For Teachers and Parents.


appropriate at this season Of the
year and it might be well for some
OF us to remember it at least 9
months out of the IL:
The biggest lobster on earth is the
father or mother who, after their
child has come home reporting
about his or her flogging. will take
the child by the arm, lead him to
school, and raise Hail Columbia
with the teacher.
Do you know, Father or Mother,
that you are preparing your child
to be first class Nothing?
There are in this old world of
ours numbers of parents who think
their child is the only child. They
have right to think so, 10 a way,
but the making of the child, edu-
cationally, is the proper raising at
home, backed up by a teacher with
good common sense. However, if
you see that your teacher has not
in his possession the latter, don't
by all means, say so in the pres.
ence OF that boy or girl or yours.
l have In mind a good mother
who has at this time a hatred for
me on account of her child being
allowed to 60 out of the school
house without its overshoes on.
Meeting her one day, she said: Il
wish that you would see that my
little girls wears her overshoes in
this cold weather when she goes
out to play, and by all means see
that her stocking cap is pulled
down over her ears good, for she
has always been subject to ear

things at home. and just can not"

do with 80 or 40. if the parent can
not see to one.

who, when her child left home to
90 to school, said: Susie. keep
wrapped up good, obey the teacher, |

when it is dismissed. Remember,
do not bring home any news, but
do your duty"
Can you see any difference?

was approached by his son. The |

We'll" said Pa. I'll attend to |
that right now" So hitcbing his |
team to the fence and taking his |
boy with him. he went across the |
field to settle with Mr.. Teacher.
Stepping into the school house
where the teacher was doing some
sweeping, which was his customary
occupation after school hours, the
Pa" walked in swearing vengeance
and would not listen to one word
from Mr.. Teacher, who was trying
in vain, to explain to the unreason-
able parent the situation. Finally,
as the conversation went on, the
teacher picked up the stove poker
and succeeded in landing the pref

conversation. as Pa had to wrap
his head in a rag and stroll home.

Carnegie Company Will
Build $5OO,OOO Tie Plant
Special TO The TELEGRAPH

Pittsburgh. March LIT was an
nounced here yesterday that an outlay
Of 100000 would be made by the
Carnegie Steel Company to build a
steel tie plant in Homestead at an
early date. A. G. Dinkey, president of
the Carnegie company, corroborated
the announcement and said that work
would begin in the near future.
The new plant will manufacture
steel ties and tie specialties, including
steepers. used by European lines. The
steel tie business in the past has
hardly justified a large outlay OF
money for special facilities for their
manufacture, but with the ever in
creasing scarcity of tie timber the
business is improving rapidly.
1t was also announced by the Car
negie officials that a plant to manu-
facture benzol had been planned and
would be built at the New Castle plant
of the company. Shutting off of the
supply formerly secured in Germany
has given impetus to it's manufacture
in this country.

ton Company Yesterday received an
order for $1,000 tons of structural
steel from the Chesapeake and Ohio

INTEREST IN AUTO
SHOWS INCREASING
Additional Features Are Being
Provided For Entertainment
of Visitors

That Harrisburg is amply able to
support two automobile shows at the
same time was proved by the crowded
conditions at both the Arena and Kel-
ker streets halls yesterday afternoon
and evening.
Clyde Myton, manager of the Arena
show, and of b. r.. johnson, manager
of the Kelker street hall show, the
attendances are increasing.
Every exhibitor says he has made
sales as a direct result of the shows,
and all wear broad smiles in conse-
quence. /. w. Dill, agent for the
Hudson and Regal cars at the Arena
reports seven sales of cars and trucks
since the opening of the show. Other
dealers have not given definite statis-
ties of sales, but all claim to have
made at least one or more.
At the Arena a cornetist has been
added to the violin and harp orches-
ira, and special musical programs will
be rendered at the remaining sessions
of the show.
The shows will wind up tomorrow
night at 10 o'clock with the awarding
of consolation prizes in the contests
for the Saxon car to be awarded as a
door prize.
