Travis and John Mccullough, Echo
youths who were convicted Monday
of stealing cow, We're this morning
sentenced to the state penitentiary
for an indeterminate period not ex-
ceeding ten years nor less than one.
1t is probable that little leniency will
be shown them inasmuch as both
were paroled prisoners at the time
they stole the COW. Travis, the eld-
er, had been sent to the penitentiary
on a similar conviction and had been
paroled from that institution. The
younger was paroled by Judge Phelps.

In what are. under the very best of
circumstances, dangerous conditions.
But the idea is not new with the
Steel Company. In the early days the
mill was first. the safety of the opera
tor secondary matter, IL it was
thought about at all. In recent years,
however. every addition to the plants
of the big corporation at Steelton has
been built with the welfare of the OPP
orator in mind. Designers of recent
enlargements have devoted quite as
much thought to the man behind the
machine as to the machine itself.
This is not only right from a hu-
nlAnitarian standpoint, but 1t ought to
pay in dollars and cents. 1t is only
reasonable to believe that device
that is constantly menacing the life or
limb of the employe will be less effec-
tive from a producing standpoint than
one which offers no perils to the man
in charge. In the Arstinstance the
workman must think more of his own
safety than upon the task he is per-
forming. In the second he can give
his whole thought to the work. An
efficiency engineer. is not needed to
figure out the answer.

SUBSTITUTE FOR INSTITUTE


TN view of the wonderful success OF
the short winter courses in agricul-
i ture at State College, the proposal
of western State to present spe-
cial short courses for teachers along
the same line ought to be interesting
to Pennsylvania educators.
Farming has been benefited by
short courses why not school teach
ing" Thus argues Dean George F,
James, OF the college of education
of the University of Minnesota. BY
adopting the short-course plan of the
agricultural colleges to the needs OF
teachers, Dean James hopes to i'm
prove the teaching standards OF
his State. On March 23 school super
intendents and principals from all
parts of Minnesota will gather at the
State University for week of special
courses. designed to put them in touch
with the latest developments in edu-
cation.
This seems to be new and inter-
ton" says DIR. P. p. Claxton, United
States Commissioner Of Education. in
discussing their plan. ut would be
worth while for other universities to
investigate its possibilities"
Minnesota's "Short Course for
Teachers" will offer real university
opportunities SO far as these may be
obtained in the short space of one
week. The corps of instructors will
include DR.. Lightner Wilmer, of the
University of Pennsylvania; DR.. l.. d.
Coffman, of the University of Illinois;
Secretary c. A. Prosser, Of the Ma
tional Society for the Promotion of In
dustrial Education, and Commissioner
David Snedden, of Massachusetts.
Such a plan for Pennsylvania ought
to prove far more beneficial than the
annual Institute OF doubtful results.

aBLUE MONDAY.
BY Wing Dingcr.


There are some folks who grumble on
Monday,
No matter what they have to do,
Or whether the sun may be shining
With them Monday always is blue.
They start out to work with crouch
on,
They spoil the day ere it's begun,
They see nothing good meath the heav-
ems,
From the rise to tho set OF the sun.
Then others I know, who are different,
On Monday they start to their work
With laughter that urges performance
or duties that grouches would shirls.
with them there's no difference twixt
Monday
And the six other days Of the week;
They are happy and cheerful at all
times,
No matter when to them you speak.
So looked into matters a wee bit,
The reason I wanted to know,
Why some should be grouchy on Mon
days
While others good spirits should
show.
And found that in nearly all cases,
That those on whose days there's a
smirch,
Stick around in their homes all day
Sundays.
While the happy ones go out to
l. church.
"You use different horns for different
dances, l SUPPOSE" asked the sweet

"Oh, yes" replied the musician.

REPUBLICAN PAnTY's FUTURE

[From the Philadelphia Press.]
1t is a bright future that Senator
Borah sees for the party. All of the
signs are favorable. In the first call
to arms after the defeat, in the State
of Michigan, which in 1912 was car
ried by the Progressive party, thou
sands who had cast Progressive ballots
in the preceding November returned to
the fold and the State was won by
the Republicans, The same thing hap
pened in Maine, in the Congressional
elections. Last Fall in New Jersey
nearly 100000 who had voted the third
ticket returned to their old party al
legiance. In Maryland, at the same time
$4,000 out of $1,000 left the Progress
sive party. The recent registration in
several States discloses the same home
ward bound march.
In Senator Borahs mind there is no
doubt as to what this signifies. 1t
means that even the men who voted
against the Republican ticket because
of what they conceived to be mistake
or wrong, are too wise to abandon
permanently the name, the traditions,
the prestige and honor that they and
their forbears have established and
built up through fifty years of relent-
less political warfare 1t means that
such voters are convinced that the Re
publican party is to be the militant real
progressive force of the future

= cent eQltOrlal comments upon
the disappearance of deer from
the forests of Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and Iowa, leaving the
impression that deer are on the de-
crease in this State. Pennsylvania is
also "closed to the American elk" we
are told.
The truth of the matter is that there
arc at the present time thousands of
deer in Pennsylvania, more than there
were fifteen years ago, and they are
on the increase. Also, the State is
engaged in repopulating it's forests
with elk, several hundred of them
having been brought to this State
from the Jackson Hole country some
yeas ago and liberated. These elk
have taken to their new home sur
prisingly well and are increasing rap
Idly in numbers. They are wild elk
In every sense of the word, the State
extending to them no other protection
than that of barring gunners from
their pursuit until such time as they
can gain a firm foothold here.
The Blade notes with surprise that
wild deer within recent years have
"come almost to the outskirts of De-
troit." Twice in the past five years
the city limits of Harrisburg have been
invaded by wild deer that successfully
eluded all pursuers and made their
way back to the hills. 1t has not been

FIRELIGHT

love to sit by the embers
AS they sparkle, and fade, and creep.
Whlle twilight gathers her children
And tucks them away to sleep
When the noises of Day are softened
To a soothing, mellow Groom,
Ere the reign of the Night is ushered
BY her herald, the weird faced moon.
There's a magic balm in the cleaning
For the day-racked weary brain.
And my care-freed fancy wanders
In the paths afar from pain
The visions and dream of boyhood
Pass before me clear and bright,
In the changing Goals and ashes
AS twilight fades into night
The pillar of fire before me
Takes deeper and stronger glow.
Calling me onward and upward
As 1t did in the long ago;
And I know that my heart grows
younger,
That Tr,,yn my soul climbs nearer the

Don't mind the fellow who is con-
tinually bowling that the chances
to-day are not what they were fifty
years ago. That man was here fifty
years ago and will be here fifty
years from now. l tell you 1t is not
the famous or prominent men in
this world who are the greatest. 1t
is very often the little men who do
the big things.
So declared former Governor Edwin
8. Stuart in a speech before the Nor
ristown high school. Saturday. And
everybody will endorse his statement
When the record of this old world
shall have been completed 1t will be
found that the modest, quiet, unassum.
