HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
BLIND GIRLS
WORK ON FARM
Kathryn Frick and Another
Mt. Airy Girl Watch Cur
rent Events
Unable to see, hear or talk, Miss
Kathryn Frick, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. William L. Frick, 94 North Sev
enteenth street, who is a ward of the
state at the Pennsylvania School for
Deaf at Mt. Airy, is taking an
active interest In current events and
is working hard in the gardens to
relieve the food situation.
There are but two blind deaf per
sons in tiie state who are receiving an
education under the guidance of the
Commonwealth. Kathryn Is one and
Grace Pear], also a student at Mt.
Airy, is the other.
Every day these girls study their
lessons In spelling, geography, his
tory, work out problems in mathe
matics sew and play much like othe;
young folks.
Their books are not the small, com
pact volumes from which other chil
! dren learn, but large Braile tomes,
each as unwieldly as a big diction
ary. Their slates are complicated af
fairs in which innumerable tiny pegs
must be placed in minute holes and
written lessons must be executed on
the typewriter.
, In addition each of these girls is
learning slowly and laboriously to
articulate words and sentences and as
they can neither see their teachers
nor hear them, learning to speak is
far more difficult than one would im
agine.
That Kathryn is able to speak at
all is due to the efforts of her teach
er, Miss Mable P. Whitman, who for
eight years has devoted herself to
her pupil. Miss Whitman also super
intends the teaching of Grace, al
though she has for her personal in
structor, Miss Edith Ball, who is also
deaf and a graduate of the school
where she now is a teacher.
"It is difficult for me to remember
or to realize that Kathryn is deaf or
blind," said Miss Whitman in the in
terval of a history lesson, when her
pupil had gone to her typewriter to
tell tiie story of the early inhabitants
in New England, in her own way.
"She is so bright, so amiable, so sweet
and affectionate, and so responsive,
too, that it does not Seem possible
that she cannot hear and understand
everything."
"I have had her for eight years,
and have taught her all that she
knows. It is different from teaching
a normal child, you see, for I have
to teach language all the time, along
j with the other / |tudies. Whenever
Kathryn comes across a word she has
not heard before, we talk it over and
she learns all about it, and uncon
sciously adds it to her vocabulary. It
always pleases mo so much when I
find her enlarging her stock of words
in this way."
Just then Kathryn finished her his
tory composition and was ready for
her lesson in current events, for these
young girls are being thoroughly
posted In all the events of tho day,
as well as in history that is past arid
gone.
"Tell us about Colonel Roosevelt,'"
asked Miss Whitman, but Kathryn
had first to ask a few questions about
the visitor, to whom she had been
introduced in due form.
••Is she one of your best friends?""
she queried.
"No, I have not met her before,"
replied Miss Whitman. "But she has I
some pictures of us that the photo
grapher from her paper took the
other day when we did not know it.">
That provoked a merry laugh from
Kathryn.
"Oh, if we had known it, how nice
we would have tried to look!" she ex
claimed in her strange, mechanical,
but not unpleasing voice. "But show
me the pictures."
Showing the pictures consisted in
Miss Whitman sitting beside her,
iiolding Katliryn's hand in her own
and ,spelling Into it rapidly a de
tffled description.
"Grace is standing beside the
plough and Miss Ball is with her.
Grace is smiling; you are standing
near me and your hair is blowing;
you are smiling also. I look like an
old grandmother."
I "Ha, ha!" laughed Kathryn. "And
do 1 look like an Italian? Because my
hair is dark I might. Do 1?"
Then we went back to Roosevelt.
TalkN About Hnoxevelt
"He wishes," said Kathryn, slowly
and hesitatingly, like a foreigner who
is desiring of making every syllable
stand out for itself. "He wishes to
take 100,000 volunteers to Europe, but
[ this he cannot do until President Wll
. son and Congress approves."
I The lesson continued, the girl, with
her lingers placed on her teacher's
1 lips, showing eagerness and interest
I in every word that Miss Whitman
| uttered.
"It is wonderful how they stretch
I out for more knowledge," said Miss
i Whitman. "It is a pleasure to teftch
| them."

RAILROADS TO
PROTECT CREDIT
Ask Fair Consideration of
Questions of Vital Con
sequence
Baltimore, May 24.— The National
Association of Owners of Railroad
Securities, having for its object the
protection of credit of railway sys
tems of tiie country, was formed here
yesterday at a meeting of 400 men
representing over $3,000,000,000 of
railroad securities. S. Davies War
field, chairman of the board of the
Seaboard Air I.,ine, who called the
meeting, was elected president and
live vice-presidents will be later an
nounced.
A declaration of principles was
adopted which say that the railroads
with their $17,000,000,000 of capital
represent the greatest business or
ganization in the world, and that
upon that efficiency depends the in
dustrial and agricultural prosperity
of the country.
Tlie Dcelnrntion
"Through years of abuse," tho dec
laration says, "a state of mind has'
been created which seems to forbid
the fair consideration of questions of
vital consequence to the railroads and
those who in good faith have invest
ed their money in these securities."
Five men will be appointed shortly
to represent the organization before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
and will present appeals for such ac
tion as necessary to stabilize the se
curities of carriers.
The organization committee elected
includes: J. J. Nelligan. W. M. Hay
den, Van Lear Black and R. Lancas
ter Williams, Baltimore; William Al
exander, L. W. Smith, J. H. Rcker.
William B. Joyce, H. A. Sehenck, P.
N. Close, W. H. Ziegler and Freder
ick Shipman, of New York; A. V. llor
ton, of Philadelphia; Edward C.
Stokes, of Trenton, N. J.; C. W. La
cock, of Wllkes-Barre, Pa.; K. D.
Kemp, of Wilmington, Del., and Grier
Hersch, of York, Pa.

TRY THIS TO BANISH
ALL RHEUMATIC PAINS
People who have been tormented
for years—yes. even so crippled that
they were unable to help themselves
—have been brought buck to robust
health through the mighty power of
Rheuniu.
Rhemna acts with ipced; it brings
in a few days the relief you have
prayed for. It antagonizes the poi
sons that cause agony and puln in
the joints and muscle-! and quickly
the torturing soreness completely
disappears.
It is a harmless remedy, but sure
and certain, because H is one dis
covery that has foi ceu rheumatism

the phrase: "The most important feature
to be observed at all times is to satisfy and please passengers,"
and again "the reputation of the service depends as much upon
the efficiency of employes as upon the facilities provided by
the Company for the comfort of its patrons."
Such personal service cannot be instantly developed; it can
be achieved only through years of experience and the close
personal study of the wide range of requirements of twenty-six
million passengers. 1
To retain in the Pullman service experienced car employes
of high personal qualifications, pensions are provided for the
years that follow their retirement from active service, provision
afforded for sick relief assistance and increases in pay are
given at regular intervals with respect to the number of years
of continuous and satisfactory employment
A further inducement in which civility and courtesy are
counted of great importance, is the award of an extra month's
pay each year for an unblemished record. As a result, a large
percentage of Pullman conductors and porters are qualified by
many years of experience to render passengers the highest
type of personal service.
