wv against the changes made by
wv Council in the municipal work.
ing forces, the new governing
sbody of the city has at least now
gotten down to a practical working
basis. 1t has reorganized the city SER
vice along lines laid down by itself
according to its own views of eff
cheney. Its own appointees will take
their places in every department on
March /. Councilmen will no longer
find themselves besieged by job
hunters. That phase of the new gov
ernment was settled finally when they
passed the Lynch resolution yesterday.
The people of Harrisburg are much
more deeply interested in how their
city government is to be administered
than as to who administers 1t. What
they want is results, and they will
look to the commission to produce
them. The councilmen have all the
opportunity in the world to make such
improvements in the municipal SER
vice as they may deem desirable. They
are bound by no precedents and they
are to very large degree law unto
themselves. BY their accomplish
ments they must be willing to be
judged, so it behooves them to bestir
themselves in undertaking the serious
work that confronts them.
1t is true that considerable has been
done along this line, but the new form
of government is still very much in
its experimental stage, and while a
majority of Harrisburg people ac-
cepted it under protest they are ahx-
ious that it shall be given a fair trial
under the most favorable circum-
stances. Harrisburg bore good repu-
tation as a well-governed city under
the old two-council system and the
cities of the State have their eyes on
us now.
Big tasks loom up before the new
Council. There are streets to pave,
the river bank wall and parking to
complete. the Hardscrabble problem to
solve. the Paxton creek Improvement
to complete. sewers to be constructed
to the amount of 100000, parks and
QIayBTOunuS 10 10 eAlelueu Dy tnG eA-
penditure of @ similar amount, an
isle of safety and public comfort sta
tion to be erected in Market Square,
$4,000 worth of new fire apparatus to
be purchased and a number of bridges
to be erected. A city planning COM
mission is to be created. the work of
the Health Department extended and
improved, a new building code adopted
and scores of other things to be done
incident to the change of government
that will require the careful and con-
slant consideration of the commission
ers il they are to be done as the
people expect them to be done.
1t was natural that there should be
changes in the city's working force
under the new commission form of
government. The councilmen have
settled that question and there should
be no more occasion for pickering OF
controversy over the matter 1t has
been settled according to the views OF
majority of the councilmen and It
should now be forgotten. The time is
here for real action and not a moment
should be lost in taking up the inn
portant work of the year,

GOOD ROADS; GOOD SCHOOLS

"HE United States Department of
Agriculture is engaged in an
i effort to illustrate the relation
between bad roads and poor
schools. In a voluminous report Just
issued it is shown that the rural popu-
1ation is more willing to support bet
ter schools to-day than at any pre-
vious time. 1t is being realized that
all educational activities or agencies
must be more or less correlated, and,
more than all else, that they must be
made accessible to the children.
In many counties where bad roads
prevail, most of the schools are of the
antiquatcd one-room variety. They
arc usually located along bad roads

schools are usually in session, become

For their pleasure was the keynote
