BICYCLE OIL IN THE SALAD
Stomach Pump for the Youth Who
Made the Mistake In His
Dressing
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The mistake
of putting bicycle oil instead Of salad
oil into a chicken salad sent Kevit Beh-
nisch, 1S years old. OF 1877 East Seven
teenth street to Bellevue hospital, where
the physicians used stomach pump to
assist the young man to get rid of the
mixture.
Young Behnisch's father sent the boy
into an adjoining room to get the salad
oil. Absentmindedly, he picked up a
bottle Of bicycle oil. Returning, his
father told him to put the oil in the
salad. The elder Behnisch did not no.
tice the mistake that had been made.
Put In all of the oil In the bottle"
said Mr.. Behnisch. and the young man
followed instructions.
THAT will be great chicken salad all
right, all right" said young Kevit as he
corked the bottle.
Young Behnisch ate heartily of the
salad and when 1t was finished de-
clared that he would take a ride on his
bicycle
The young man got as far is Second

fell off the wheel, writhing and groan-

The Home and the School From
the Standpoint of a Teacher.

1
Paper read before Rankin County
Teachers Association by w. N. Taylor,
and published by request of the associa-
| ton:
The relations of the home and school
offer to the teacher many of the most per-
picking problems Of school life. That
many of these problems are still far from
solution is due largely to the very nature
of the difficulties involved. The two in
stitutions often make conflicting claims
upon the time and attention of the pupils.
Often, also, it is necessary to inculcate in
the children ideals and standards of con-
duct quite at variance with those prevail
Ing in the home. 1t goes without saying
that this ought to be done, in so far as
possible, without arousing indignant pro-
test from the parents, or creating lack
of respect for the home and family.
Let US take up the first question-the
conflicting claims of the home and school
upon the time and attention Of the pupils.
lOf coure, all will readily admit-both
teachers and patrons-that there ought to
be no conflicting claims; that there ought
to be clear line of demarkation between
the claims of these two institutions.
That the children owe certain duties to
the home-government, must be admitted.
That they must be made amenable to the
school government is also apparent.
Where, then, is the line to be drawn?
How far may the patron in justice to the
school press his claims upon the time and
attention of the pupil How far does the
right of the teacher extend to control the
time of the pupil?
Fortunately these questions are partial
" solved by existing laws, which confer
upon school officials, including teachers,
authority to provide courses of study and
to formulate methods Of control. This
authority in most states extends to the
| so-called compulsory education laws in
which school officials are vested with
power to compel children to attend school
a certain number of days each year for so
many years. Laws Of this kind, how
ever, are not likely to be enacted in Miss
issippi at any time in the near future.
Our public school question is SO related to
other vital questions, especially the race
question. that much legislation, otherwise
desirable, is considered impracticable un-
der present conditions.
Now, while these relations between
home and school have to certain extent
been adjusted BY legislation, it must be
admitted that if their solution is left
wholly to legislation they will never be
satisfactorily solved. The relations that
exist between home and school are, as a
rule, too subtle, to intangible to Be dealt
with by legislation. After all, their solu-
tion must Be left largely to the patience
and tact Of the teacher and to the good
sense and sound jud gment Of the patron.
desire to lay down this propositions:
| that little progress can Be made toward
the adjustment Of these questions until the
teacher realizes that his duties extend Be-
yond the walls Of the school room. ] can

Richmond Instructors Posi-
lively Refuse to Take Ser
iousIy Illinois Idea of In
structIng Little God.
MEN TEACHERS ARE
NOT ENTHUSIASTIC.
BIushing FuriousTy When Ap-
preached, One Pretty In
structor Says Love Can't
Be Taught by Book.

Richmond teachers positively refuse
to take seriously the Illinois idea of
instructing Cupid how TO shoot in the
public schools. Nevertheless. they
are highly Interested in the expert
ment of Prof. Russell, of GreenVille,
that state, who has introduced a course
of up-to-date lovemaking in the cur
riculum there.
Strange to say not even the men
teachers are enthusiastic over show
ing their girl pupils how TO make
their eyes behave" Not one could
be found who had a good word to say
for Prof Russel's idea They declared
that the average Richmond youngster
knew too much about love as it was
and that to solve problems in court
ing by aid Of the blackboard would
be to invite complications too serious
to even contemplate.
What next" said one prominent To-
cal teacher. Just as if the Richmond
teachers did not have enough to do
without making us conduct a matrimO-
nial bureau. For that is what it
would amount to. You couldn't teach
the boys and girls how to love without
having them fall head over heels into
it. There are a few things we should
leave to their parents to teach and one
of them is counting. An then | don't
think the old maids we have as teach
ers would ever consent to teach some
thing they knew nothing whatever
about. Why. the whole thing is fool.

Another pretty pedagogue blushed fu-
riously when the reporter put the ques-
tion to her 'Perfectly absurd" said
she II think the whole thing is Il
joke. | know it would never work in
Richmond" When asked why. she
stamped her foot and replied: Love
can't be taught by book, so there
perhaps in the year 5000 they will
be teaching love in the schools" one
of the lower grade instructors said,
but it will hardly do for 1907. Those
matters should be left to the parents
in the good, old fashioned way. Really
| can't see how any one should ad-
vance such a proposition. 1t seems
so foolish
Still another gave it as her opinion
that il love was to be taught in the
schools it would be a good idea to have
stage celebrities give illustrated les
sons. Olga Nethersole might give the
latest wrinkles in kissing, or John
Drew show how to hold hands. But
my! the whole idea is joke
One of the male members of The
Richmond teaching force said he was
opposed to any system of teaching love
making. Il don't know just what Prof
Russells course is" said he, but it
would never do for Richmond. Cupid
has no place in the classroom, and
whenever he gets in there is bound to
be a scandal in the newspapers"
