voJrNG FRIEND! IF GEORGE WASHINGTON COULD RAISE
 FROM HIS GRAVE

 As the steam ship has crowded out the sail boat, the typewriter the goose quill pen and pokeberry ink, so have the famous Byrne systems of business training, bookkeeping, stenotypwriting and shorthand taken the place of the old systems. The reason is plain; these systems cut the time and cost of becoming an expert accountant or stenographer in half, teach business as well as bookkeeping, let the student begin earning while the student of the old systems is not half thru his course; they give the student better practical working knowledge, which means better salary.
 These practical, modern, time-sav- ing systems can be had in this sec tion only at the Tyler Commercial Col lege You would not think of riding in an OK cart in preference to an au- tomobie. Then why think of study ing the old oX-cart systems of account. ing and stenography when you can get the Byrne systems which possess such wonderful advantages that they enabled the management of the Tyler Commercial College to build in the short space of fifteen years, the lar gest business training school Tn Amer ca, with an annual enrolment of more than 2,000; d school that has enrolled pupils from 36 different states and six foreign countries.

BOLDT OFTHE WALDORFASTORIA

In the current issue of the Ameri-
can Magazine is an appreciation of
George c. Boldt, the great hotel gen.
ius, by Fred. c. Kelly. The following
extracts show what manner of man is
Boldt:
1T is Boldt's theory. confirmed to
his own satisfaction many times, that
a good executive must be naturally
observant. His eyes must be shifting
to different directions, as he walks
along, so that he knows, almost uncon-
sciously. just what he has passed. A
man with executive talent, says Boldt,
should be able to talk to a guest, look
ing him right in the face and paying
polite attention to what he says, but
nevertheless with eyes alert enough
to take in what is going on around
him, all at the same time. And Boldt
demands more or less executive talent
of nearly every employe. He makes 1t
plain to all on his pay roll that their
job is looking after the entire hotel. A
man is hired, primarily, for work in
one department, but he must keep
his eyes open for anything wrong in
any other department and report 1t at
the right place.
"Boldt believes that a good hotel
waiter has an excellent opportunity
to learn by observation, and to rise
in the world. Boldt himself was once
a waiter, and now, besides having vast
wealth, he probably has no superior
as hotel man. Many other success
full hotel men were once walters.
They learned human nature, learned
the value of never-failing courtesy
and, above all, that great hotels are
built on the theory that the guest is
always right
las l stated in previous article in
this magazine, Boldt believes that by
far the greatest single factor in sue
cessful hotel management Is courtesy.
He himself owes his present place in
the hotel world to the fact that he
was once so courteous to William Wal
dorf Astor that Astor picked him to
take charge of the great hotel he was
planning to build. The beauty of
courtesy" smiles Boldt-he nearly al
ways smiles, by the way-"is its cheap
ness-if you make it yourself"
"And courtesy, Boldt believes, does
not consist merely in speaking polite
ly to your guests. For instance, he
thinks it is only courtesy that a guest
should not have to deal with any hotel
employe who is chewing gum, wear
ing a toothpick, or smoking. Even
though an employe does not deal di-

KEEP THE STREETS CLEAR

NHIEF OF POLICE WETzEL has
" acted promptly and vigorously
in ordering down the advertis-
ing banners strung across Market
street, once his attention was called
to the nuisance.
The chief is entirely justified in his
action. Harrisburg spent thousands
of dollars to clear the streets of the
central part of the city of overhead
wires. 1t would be foolish to nullify
these expenditures by permitting the
thoroughfares to be cluttered UP by
haring signs that are anything but
decorative, which obstruct the view
and which might in case of storm
prove dangerous to property.
Beside, if the privilege is accorded
to one it must be to ALL 1t would be
n pretty sight indeed, to see Market
street cris-crossed with banners strung
from every building front.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-11-28

rectly with guests at all, Boldt will not
permit him to chew gum, have a
toothpick in his mouth, or smoke
while on duty. And there must be no
taint of alcoholic refreshment on his
breath. If he is about to leave the
building, he may light a cigar just
before going out the door, but that is
the extent of the indoor smoking priv
ilege.
"One rule of Boldt's is to set a good
example in all things he eXacts from
others. He himself does not smoke,
drink, chew gum or talk loudly while
on the Job. And he will not take a
drink at his own bar.
The sight of proprietor standing
around drinking with guests he ex-
plains, might be suggestive of leisure
on his part rather than real efficiency.
If I wish to entertain somebody I do
1t in dining room in the regular
way
"Boldt has found, by the way, that
the falling off of alcoholic drinking
in recent years is really astonishing
much more so than is generally imag-
ined. At banquets, where formerly
six different drinks were served to
each guest, now there are frequently
only two, probably a little sherry fol-
lowed by champagne. In order to
have plenty, a banquet committee
usually arranges for pint of cham
pagne per guest. And always there
are many pints left over.
EARLY in his hotel experience Boldt
discovered that there is no item of
courtesy which pleases a guest much
more than simply to be remembered,
to be called by name.
THE Waldorf Astoria was not long
in successful operation before Boldt's
income was said to be five hundred
thousand dollars a year, which made
him one of the highest-paid men in
the United States.
"Hotel men from all over the
world seek out Boldt for advice. Com
paratively few high-grade hotels are
built in this country without the plans
having been submitted. to Boldt, along
with a request for suggestions. Not
long ago the head of one of the big
gest hotels in London sat in Boldt's
office telling him of the lavish man
ner in which they were equipping
their plant.
There seems to be none ready to
challenge Boldt's title as one of the
greatest hotel men of his time And
yet most of his success is based on
little beyond the application of plain
common sense"

The Yellow Streak
philadelphia Evening Bulletin1


The yellow streak that appears reg
ularly at intervals in a well-defined
class of Americans to make patriot
ism seem like a delusion and a theme
for cynics, has come to the surface
once again. Two managers of a New
York theater, Traub and Gottman,
barred four members of the crew of
the United States Hospital ship
Solace from seats for which they had
paid, merely because the men ap-
peared in uniform. Traub and Gott-
like to sit with sailors and the piti-
full thing is that Traub and Gottman
were probably reporting a fact.
The uniform of an enlisted man in
the American Navy indicates first of
all that its wearer renders an honor
able service to his country every day
of his life. The naval blue is a pre-
sumptive sign that the man who
wears 1t is fit and intelligent, and
that he has the courage necessary to
face danger and discipline. Sailors
ashore are no more unruly or effer-
vescent than college undergraduates.
yet no one ever tries to keep a COL
lege student out of a theater seat be-
cause he is college student.
The circumstance that invites the
fury of anyone in or. out of the serv-
ice is not along in that the recurrent
affront is so definitely to the uniform,
but that the most persistent insults
to the proudest of services come from
cheap minded frequenters of variety
theaters.

Shorten the Session
tAltoona Tribune.l


Although the Legislature of Penn
sylvania is not due for over a month,
it is not too soon to express the earn
est hope that the majority of the SEN
ators and representatives have already
made up their minds to advocate the
shortest session on record. This course
will win the approval of their con-
stituents more generally than almost
anything else they could do.
Much unnecessary time is usually
wasted at the opening of the sessions
OF course the committees must be ap-
pointed after the speakerl and other
officials of the House have been chosen,
but the speaker-elect is usually a mem
ber with experience and 1t should not
take him more than two or three days
to select all the committees. At all
events on the Monday following the
election of the speaker it should pc
possible to name the committees of
both houses.
A great deal of time is wasted at
the beginning of the sessions. For
two or three weeks there is very lit
tie effort to get down to working or
der, SO that the greater part of the
month of January has slipped by be-
fore the organization has been COM
pleted and the committees organized
for business. May 1t not be possible
TO expedite matters little next jan
parry? Because dilatory methods have
prevailed in the past furnishes no
argument for their continuance. On
the contrary a new departure now will
do much to win and retain the in
creased confidence of the voters of the
Commonwealth.
| Nor is there the slightest call for
the enactment of a big book of new
laws. Some measures must be pass
ed The regular appropriation bills
should be promptly introduced and as
promptly enacted. The Governors pro-
posed housing bill and the county To-
cal option act should receive imme-
date consideration. A few other meas
ures will doubtless merit attention.
But the thousands of inconsequential
measures that will be advocated by this
interest or that should receive scant
consideration We have had a surfeit
of lawmaking in this State and in the
country generally. A very popular
step will be a tremendous decrease in
acts of the assembly.
Gentlemen of the general assembly:
Organize promptly; cut your holiday s
at the beginning of the session to
the minimum; instruct your commit
tees to get down to business at once
and to report promptly all essential
| measures; do a full days work at least
five days in the week after the COM
mittees begin to report; waste no
time but work hard while you are at
| 1t. Then adjourn not later than April
| 1. 1917, and receive the grateful thanks
of your constituents. II you do this
the people will esteem you highly for
your works sake.

DEAN KIRK'S LECTURE

IN his letter to the Telegraph yester-
i day calling attention to the lee
ture of Dean Kirk of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania Dental School,
in Harrisburg Friday evening, State
Superintendent Nathan c. Schaeffer
points out that the noted dental au-
thority, among other things, will
emphasize the Importance of dental
hygiene in the schools. Just at this
time Harrisburg should be particu-
larly interested in any information it
can gather on that subject. We are
about to erect a number of school
buildings. In one of the more CEN
trally located there should be a well
equipped dental laboratory. Few peo-
pie know that the public schools of
the city are now equipped for the
examination of children's teeth in a
small way. Good work is being done,
especially among the little ones whose
parents cannot afford to send them to
a dentist, but who are sorely in need
of attention.
1t used to be considered sufficient
when the public schools taught the
Three RS" but now we know that
the physical and the moral side of
child nature requires quite as much
attention as the mental. So we have
compulsory medical examination, and
this has weeded out the unfit from the
fit and has brought about the estab-
lishment of schools for deficients and
outdoor schools for the tubercular.
In addition many children have been
saved by school physicians who dis
covered diseases in incipiency and re-
ported to their parents.
In more limited way the dental
service provided by the board of con-
troll has been of lasting benefit. The
only trouble there is that of in
adequacy. The equipment should be
sufficient to pass every pupil of the
city schools through the hands of the
examining dentists at least once
year. If Dean Kirk has any definite
information on what other cities are
doing along this line, and it is to be
supposed he has for he is a world
wide authority on dentistry, we hope
he gives it to us at length.
