was all they had for me. Here's the poem
Adam's wife wrote in the Girardville paper, enjoy:

    THE MINERS AND LABORERS
 -----------------------------

It was on a Monday morning,
All in the month of May;
The birds were sweetly singing,
Sending forth their joyous lay.

Yes, it was on that beauteous morning
The second day of May;
In Eighteen Hundred and Seventy,
That our Miners had their day.

They were all attired so decently,
Quite neat from top to toe;
They wore white gloves upon their hands,
As white as driven snow.

They gathered in great numbers,
>From district and from branch;
And like noble hearted heroes,
To the Depots did advance.

There were iron steeds in waiting,
Deck'd with colors bright and true,
It was our Nation's colors,
Yes, it was Red, White, and Blue.

Those iron steeds did snort and prance,
The fires did briskly burn,
And to the borough of St. Clair,
The wheels did swiftly turn.

Thanks be unto those gentlemen,
Who so faithfully did repair,
To address those hardy sons of toil,
>From district far and near.
Through Port Carbon and through Pottsville
Did march this gallant band,
And so well did they conduct themselves,
As though princes of the land.

Their behavior was becoming,
As thus they marched along;
Which made, full many a one to cheer,
Our noble Miner's throng.

They wore the star upon their breast,
And colors of the Nation;
As a mark of faithful friendship,
And of their Association.

Their handsome banners waving,
High in the balmy breeze;
The music sweetly sounding,
Through Valleys, brush and trees.

All hail the Miners' banner,
All hail them ever true,
All hail the star upon their breast,
All hail Red, White and Blue.

God speed their Picks and Shovels,
Although they've long laid still;
The Needles and the Scrapers,
Likewise the Sledge and Drill.

Success to the toiling Miners,
To the Laborers their mates;
Success to all dear little boys,
Who work at picking out slate.

Long life to all Miners and Laborers,
And God guide them in wisdom way,
Be they ever one in friendship,
Success to the W.B.A.

HARRIET MORT:                                          GIRARDVILLE,
MAY, 1870

     We thank Mrs. Mort for her noble poem; it gladdens our heart,
the smiles of the ladies are encouraging, and old pugnacity of
Pottsville set it down, that the Miners are not only united and in
favor of the W.B.A., but the Miners Wives' too, God bless them.

numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 in section 85. Subject to exceptions as in the
deed from John Brock to George Mort Aug 17, 1858. George Mort on Jul
1, 1868 made an agreement of sales with Lewis P. Garner and William A.
 Christian, t/a Garner and Christian for the premises. Mort died
before giving a deed, so the OC was asked to make an order of
specific performance which was made Apr 25, 1870 directing a
conveyance upon payment of the purchase price balance. On Mar 13,
1871 the court determined that the dower of M. F. Mort, the widow,
had not been divested by the sale by George Mort in his lifetime and
that therefore the balance due should be paid to the widow upon her
executing a deed for her right of dower.

NOTES:
D.B. 105-261 has the agreement, recorded Dec 7, 1868

OC 14-576 is a proceeding for the sale for the payment of debts

State of Pennsylvania
Schuylkill County

Personally appeared before me one of the J.O.P.s in and for Schuylkill
County, ADAM MORT, who being duly sworn deposeth as follows. I am a brother
of JOHN MORT, deceased, who was a private in the 96th Regiment Pa. Vols. I
was in the 84th Regiment Pa. Vols. Our Regiment, the 84th, was lying in
Alexandria Virginia when the 96th Regiment under Gen. McLellan returned
from the seven days fight in retreat. My brother John Mort, when I met him
first about one week after he arrived in Alexandria, was in the hospital at
Alexandria. He was in very bad health at the time, and suffering from
chronic diarrhea. He was so weak that he could not stand alone when I saw
him. I received my discharge at Alexandria and left there for Washington to
receive my pay, and left my brother John in the hospital at Alexandria.
When I received my pay I started home to Ashland Schuylkill County, Pa. My
brother John returned home some weeks after that. He come home much
reduced, weak, and sick. The diarrhea stuck to him until he died, about a
month or six weeks after he returned (July 22, 1863 date of death as per
Doctor John H. Yocum, attending physician). He never worked after he
returned. His physician’s name was Doctor John H. Yocum. He attended to him
in his last days of illness. I don’t know where Doctor Yocum lives now. I
have not seen him for 10 years. I was at the funeral of my brother John
Mort when he was buried with the Honors of War. I know Mrs. Mary Ann Mort,
his widow. I was at the wedding when Mary Ann and my brother John were
married at Tuscarora, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania by Aaron Reber,
J.O.P. His widow, Mrs. Mary Ann Mort is still living and has three children
living, Fanny, George, and John. Fanny Mort was born on the 16th day of May
A.D. 1854. George Mort, the second child, was born April 25th 1856, and
Jno. Mort was born February 21st 1860. In answer, I am in no way interested
in the result of the application of Mrs. Mary Ann Mort in Pension Claim
no.181,225. I expect no benefit from the result in any way.

Sworn and subscribed this 23rd day of February A.D. 1878
                                                               Adam Mort

State of Pennsylvania
Schuylkill County

Personally appeared before me one of the J.O.P.s in and for Schuylkill
County, Mrs. Mary J. Wetzel, wife of Daniel K. Wetzel, who being produced
by the claimant as a witness, and after being duly sworn, deposeth as
follows.

I am 42 years of age and have lived in the Borough of Ashland, Schuylkill
County, Pa. for 27 years. I am aquainted with Mrs. MARY ANN MORT, widow of
JOHN MORT, deceased; now living in the state of Ohio, and have been
aquainted intimately with both Mrs. Mary Ann Mort the claimant for pension
in number 181,225 and also her husband, John Mort, now deceased for 27
years and upwards. They having lived the most of that time in the place
Ashland and close neighbors of mine. I knew Mrs. Mort before she was
married to John Mort. I remember well the time that John Mort enlisted in
the military service of the Untied States. It was in the year of 1861. He
appeared to be enjoying good health at the time, and was considered a
healthy man. I can’t tell how long Mort was in the service of the United
States, but he was absent some 18 months before he returned home. When he
returned home, he came home weak and sick with chronic diarrhea. I had
heard repeatedly from his brother GEORGE MORT that John Mort, husband of
the claimant, was sick in the Army and that he was suffering much from the
disease. This I heard from different ones. I can’t tell exactly how long
John Mort lived after his return home, but it was not many months. I would
say only about 4-5 months. He died as I was informed and believe from the
said disease. He was buried in this place. He was buried by the soldiers
with Military Honors. I know that Mary Ann Mort, widow of John Mort is
still a widow and has 3 children living. I have no interest in this case.

Sworn and subscribed before me                          Mary J. Wetzel

Union Times Vol. 52 Mt. Union PA August 2-7 1925 


I was born in 1843 and spent my life here until 1867. I
believe I had a knowledge of those who were residents of this vicinity
during that important and exciting time which included the Civil War,
and the exciting events which led up to the war. I would like to speak
of those who were my neighbors then.  . . . .
