in 1915 and I am sure that January
will see at least 70 per cent. of the
working children under sixteen in that
city attending continuation classes.
"In Pittsburgh a complete canvass of
the city has been made to ascertain
the number of children in employ
ment. Provision has been made for
the establishment of schools or classes
in various sections of the city. ] would
not be surprised to see every working
child in Pittsburgh attending con-
tinuation classes with the beginning of
the new year.
"In Bethlehem the high school will
be used to house the continuation
classes. The regular classes adjourn
early and the continuation classes will
have full use of the school building
from to every afternoon.
THE school authorities of Reading
are at present interviewing manufac-
turers on the subject OF organizing
continuation schools. DR.. Foos. super
intendent of schools. reports that in
all these interviews he has been cor
daily received and that the outlook
for the success of the schools seems
very encouraging.
Complete arrangements for the es-
tablishment of continuation classes are
also being made in Scranton, Wilkes
Barre, Allentown, Johnstown, Altoona,
Lebanon, Easton, Beaver Falls. Mauch
Chunk, Harrisburg, Williamsport, York
and many smaller communities.

During the past few months hun
dreds of men have been employed in
the cross river-town on the construc-
ton of the new homes in addition to
the many who worked on the Camp
Hill school building. Several years
ago a school building was erected in
such a way that when conditions war
ranted a big addition could be built
This latter was completed recently
making the total cost of the school
about $4,000.
At present too. an addition Is be-
ing built to the Camp Hill Methodist
church, crowded conditions there
making the enlarging necessary.
Although the value of building
operations in Camp Hill during the
past several months towers above the
values in many towns of the same
size, it would seem that there would

Public Instruction and Labor and In
dustry will visit before January l every
community in which it is necessary to
establish continuation classes, and l
am sure the new year will see ready
and full compliance with all the pro-
visions of the new law.
The fact that schools may be con-
Quoted eight hours on one day, or four
hours on two days, or. two hours on
four days. and that almost any seventh
and eighth grade teacher will be able
to give the instruction required, has
done much to facilitate the establish
ment of these schools.
II am indeed grateful for the splen-
did spirit of cooperation which has
been shown both by the school men
and employers of children in their
efforts 10 raise the standard OF citizen

5000 to $1,000. The buildings are
constructed of brick, frame and
stucco and all of them have the
latest Improvements. Some of the
new homes have been built on the
bungalow plan. The others are two
and-a-half and three stories with at
tractive porches and settings. Almost
all of them are built alone, although
several have been constructed in pairs.
The biggest operation is in Park eve

finished in one section. These houses
were started by c. w. Strayer, OF

progressed very far they were pur-
chased at bankruptcy sale by A. A.
Thumma, Brett Bros, Harry Eshel-

About the first thing tested is the speed of the car, and on a nice level piece of road the throttle 8 opened up wide. A stiff hill bit of heavy road is the next thing in order, or perhaps it is a long trip with a full load of passengers, during which the new motor is subjected to as many tests as the driver can think of
 The strains to which the working parts are put while they are. still green too frequently result in over heating, with the attendant train of troubles that materially shorten the service given by the motor and make the maintenance and operating cost much greater than it needs be.
 If motorists would learn to restrict themselves to a speed of fifteen or eighteen miles an hour for the first 200 or 300 miles and see to it that plenty of the right kind of lubricant is used, they would find that the pre- caution would return dividends later on in better and cheaper service.
 Driving in the Rain.
 It is often said that a good driver is one who can handle his car best in emergencies, that ordinary drivins g with a clear road does not necessarily show driving ability. nor is there an opportunity for showing it under such conditions.
 However. the driving ability of a man will be we'll brought out to a Y, the driver of a heavy car, one weigh Ing close to 5.2o0 pounds, was driving the vehicle down a slippery street. No chains were fitted and after the, car had attained a speed of about thirty miles per houh, it~became necessary to stop within 200 feet. Tie clutch was thrown out, the brakes applied and the heavy car skidded in an zig gag fashion with the driver helpless The curb was struck and 8 wheel thrown out of alignment. The car no doubt could have been brought to 8 stop and partially kept straigh tiff the clutch had been left in engagement The sudden application of the brakes and the locking of the rear wheels starts 8 car skidding and the driver loses complete control. If the brakes are improperly adjusted the chances of skidding are greater.
 Tn many instances it is possible to get the front wheels headed for some particular spot and if it possible to do so, they should be directed so as to mount the curb. Such action usually brings the car to a stop, but if the driver is not good one, the side of one of the front wheels will strike the curb and in the majority of cases the impact will crush the wheel.
 Taxable Value of Autos.
 The Columbus Automobile club of Columbus. O., has opened a bureau for the purpose of vaIuing motor cars for taxation purposes. The bureau has arrived at the taxable value of all 1 makes of cars, based on the years l model. and the taxation authorities l a result, it is hoped that the friction between the assessors and the ownera l which was prevalent in former years, will entirely disappear.

THE sUB-NoRafAb MAN .


 Tn a number of The Outlook uaga- zine for July, ". S. Rainsford has a most interesting account Of Runs, He writes from many years ezper- fence with shiftless ne'er-do-wells in the New York slums
 Dr. Rainsford's theory is that 'iburnsf. are mostly f'sub-Torn1a1'' peo- pie. who in school were backward children. They found the class work too hard for them They fell be hind, became discouraged, and got 1n- to the habit of<s1ipping through with their tasks unfinished. The boy who can't keep up in school may become later the man who can't keep his job. Yet he may have done. the best he could
 Some of .these boys who can't do Ebook work have common sense and native shrewdness, and do very we'll when bhey get to work But others fail to hold their jobs and in a few years lose their nerve and grip on life They take seasonal jobs like harvesting crops. shoveIling snow, etc. tasks in which almost any kind of la bor is acceptable.
 pr Rainsford believes that much more care ought to be taken with finds that the sub-normaI hiId costs the state far more than the cost of properly educating him would be The majority of petty criminals come from this class, and the pauper accounts are largely for help to such people
 The sub-normaI child often needs nothing except a little more explana- ton than the ordinary child gets. The teacher of a full class room can't stop to make everythiIfg clear to the on ebaclxward boy She would never get her classes into High school if she did. Consequently. these pabhet- ic little stupids drift along, never get ting any real grip on life and work. If a group of them could be placed in one class at school, where they would keep digging at a subject until they knew it thoroughly, they might come out very well. and make good faithful, efficient workers with their hands

 No males are. included in the con test peus and in consequence infertile e eggs are produced throughout the year, This is, of course, obviously during the breeding season but hatch ing has now been completed for the most part and many potIItTynnen have already segregated the male birds It is a well known fact that slnm CT eggs which are fufertf1e have higher keeping quantities because there can not possibly be any physiological dew eIopment- Usually the male birds are troublesome about fighting and are likely to do themselves injury. Shackles of coarse twine or small rope will in general overcome this difficult ty. The several males should have thei1. feet tied close enough to permit only an ordinary step and prevent tile extraordinary movements tIla taccom- pany fighting After a weeks asso- ciat4on1 together under these condf- tions the males have become familiar with each other and the shack1es may be removed.
