most earnest and careful study of the
SITUATION. Is that we should both en-
large our present Technical High
school to accommodate all of our boys,
ana erect a new school to accommo-
date the girls. The enlargement sug-
gested would involve the requirement
or all the property east of the pres
ent building. as far as Fifth street and
the erection of a building on this
property conforming in architectural
effect to the present building. l am
reliably informed that this could all
pc done at cost not exceeding $780,
900.
Erection OF Girls High School
The separation of the sexes would
simplify considerably the architec-
tural problems in the erection of a
| girls high school. The building could
be made smaller than originally con-
templated, for it would have a smaller
number to accommodate. Its inter-
ior arrangements would be simplified,
since provisions would have to be
made for girls only And all this
would materially affect the cost of
construction. l have made more or
less careful inquiry and l am of the
opinion, from the information gath
cred, that girls high school large
enough and good enough to suit our
needs and aspirations, can be erected
ing any expense which might be en-
tailed for site or equipment.
Junior High School
Another consideration which might
affect the cost of new high school
construction is the attitude of our
people with relation to the question
of the junior high school. The best
educational thought to-day advocates
the division of the ordinary twelve
year period of public school education
int six years in the elementary
schools, three years in the junior
high school, and three years in the
senior high school. Without taking
the time in this paper to discuss the
excellent arguments in favor of this
classification. | shall simply record the
fact that within the past two or three
years the idea has taken firm root in
educational administration throughout
the entire country. The National Bu-
reau of Education at Washington, the
departments of education in various
States. the National Educational As
sociation. State educational associa-
tions throughout the United States,
and hundreds of prominent educators
have given it sanction. Our own
State of Pennsylvania is urgent in its
advocacy of the new classification,
and already number of the larger
cities and boroughs of the State are
adopting it, | venture to predict not
only that within ten years the plan
will be standard throughout the
country. but that the school system
that has not adopted it will be re-
garded as ultra conservative or be-
hind the times. l have no doubt that
Harrisburg will be brought face to
face with this question within the near
future.
Plan of Junior High School
The plan of the junior high school
contemplates the separation of the
pupils of the last two elementary
grades and of the first year of the
high school into one or more sepa-

man class there of 304. And If Latin
and commercial subjects were offered
in the Technical High school, as many
of our people are urging and as the
principal is recommending, separa-
tion would be practically complete
The problem would solve itself so far
as co-education is concerned. And
do not think the matter of more or
less desirable physical accommoda-
tions has had very much, if anything
to do with the drift toward the tech
nical institution. This is strictly a
boys school, the boys know it to be
such, and, as rule, they would rather
he by themselves.
Why Tech Is Not Made "Boys' High
During our high school contro-
versy, which has now been going on
for several years, many persons have
volunteered the suggestion that the
whole question might be settled by
removing the boys of the Central
High school to the Technical High
school, thereby relieving the Central
High school of its overcrowding, sepa-
rating the sexes, and avoiding all
necessity for any new school at all.
We have attempted to meet this sug-
gestion by showing that by such an
arrangement, neither school could ac-
commodate all of its pupils And 1t

There are now approximately $50

laboratories as they are, only $50 stu
dents, which means a present surplus
of girls of 15S.
What's to BE Done
I do not think that any new CO.
educational school, however attractive
in its appointments. will stem the tide
toward the Technical High school
certainly not, if Latin and CONNER

Conditions Deplorable

The Rotary Club educational COM
mittee's report was much similar to
DR.. Downes'. although both had been
written independently and without
eny collaboration. DR.. Shope, chair
man, pointed out the deplorable con-
ditions in the Central high school with
its two half sessions daily and the con-
sequent disadvantages to faculty and
students. He said that the Harrisburg
high school graduates should at least
have as high standing before college
and university entrance boards as such
towns as Lebanon. Greensburg, Cou-
dersport, York, Wiconisco and other
places with only a fraction of this
city's population.

While Sir Edward Grey and

To one in touch with the his

incredible that Bulgaria should
actually line up, to the extent OF
active fratricidal warfare, with
Turkey against Russia.
From the time the Bulgarians
adopted Christianity in the ninth
century, they have been COM
pletely mixed racially. Seventy
five per cent of the Bulgars have
Russian blood in their veins.
One hundred and fifty years
ago the Bulgarian nation was
shrouded in oblivion. Under the
iron yoke of Turkey, 1t had al
