But as business has revived there is
which will be declared on Thursday
next, will be made payable in cash.
Present Good Time
The present is an excellent time to
carry through a merger program.
Money is plentiful and seeking profit
able investment. The stocks of the
two companies concerned are selling
at comparatively low market values.
The steel industry is reviving and the
prospects are excellent if new COM
pany should be formed to supply ad-
ditional capital. The two companies
are naturally so constituted that "A
merger is practical. The plants of the
Cambria are at Johnstown, in this
State. and those of the Pennsylvania
are at Steelton, and at Sparrow's Point
where a shipbuilding plant is located.
One of the first steps of the manage
ment of "a consolidated company wouiu
no doubt be the enlargement of the
shipbuilding plant.
In connection with the statement is
sued by the Pennsylvania Railroad
management, was one to the effect that
no merger of the steel companies is
contemplated. But if the railroad
parts with control of the two COM
panies it would not be in a position to
say what the new owners might do,
and a merger would be the chief OBJ
ject of Mr.. Donner and his friends in
exercising their option.
What Merger Would Mean.
/ A combination of the plants of the
! two companies would enable the con-
solidated steel corporation to build
ships make steel rails, supply wire
! products, including all sorts of wire
nails; make steel shapes, which enter
/ into the construction of buildings and
bridges; erect bridges, build cars and
| furnish other steel products. The
! Pennsylvania Steel Company has q
/ supply of ore in Cuba and the Cam
bria has a big supply in the Lake
Superior district and in addition owns
large coal fields which would insure i
supply of good fuel.

Reports that Henry C. Frick has OBJ
tanned an option on the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company's controlling inter-
ests in both the PENNSYLVANIA and
Cambria Steel Companies and is plan
ming q merger, were declared to be
sroundless in a statement issued at
the Philadelphia offices of the railroad
company yesterday.
In the same statement however, 1t
is declared that W. II. Donner, presi-
dent of the Cambria company and
executive chairman of the board of
directors in the Pennsylvania Steel
Company, holds an option "on a por-
ton of the Pennsylvania Company s
holdings, both in the Cambria Steel
This is taken by many steel men to
mean that the merger plans are
actually being considered, if not al
ready perfected.
First Authoritative News
This official statement issued yester-
day by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, which controls the Pennsyl-
vania Company, is the first authorita-
tive information which has been given
upon the subject. The Pennsylvania
Company owns S22,504.100 worth or
430,0S2 shares of Cambria Steel stock
which is slightly more than 81 per
cent. of the total issue and the control
I OF Cdln Dfla Is therefore vested Ine
Pennsylvania Company
The Pennsylvania Company also
owns S9,15S,300 of the total issue of
2O,5s7, 500 of Pennsylvania Steel
! Company preferred and s7,3SS.900 OF
| the total issue of S10,750, 900 of Penn
| sylvania Steel common. Thus the
company is also the owner of a con-
trolling interest in the Pennsylvania
Steel Company.
Management Satisfactory
1t has often been rumored that
| Henry c. F'rick had an option on the
| holdings of the PENNSYLVANIA Com
pany in the two steel companies
named. Mr.. Frick is already a large
| individual shareholder of Cambria. AS
he is a director of the Pennsylvania
| Railroad Company and the rumor that
| he had procured an option might be
construed as rejecting upon the Penn
! sylvania management, the company
/ took occasion yesterday to state that
| it is entirely untrue that Mr.. Frick
holds such an option.
| Mr.. Donner, the president of Cam
! bria, and chairman of the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company, is very close
! business and social friend of Mr.
Frick.
May Join Both Companies
The fact that Mr.. Donner has an
option on large holdings of both oi
| these steel companies mas revived the
report that he intends to exercise the
options with a view of bringing both
companies under a single manage
ment through a merger. This Is
strengthened by the fact that Penn
sylvania Steel preferred stock yester.
day advanced to s66 per share, the
highest price touched this year.

and pointed out that efforts were being made
here to remedy the evil.
There isn't school room in the state which
does not house pupil who demands special At
tention and care from the teacher. Too often the
teacher is satisfied if the class whole re-
ceives the instruction outlined in the course, and
she leaves it to the individual ability Of the pupil
to grasp the lesson and keep up with his class
mates.
Again, there are many pupils who have mark
ed ability in srasping certain subjects, but have
difficulty in understanding other topics taught
in the class. Such pupils ought to receive the
constant attention Of the teacher. little private
work often helps the backward pupil over the
rough places.
There of course many children who are
backward in apprehending all subjects taught.
To arouse the mental faculties of such children,
to quicken their powers Of grasping their lessons
requires not only long patience but also pedagogy
ical skill. A wide awake teacher, however, often
is able to make these children understand the
work, and transforms the dull routine Of the
school room into place where they enjoy them
selves.

Helping the Backward Child.

When Miss Jean Bernard, clerk of the state
board of education, criticised school officials for
paying too much attention to school courses
adapted to the general mass Of children, and
pleaded for attention to the individual pupil, she
touched on vital subject. Her paper before a

and Corrections evoked general discussion.
Superintendent Giles of the Richmond schools
admitted there was much truth in the structure
