Notch. Pa.. March 5. f'JlO.
.Mr. Editor:
1 wish to put before tho public a
few facts in regard to dogs running
deer.
On March 3, 1910. there was a
deer, run by two dogs, through my
Held. The deer came within thirty
feet of my house. I got my rifle as
soon as 1 could. One of the dogs
kept right up with the deer. 1 put
two balls through him and ho went
down; the other dog didn't got.
The deer was so near run down that
I caught It and will keep it for a
short time so that it will get strong
er. Tho dogs had bitten the deer in
different places and in a short time
they would have killed it. There
has been three other cases that tho
writer knows of where deer have
been killed the past winter by
dogs. The law now allows but one
deer, with horns, to a hunter, but
wo find that dogs do not stop with
one or two. There Is no limit to
them, and do they stop to look for
horns? No. It is always the small
deer that they get, as it is the weak
est ones that come out behind,
and that is tho one that the dogs
will get. In my own mind I believe
dogs have killed more deer tho past
winter then the hunters did through
the hunting season In November. I
sny our Legislature should stop Buch
evils by passing an Act that no dog
should be allowed at large unless
he Is under his master's control.
The past winter has beensuch that
no man could go where the dog .does
Let them pass an Act so that the own
ers would be lined. An Act of this
kind. I believe, would be well In
many ways.
Very Respectfully,
HIRAM A. RAKE.

LOCAL INSTITUTE
HELD SATURDAY
ENCOURAGE THE PUPILS
IIcnKli or .Mind and Body is the
Foundation of iluiiian Happiness,
nnd It Is in (lie School Whore This
Factor Should Receive Attention.
The locnl Teachers' Institute, com
prising Honesdale, Texas, Cherry
Ridge, Seolyvlllp, Bethany, nnd Dy
bcrry townships, wns held In the
illigh school auditorium Saturday,
March iith. with Superintendent
Koehler bb chairman.
The meeting wns opened with de
votional exercises led by Prof. J. F.
Dooley. of Waymart. Following this
there was a song. The first paper
discussed was based on "Sabln's
Common Sense Didactics" by Miss
Alice Mullen, "Tho Hygiene of the
Public School." This pnpor showed
careful preparation and full of good
suggestions. She said health of mind
and body is the foundation of human
happiness, and it ls In the school
where this factor should receive un
divided attention. Puro air, cleanli
ness, proper diet and exorcise are
tilings to be Improssed upon the
child's mind. Trying to read from
poorly situated black boards ls detri
mental to a child's sight. Watch
position of pupils. Water pail should
be cleaned weekly nnd, If possible,
individual drinking cups should be
used. Worry should not be allowed
to cast its gloom over tho child. Send
the children home happy. A lively
discussion followed by the other
members of the Institute. This was
followed by a lesson In music by
Miss Amy Clark's music class. The
next number, a continuation of Sa
bln's Works, Cultivation of Taste."
Tills paper was well written and
rendered by Miss Frieda Rose. She
said: Country schools fit hoys and
girls for the farm as the city schools
prepare its boys and girls for the
ofllce. and each subject should be
closely in touch with country life.
These children have better oppor
tunities to stud nature than city
children. Encourage them to plant
and care for shrubs and flowers.
Singing and drawing should have
their place in the daily programme.
Tills will do much to improve man
ners and morals of children. Noth
ing will have a better influence in
cultivating a ilno sense of taste than
books of good characters. Strive to
make the school room cheerful by
having well selected pictures." An
interesting discussion followed and
the question was asked, "Can we
have too many pictures in the school
room?" It was decided that It is
better to have a few good subjects
which would inspire the pupils,
rather than many which have no
meaning to them.
The next paper was the "Recita
tion" which was well written and
rend by Miss Rose Swltzer. Miss
Switzer said much attention should
be given In assigning lessons. Age
and ability of pupil should bo con
sidered and difllcult parts explained.
Same number of topics must not be
assigned daily as some two topics
might bo more difllcult than four.
Convinco pupils a good recitation is
their gain; a poor one their loss. A
pupil who recites tho lesson In his
own words understands It far better
than he who follows tho language of
tho author closely. Each lesson
must have close connection with the
following lessons. Encourage dull
pupils and praise their efforts. Have
both oral and written reviews often.
Miss Leo then gave a short talk on
"Primary Reading," and after a
general discussion the meeting was
adjourned until the afternoon.
Tho afternoon Besslon began at 2
p. in. with Prof. H. A. Oday as
chairman.
Tho first part of tho programme
was dovoted to Goldsmith by Misses
Alta I. Many nnd Mnyme Downing.
The former discussed him ns a man,
and the latter as a writer. Both these
papers wore nicely prepared and
each brought out many good points
relative to his childhood, education,
peculiarities, and reasons for writ
ing. Vocal solo, Eda Krantz.
Miss EsbIo Kelloy gave a very
thorough outllno of tho "Doserted
Village." Sho portrayed in a very
skillful mnnnor ninny of tho beauti
ful scones nnd passages mentioned
in tho poem. At this period Supt.
Koehler nnd Profs. Dooley and Oday
discussed tho above author. Mr.
Koohler montlonod ns a strong pecu
liarity of Goldsmith that ho novor
would explain nny of his writings,
nnd when at a social affair and nsk
od to Bpeak would alwayB call upon
JohiiBon, his friend, to oxpress his
Ideas. Tho Suporlntendont nlso said
In studying his life to dwell only
upon Goldsmith's most Important as
sociates as Garrlck and Johnson. A
number of Miss Clnrk's music class
very pleasingly rendered a song en
titled "All Hall, Land of tho Free."
Miss Harriot Arnold, winner In tho
trlnngulnr contest, then delighted
tho appreciative audience with
Homer Greene's great poem, "Do
Quincey's Deed."
Girls' chorus Night song.
Piano duet, Julia Storms and Helen
Clark.
Following this, Miss Elizabeth
Balrd, In a very Interesting manner,
gave a number of good suggestions
as "How to Teach Geography." Miss
Balrd said: "Troat continents ns a
wholo, use drawings, study highland,
lowland, nnd winds with their rela
tion to climate. Tench countries In
relation to latitude." Sho also rec
ommended Carpenter's Readers ns
being very good. Tho Institute clos
ed with the selection "Spartacus to
tho Gladiators," which was very
nicely rendered by Chnrles Markle,
Honcivlnle's contestant In tho trl
nngulnr literary competition. The
Institute was largely attended, very
Instructive and Interesting.

and lie married Miss Hegina Friend,
of Albany, N. Y. After several years
in Honesdale, he decided to moTe to
Wllkes-Barre, and lived there for a
short time. Hut they returned to
Honesdale, and finally came to
Scranton. This was in 1S4G
Lackawanna avenue had plank side
walks at that time, and there was
plenty of breathing space. Almost
the entire southern side of the ave
nue was vacant. Mr. Goldsmith
entered into business on the corner
of the alley, which is now directly
opposite the Western Union olllces.
He remained there a year, and then
moved to tho building where the
store Is at the present time. It has
been there continuously for forty
live years. As the only store of con
sequence on that side of the street,
many predicted an early failure for
the young shoe merchant. But per
severance and strict attention to
duty which has ever marked his
caiver, won out, and he soon became
tlie most prominent merchant in his
line in this section of the state.
Within four years after Mr. Gold
smith's entry Into the business, or
in 1S68, the southerly side of tho
avenue was fast building up, and
those who predicted that It was of
no enrthly good for business pur
poses, saw the error of their ways.
The nucleus of what Is now tho
Lackawanna Valley House was the
principal hotel there at the time,
and the one hundred block was con
sidered the most desirable location
for a business house. Thrown up
on ills own resources at the age of
nineteen, Mr. Goldsmith had learn
ed tho ways of the world, and he
acquired through his own experi
ences nnd dealings a knowledge of
business that Is surpassed by few.
