corncobs are now too high-priced lux

to ship them cast to be converted into

School Column.

The celebrated lecturer, Thos.
McClary, gave brief talk to the
high school and eighth grade
pupils on Monday. He is witty,
interesting and helpful. He
spoke on "Our relatives, the
dumb animals"
The attendance is now close to
400 and so far the punctuality has
been fine. We understand that
there are many more pupils to
enter and we urge that any
pupils desiring to enter do so at
once. You cannot hope to do
satisfactory work by attending a
few months only.
Almost every pupil in the high
school bought ticket to the
lecture course, this speaks well
for the community. Good lee
lures and good entertainments
are part OF our education.
The first month of school closes
this week. The report cards will
be issued the Monday evening
following the close of each school
month. Much of the success of
school depends upon good
system of reports, carefully made
out and regularly issued, but re.
ports often tail of doing the good
they should because not enough
attention is given to them when
they are brought home for the
signature of the parent or guar
dian. We should take time to
examine carefully and if results
are not satisfactory thorough
investigation should be under
taken to discover and remove the
cause OF the child's failure. The
attendance and conduct should
receive careful attention. lrrcgu
lar attendance is the cause of
much poor work and no pupil
can do good work and have a
bad conduct record. The cause
of poor work may lie outside of
school entirely. The child's
physical condition may render
successful work impossible.
The newspaper., 1906-10-26

Again, the interests of the child
may all be outside of school in
some game or outside work which
renders it hard for him to give his
thought to the work of the school.
In any case it is poor policy to
scold about poor marks, give no
encouragement whatever, and
make no attempt to improve Con-
ditions. There is no surer way
to ruin a child's education than
constant criticism.

Prison Congress
Praises HaddOz

The present number of The Out
look makes favorable mention o.
the management of the West Viz
ginia penitentiary as follows:
CHE recent meeting of the Ma
tional Prison Association in Al
bany was remarkable not only fol
the large attendance from all ovel
the United States and Canada, but
for the number Of excellent papers
on topics no longer new. The
work of the Congress must be itera'
ton till the public is educated. Yet
the new expression Of wen-thresh.
ed matter was excellent, notably
that of c. E. Haddox, Warden o.
the West Virginia Penietntiary.
knowing how many thousands d
men in the State Of New York art
lying idle behind the bars, it wa!
refreshing to hear Mr.. Haddox, II
declaring that the labor question il
the greatest than eonfronts any
prison, says, 1dleness in prison i
terribly demoralizing, and prevent!
almost entirely all plans for a
regimen that looks to discipline.
For those in health there should b
in prison no wasted hours at any
time OF any place. A score of idlt
OF partly idle convicts can do NOR
mischief, subvert more discipline
destroy more regularity and sys
tenn, than a regiment Of men KEEP
at proper, legitimate employment.
Mr.. Haddox depends not only OF
labor and school work in his greai
penitentiary as means Of discipline
but on his prison library, stocked
with practical handbooks which tel
men how to do things, such as ID
mix concrete, lay brick, build house:
construct telephone lines, run
machinery, and similar work. BIZ

often the aftermath Of the spring
house-cleaning of the philan:

have books selected with as much
fidelity for prison as for a uni.
versity. Another plea that he made
was for school for officers, whose
usefulness must be measured BY
their personal influence on the men
under their charge. He takes the
unusual view that if a discharged
convict comes back to prison the
thoughtful warden should ask,

Taxes Lowered

Announcement is made by the
Wheeling Intelligence of a great
saving to Hon. Thomas S. Riley by
the new tax laws. Mr.. Riley is the
Democratic nominee for congress on
a platform that denounced the new
tax laws and it is interesting, there
fore, to note how much money the
new tax laws have already saved
him.
In 1904 under the old laws Mr.
Riley's aggregate tax was $56S.Os,
in 1905 on the same property with
the new laws partly in force they
amounted to $3.50, and in 1906
the present year on the same prop
erty they amount to but S2Ss.
Mr.. Riley saved in 1905, $45.6s-
Mr.. Riley saved in 1906, s75.os-
Mr.. Riley's total saving in two
wears OF tax reform is $1so.65.
What better lesson in tax reform
does he want? What have the men
who nominated him and in the
same breath denounced the new tax
laws now to say? Do they
want Mr.. Riley's taxes placed back
at the high figure, or shall they con-
tinue to get lower and lower.

Thrown out of Court

Edward Hogan's suit for ten
thousand dollars against the City
Hospital Company for injuries al
legged to have been done him, while
an inmate of that company's hos.
pital two wears ago, was on Zrial
Saturday in the circuit court. It
was. begun Friday evening.
Mr.. Hogan alleges that he was IN
the institution for treatment and
fell into the fire and was severely
burned, at time, when the nurse
in charge was not keeping proper
vigilance over him.
The defense denies that there was
any negligence on the part of the
hospital company or its employees
and that what injury, if any, he
sustained, was brought upon HIM
self by his own voluntary act.
Mr.. Hogan on the stand stated
that he was delirious at the time OF
the accident, that his night clothes
caught afre and he was badly burn,
ed on a lower limb, one side and
one hand. He did not know How
he caught afre-
AT the conclusion Of the plain
