BENEFITS SOCIETY.

Many apologists for long hours
and low wages claim that the
short workday and high wages
necessarily result in higher costs
of production and high selling
prices and hence are contrary to
the best interests of society. That
theory is contradicted by facts
the individual production Of the
short hours, highly paid work
ers, Is vastly greater than that of
the long hours worker who al
ways works under less advan-
tageous conditions. Placing d
high estimate upon human labor
power stimulates the invention
Of machinery and the discovery
of better methods. The cumula-
tive effect of Improvements is
cheaper and increased produc-
ton, hence lower selling prices
and the benefit of all society

The legend is based on the historic
incident when, prior to the Spanish
conquest, the JemeZ mustered all
their men and boys to repel an attack
of the Apaches. When they were mus

missing.
A search for miles around at first

boy and the event.

ATTEND ORDINATION.

In st. Vincent's Seminary chapel,
Germantown, Pa, recently Auxiliary
Bishop McCort off1ciated at the ordina-
ton of four Vincentian priests, among
them Rev. John S. P. EWens, former
Episcopalian clergyman.

Church, who were received into the
Church at the same time as Father
Ewens, who was formerly curate at
st. Clements Protestant Episcopal
Church, Philadelphia.
Father Ewens is widely known
among Episcopalians. For eighteen
years he labored in the ministry of
that denomination in different parts of
the country prior to April, 1908, when
he was received into the Catholic
Church. Before coming to Philadel.

D0NT's IN SCHOOL DISCIPLINE
SUGGESTIONS FOR TEACHERS
THE DUTY OF PARENTS.

To discipline school properly, and
especially boys school, is difficult
task, says the Cleveland "UniVerse."
While it is hard to lay down a code
OF rules as to .how to do it, there are
some don'ts that would help if proper
ly observed.
Now and then teachers are found
who seek to demean and. degrade a
pupil who is an obstructionist or who
causes trouble in the school room and
who is an impeachment to the progress
of the class by his dullness, irregu-
larity or bad conduct.
We doubt that a boy is benefited
by being publicly ridiculed, or that
such ridicule helps the teacher. Boys
have a sense of justice and they will
drift to the conclusion that such an
act of the teacher is unfair and more
or less tyrannical.
A boy should not be made ridiculous
by exhibiting his shortcomings before
others, his own classmates. He ought
to be taken ito one side" and reasoned
with alone. His weak foundations
may be discovered and radical defects
found and amended.
The teachers who use sarcasm as a
means of discipline are, we think, OF
the past rather than of the present.
The patience of Job and the tact and
affection of st. Francis de Sales are
needed in the makeup of those who
teach the young.
To call names and to fasten nick
names on pupils will fill them with
lifelong resentment. The teacher is
considered by the law and by univer.
sal consent to be, in the school ROOM
parent to the children. There must
exist not only the authority of the
parent, but something of the affection
of the parent for the child. The weak
and crippled child frequently calls out
the deepest love and the most tender
care of the parent. SO sympathy
springs from the heart of a true
teacher for those who are defective in
talent.
While we believe in the proper
| exercise of corporal punishment as
frequently beneficial to many boys, we
do not approve of the teacher parad
ing about the school room with &
rattan in her hand. Even adults dc
not like the officer who persistently
parades his authority.
Parents ought to cooperate will
the teachers and sustain the authority
of the teachers and therefore to alb
stain from passing sentence on ex
parte evidence. The teacher shoult
be presumed to be right and hence
should not be criticized in the famil.
circle and condemned without hear
ing. Even the "best boys" of thu
best families" will be partial t
themselves on occasions, and some
times will not hesitate to lie to shell
themselves from the consequence O
/ bad conduct.

| DENOMINATIONAL ASSET
A BAPTIST MISSIONARY ON THE
VALUE OF THE CHURCH
PAPER.

Writing in the Baptist Standard"
the Rev. Livingston Johnson, secre-
tary of the missions of that denomina-
ton in North Carolina, says:
eve need to revise our whole think
ing in regard to the UNCONVENTIONAL
paper A vast majority of our people
regard it as liability, when, in fact
it is one of our most valuable assets
and important agencies.
when a brother, after much per-
suasion, is induced to subscribe for
the paper, he congratulates himself
upon having done a very charitable
act. He has made contribution of
two dollars to a needy cause. He
doesn't seem to think that he, his
family or the cause of Christ are to
be benefited in the least by having
the paper come into his home fifty
two times a year. In his thinking
he is out just So, which goes to the
support of those who make the paper.
Here are few reasons for the state
ment that the UNCONVENTIONAL paper is
an asset:
81. IF read, it is blessing to any
home into which it goes. In this day
when the land is flooded with all sorts
of literature, much of which is poison
Gus to the minds of the young espe-
cially, the religious paper isNneeded in
the home as never before.
q. 1t is a blessing to the church
whose members take it. A few wise
pastors, seeing the value of the de-
nominational paper as an aid in devel-
oping the members, have gotten as
many subscribers as possible in their
churches, and have induced some of
those who are taking the paper to
send it to some who would not sub
scribe One of the best assistants to
the pastor is the UNCONVENTIONAL paper,
| and if our pastors could only realize
| it, many of them would be more active
in trying to increase its circulation
''3. The paper is one of the mightiest
factors in all lines of UNCONVENTIONAL
life and activity.
"(a) 1t is a great doctrinal teacher.
IL verify believe that the denomina-
tional papers are doing more than our
puIpits toward matchmaking our peo-
pie From many of our pulpits our
distinctive principles are rarely
taught; but our Baptist papers, with
flew exceptions, ring out clearly and
Frequently upon our distinctive doc
trines. They are doing more than any
other agency in maintaining a robust
denominationalism.
/ "tbl In all our denominational &C
Itivities our papers lead. The repre-
sentatives of the several departments
Iof our work feel their dependence
upon the paper in reaching their con
stituencies. If you should take the
UNCONVENTIONAL papers away from

BIGOT WATSON OFFERS | BRIDE
EDITOR OF AUGUSTA cHRoN-
lcLE" ACCUSES NOTORIOUS DE-
FAMER OF CATHOLICS OF HAV-
ING TEMPTED GOVERNOR sLA-
TON TO LET FRANK HANG.

Thomas E. Watson, notorious de-
famer of everything Catholic, twice
indicted for sending obscene matter
through the mails and widely held to
be morally responsible for the lynch
ing of Leo Frank, is accused by
Thomas Loyless, editor OF the ALI
gusta Chronicle of having offered to
former Governor John M. Slaton, of
Georgia, a political bride to let Frank
hang.
The accusation is made, according
to a special dispatch to ''The In
quirer,' of that city, in,the course of
an arraignment of Watson that fills
three pages sof the Augusta Chron-
icle" of Sunday, September u.
Mr.. Loyless charges, says the dis
patch, that the motives underlying
Watson's campaign against Frank and
his persistent attacks on Ex-Governor
Slaton were "Watson's desire to make
money by increasing the number of
readers of his paper, he having ex-
hausted his supply of ammunition in
his attacks on Catholicism. Watsons
desire to Wreak vengeance on ex-Gov-
ernor Slaton for not having followed
his dietation, and Watson's desire to
rehabilitate shattered political influ-
ence in State affairs.
After citing a number of instances
of Ex-Governor Slaton's uprightness
and honesty and his service to the
State, Mr.. Loyless says:
about a week before Slaton rem
dered his decision in the Frank case,
and while the hearing of the petition
to commute was still in progress, Tom
Watson sent Governor Slaton word
through mutual friend that if the
Governor would let Leo Frank hang,
The (Watson) would be Slaton's friend
i for life and that it would result in
Slaton becoming United States Sena
tor next time, and the master OF
Georgia politics for twenty years to
Gomez
''Of course, Slaton spurned the sug
gestion as promptly as he would have
lspurned an offer of money-for il
meant that he should sacrifice hui
man life for the sake of his politica
Iambition.
81 dare Watson to deny this, for
have the proof of it in my possession
and he knows the man by whom car
lprove it." 81

Sleep reigns DER all, the earth is still,
Save for the stirring of the leaves,
And the sobbing voice of a little rill,
AS if it's lonesome and grieves.
The cattle still in slumber lie,
Vanished now is the dark of night,
AS Apollo colors the Eastern sky
With touches of the softest light.
And, oh, the world is all so fair,
The gray mists softly fade away,
The cocks crow breaks the Silly air
And heralds in the newborn day.
