Slate Bulletin Quotes What He
Says About the Rural
Teacher's Home
The State Board of Education has
incorporated In a bulletin extracts
from the report of County School Su
perintendent T. C. Shambaugh. The
board gives special attention to Ilia
recommendations for proper homes
for teachers in rural districts.
The extracts say:
"We have experienced considerable
difficulty in filling some schools this
year because of the fact that the
teachers were unable to get suitable
boarding places near the school. The
situation should be made the subject
of thought on the part of directors
during the coming year. Every rural
teacher should board in the commun
ity and become identified with the
■work of the community. Many
teachers are obliged to live under con
ditions which preclude them from
doing the best work. Every teacher
should be provided with a warm room
apart from the confusion of the com
mon living room. The lack of a
boarding place together with the low
salaries Is responsible for the exodus
of many of our best teachers from the
rural schools Into the town where
living conditions are more congenial.
In many cases teachers in rural
schokls are obliged to board in some
nearby town, coming to the commun
ity in the morning and leaving in the
evening. Thus it often happens that
the influence of a good teacher is lost
to the community."
, Superintendent Shambaugh recog
nizes, too, that "A natural corollary of
good schools is good roads. The suc
cessful teacher's interest will lie far
beyond the four walls of the school
room. Any movement that will make
,#e community better and happier de
mands the earnest teacher's support.
Wc have learned that the isolation of
a community increased directly as the
roads are poor. If we lay aside the
usual dry-as-dust textbooks in civics
and give the pupils some real live les
sons in the way of creating a better
citizenship we shall speedily discover
that this topic will afford unlimited
opportunities in this direction. The
subject can be most successfully cor
related with language, arithmetic,
geography and history. Appoint a
road patrol who shall report on the
condition of the roads, teach them to
make small models of the different
kinds of roads and have a cross sec
tion to show the construction of the
same. Arithmetic problems can bo
based on the cost of transportation on
good roads as compared with the same
on poor roads."

Overworked, His
Nerves Gave Way
Too Busy Mnking Money to Take
Care of His Health, He
Says
INVIGORATED BY TAXT.AC
"We were so busy out at the works
that we were working double shifts,"
says Walter Reid, an expert steel
maker, of Steelton, Pa., "and I was so
busy making money that I didn't take
care of my health and first thing I
knew I was on the verge of a corn
plate nervous breakdown."
"I didn't get enough rest to let my
body build itself up after the tre
mendous strain and I got so that I
couldn't sleep more than an hour or
two a night and I had to force myself
to keep up the pace."
"My appetite all went to pot and I
' igan to feel fagged out, always tired
and miserable: I was melancholy and
didn't feel that life was worth living.
"Then I read about Tanlac in the
papers and I saw where so many llar
rlsburg folks were praising it so I got
a bottle and started in on it."
"Say, it put me on my feet again
In just about two shakes of a lamb's
tail. Fixed me right up so that I
feel as good as I ever felt in my life.
I got back on the job quick and before
very long I'll be driving away double
shift again."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
lonic is now being specially Introduc
ed here at Gorgas* Drug Store where
the Tanlac man is meeting inquiries
and explaining the merits of this
master medicine.

Youth of Wealthy Family
Taken to Ellis Island When
His Father Is Stricken
New York. Dee. 18. Cortes Valdez
Alvarez, the 14-year-old son of Manuel
Valdez Alvarez, a leading dry goods
merchant with a string of stores
throughout Spain, was taken to Ellis
Island to-day from the Spanish liner
Buenos Aires in port from Cadiz.
Young Alvarez's father was carried
ashore on a stretcher helpless from
apoplexy and taken to a hotel. The
United States immigration law per
mits no aliens under 16 years of age to
land unless accompanied by the par
ents or legal guardian and the immi
gration inspector stated that under the
circumstances he had no other course
to pursue than to send the boy to
Ellis Island.
Representatives of various New
York dry goods concerns tendered any
bond that might be required by, the
government, but the offer was of no
avail. According to the representa
tives of local firms. Alvarez has a cre
dit of $500,000 in New York and owns
fifty dry goods stores in Barcelona.

UNITED HOTELS CO.
MANAGE BIG HOSTELRIES
fContinued From First Pago]
United Hotels Company which will
operate the hotel under a thirty-year
lease and on terms favorable alike to
the stockholders and tne operating
company—particularly in view of the
fact that there liad been some doubt
expressed here and there as to the
ability of the local interests to secure
experienced management.
Under # the agreement with the
operating company the stockholders I
will receive upon their investment a
minimum of four per cent, and six
per cent, annually for the first five
years, if earned, and seven per cent,
thereafter without any condition. In
addition the hotel company stock
holders will participate in the earn
ings of the operating company to the
extent of practically one-half. Upon
the preferred stock of $50,000 the
operating company will receive six
per cent, and upon the amount
of $150,000, which covers the
furniture and furnishings, the stock
holders of the Harrisburg Hotel Com
pany will receive three per cent, an
nually for the first three years, four
per cent, for the succeeding two years I
and five per cent, thereafter. The
United Hotels Company will pay all
taxes and other expenses, including
replacement of furniture and equip- |
ment. As to the common stock of the 1
operating company l'orty-nine per
cent of the earnings will go to the
stockholders of the hotel company and
fifty-one per cent, to the United Hotels
Company. These are regarded as
equitable and reasonable provisions
and eminently satisfactory to the local
investors insuring more than an ordi
nary rate of interest.
The deed for the Opera House cor
ner, first payment on which was made
some weeks ago, will be transferred
to Uie Harrisburg Hotel Company on
the 15th of January. It is expected
that soon thereafter the architects,
William Lee Stoddart of New York
and Esenwein & Johnson of Buffalo,
who are collaborating in the making
of plans, will be ready for the esti
mates of builders. If all goes well,
the new building should be opened
for the holidays of 1917.
Modern and Comfortable
Owing to the large experience of
the United Hotels Company no doubt
is felt anywhere that the Penn-Harris

comfortable hotels in the United
States. Every provision will be made

including a grille room in Walnut
street; a lounging room with a front
age of 36 feet in Walnut street and

It is expected that the main dining
room 42x60 feet will be on the samel
level as the lounging room and ac
cessible from the lobby level by a wide I
marble stairway. There will also be
private dining rooms and a banquet j
hall and provision for a large assembly !
hall or ball room.
There will be a number of store
rooms in Third street and entrances!
on both Walnut and Third streets'
livhich will lead to the hotel lobby and !
grille room. Arrangement of the main
lobby on the first floor is similar to
that of the Blackstone Hotel of Chi
cago and Is located at a level of about
five feet above Walnut street and
reached by broad flights of marble'
stairs from both the Walnut and Third i
street entrances.
The main lobby facing Walnut I
street is 36x84 feet in tlie clear with i
the office and check room convenient- !
ly located nearest the Third street j
entrance and also with direct com-!
munication to the service portion of
the building. Two passenger eleva-1
tors will be conveniently located be
tween the main entrances and by pro
viding an elevator corridor and lobby,
congestion and interference with the
comfort of the guests In the main
lobby and lounging rooms is prevent
ed.
Provision has been made for in
creasing the size of the main dining
room by arrangement of a partition
between it and the lounging room as
a decorative movable screen. The
rear wing of the property on the main
floor la arranged for direct kitchen
service to the main dining room grille
on tlie ground floor and also wide
stairs to pantry on the second floor for
