TIIK C1TIZK.N, FRIDAY, NO KMllHIl II, lJO. LOCAL INSTITUTE AT EQUINUNK Interesting Session Held Lost Sat urday Gooil Papers Head Lengthy Promm. Special to Tho CITIZEN. Equinunk, Pa., Nov. 3. Tho teachers of Manchester township met at Equinunk October 29, for n local institute. Tho lnstituto woe called to order by Superintendent Kochlcr, who after a short talk ex plaining the purpose of the meet ing, called upon Charles R. Glllow to give his ideas of tho require ments of eighth grado work. Among many pertinent suggestions of tho "Course of Study" reviewed by Mr. Glllow wo note tho follow ing: "Teach not only how to read but what to read." He advocated tho reading of biography, and em phasized tho importance of tho school library. The eighth grade Grammar work should cover use of phrases, syn tax, conjugation of verbs, synonyms, homonyms and plenty of composi tion. Teach pupils use of dictionary. Use dictation exercises to teach spelling. Require much review work of previous grades In arith metic and add bank discount, square and cube root and mensuration to the work already mastered. The important parts of Geogra phy are: Physical features, people, products, climate, etc. After discussion by the institute, this talk was followed by a class drill in "Phonetics," led by Miss Watson. This was one of the most pleasing features of the day, and tho little people taking part in tho drill did finely. Many of the teachers expressed the Intention of procur ing a copy of the little guide book, "Ward's System of Teaching Phone tics," which Miss Watson uses. The afternoon session was open ed by a talk, "Seventh Grade Work" by Ralph Glllow. Ho mentioned the importance of biography as a basis of the reading and history les sons, advising that only such sub jects as had clean records bo used. Composition is to be combined with the work In Grammar, and special emphasis is to be put upon the use of grammatical rules in the composi tions. Addition, subtraction, multi fractions and decimals, relation of decimals to percentage, interest, and denominate numbers wero cited as suitable for the seventh grade. The speaker outlined the work In His tory, Geography and Physiology ac cording to the course of study, men tioning essential parts which can not be given for lack of space. Ada Doherty's subject was "Sixth Grade Work." She commented fav orably on the practice of requiring monthly memory work. Decimals, denominate numbers and mensura tion cover most of the work In arithmetic except the review. Men tal Arithmetic is best taught with Written Arithmetic. During the term of 1910-1911, the work in geography is mainly a study of Europe, South America, and Asia. Miss Doherty closed with a short description of tho course in Physi ology and the next subject, "Fifth Grade Work," was immediately tak en up In order that the work of the Fifth and Sixth grades might be dis cussed together. The main points of this talk by Addle S. Rauner were: "Use the reading lesson as the medium by which all departments In English are strengthened. Use the silent reading lesson. Empha size oral language work. Besides the review work in Arithmetic teach decimals, denominate numbers, fac tors and bills and accounts. "Use the free arm movement only In writing. "Teach geography of the continent by author's plan first, and use the course of study outline for topical review. Keep the work In Hygiene practical." Mrs. Frlsble next read a paper en titled "Public Health" which was enjoyed by all. She suggested many things which might be done for the betterment of tho homo and school. Better methods of ventila tion, more physical exercise and more pleasure for children and mothers were urged as necessities. Owing to the lateness of tho hour tho rest of tho program was not given. Tho remaining numbers were: "Fourth Grade Work," Emma Woolbeater. "Third Grado Work," Eliza Dar lam. "Second Grade Work," Hazel Hopkins. "First Grado Work," Adelaide Watson. "Practical Agriculture," Superin tendent J. J. Koenler. ADDIE S. RAUNER, Secretary. An Eggs-Onerntlon. In spite of the lact that no maga zlne muckraker has yet detected the hand of J. Plerpont Morgan in tho organization of a trust among the hens.t ho market page of The CITI ZEN continues recording a voluptu ous price. It is disconcerting. Just when we wero almost persuaded by somo young men of tho magazines that our wholo economic system is at tho mercy of J. Plerpont, along comes an emphatic denial from the lien that sho has been morganlzed Sho does It, too. with complete in difference to tho magazine trust- uuster Authoritative Information states that the, hen and all her cousins and aunts, whether of patrician lineage or of tho proletariat, whether of tho poultry show 400 or the backyard roost, is leisurely off tho Job. It Is restrui, it is reposeful for her ma Jesty. If Turner, tho painter who pictured profound roposo by putting In the foreground somo instrument of labor cast aside, could have known her American henBhlp Just now, ms canvas would nave express cd repose six feet deep. This Is tho situation. Wo cavil not with it. What boots It to lllng carping crlticsm if tho hen elects to go on a vacation just when fried eggs taste good? It whoops up tho bank account of her owner. And ! this accords wholly with tho altru istic mission of tho hen J for verily sho lives for others. "Thou art wise, lldcrlm," quoth tho Scot, "wlso though a Saracen, nnd generous though an Infidel." And 01 thou hen, shedding no eggs whilst shedding thy feathers, wis dom and generosity nro mayhap veiled behind thy careless eggs-prcs-slon. llut 32 cents n dozen candled, frazzles tho family purse." 91,000 A .ALAN KOU FOOTBALL. Rvpcnso of Harvard Tcmn During Season Is UIosc to $:i.,OOU. Ono thousand dollars per player for an eight-week season Is what It costs Harvard to turn out a high- class football team. This does not mean $11,000 for an eleven, but nearer $35,000 for a squad of about thirty-five men. Tho high cost of living 1b blam ed for tho big price of gridiron gladiators, for the Sl.OOO-mark ner man was never reached until last I season. This year, with tho cost or: living still growing, It is expected to come nearer tho $1,200 mark I for a gridiron player. In rnminnnHnir nnnn tlm rrlflr- ism over tho expenditure of $127,-1 U4t.yy ior Harvard atnictics during i the years 1900-10, tho Harvard Bul-I lctln says: I "Tho same Is large, no doubt, and( It represents an incrcaso of several J uiousana nounrs over trie expense of the year preceding. But the high cost of living seems to be a spear that knows no brother, and it costs a good deal more to put through any schedule of games to day than it did a few years ago. "Football costs nearly one-quar ter of the whole outlay, and If the permanent squad bo reckoned as containing thirty or thirty-five men, it took about $1,000 per player to put the team through Its season of seven or eight weeks." The Bulletin comments upon the gap existing between tho require ments of admission to Harvard and tho ordinary curriculum of the New England public high school. "Of this unfortunate fact there can bo no serious question and It Is a situation which no college can permanently afford to tolerate. If the schools will not come to the college, (and there is no reasonable ground for expecting that they will), then tho college had better go to the schools. "Otherwise It will pay the penal ty for its lack of adjustment by a steady hold upon what ought to be the chief feeders of the fresh men class, the public high schools of New England." THE HOME COMING. A Thanksgiving Poem By JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY I Wo must get home for we have been away So long it seems forever and a day! And O, so very homesick we have grown, Tho laughter of the world is like a moan In our tired hearing, and its songs as vain, "We must get home we must get homo again! II We must get home: It hurts so, staying here Where fond hearts must bo wept out tear by tear, And where to wear wet lashes means, at best, When most our lack, tho least our hope of rest When most our need of joy, the most our pain We must get home wo must get home again! Ill Wo must get homo: All Is so quiet there: The touch of loving hands on brow and hair Dim rooms, wherein the sunshine is made mild The lost love of the mother and the child Restored In restful lullabies of rain. Wo must get homo wo must get homo again! IV We must get home, where, as we nod and drowse, Time humors us and tiptoes through tho house, And loves us best when sleeping baby-wlBe, With dreams, not tear-drops brimming our clenched oyes Pure dreams that know not taint nor earthly stain Wo must get home wo must get home again! V We must get homo; and, unremem berlng there All gain of all ambitions other where, Rest from the feverish victory, nnd tho crown Of conquest whose waste of glory weighs us down Famo's fairest gifts wo toss back with disdain Wo must get home wo must get homo again! WOMAN AVOItE HORNS. Strangely Dressed Crenturo Proves Mystery to Passengers on immi grant Train. Pittsburg, Pa. One of tho oddest looking characters that ever went through hero on an immigrant train was a woman passenger on a morning train, which carried sever al coachloads of foreigners through running as a section of Pacific ex press. "Uncle Joe" Nathanson, the inter preter, was not with tho train and there was no one on board who could talk to tho woman or learn her nationality; but thero bavo been few foreigners who attracted so much attention among tho other passengers or among tho employes at tho local depot. Tho woman was of middle age. very light In complexion and was very expensively gowned iu a flowing robe of many colors, with sleeves bo short that her arms were exposed to tho cold abovo the elbows. Her gown, however, was not near ly so strange as her headgear, which consisted of a sort of crown of somo whlto and gold cloth, from which two horns of brass, ench about threo Inches long, stuck out straight from her temples. Tho Btrnngely dressed woman kept aloof from tho other passengers and It was said that bIio had not spoken to anyone or an swered any questions since tho train loft Now York. CANTEEN UKTTEU THAN SPHAKKASY. General Leonard wood Dcclnrcs That tho Cnuso of Temperance Has Not Been Promoted. Washington, D. C, Nov, 4. Dropping from tho heights of tacti cal maneuvers and tho finer points of tho war game, Major General Leonard Wood has submitted an ex traordinary report dealing with the commonplaces of the enlisted man's comfort. Tho report was written by Gener al Wood as the commander of tho department of the east, but was submitted to the adjutant general, after he becamo chief of staff and therefore is taken as criticism by tho active head of tho army. Within the sphere of the enlisted man, General Wood in this report touches upon threo points; the sol dier's canteen or post saloon; his uniform particularly his shoes and the desirability of establishing a general service corps of men em ployed to do all the non-military work. Would Re-establish Canteen. The crisp and blunt recommenda tion of General Wood that tho army canteen bo re-established is ono with which most every army officer would agree but not ono probably which all would incorporate In an official report. General Wood bases this suggestion upon the assertion that the canteen Is for the best interests of tho army. Several years ago the W. C. T. U. and other temperance organiza tions succeeded in putting through Congress an order abolishing the post saloon where the soldier bought light beer, tobacco and played pool and cards. Since then the American soldier has gone outside of his post when he wished to buy liquor. As a consequence the gates of the army posts are now fringed with a series of green swinging doors on buildings from which sound the dis cords of electric pianos and in which the soldier is not limited to beer but is Induced to drink cheap brands of whisky. The soldiers themselves are bit terly opposed to those parasite sa loons outside of posts and in some instances have wrecked them. Charges of robbery have been made against the proprietors of some of them. Many officers of the army now believe that it is far better to allow the soldier to drink beer in side a post than to drink poor whis ky outside. General Wood openly declares himself an advocate of the post saloon. Soldiers' Shoes Considered. Discussing the dress of the enlist ed men, General Wood lays great stress upon tho need of a more careful inspection of the soldiers shoes. He goes so far as to say that the present proportion of ill fitting shoes among the private soldiers of the Infantry branch of the army seriously handicaps their efficiency in field service. "Reports of feet Inspection show a very large proportion of Ill-fitting shoes," says Wood, "with the re sulting condition of feet which would quickly incapacitate these soldiers for duty in case of field service. "This is so common an occurrence as to warrant the issuance of gener al instructions to apply throughout the army to tho effect that the fit ting of shoes shall bo supervised by an officer, and that there shall be at least ono monthly inspection of the men's feet by tho medical officers with a view to correcting such con ditions of unsoundness as exist and calling attention to those cases where It Is evident that the men's shoes do not fit them. This is a subject which demands serious and constant attention." The suggestion is made in tho re port that a third army reserve bo established composed of men who have been honorably discharged from the regular service or tho mili tia who could be paid nominal sal aries by tho war department. They would keep the department con stantly advised of their addresses. Tho only duty for theso reserves suggested by General Wood is that they attend a yearly maneuver. Thus there would always be at tho call of the army a reserve body of men who in tho past havo received military instructions, freshened up every year with Dold maneuvers. Minor Offenses Condoned. Severe condemnation is made of tho too frequent practice of hauling a soldier up for trial for some min or offense. "It indicates," says tho report, "an incapacity on tho part of com manding officers to understand the human side of command, and re sults only too often in breaking down tho Bolt respect of tho soldier and rendering him careless of re suits. General Wood says that ho favors tho establishment of a sys tern of discipline for unruly sold iers looking to their reform as well as their punishment. He objects to the application of tho term "con vict" to soldiers who are dishonor ably discharged from the service be cause of their having been convicted of flvo previous offences which are In many Instances minor offences. This, he says, is npt to destroy In a largo mcasuro their future usO' fulness as citizens. General Wood recommends fre- quont travel for field officers in or dor that they may observo tho man' euvers of well-trained bodies of troops. Ho suggests that as many officers as possible be given an op portunity of observing tho work of tho European armies. Well, tho great election Is now a thing of tho past.

Bank Tries to Stop a Run With It Next Door Merchant Benefits. During a rccont run on a Western bank a billboard was set up In tho street whero Uio lino of depositors wero gathered nnd Its frank statement of tho bank's condition did much to rcstoro confidence. Many peoplo dropped out of tho lino after reading tho sign, which boro this legend: "This bank can pay overy dollar on deposit. It is ono of tho strongest banks on tho Pacific coast. It has been your friend. Jeal ous competitors havo worked to bring you hero. Every person In this lino should show their loyalty by leaving at onco. Your monoy la safe. Why thon remain horo doing an unkind and foolish thing? Break ranks." The run lasted thirty-six hours, but tho bank stood tho strain and re mained solvent. An enterprising merchant took ad vantago of the Incident to secure a novel advertisement for his store. It happened, says the Bookkeeper, that ho was prepared to movo Into tho ad Joining building, and tho picture of tho crowd beforo tho bank had tho appcaranco of hoadlng for his now quarters. A cut of this picture- was used for his announcement, tho legsnd reading, "Your monoy in safe if you follow tho crowd to " giving the name of his own eatabllnhmattt. Martyrs to Science. Tho very day after Mr. Rolls'a death a number of women were to the front at Bouromotith, eager for a rido in an aeroplane. They subsequent ly described their sensations to tho reporters for publication to an envious world. Tho tragedy of the prorlous day no doubt sorvod to give an addi tional thrill to tho adventure and to make each adventuress more proud of herself. If one of them had been killed sho would, presumably, hnve been hailed as another martyr to sci entific progress. Power of Wealth. The ultimata test of tho real effi ciency of a rich man is to be able to get his divorce without duo publicity and attondant scandal, except in those few cases where they ratbei enjoy the now sensation of notoriety a phaso which is really pathological Life.

He spends his days trying to buy cot ton when It Is low and sell It when it Is high. This Is how ho doscrlbcd his experience at the piano recital: "You know, I'm not easily Btlrred up, and I don't know anything about music. I wouldn't know whether a man was playing tho piano extremely well, or Just fairly well. But I do know that Padcrowskl played ono thing that afternoon that stirred mo up as I never was stirred in my llfo. I don't remember what It was. I couldn't have told whether ho was playing an hour or flvo minutes. All I know Is that It stirred up feollngs within mo I had never folt beforo. Great waves of emotion swept over me. I wanted to shout nnd I wanted to cry, and when tho last chord was struck I found myself on my feet, waving my umbrella and shouting like a wild Indian. I went out of that hall as weak as a rag and happier than I'd been In years. I can't account for It. I've tried, but I can't explain It. Can you 7" A. E. Thomas in Success Magazine. Origin of "Three Balls" Sign. The origin of tho threo balls In front of a pawnbroker's office, says the Now York World, was a corpora tion of Italian merchants, known as "Lombards," who established loan of fices In Franco and England during tho thirteenth century. Their "armji,' or emblems, (or those of tho Medici family, which was foremost In the cor poration), were threo golden balls. Tho presont "three ball" sign is sup posed to be derived from that.
