      GOVERNOR JOSEPH RITNER
     December 15, 1835 to January 15,1939

   Although less educated than any other governor, he is credited with
  preserving the School System when it was in danger of being overthrown.

   JOSEPH RITNER, the eighth and last governor under the constitution of 1790,
  was born in Berks County, PA, the 25 Mar 1780.  His father was JOHN RITNER,
  who emigrated from Alsace, on the Rhine.  In his youth Joseph worked upon his
  father's farm.  His only schooling was six months in a primary school at age
  six.  At the age of sixteen he moved to Cumberland County, where he worked as
  a laborer on the farm owned by JACOB MYERS, near Newville.

   In 1800 he married SUSAN ALTER, of Cumberland County.  Their offspring were
  six sons, and three daughter.  Soon after their marriage they moved to
  Westmoreland Coumty, and settled on a farm belonging to the wife's uncle,
  DAVID ALTER, in Washington County.

   The uncle possessed a good library, principally German works.  During
  Joseph's leisure hours, he delved, and what was wanting in education he
  himself corrected.

   In 1820 Joseph Ritner was elected a member of the House of Representatives,
  from Washington County, and for six years.  In 1824 he was elected speaker
  and was re-elected in 1825.  In 1829 he was nominated for Governor.  He
  received a large vote but was defeated by GEORGE WOLF.  In 1832 he was again
  nominated, received an even larger vote but was defeated again.  His third
  try in 1835 he was elected.

   In 1834 the law for the establishment of a common school system was
  passed.  Unfortunately, it proved unsuited to the wants of the State.  It was
  too perfect, so elaborately drawn, with the minutest detail provided for, that
  little discretion was allowed to adapt it to the wants of the diversified
  population of the various districts.  A provision, in 1835, was brought
  forward in the Senate for its abolition, and for substituting the system of
  1809, educating the poor gratis, which was carried.  In the house it was
  stopped by the appeals of THADDEUS STEVENS, who was wrought up to a great
  pitch of excitement while delivering his speech.  He took a position in the
  middle aisle where he had full freedom of action.  The vote was taken, and
  the friends of common schools won.

   Fortunately for the cause of education, the law was preserved intact.  Upon
  Governor Ritner's election he selected for Secretary of the Commonwealth,
  THOMAS A. BURROWES, a firm friend of education.  With the aid of GEORGE SMITH
  M.D., who was chairman of the joint committee of education in the two Houses,
  they drew up an entirely new bill, embodying the principles of the old law,
  but divesting it of objectionable features.  It was presented in 1836, and
  was carried.  It went into immediate effect, providing for the child of
  wretchedness and poverty equally with the most favored and pampered offspring.

   Toward the close of Joseph Ritner's life he manifested a lively interest in
  the success of the common school system, attending Teachers' Institutes in
  the County where he lived, and acted as presiding officer when near the age
  of eighty.  In 1861, the Normal School at Edinboro, Erie County, was
  recognized and adopted by the state, whereupon Joseph Ritner became an
  inspector, appointed by his old friend Thomas Burrowes, at the age of
  eighty-three.

   Governor Ritner always regarded his connection with the school system with
  singular satisfaction, and viewed the consummation of its adoption as the
  crowning glory of his administration.  He received the nomination in 1838,
  for re-election, but was defeated by about five thousand votes.  There were
  questions by many that he had been defeated by fraud.  A fierce struggle
  ensued, with some wishing the votes of the Northern Liberties be thrown
  out.  The struggle reached the point where Gov. Ritner ordering out the
  militia to keep order, and even had to call upon the United States
  authorities for help.  Order was restored, and the two Houses were again
  permitted to meet.  A majority of the House finally voted to recognize the
  election as valid and ended the contest.

   At the expiration of his term, Governor Ritner returned to private life,
  taking up residence near Mount Rock, in the county of Cumberland.  Possessed
  of a strong constitution and a powerful frame, he rarely complained of
  sickness.  In 1840, he was attacked by cataract in both eyes, and was for
  some time nearly blind.  By an operation performed upon the right eye, sight
  was completely restored so that he was able to read with ease the finest
  print.  So painful was the operation that no consideration could induce him
  to submit to one upon his left, and that remained sightless to the day of his
  death.

   In 1848, he was nominated by PRESIDENT TAYLOR, Director of the mint at
  Philadelphia.  He served for a short time, but before his nomination was
  acted on by the Senate, President Taylor died, and he retired, to make room
  for the favorites of PRESIDENT FILLMORE.  He was a delegate from PA to the
  National Convention which nominated JOHN C. FREMONT for president, and
  remained an ardent Republican to the end of his life.

   Governor Ritner was endowed with the faculty of memory that was almost
  miraculous, he never seemed to forget a name, event, or fact.  He could
  recall occurrences in his life, and repeat debates with surprising
  accuracy.  He never used tobacco or spirituous liquors, his convictions
  strong, his opinions once formed were rarely changed.  He died on the 16 Oct
  1869, in his ninetieth year.  His life was prolonged beyond that of any other
  Governor of PA.
