Scott, as he is more familiarly
known among his old schoolmates
and friends up about Waterfall,
is a son or the late Eli Shore, a
brother of Bruce at Three Springs
and a cousin of our townsman
Clarence B. Shore. He was born
and grew to manhood, on a farm
2k miles from Waterfall, and at
tended the home school until he
became of age. Having decided
upon a professional life, he atten
ded a summer normal at Orbi-
sonia, then took a three-years
course in the Veterinary Depart
ment of the University of Pen
nsylvania, graduating with honor
being third in his class. Shortly
after this time, he went to Lake
View, Minn, where he has been
successful in building up a large
and lucrative practice, and now
stands at the head of the organi
zation in his state. Scott did not
have any money to start with,

Do Yon Know of a Blind Baby.'
In May 1913 the State of Penn
sylvania passed a bill providing
for the care, maintenance and in
struction of blind babies and chil
dren known as Senate bill No. 50
of the laws of 1913. This law
gives the State Board of Educa
tion power to provide for the
suitable care, maintenance and
instruction of babies and children
under school age, having power
to contract with any Institution
furnishing facilities for such
care-paying a dollar a day for the
same.
Pennsylvania has six children
in the Arthur home for blind ba
bies, Summit, New Jersey the
only institution i n the whole
United States that will take any
blind baby from any state and
give it proper physical care, and
mental training, until it is the

proper age to enter the State in
stitutions provided for the older
blind.
Fourteen states are already
represented, and one little boy
rom Cuba, forty children being
the total number now in the home
and as many more have been
graduated.
If you know of a blind baby or
you have one, write promptly to
Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden. 96
ifth avenue N. Y. City, founder
of the Sunshine Blind Baby In
stitutions and she will give you
all information.
She maintains that the public
has no right to assume that be
cause a baby is blind it has no
brains. Her ten years' work in
behalf of the baby blind demon
strates that the blind should be
cared for from the day they are
blinded and one should not wait
until they areot school age, when
blind children in the past have
been eligible to State Institutions.
She declares that the blind be
come feeble-minded from lack of
brains, and if the children are
given attention from the day of
blindness few, if any will be re
used at the State Schools at the
age of eight, because of being
too backward or feeble-minded
to take advantage of the training
there prepared for them.
It is your duty, therefore, since
he State now makes provision
or the care of the baby blind to
report such a child if you ever
see or hear of one in your state.

Teach Better Reading.
If teachers, parents, and all
who have anything to do with
the education of children could
be impressed with the importance
of training them to become good
readers, this branch of the com
mon schools would receive the
most attention during the child's
first years in school. We claim
that the ability to read readily is
the foundation of all education.
Give a big boy a problem, and
if he has to lay the book on his
left arm, hold it by the top, point
to the words with his finger,
chew his tongue half off while
painfully spelling the words, he
will get about as much meaning
out of his reading as the baby
when it tore up the News
last night before you got to see
it
We know whereof we speak
when we state that half the fail
ures in recitations are due to the
pupil's inability to read the les
son readily enough to "sense
the subject Turn a boy out of
school before he has learned to
read readily, and right there you
forever shut the door of progress
to that man. It is not the multi
tude of rules and formulas com
mitted to memory that enables
him to copewith the world, but
it is the power to extract facts
for himself by reading, that fur
nishes the material for his edu
cational structure. If the en
deavor to read is laborious, the
man will do as little of it as pos
sible, and when he is not at work
you will usually find him among
a crowd" of his calbre telling sto
ries, or worse yet gossiping.
His mind was originally active
.enough, but he was robbed of
his facility for improving it when
he was turned out to make his
way in the world before he could
read well enough to make read
ing a pleasure. And this good
old world is full of men handi
capped in this manner.

Nothing adds more to the refinements of home than
good music. To have good music you must have a good
instrument. There are good bad and indifferent instru
ments, and to the unskilled eye they look much alike.
The unprincipled dealer is likely to make you pay a
first-class price for a fourth-class instrument. I have
lived in this county since my birth, I am a taxpayer and
in a position to make good any business transactions.
Buy your piano, organ, or victrola trom me and if it is
not all right you can come back at me.
There are families in every part of this county that
have purchased instruments from me. Ask them about"
me.
perhaps you want to trade your organ for a Piano,

me.
