Harrisburg will probably be one of
the nrst of the school districts of the
state to have a continuation school
under the new act providing for edu-
cation or the youngsters while they
are working. There are a number Of
youthful wage earners in this city
and the way they have attended night
schools has attracted attention. Just, 4
now some studies in the enrolment
OF youngsters in schools and the num-
Der who are working under State GER
tihcates Is being made and when 1t
is finished definite calculations can be
made. 1t is pretty generally believed
that couple of schools will be open-
ed early in the coming year and that
they will be only forerunners. This
city, the center of the State educa-
tional system. will probably have a
chance to establish some models and
can be assured of the friendly inter-
est of those at the head of the school
system and of the people active in
the vocational education end of the
Government.
The wardens selected yesterday by
the State Game Commission, who will
be added to the force already chosen
If Governor Brumbaugh approves the
names, were chosen from the largest
list of applicants ever known to the
commission. There were something
like two and a half dozen additional
wardens authorized by the last Legis-
lature, to be paid out of the revenue
from hunters licenses. Over 100 men
applied for the places in a short time
and this number was weeded out.
Then more came in and the commits
sioners finally decided to SEX the aid
OF game associations, men interested
In hunting and in game propagation.
IIhe result that
| recommendations were secured Then
the commissioners adopted the plan
| of having personal reports on the ap-
plicants. In the list of applicants were
a number of men who had served in
the State police and who had left the
force to get married. Several others
were men with good records in the
United States army, and it is expected
that the force of wardens when COM
plete will be the best the State ever
had. The question of how far game
wardens, who are paid out of the
hunters license fund, can be called
upon to work as fish and forest ward
ems is to be settled by the Attorney
General. The Game Commissioners
are willing to have the men work in
cidentally, but refuse to assign men
to other departments until they are
sure they can do so under the law,
which specifically sets aside income
from hunters licenses for payment
of men employed in game protection
land other work connected with the
game commission.

While Assistant City Clerk Ross R.
Seaman has established a splendid sys-
tenn for filing and indexing copies of
city ordinances, the installation OF a
new ordinance fling case and cabinet
in City Clerk Miller's Offices will add
greatly to the facility of handling these
measures. The cabinet is a huge piece
. of furniture and is so arranged with
shelves as to make it invaluable for
filing not only ordinances but most
any other city papers of the kind.
Something wrong with the calendar
this year." remarked a farmer in mar
ket this week. II don't know what
happened, but it's all mixed up. The
crops are not suffering, to be sure, but
we have had a number of city folks
visiting lately and the complaints about
the freaky weather are amusing. Ac
