"Does Show What She's ThinkingAbout" Institute Speaker

Telb Schoolma'ams

v' "There is never anything immodestIn dress that is conventional and thewoman who doesn't dare show herankle, does show what she is think-ing about," declared Dr. A. E. Win-ship. editor of the Journal of Educa-tion. in an address on "Personality"before the twentieth annual CityTeachers' Institute, at Central HighSchool this morning.

The differences between personality,conventionality and individuality werestrikingly illustrated by the speaker."Individuality is crankism run wild:it is egotism," continued Dr. Wlnshlp."Conventionality is the other extreme.Personality is making the greatestpossible use of conventionality withyourself. Personality is not innate, itis an acquired art." He asserted thatthe only natural taste any one has. isthat for milk, and just as tastes mustbe acquired, so personality must be.The teachers' greatest problem is oftento change the personality of the pupil,he said. Dr. Winship stated thatParis has set the fashion for dress forthe last 300 years and will likelycontinue to do so.

Urged to Get in ParadeThe other lecturer on the program

was Superintendent James L. Allison,of Wilkinsburg, who spoke on some of"The Teachers' Encouragements."

At the close of the morning lec-tures. Miss Eton, of the city library,asked the teachers to continue theirco-operation in making the librarymore of a public good. Dr. Downesurged all the teachers to put forththeir best efforts to make a success ofthe school parade, which will be heldin connection with the municipal cele-bration.

Penbrook Property OwnersReceive Expert Advice

The largest meeting ever held inPenbrook for public improvement pur-poses assembled last evening in thetown hall and heard the variousphases of the paving question discuss-ed by property owners, councilmenand an experienced paving contractor.

Joseph A. Miller was elected chair-man and B. R. Speas secretary. Chas.R. Walter, a contractor from Harris-burg had been invited to give his viewson the most practical method of pro-cedure. He stated that it was a hardtraveled street and should have a first-class job to insure satisfaction and ad-vised acceptance of State-aid as thecheapest and safest policy. However,if the borough chose to do its ownwork he recommended the employ-ment of an expert to safeguard theborough's interests. He referred tothe advantages of brick for a road thatwas subject to hard usage, but saidthe very best of brick must be usedand not be subject to the choice oflowest bidder. He also referred to;excellent examples of asphalt con-!structlon as the easiest to repair, butthat a good brick paving required lessrepairing. With reference to the Tel-ford foundation he advised its reten-tion, providing it was in fairly goodcondition and if low enough to permits'ifflcient concrete, binder and asphaltttJ make a first class job. This wouldrequire six inches above the Telfordstone and six Inches for curb, but B.F. Ober. chairman of the highwaycommittee, said the present founda-tion would not permit over fourInches and the required six inches forcurbing.

S. A. Fishburn advised "less talkand more cider," and said it was!necessary to get down to business assoon as possible. He spoke in favorof brick and State-aid

W. H. Wolf offered a resolution toappoint a committee to act in anadvisory capacity with the boroughcouncil.

Several contended that too manycooks spoil the broth and said theyhad every confidence in the council tohandle the matter efficiently, and ad-vised prompt consent of remainingproperty owners as the most essentialco-operation they could give the coun- |cil and State. But no serious objec- jtion was offered to the plan providingthe committee was not so large as to !be cumbersome. The resolution then icarried authorizing the chairman toappoint a committee of-seven to ad-vise with council. Names were pro-posed by the chairman but upon sec-ond consideration he was given timeto announce the names Monday Inorder to apportion them so all sectionsoi Main street would be properly rep-resented on the committee.

HAITI?A MOCK REPUBLICIn the September number of the

World's Work George Marvin statesthat Haiti is a mock republic. The 'hundred-years-old struggle of a negrocommunity to govern Itself has proveda failure, and out of the failure hasgrown almost complete economicatrophy. Socially the life of theisland has long been a quaint mixtureof bucolic content, tempered by occa-sional homicide.

Politically. Haiti Is divided betweenthe Ins and the Outs, the latter alwaysnecessarily in a large majority andtherefore only temporarily out. Bythe same token politics are very fluidin this republic; the divisions eternallyinterchangeable. In Haiti there areno parties, no well established prin-ciples of government, no platform, noplanks About 10 or 15 per cent, ofthe population make their living bypolitics, and to these gentry party,platforms and principles are allsummed up in the one shibboleth, per-sonal profits.

Anthracite Puzzlers More knottyproblems are arising in the reportingof the State's anthracite coal produc-tion for assessment of the tax underthe act of 1915 than were heard ofunder the former act and there ap-pears to be a new question every day.The persons and firms engaged in tak-ing coal from streams are opposingthe tax and the point has been raisedthat it is taken from watercourseswhich are in counties which do notproduce anthracite. Notwithstandingthe fact that the act requires assess-ment of the coal prepared for marketsome of the companies have falleninto the error of reporting on the coalshipped to market. Others are fol-lowing the coal clear from their minasand reporting on the amount receivedfor each actual shipment. The auditorgeneral's department rules that thecoal must be reported on as producedand assessed dally according to gen-eral knowledge of the market.

It has furnished the discredited revo-lutionists with new arguments andmade easily possible revolts more'seri-ous than that which ahook the foun-dations of the government two yearsago.

The evil results do not end there,for Japan has reopened the old gameot scramlbing for concessions andrights and special privileges.
