TUESDAY EVENING. DEC. 20
THE STATE EDUCATORS

1T is with particular pleasure that
Harrisburg welcomes back to the
Il city of it's organization the State
Educational Association. There are
few like it in the country and none
has a record of doing more in the
cause of training of youth. Its MEM
bership and influence have been grow
ing steadily because it's purposes are
high and it has taken the lead in that
advancement of education which is
making Pennsylvania so much talked
of and which properly goes with the
movements for health, safety and well
fare now occupying so much of public
attention.
Furthermore, the people of the sec
ond State in the Union have shown
appreciation of the worth of educators
by selecting for Governor one of the
former presidents of the association
and conspicuous figure in its councils
for well nigh twenty years.
In the siXty-five years of its exist
ence this association has played a big
part in shaping legislation and its new
custom of meeting here just before the
assembling of the States lawmakers
affords a means of securing the opin-
ion of those vitally concerned in vari-
Gus measures suggested for the better
ment of the school system and admin
istration of its affairs. There are many
things proposed just now and the ideas
of the pedagogues will be useful in
determining their value as statutes of
the Commonwealth.
All Harrisburg joins in welcoming
the teachers and their friends and
wishes them pleasant visit to the city
which has often entertained them.

hostility aroused in certain quarters
over the Presidents non-committal
attitude with regard to woman's suf-
frage and his open opposition to the
Hobson amendment for national pro-
hibition. In these matters the Presi-
dent was evidently playing politics.
but in such a laundering manner as
to do himself more harm than good.
Then, too, there is yet to be ex-
planned that one term plank in the
Baltimore platform. William Jennings
Bryan was the author of that para
graph, and when he accepted the
nomination President Wilson sub
scribed to it. It would be interesting
indeed to hear from the Secretary of
State just what he meant when he
wrote it and how. under present con-
ditions, it is to be interpreted.

BELGIUM
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox

by Ella NneeIeF WILCOX
(The following poem was contribute
cd to King Albert's Book. which was
published last week in London and
more than one million copies sold for
the benefit of the Belgian refugees.
Only one hundred and fifty people
were asked to contribute to this vol
ume. This is the first publication of
these lines i'm America.)
Ruined? Destroyed? oh no; though
blood in rivers ran
Down all her ancient streets; though
treasures manifold,
Love- wrought, me-mellowed, and be-
yond the price of gold,
Are lost, yet Belgium's star shines still
in Gods vast plan.
Rarely have kings been great since
kingdoms first began;
Rarely have great kings been great
men when all was told.
But by the lighted torch, in mailed
hands, behold
Immortal Belgium's immortal king,
and man.

MORE THAN JOB Ar STAKE

A LII records have been broken
~ during the past thirty days at
4 = the naturalization bureau of the
New York county clerks office
when 4,143 men applied for papers
admitting them to citizenship. This is
the largest number of applicants ever
recorded in any one month.
The rush for citizenship is attributed
by officials to the steps taken to en-
force the law providing that only citi-
zens of the United States shall be en-
ployed on public work, thus barring
aliens from employment on the new
subway construction. But it takes five
years to make a citizen, and in the
State of New York the first papers
mean only that the possessor of them
intends to become a citizen as soon as
he is eligible. Before this large num-
ber can reasonably hope to acquire
the right to vote and to obtain en-
ployment on public works under the
present law trains will be running in
the new subway and they will probably
find themselves performing some other
kind of work widely separated from
any kind of political control.
The nationalities represented are
largely those of the countries now at
war and it is likely. if the officials look
deeply enough, they will see in this
rush to be. naturalized a widespread
desire to be exempt from military
duty abroad and to become citizens of
a land that does not rush hastily into
war

ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM

TVHE state economy and Efficiency
Commission hit the nail right on
= the head in its references to the
State Highway Department
when it declared that the duty placed
upon the department should be ''in
accordance with anticipated revenues"
and that sufficient appropriations"
be made for the work.
The last Legislature gaily voted
money the State did not have and the
Governor had to cut down the amounts
appropriated to make them fit the
revenue. When the bills left the leg
isIative halls it appeared that magnifi-
cent provision had been made for a
splendid scheme of highway improve
ment. The scheme was as fine as could
be asked, only the lawmakers were
prodigal with what dear old Father
Penn did not have in his strong box.
The departments responsibilities,
however, were not lessened by the
exercise of the pruning knife on the
appropriations and it was further em-
barrassed by the captious course of
the fiscal officers over use of the auto
mobile license revenue for mainten-
ance purposes.
The Legislature added so many
miles to the States main highway
system that by June l. next, it will be
over 10000 miles; it provided for sub
stantial aid for building of dirt" roads
and for various other things TO make
our 10000 odd miles of roads the best
in the nation. To carry out all of the
projects authorized would put an aw-
full dent in the States revenue for the
next decade
1t therefore remains for the law
makers to select what work shall be
pushed along, to find out what it re-
quires in the way of money and then
to vote the funds, establishing a pro-
gram of systematic appropriations
and giving the people something to
anticipate and officials the where
withal to meet the expectations.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT

TO institution in Harrisburg has
M taken greater strides in the last
half-dozen years than the Har-
risburg Academy. From a school
with hardly two score pupils and q
reputation confined to a few colleges
it has become one of the best known
of the secondary schools of Pennsyl-
vania, a real preparatory school, and
with opportunities that are large in
deed. The growth of the Academy in
enrolment and in fame has been of
advantage to Harrisburg. For years
we have lGmented the fact that we
have no college, no large educational
institution such as have Carlisle, Get
tysburg, Lancaster. Allentown and
other places. We have two excellent
high schools and material for a third,
but we have not had a distinctively
Harrisburg institution. The Academy
years young. 1t has an enrolment of
students that has touched its maxi
mum. 1t has all the students it can
handle and it has overflowed into sur
rounding dwellings, which are neither
fitted to be schoolrooms or dormi-
tories.
The Academy has reached that point
where it can be made a great insti-
tuition of its class. a credit to the city,
something in which everyone can take
the pride that is taken by the people
of Andover. Lawrenceville, Concord
and other towns in the preparatory
schools within their limits. 1t is graft
flying now to learn that the alumni
have pledged their support to the trus-
tees and Headmaster Brown in de-
veloping the institution. The numer-
Gus alumni can be tower of/strength
and help not only their school and
its pupils, present and to come, but
their city as WELL .a....

COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDS

"HERE is sound common sense in
the proposal to place the con-
= duct of rural public schools in
the hands of county boards of
directors. The recommendation comes
from a special committee, headed by
DIR. Nathan C. Schaeffer. State Super
intendent of Public Instruction, ap-
pointed year ago by the State Edu-
cational Association, and is the basic
conclusion>of a report covering many
points of school betterment, following
A survey of the entire educational sys-
TEN of Pennsylvania. The county
board would have power to levy county
school tax, to fix boundaries for school
districts regardless of township lines,
furnish supplies at the expense of dis
trict boards when they fail to pur-
chase them promptly, elect the county
superintendent and his assistants and
have general supervision of the work
of attendance officers.
Anybody who has given thought to
the school needs of the State will see
the wisdom OF these Suggestions. The
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-12-29

present system of township control is
cumbersome and obsolete Tho tend
ency now is toward Capitalization of
schools and increased efficiency. Lit
tie can be done in this direction until
the township school limit is wiped out
and districts rearranged to permit of
centralized effort. The township line
is a stumbling block to educational
development. It prompts school di-
rectors-if they be narrow, and not
few of them are-to sacrifice the best
interests of the school to keep down
tax rate. and 1t is a bar to the erec-
ton of hundreds of much needed
centrally located schools. In a large
majority of instances the township
school has been successful. not because
of the school board elected to direct
it, but in spite of that fact.
1t is but logical to suppose that a
small board elected to serve an entire
county would be composed of bigger,
broader men than can be found in
any one township, no matter how
carefully the district selections are
made. Also. a county board would be
less responsive to purely local preju-
dices and the larger interests of the
schools would be no doubt better
served under the system proposed
than has been possible even under the
most favorable administration of the
law as it stands.
At all events, the very fact that a
no less parsonage than Dr. Schaeffer
subscribes to the recommendation will
warrant the Legislature in giving the
subject most serious consideration.

OPPOSITION WITHIN PARTY

-HERE should be no surprise over
the news from Washington that
L opposition is developing in the
Democratic party to the renom-
ination of President Wilson in 1916.
Any President who has conducted
himself in office as has the present
incumbent since the very moment of
his Inauguration must expect to have
enemies even within the ranks of his
own party organization. Indeed, the
President has been quite as autocratic
in his dealings with Democrats, who
did not submissively bow to his every
wish, as he has with Republicans and
Progressives. Soon he will be seeking
the favor of those he has snubbed.
and it is but natural that he should
find them quite as cold to his desires
tween the President and the Senate
over patronage distribution only tends
to increase this feeling between the
executive and many of the leaders of
the Democracy.
Texas and Louisiana are developing
strong opposition to the Presidents
second term ambition and 1t is by no
means surprising that this is so. The
tariff slashing dictated by the White
House has been responsible to a large
degree for the deplorable business con-
ditions the South Is at present expert
encing, and the two States named have
been particularly hard hit, not only in
this respect but by what many of
their people believe to have been
neglect on the part of the Administra-
ton to come to the aid of the cotton
growers in their recent distress.
There is to be considered also the
