The Reproducing that has stood the test THE AMPICO Recently, at the Hotel Biltmore, New York, a scientific com parison took place between the pianoforte playing of Leopold Godowsky and the Ampico-Reproducing Piano. Mr. Godowsky played three numbers Chopin's THE Ballade in A Flat, Liszt's Etude de Concert, and TEST Chopin's Scherzo, C Sharp Minor, Op. 39. Immediately after each performance by Mr. Go dowsky, the Ampico repeated his performance from a previous recording by Godowskv. rhe comparisons were conclusive. The Ampico reproduce'! in every detail the actual Godowsky rendition. No other Instrument has ever been proven in such a test —Xo Other In strument Could Survive Such a Test! —— The Musical Superiority of the pianos combined with the scientific perfection of the Ampico has given the world an instrument of marvelous beauty GODOWSKY, Hofmann, Buhliug, Carrcno, Ornstein, and many other eminent pianists have recorded their interpre tations for the Ampico to the end that the Chickering-Ampico may play for you, in your own home, the exact reproduction of their renditions. The Ampico library of music is wide in its scope, covering every class of music—classic, operatic, ballad, i dance and popular-song music, at moderate prices.

STATE BOARD SITS IN PITTSBURGH Immense Value in New Build ings Reported by. Dr. Becht I All members of the State Board of j Education, including thoso recently named to the directing body of Penn- I sylvanta's educational system, attended j the meeting of the board in Pittsburgh ; to-day and the reports showed that the 1 cost of conatructlug and reconstruct | ing school buildings during the year I July 1, 1915, to July 1, 191ti, amounts to ?5,500,000, and this amount covers the cost outside of Pittsburgh and I Philadelphia only. In the former the amount oxpended for buildings and | equipment was $1,34t>,000 and in the j latter city $2,449,000. Thirty-one coun- I ties took advantage of the standard I plans for smaller buildings prepared ! and distributed without cost to the dis tricts by the State Hoard of Education. The greatest building activity Is shown In Allegheny, Luzerne and Westmore land counties. The permanent state school fund showed $240,000 invested in high-class securities. This fund comes from escheated estates and net receipts from forest reservations. The income only may be expended for thfe purpose of promoting practical education and for equalizing educational advantages throughout the commonwealth. Sev eral poor districts have been made the beneficiaries of this fund. The board discussed at some length the problem of dealing with the mat ter of consolidation and making ade quate provision for the many small schools that are scattered throughout the state. According to recent report, there are over 800 schools where the attendance is under 10; a number are reported where the attendance runs from 2 to T; in on district there are 9 schools with the largest attendance at 15 and the smallest 4. Special attention was given to the question of continuation schools. The policy of the State Board of Education in this special form of school activity Is to have the emphasis put upon the preparation of the pupil for Immediate service. The board's policy was ex pressed in a resolution "That the con tinuation schools are to be considered as industrial agencies and that their activities should be so administered as to promote immediately the in creased efficiency of the pupils." The board also took action on the preparation and publication of a sum mary of the school laws in several for eign languages—ltalian, Polish and Hungarian. j The board passed upon the agree ment to purchase the Millersville State Normal School. The contract calls for the payment of $4,725. This property is valued at $700,161 and the Indebted ness to be assumed by the Common wealth amounts to $34,000. Milersville is the ninth school to bo purchased. Negotiations are pending with Kutz town for the transfer of that property, j The value of the ten normal school ! properties purchased and under con sideration is over $5,000,000. ! The members present were William Eauder, James M. Coughlin, E. S. Tem pleton, John I*. Garber, Robert C. Shaw. Marcus Aaron, Dr. Nathan C. Schaeffer, president. Dr. J.

Reading Matter For a Whole Year For the Whole Family Is the Christmas Gift Extraordinary Which Is Herewith Offered Every family should have at least three periodicals—the best newspaper in its community, the best monthly magazine from the standpoint of broadening education and absorbing reading, and the best magazine devoted to women and the home interests. The Telegraph has made arrangements with two magazines the American Magazine and the AN oman s Home Companion so that you will not only be well provided with the right sort of literature for the year to come but will save money by obtaining your favorites through this combination offer. ] he 1 elegraph wants to carry its message ol construetiveness, good cheer and service into every home in and within fifty miles of Harrisburg and is pleased to associate with it two of the best maga zines in the field of periodicals to-day. The American Magazine To read The American Magazine regularly is like talking to a wise, experienced man. Because The American Magazine is made up of what other men have done—how they solved their difficulties, how they achieved success, how they secured good health. It is written by statesmen, doctors, lawyers, business men and by a staff of experienced writers who interview other men, until it is the most valuable publication that any man can read. It is not a mere business magazine, however. It has many bright, entertaining stories. It is a magazine for the whole family, but with the special idea of offering helpful suggestions on important questions. Woman's /.lome Companion If the Woman's Home Companion were a woman about your own age, and came to sec you once a month, she would be the most welcome guest and the most remarkable guest that ever set foot in your home. You never knew a woman who could tell such fascinating stories—you would sit up till all hours of the night listening to her talcs. You never knew a woman more inspiring. * You never met a woman who knew so much about so many different interesting things. A ou never saw such a hand in the kitchen—so many new ideas, as well as sensible notions about the every-day planning of the housework. You never met a woman, even if she had iust come from Paris, who knew so well the proper thing in gowns. , never met a woman who could tell you so well what other women were thinking, and doing, and eating, and wearing, and how they were bringing up children. If the Companion were a woman, instead of a magazine, you would be all a-flutter of expectancy when the time came for her arrival. That is just what the Companion is like. When you know it, you want the Companion as a guest in your home every month. A Convincing Offer! If you bought either one of these magazines by the month you would pay fifteen cents for it. Ona magazine purchased this way for the year would cost you SI.BO. Both magazines $3.60. Our plan will give you the magazines each month by mail at your home, promptly on publication date, for but a few cents more than this paper alone would cost. It is a big saving in convenience and money. This Is All It Costs The Telegraph by mail or carrier to the home $3.00; with The American Magazine and Woman's Home Companion for one year, $4.00. TUtJuly WBMANS HOME KEEP YOUR DATE WITH HER, FELLOW Beatrice Fairfax Has a Heal Grouch Against the Guy That Breaks 'Em \ By HKATIIU K FAIRFAX "I have been going about with a young man for the past four months. We have quarreled several times mid once we went jso far as to see nothing of each other for weeks because my friend failed to keep appointments," writes "Worried." "He begged me al ways to give him another chance, and faithfully promised to keep every ap pointment in the future. "I gave him another trial and for awhile he kept his promise, but now he seems to have forgotten that he ever made a pledge to me. lie professes to love me and claims that if 1 were to know why he does not put in an appearance X would excuse him. but when he does make explanations the excuses he of fers are not satisfactory. 1 am fond of him. but 1 doubt him." The sanctity of engagements Is a thing too many people fail to realize. It does not seem to come home to them that when they say they are to be at a given place nt a certain time they have pledged their word and that not being there is actually dishonorable. Probably your friend would not lie about anything he regarded as vital, and It does not occur to him that when he tells you he is going to come to sea you or to meet you at a certain hour and then fails, that he is lying to you. No matter whether his excuses bo gooa or ill, the point is they should be raadu in advance, not afterwards. Many men regard social engagements lightly and those concerned with busi ness seriously. Quite right us far as it goes. But any obligation one as sumes is still an obligation and u pledge of one's Word, whether it bo to meet a friend at the movies or to be present at a meeting of bank direc tors, tho point is that one's word is at stake. When a man Invites a girl to thu theater and finds that his sick mothei wants him to stay home or that his employer needs him, it is right and sane that he should choose family ties or business advancement in preference to pleasure. No reasonable girl ought to allow her inclination for pleasure to make her Interfere with filial duty or the best Interest of a man she likes. No woman, be she reasonable or otherwise, likes to have her own per- sonality valued so lightly that a man lets her sit around waiting for him and in lordly wise neglects to explain. 1 The man or woman who makes an engagement and falls to keep it. fan- 1 ing also to make explanation, stamps him or herself as one who does not be- 1 lleve either in the xacrudness of & vkhrnf 0 ° r rights of another indt- We should all form the habit of list ening patiently to reasonable explana tions. We should never get Into th > lordly and selfish habit of falling to keep appointments and calmly expect ing the other person to sit and wait. r. O. S. OF A. COX VKNTION Waynesboro, Pn., Nov. 20.
