THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT

IT speaks well for the good Judgment
III of the newly elected county super
intendent of schools. Frank E.
Shambaugh, that he believes in a
closer cooperation between the par
ents and teachers, and If he succeeds
in developing this much-needed in
terest on the part of fathers and
mothers of pupils, he will do more to-
ward making a success of his admin
istration, perhaps, than by any other
one thing he might do.
1t is unfortunately true that in too
many homes there is little interest
taken in what the schools are doing for
the boys and girls. The average father
or mother looks over the monthly or
quarterly report, sees if Johnny or
Mabel is keeping we'll up in the eigh-
ties, signs his or her name and lets it
so at that. But the parents duty to-
ward the child in the matter of educa-
ton certainly does not stop here.
Every father and every mother should
get into close relationship with the
teacher of the son or daughter, with
the instructor make study of the
child's needs, aspirations and natural
aptitudes, and do everything possible
in the home to encourage these
natural bents and develop these apti-
tudes. If there was more co-opera-
tion between teachers and parents
there undoubtedly would be fewer
natural born agriculturists studying
law and fewer who are born for the
law following the plow. and so on, ad
infinitum.
In the agricultural districts espec-
tally, there should be a decided CO.
operation between parent and instruc-
tor, and Mr.. Shambaugh does well to
plan to meet this need.
Another thing Mr.. Shambaugh pro-
poses to do is to divide the teachers
of the county into four or five groups
to meet the school heads once or twice
year. In such small group confer
ences the teachers will undoubtedly
get into closer fellowship with each
other and better and freer exchange
of ideas will surely result than in the
annual county institutes where all the
teachers of the county foregather
Whatever projects for the develop
ment of Dauphin's educational system
may be undertaken by the new super
intendent. every parent and every
school director should be with him and
back of him that these projects for
the good of the boys and girls-the
men and women of the future-may
be speedily put into operation.

who, in the event of the Republican
party's return to power, would be its
chairman.
1t cannot be supposed that Senator
Penrose's active participation in the
framing of three tariff bills, beginning
with the Dingley tariff under President
Mckinley. would be Of no service to
him or to Pennsylvania in the framing
of fourth. We are not impressed by
the argument or inference that the
extraordinary knowledge of the indus
tries of the State and country, which
Senator Penrose is known to have,
would be of no value to these indus
tries. Nor are we prepared to believe
that the Craftsmanship Of the COM
mittee which will handle the next
tariff bill, or even a membership on
that committee, is matter of so little
significance that it can be brushed
aside as unworthy of consideration.
Also, it is futile to say that Senator
Penrose could not be reelected If he
were renominated. Mr.. Dimmick must
possess prophetic vision not vouch-
safed to most mortals if he can fore
tell in May what the 100000
voters of Pennsylvania will do in No
vember. And moreover, it is reason
able to assume that the candidate who
receives the majority of Republican
votes at the Republican primary would
stand the best chance of receiving the
necessary plurality of votes at the gen.
eral election in November.
These are plain facts which Mr..
Dimmick cannot ignore without max
ing himself liable to the charge of ap-
pealing to prejudice rather than to
reason.

BASEBALL TO-DAY!

TODAY, beneath blue skies and
amid gentle breeZes that make
i Island Park as delightful as a
recreation resort, the Tri-State
baseball league opens its eleventh sea-
son in Harrisburg with prospects
bright for successful summer.
1t is far cry from the fast league
ball of to-day, as the Tri-State knows
it, to the semi-professional ball of the
Farnsworth cup contests, but through
1t all those who have been at the head
of the sport in Harrisburg have striven
to one end, and that the presentation
of clever, snappy baseball games in
Harrisburg.
Only once in all these years has
the pennant come to Harrisburg, and
it would seem about time for the flag
to fly again from the masthead at the
Island grandstand. But whether at the
p or not, all those who know Man
ager George Cockill will be satisfied
that he is getting the very best out of
the material at hand, and better even
than that, is playing fair, square, hon
est baseball.
Harrisburg, the present home of the
head Of the great National League,
and with the reputation of having de-
veloped such men as Eddie" Foster,
Chief" Meyers and Charles Albert
Bender, ought to be among the lead
ing baseball towns in the country.
No team plays its best before sparsely
occupied bleachers and it is up to the
fans" quite as much as t. the play
ers themselves to make the season sue
cessful.

THE FIRST WHO FELL
(At Vera CRUZ
BY Grantland Rice


He has come back home, asleep,
Yet within his resting rlace
From the outer darkness deep,
Loves pale lilies hide his face;
And beneath blue summer skies,
Where he dreams below the sod,
But a single rosebud lies
Now between his heart and God.
From the day-gleam to the night
He has passed, and yet afar
He has found greater light
Than we know from sun or star;
He has found rarer CLEAN
Where no weary tears may blur,
He will know sweeter dream
Where the wind-blown grasses stir
He has come back home, asleep,
With the flag above his face;
With the starry fold to keep
Guard above his resting place;
And beneath blue summer skies,
Where he dreams below the sod,
But single rosebud lies
Now between his heart and God.

POLITICAL SlDEuCHTS

We're not hearing so much about
few rich men putting up the money
to run the Democratic machine as we
used to.
Farmer" Greasy and the goat
can go out and talk over experiences.
Some questions asked by one
Michael j. Ryan are also unanswered
up to date.
The policy of silence sometimes
enables folks to get away with it, but
once in a while it does not work.
Greasy should have taken "hs
fathers advice" Maybe he was afraid
to do it.
The Democratic primary cam
raign is becoming so interesting that
one almost feels sorry that it is to end
so soon.
Greasy had better go back home
and look after his farmer friends.
Ryan has been busy up that way.
Suppose any Republican official
had ever neglected his work like Berry
has done to go out and work for
Mccormick. what would have been
said by a certain lt-finding organ?
Berry has been grinding so long
on one tune that his records sound as
though the edges were getting worn.
-Palmer's final campaign account
should be most interesting.
Judge eBonniwell appears to be as
sharp to Greasy as he was to McCor-
mick.
If Palmer has spent over $4,000,
wonder what some other Democratic
candidates have spent.
Being a Democratic candidate is
a pretty expensive thing these days.
Many friends of County Chairman
William Fl. Horner are commencing
him on the impartial stand he took in
the county school superintendent elec-
tlon. He Is a school director and took
no hand because of his party position.

New News Of Yesterday
An Instance of GladStone's
Prophetic Insight
BY Holland.

A year or two before the death OF
William .. Gladstone. Chauncey ~
Depew, who at that time was prcsi-
dent OF the Kew York Central Rail-
road, heving his career as a Senator
before him met the grand old man"
at a dinner in London. II was not
their first meeting. AS early as 1850
Gladstone nd Depew met az the
house OF common friend, and
Depew was astonished not merely at
the amount Of information respecting
America which Gladstone revealed in
the conversation, but also at the per-
sistency with which Gladstone ques-
toned him respecting certain promi-
nent Americans-pot merely those
who were conspicuous in public lie.
but some who had gained interna-
tional reputation for large achieve
meht I'm the world of finance, COM
merce and industry.
Gladstone recalled that earlier con-
versation while chatting with Depew
after dinner on the occosian of the
later meeting. The opportunity arose
for saying to Gladstone that in the
United States a strong disposition had
been developed since the successful
arbitration by which the difficulties
between Great Britain and the United
State-represented by the so-called
Alabama claims for damages inflicted
upon American commerce by the Con-
federate privateer Alabama--were
peacefully settled TO extend the prin-
ciple Of arbitration in the hope that
thereby world peace might be es-
tablished in the future.
Gladstone instantly became very
earnest Depew observed the peculiar
/ expression which came into the Eng
/ lishman's eyes when discussing @ sub
iect I'm which he was deeply interest
ed. He said
Mr.. Depew in modern times many
of the leading statesmen of the world
/ have In days when peace prevailed
expressed a strong hope that the way
would be discovered by which per-
manent peace could be established
among the nations of the earth. But
/ ! have observed that when great
crises have arisen these statesmen
I have turned their attention from
peace TO war.
81 wish with all my heart that the
( principle OF arbitration could be per-
manently established but my expert
ence and my knowledge. not only Of
human nature but of that composite
nature which is the characteristic of
each nation. teaches me that the hope
of peace must continue a mere hope.
Look at Europe-great armies
maintained constantly, and a fearful
/ taxation on the people on account Of
/ that; population growing very rapid
] ly for which an outlet must be found.
That means the establishment Of
colonies, and colonization soon or
later involves friction with other ma
tions. which usually leads 70 war.
81 cannot look into the future with
out obtaining a vista of a great strug-
gle upon the Continent of Europe
To me il seems inevitable / hop,
that my own country may not be
drawn into IT, / cannot look far
enough ahead to picture forth in my
Imagination what the results Of d
contest Of that kind upon civilization
will be. My heart and soul are for
peace, but my judgment tells me that
permanent peace is a condition Of
rare and finer civilization than the
one we now possess.

To be sure, you can't tell where my
lady's sympathy lies by the way she
is dressed, with beautiful disregard
for the fitness of things or else a strict
adherence to President Wilson's neu-

Cossack's coat of Prussian blue.
Coat dresses fastening across the

Many of the long skirted Cossack
coats or RedingOte suits have two
rows of brass buttons down their

like those Tommy Atkins wears.

for it takes the form of craving for
