Complaint from Jersey City.
The fourth arrest OF Parks was on a
warrant issued by Justice Mayer on the
complaint OF Josephus Plenty, a Jersey
City contractor, who alleges that Parks
secured from him $500 for calling of a
strike on one OF his contracts.
Mr.. Plenty said in his affidavit that a
walking delegate OF the Housesmiths

last November. He said he could come
TO no understanding with Dolan and was
advised TO see Parks. which he did at
ParlSs's home. In New York City.

said: Mr.. Parks said this delegate in
New Jersey needed a piece OF money to
keep quiet, and that IL l were ready to
pay 1t that would be the easiest way out
OF the difficulty. L have just said he,

TIE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
Several important Points That Must
Be Remembered

To teach a child with success re-
quires only com4n04 sense, good judg-
ment and gentleress. There are. how
ever three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind
Of the teacher.
First of all. she must remember that
10 teach is to impart instruction.; not
o find fault with ignorance, with lack
Of comprehension, with llstlessness or
With forgetfulness. Often. indeed, for
ehese last named faults, moor teaching
IS to blame. Second, there IS the
infieXible rule that requires teacher
o prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving it, in order to present 1t
IN an interesting and intelligibla way.
Third. there is the ever present dan.
ger Of OVERRIDING, against which ths
teacher must always be on guard.
In the beginning short lessons fre
4uently varied give the best results,
Ten or fifteen minutes for each study
is enough, and this time limit must
not be oyerstepped so long as to-
morrow represents another day.--Ths
