TELLS TEACHERS TO WORK
FOR LOVE OF TOE CALLINC
County , Superintendent Shambaugh
Says It is Lamentable Bo Many
Are Merely Time-servers Seeking
the Remuneration
Professor Frank K. Shambaugh, su
perinteudent of the public schools of
Dauphin county, except those in Hivr
risourg, Stcclton and Middletown, has
flieJ December 4 as Patrons' Day and
in a letter sea* out to the 330 or more
school teachers to-day suggested plans
for observing the day and entertaining
the parents and friends of the pupils.
Simultaneously with the issuance of
the letter Professor Shambaugh an
nounced that Mrs. Walter l»erov Smith,
chairman of the National Parent
Teacher Association, will come to Har
rlsburg during the first week of No
vember, immediately preceding the
teachers' county lu.-titute, which opens
in this city on November 9. and ad
dress several meetings, telliug of the
aims of the society which she is head
ing. Mrs. Smith has been instrument
al in organizing luore than a hundred
I'aren: "1 cacher Associations throughout
the State. The county superintendent
will entertain requests from districts
desiring Mrs. Smith's services in form
ing similar organizations in this local
ity.
In proclaiming December 4 as Pa
irons' Day, Professor Shambaugh sug
gests that in th-» rural school districts
the day be recognized as "Agricultural
and Rural Life Day." He suggwsts
further that the teachers arrange a
display of the fruits of the farm and
stimulate a friendly rivalry among the
pupils in the mattei of making the best
display. The superintendent adds:
"I hope you will realise the impor
tance in the work in which you are
engaged. You will to a certain degree
direct the destiny of our country
through the boys and girls—our future
citizens —whom you have in your
charge. It is yours to make or mar
the young lives entrusted to you. A
love for your work, a broad sympathy
ami a perfect understanding of child
life are all verv essential if you hope
to be successful. It is a lamentable
fact that so many who are eugaged in
teaching are merely time-servers and
are not in the w >rk from a sense of
service, but for the remuneration it
offers."

BIRDS PLERIIFIIL
AS SEASON Offi
Commissioner Kalbfus
Says Squirrels Par
ticularly Are Numer
ous in State
NATIVE QUAIL
ALONE SCARCE
Rush to Get Hunters' Licenses in This
County So Great That Treasurers'
Office Will Be Open at Night
Dozen Women Qualify
The open season for killing squirrels,
grouse, ring necked pheasants and Hun
garian quail started to-day and almost
300,000 persons who have taken out
hunters' licenses throughout the State
are at liberty to huut this kind of
game- -if they can find it and if the
land-owners have not plastered their
hunting grounds with trespass notices.
The season for native quail or part
ridges and rwbbits will not opeu in this
State until November 1. Last year
305,000 hunters took out licenses to
shoot in Pennsylvania, but this year
the number will fall short by a few
thousands, especially hi the western
counties. Allegheny reports a falling
off of 20,000 in (he number of licenses
takeu out thus far. The State Game
Commission, at the t"quest of land
owners, has appointed a number of spe
cial game protectors, who serve without
pay and are qualified to arrest violators
of the game laws.
Commissioner Knlbfus says that, with
the exception of native quail, game
birds are plentiful. Reports show that
squirrels in the forest counties are very
plentiful and many have been seen dur
ing the last few weeks. In the grouse
breeding sections these birds are re
ported to toe even more numerous than
iast year. The hard winter had no
effect iu reducing their numbers, as
they feed from trees and bushes and
not on the ground.
Deer Reported Plentiful
There are very few ring-necked
pheasants to be found, and those in
the woods have been bred when in cap
tivity and turned loose to be hunted
by members of clubs. The birds of this
breed that escape the gunuers generally
die off during the winter. This also is
the case with Hungarian quail, many
of which after being turned into the
fields by the breeders are tracked by
vermin and killed, as they do not fly
and their scent is easily touud on the
ground by weasels and other destroying
vermin. The, deer in the woods are
very numerous and good hunting is
premised the hunters when the season
opeus.
The rush for hunters' licenses at the
office of Dauphin < ounty Treasurer A.
H Bailey was equally as large to day
as yesterday. although the hunters in
many cases did not appear in person.
Justices of the peace throughout the
county are receiving applications and
the maiis this morning brought hun
dreds of license tag requests to the
treasury.
Women Take Out Licenses
Treasurer Bailey, who had been to
New City on a three-day busiuess
trip, returned to his office last even
ing and to-day joined bis corps of
vlerks in handing out licenses. He
also decided to keep the office opeu each
evening this week, having posted a no
tice this morning that he will be on
hand to honor license applications be
tween 7 and 9 p. ai. Thursday, Friday
and Saturday.
Records siiqw that F. P. Stine, re
siding just beyond Millersburg, >is
the smallest Dauphin county hunter to
take out a license this year." Mr. Stine
is 56 years old and is but 3 feet 5
inches tall. He is a former school
teacher and is recognized in his home
community as an expert huntsman.
When the treasury closed last even
ing 2,887 licenses had been issued and
at noon to-day that number had been
increased by 414. making the total
3,301. A dozen or more women have
obtained licenses to hunt in Dauphin
county.
NEGRO CHARGED WITH ARSON
Constable Charles Smith last night
arrested Charles Madison, colored,
charged with trying to bum down his
sweetheart's home, on a warrant issued
by Joseph Douually, a State deputy
fire marshal.
On Sunday Policeman Thompson ar
