STATES SUMMER
SCHOOLS PLANNED
Will Commence Operations on July
19 Under the Arrangement
of State Board Chiefs

Pennsylvania's six special summer
schools for the training of teachers to
take up work in continuation and vo-
cational schools will open on July 10.
The original intention was to open the
schools on July 6, but this has been
given up. The schools will close the
middle of August.
The school authorities in Pittsburgh,
Philadelphia, Scranton, Erie, Altoona
and Reading, where the schools will
be located. have been invited to help
and some have already granted use of
buildings. The courses will be open
to qualified teachers of q year or more
successful teaching in this State, men
and women being eligible. Applicants
should be either normal school grad
yates. technical school grades or
special school or grade teachers.
The primary purpose of the summer
schools. which are being established
by the State Board of Education, is to
get the teachers who will be needed
under the new child labor law, as it
has been found in preparing. for the
continuation schools that very few
properly trained teachers for this
special form of work were available,
considering the demands which it is
expected viii be made.
Providing for the teachers Is the
first step being taken to supply the
type of schools contemplated under
the Cox act of 1915. No tuition will
be charged and the State will pay all
expenses. There will be courses in
four academic subjects, bearing on

WOMEN TAKING ACTIVE.
PART IN RELIEF WORK
Without Their Aid Not Much
Progress Toward Helping Nom
combatants Would Be Made

Without the aid of the woman's or
ganizations in the United States, the
work of aiding the noncombatants of
Belgium would show a vast decrease.
From various parts of the country re-
ports have come to Mrs. Lindon w.
Bates, chairman of the Womans Sec
ton of the Commission for Relief in
Belgium, II Broadway, showing that
the women of the country have been
and are unceasing in their activities.
In California, Missouri, Oklahoma,
Minnesota, the Dakotas, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, in New England and the
southern and western states, contri-
buttons secured by the funds of wo-
mems clubs and societies have been
most generous.
In New York State in particular, the
activities have been notable. A Utica
branch of the commission was recent
ly formed, and the following officers
have been elected Bishop Olmsted,
chairman; Charles ]. Lamb, of the
Utica Trust and Deposit Company,
treasurer; Mis- Elsla Hoffroan, secre-
tary. The meeting at which the or
ganization was perfected was held at
the residence of Bishop Olmsted. A
letter from Miss e. ]. Farnsworth.
State chairman, of the Woman's Sec
ton of the Commission, was received.
and in it she expressed her great
qualification at the progress the work
was making in the city of Utica. Miss
Josephine Roche, of Denver, Colorado,
who is now working in behalf of
organization for the Commission for
Relief in Belgium, will address a
mass meeting to be held under the
auspices of the local committee on
May IL. other prominent speakers
will also be heard.
In Goshen, N. Y, a similar COM
mittee was recently organized, and
several hundred dollars were raised
through a popular contribution, the
proceeds of which were expended in
food, which was shipped to the COM
missions docks at the Bush Terminal
in Brooklyn.
One of the novel features adopted
by the women to raise funds is an
nounced at st. Paul, Minnesota,
where at about the middle of this
month, a benefit entertainment will be
given at local theater under the aus
pices of the local committee. It will
be called "a Century of Fashions, .
and fashions from the period of 1900
until the present time will be shown
in pantomime.

day denied any disagreement with the

J regarding call for statements. Mr..
Smith made this statement: In rela-
tion to the newspaper article headed
Pennsylvania and Federal Bank Heads
Clash published this morning, l am
not aware of any clash either person
ally or officially. The contents of the
article appear to be news from Wash
ington by way of Harrisburg. 1t con-
Germs the issuance of a call the date
of which is to be fixed by the comp
troller 1t seems to me, therefore,
that the comptroller himself is the
party who should be asked to confirm
or deny the statement. Furthermore,
everyone is aware there is stringent
law in Pennsylvania concerning this
department which requires secrecy un-
der penalty of heavy fine"
