Lacking Compulsory Education,

Although six states in the Union are
still without compulsory school at
tendance laws and four others have
laws that apply only partially. definite
progress during the last decade Is re-
ported in bulletin recently issued by
the United States bureau Of education.
Since 1905 eight states previously
without compulsory laws have adopted
them. and It IL thought to be a mat
ter OF only few years when compul.
sorry school attendance will be in ef.
feet in every state and territory Of the
United States.
The six states still without compui.
sorry school laws are South Carolina,
Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi
and Texas. The four local-option
states. where the law is In effect in
certain counties only. are Maryland.
Virginia. Arkansas and Louisiana.
The bureaus investigation OF the
subject reveals close connection be.
tween lack OF compulsory attendance

More and more interest is be-
ing created by developments in
the rigid examination by govern
ment and railroad officials thru
their groups of experts, both in
a practical way from a govern
mental standpoint and an eco
nomical and safe way from an
operating standpoint.
The reason for this ever in
creasing interest is the rapid
progress that is being made tow
ard the final test that is to prove
to the government officials (the
Interstate Commerce Commiss-
ion) and the higher-ups in rail
road circles that the new inven-
ton will do all that is claimed for
it beyond the peradventure of a
doubt. To this end, G. L. White,
general manager of the company

& Ohio railroads to get the ties
placed on their main lines, where
their heaviest and fastest traffic

reports progress and those who
have examined the appliance in
an expert way believe that it
will prove satisfactory on every
point claimed and even more.
The fact that the railroads are
already importing ties from ia
pan at a cost of ST.. so laid down
on the right of way bears out
the universal belief that the
steel tie must take the place of
wood, and this being true the at

Raising Anti-vermin Fund

An anti-vermin fund is the latest and
most unusual product of the war. 1t has
been started by the central committee
in Berlin in charge of gifts to the SOL
diers, which has appealed to every Ger
man in the empire to contribute at least
one mark. The biggest banks in Ber-
lin, with branches in every large city,
have been made the repositories and
agents The unique fund is the outcome
of almost pitiful appeals from the SOL
diers in the East, increasing in number
every day. Worse than hunger, thirst
or sickness, they say, is the terrible
scourge that has attacked them and
against which they are powerless. Sup
plies of materials for combating the
pest have been exhausted and at pres
ent there are no funds on hand for the
purchase of more. The appeal that has
gone out is headed: "Give quicklyi

Food SOLD By pr,zs Courts

Fifty thousand tons of provisions
sent 10 English prize courts since the
opening of the war have been sold
within the last few weeks and the
money for the cargoes is in the hands
of the court officials. Most of the
cargoes belonged to American firms.
Wheat, flour and all sorts Of provisions
were included. Tired of the delay in
getting a hearing on their cases, agents
of the owners of most of the eargoes
welcome the sale, providing the money
is paid promptly. The provisions were
consigned to firms in Holland, Sweden,
Norway, Denmark and Germany, and
most of them were shipped early IN the
war to firms which the British suspect
ed were German agents, but the cases
never came up for court decision. The
supplies were bought, for the most part,
on a much lower market than the pres
ent. Naturally the owners have suffered
great loss through the delay, but the
sale prices were well above the cost and
would enable American shippers to
break even if speedy settlements were
made.

UPLIFTING OF FATHERS PLANNED

Not only has a movement for Fathers day been
started in this country, but rumor has been
put into circulation that fathers are to have mag
azine devoted to their interests as WELL This mag
azine, if it the light, will no doubt aim to
do the same for fathers as the women's magazines
have been doing for mothers-to advise them,
uplift them and reform them. The circulation of
the publication will be confined it is understood to
fathers and to persons in whose families there are
fathers.
Many prominent men in this country have been
fathers. As class fathers occupy a very impor-
tant place in society. That periodicals have not
before now undertaken to look after their welfare
is difficult to understand. While mothers have been
receiving all sorts of helpful suggestions as to how
they may best do many things which they have to
do and many other things which they would never
have thought of doing fathers have been pitifully
neglected
There is wide range of subjects which needs to
be discussed for the benefit of heads of families

Sold ut Current Price

Under the international regulations
controlling foodstuffs, the regulations
generally accepted by both England and
the United States, food is not contra
band unless destined for the use of a
hostile force. 1t would have been ex-
tremely difficult to prove to the salts
faction of any court that most of the
food eonsignments held in England
were of enemy destination, much less
that they were for use of the German
army. Apparently the English govern
ment did not care to undertake such a
task. At one time it was suggested that
all detained foodstuffs should be sold
to the American Commission for the
relief of Belgium, but the English Board
of Trade would not consent to such
sales, taking the position that the food
stuffs were needed in England. Conse'
quently the eargoes were finally sold at
current prices.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE IN THE GRADES

1t is well that Superintendent DowneS of the City
Schools, in his report the advsablity of equip
ping the High School Annex for the teaching of
domestic science to girls of the upper grammar
grades should have taken the opportunity to present
to the Board of School Directors a complete state
ment of the requirements for teaching domestic
science at centers throughout the city.
Superintendent Downes has estimated that two
domestic science teachers would be sufficient at the
present time to train all the girls of the two upper
grammar grades in the city, and that five or six
centers would have to be installed to accommodate
pupils in all sections of the school district 1t is
certainly evident that all domestic science pupils on
the Hill could not conveniently attend classes at
the Shimmel building, nor could the rest all go to
the new uptown building. F.,
The suggestion made by DR.. Downes is not that
the needed five or six domestic science centers be
established at once, but that the work be started
with one or two eenters and then extended from
time to time. If the work were to be begun next
fall in the Shimmell building, as suggested nearly
one-fourth of the girls of the City could be given
instruction in the subject. That would not be
bad beginning by any means In the Shimmell
building there is room to be used exclusively for
domestic science purposes, and if it were to be
equipped properly along with the other class rooms
of the building, the teaching of domestic science
in grade schools of Harrisburg could be auspicousy
started next September
There will be good deal of expense involved in
the teaching of domestic science in the grades but
the funds of the school district could hardly be put
to better purpose. There can be no argument on
the desirabity of giving girls in the public schools
that one course which in after life will be Of the
greatest benefit to them. What this Citys school
authorities need to be concerned about is merely
the arranging of the details, so that the work may
be started as soon as possible and then continued
with increasing efficiency.
