PARENT AND TEACHER Indifference at Home Keeps Many a Boy and Girl Behind His Fellows BLACKBOARD METHOD PRAISED Special School Instructor Finds It Good Thing to Make Students "Get on Their Own Legs" [This is the second of two ar ticles on the "special" schools of Harrisburg designed to give excep tionally blight pupils opportunity for rapid advancement.] By Mrs. Anna H. Wood In all schools, as well a» the "special," there are two kinds of pupils among the good workers, those who grasp readily only to later forget and those who are slow to learn but who retain the knowledge. Teachers everywhere prefer the latter type of child, for when examination day comes he shows to far better advantage the months of work and care expended upon him. It is only natural for tests given by a school supervisor to frighten or un nerve a school. To offset this the teachers in charge of the exceptionally bright children make it a rule to give them weekly tests on their various studies so that the dreaded unexpected visitor will find them prepared. Miss A. May Tittle, of the Relly building, considers blackboard work the very best method of trying out a pupil. f Continued on I'agu S] MOVING PICTURE CAMERAS CLICK AS FRENCHMEN FIGHT Sword Dnel Ends in Slight Wound; Wives of Principals Nearby By Associated Press Paris, March 13.—A sword duel fought to-day between Jacques Rlche pin, son of Jean Richepin, the "im mortal," and Pierre Frondaie, author of a play now being performed in Paris, resulted in the wounding of M.

Madame Frondaie, it is al leged, made some cutting remarks to Jacques Richepin's wife, known as Madame Cora Laparcerie. who is co manager of the theater. M. Frondaie took full responsibility for his wife's comments and was thereupon chal lenged to fight by M. Richepin. The encounter took place on the lawn of a house in the suburb ol; Xeuilly. More than a hundred nota blo literary and dramatic men watched the combat from behind hedges and windows, while numerous reporters, photographers and moving picture operators occupied a loft overlooking the lawn. The wives of both principals ap peared on the scene, but were not al lowed to watch the combat. They remained In the road outside in their automobiles, where they were sur rounded by crowds of women friends. They could hear the sounds of the clashing of swords from where they sat. During the second, M. Richepin's sword penetrated M. Fron dale's fore arm and the engagement was brought to an end. Jean Richepin then embraced his son and his wife threw herself Into his arms, khlle Madame Frondaie helped the surgeon to dress her hus band's wound. The combatants left the ground without being reconciled. HARRISBURG, PA., FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 13 1914.
