GIRLS AND BOYS

A Ill three prize winners in the
~ Telegraph essay contest on
"why is Harrisburg a. Better
City For the Boys and Girls as Re-
suit of the improvements of the Last
Fifteen Years?" are girls, and in the
order of merit no boy contestant got
nearer the head of the list than fifth
The people of Pennsylvania cities
are so accustomed to seeing girls car
ry off a majority of the honors in the
public schools that this particular as
pect of the essay contest probably will
not attract even passing notice from
the public, but we confess that we
would like to see it discussed honestly
and frankly by educators or other
qualified authority
Why is it, indeed, that the Pennsyl-
vania school girl almost invariably
makes a better showing than the
school boy when their respective men
tai measures are taken in the practical
way afforded by this essay contest? :?
Surely the subject of the Telegraph
contest is one which, If it gives ad-
vantage to either sex. favors the boys.
And see what the record shows
Perhaps 1t is all explained by some
such theory as, that while the boys are
more interested in making use of the
Fairgrounds and the other advantages
which the city has provided the girls
do more real thinking about them.
But, however that may be, the show
ing that the girls make upon the es-
say subject proves that they take a
keen interest in civic problems and
has some bearing on the contention of
J advocates of woman suffrage. who say

| 1t VIII be remem bered that MIR.
Wharton was not slow to condemn
conditions at the prison when he felt
they were not what they should be.
For that reason his praise of the Cald-
we'll administration has all the more
weight.
Warden Caldwell is now q candidate
for sheriff on the Republican ticket.
/ His record at the jail is matched by
his work as highway commissioner,
when he placed Harrisburg on the
map as a city of clean streets and
procured asphalt contracts that gave
Harrisburg the cheapest paving in the
country at the time.
Mr.. Caldwell is a high type of man.
The position Of prison warden is try
| ing at best. The problems are many
and mistakes are so easy to make.
Yet since he assumed the Office there
has not been any whisper of adverse
criticism directed at the jail, although
| it is known that secret Investigations
were made by certain agencies hoping
to reap political profit IL they could
find something to criticise.
To repeat, Mr.. Caldwell is the Re-
publican candidate for sheriff this
Fall. He is a type of the nominees
put on the ticket by the rank and file
of the party. Good, honest and able,
there is not a man from top to bot
tom against whom a word of censure
can be spoken. They are all men of
the Caldwell pattern, only he chances
to be in a place where the welcome
limelight of publicity happens to shine
most brightly.

LIKE HIS DAD
BY Wing Dinger

I've a youngster. full of mischief.
And when he does something bad.
Mother says, "You shouldn't blame him,
For he takes that from his dad"
And 1T usually is something
That to dad brings not much pride
Always in the past I've sunk back
In my easy chair and sighed.
But this week he pulled a new one
Misbehaved and broke a rule
Teacher kept him after hours
Late he came home from his school.
Asked him what he'd done--he waited,
Ere he answered quite a while;
Then in whispers "Kissed a girl, dad
Face all broken with a smile.
Mother started in to scold him,
Said he shouldn't be so bad,
But I spoke up: You can't blame him,
Darn II. he's just like his dad

ID FAD what the Secretary of thu
IN State Board of Charities, Brom
ley Wharton, has to say of tn
Dauphin county prison under tn
of Warden William W
Caldwell:
Dauphin county prison conditions
are constantly improving. The
hygienic and sanitary conditions
are first class, and most of the in
mates are being steadily employed
in cleaning and painting, which
keeps the jail neat and clean.
Under the humane and careful
supervision OF the present warden,
Mr.. Caldwell, this Jail has become
one of the best conducted in the
State. 1t is to be regretted that
the Dauphin county jail is situated
in the heart of the city, and the
Board of Charities would like to
see it removed to the outskirts.
where the prisoners could have
the advantage of out-of-door en-
ployment and fresh air.
