Tribune-Times Office, ts. IN AND ABOUT THE CITY “DAB'S DECALOGUE” lb NEEDED BY PARENTS Prof. J. B. Robertson Approves Sug gestions by Philadelphia School Su perintendent. Dr. T. O. Broome, superintendent of the Philadelphia schools, at a meet ing of the Big Four Fathers Asso ciation recently presented the follow iiUE suggestions which he termed “Dad’s Decalogue’’ and which Prof. J. B. Robertson, superintendent of the county schools, passes on to the public here: Do not expect the teacher to con trol your child, if you have failed at home. Habits of obedience and re spect for authority must be learned first at home. Fathers, know your sons. Mothers, know your daughters. Children who have been taught always to eo-nfide in their parents can be trusted any where. Find some daily home duties or chores for your boy or girl to do. and they will iiane to appreciate in soro<* degree the sacrifices you are making for them. Don’t give children mn"! spending money. Let them earn it: otherwise nr excellent opportunity to acquire the habit of thrift is lost. Where children are far enough ad vanced to have home study, be sure that they regularly set aside the same time for it every day. Regularity is a good habit to acquire. Do not believe every report your child brings home. All children do not lie, but infst children have strong imaginations which tend to operate in their own favor, if they are guil ty. Do not take the part of your child against the teacher before hearing both sides, and do not do it after wards. In nine times out of ten you will find, to your embarrassment, that your child was wrong, and in the tenth case, it is better to suffer a slight injustice to your child than to destroy the teacher's influence over him. If you have a complaint to make, go first to the principal of the school, not to the superintendent, a board member or ethers. Do not expect miracles. Not all children are equally apt. The school trains minds‘but does not furnish them. Do not apply tbe adult standard to the work of children. Do not up braid your boy because be can not do sums as well as you can. And when new things are tried in ahe school, consider where your business would be if you still used the same things that were used when you were a boy. If you do this, you will not criticize, all new.inovations in school work.

BIBLE CLASS MEMBERS DISCUSS CHURCH WORK Members of Class of the Forfst llill Method is: Church Discuss lYrbletus at Oyster Supper. Discussion of various problems of their Church with special emphasis on matters giertaining to their class, featured the meeting of the mem bers of the Men's Bible ('hiss of the Forest Hill Methodist Church Friday 1 evening. Members of the official board of the Church were guests at the meeting (lining which an oyster -upper was served. A. G. Odell, 11. 8. Williams and Rev. T. F. Higgin- were speakers at the meeting, each touching «u some phase of tbe Church work. A fine spirit of interest wa- . .anifested. with siiecial interest .shown in the discus sion of the revival services to begin in the Church tomorrow. At the Star Theatre .Monday and Tuesday. Raymond Griffith play* the role of the hero, a Confederate spy.' His general tells him lie must go west to Virginia City, the site of the famous Comstock Lode, the source of the i l.nion's war finances, and divert the next wagon train .if gold to the South. Griffith’s experiences en route to! the western city are varied and he becomes a central figure in '.loldups, Indian battles and love affairs with foir ladies. He falls in love with two , of them in particular, a brunette and i a blonde. Each falls in love withhim | and each girl admires the other. It i is a difficult triangle. By the time Griffith obtains the | gold he ia arrested for highway rob- I bery. He reveals bis identify as a J member of the Confederate Army and | says * can be held merely as a I primmer of war. He is informed that ] the war is over and that he is just , a common robber. Just before be is I about to make a quick exit from this life with the aid of quick western justice, ffie I iris save his life. In tbe end he is forced to decide I which of '•the girls whom he loves equally well, and who Jove him, he jwffil marry. The way hf settles the J difficulty and brings to an end his hectic career in the cause of the Con- I j federuey is the new and refreshing | finish to the story.

These arc Central and Forest Hill Methodist Churches, the first service In tfie meeting to be held at 11 o’clock tomorrow morjung at eneb Church. Rev.. J. M. Varner, jiastor of the Epworth Methodist Church, reports that sickness among his congregation makes it necessary to postpone the oiiening of his meeting. Rev. E. Myers, pastor of the West ford Church, stated this morning that he revival in his church probably will begin tomorrow a week, and similar plans are held for Harmony Church congregation. These revivals also hqve been postponed on aeeount of ill ness among the congregations. Rev. Roy T.

Dickson 4 Company, the average now standing at 119.04 against 119.76 for the previous week. While there were oo Hpeetucular changes, declines of $1 to $3 were re- j corded. Trading in common and pre ferred Htocks was very quiet in the early part of the week witji increasing activity at the close of tbe week. Dr. C. E.

Carroll say in their new bask on the newspaper, “What Is News?’’ just published. , “The newspaper which poisons if* product poisons itself. Suppression of important or pertinent facts in tbe interest of popularity, Hass, gang, clique or self-interest is the equiva lent of a death warrant if persisted , in. Os this the tall of dead newspa pers is sufficient testimony. All phases of the newspaper’s rela tion to the myriad activities of mod ern life are touched ou in the book, which describes news as “accelerated literature" and the newaiiaper as an institution “which is writing litera ture as the clock ticks." 1 The authors are members of the staff of The Chicago Tribune. Ijeecb is known as a writer on economic topics under the pseudony of “Scrutator,” while Carroll is an instructor in the Medill school of journalism at North western university. The writers declare that newspaper men long have had a triple rlasitica tion of news based on the themes of money, love and religion. “To be more s|>ecifie and probably more en lightening, news interesrt as disclosed by the world in review as it tumbles 11 day or night upon the copy desks from wires, cables, hot front the reimrter's typewriter or cooler from the mails, seems to be summed up thus: “Life and death, desire for amuse ment. curiosity, ambition and cupid ity, weaith and poverty, religion.-: hope, generosity and stinginess, honesty mid dishonesty, heroism and fear.” XVliii l crime is called “the most in teresting of all news themes—judged by circulation gains and popular in terest.” the authors assert that “as the cost of publishing has increased and the volume of crime has increas ed the proportion of all crime that wins. a place in the news has waned until it is less tiian one-half of 1 per cent, in the larger dailies." “The idea that the suppression of crime news„\vouid lessen crime ignores tile fact that newspapers are by no means the only method for the dis semination of information. They have never superseded the gossip and the grape-vine telegraph.” Likewise the authors find that com paratively little of available sex news is printed, although citing the sub ject as one of wide interest. “Sex will disappear from the nows when newspapers are written and read by Robots. Men and women and their problems as such always have been the theme Os accelerated litera ture as of nearly all other sorts. “But just as in crime, the very abundance of sex news in time forces a process of selection, until a very minute fraction of sex news ever gets into the newspapers and that is us- i ually selected because it carries with it some unusual feature or appeal— exactly as the sex of great literature is always sojnethiug vastly more than sex.” The relation of advertising to news papers is commented upon. “It has become conventional to say that a newspaper lives on its by-product, ad vertising." The authors deny this, saying; “It probably is true today that tbe great majority of newspaper advertis ers are as dependent on the newspa pers as they are on the railroads, the pest office or the telephone for their continued existence and functioning." At a conference of negr.i preachers in America a visiting bishop was look ing at the various examination papers and came upon one marked 101 per cent. “See here. Brother Jones," he asked the worthy who was conduct ing the test, “what basis does yo' base s o’ answers on?” "100 per cent." adyrsed the minis ter. "But how does this man come to be marked 101 per cent?” "Oh. yo’ see. sub." answered the minister, "he answered one question we didn't ask!” Young Husband—Last night when 1 came home, my wife had my chair drawn up before the fire, m.v slippers ready for me to put on Old Friend—How did you like her new hat?
