To Pass Final Judgment on
Action Of Roche in
Stopping Bout at
St. Nicholas A. c.

The members Of the State Athletic
Commission will meet TO investigate
the recent boxing match between
George Chip. Of Newcastle and Jimmy
Clabby, the Hammond warrior. to-day.
II will be remembered that the men
met in what was to have been ten
round contest at the St. Nicholas A. {.
last week. and in the eighth were or
dered to leave the ring by Billy Roche
the referee. Roche declared that the
men were not trying their best and
that rather than allow the spectators
20 be hoodwinked he had stopped the
bout.
Naturally. his action caused storm
Of criticism. Some declared that ne
was right, while just as many declared
stoutly that he committed grave mis-
take. The commission viii attempt 70
decide whether the men tried or not,
and with that end in view will hear
the testimony of toe fighters, the
referee and the several newspaper men
who covered the story.
II the commission decides that the
referee was right in his ruling, the
boxers will not be paid, and not alone
will their guarantee be withheld, but
their expenses, incurred by having 20
remain in this city, viii have TO be
paid out OF their pockets. And II the
referee is upheld what will become
Of the gate receipts? Only few Of
the spectators at that contest held
their coupons, and boys IN the gallery
had no check TO certify that they were
on hand.

wireless heroes who have died at sea in the brave
performance of their duty Ten names will be in
scribed on the monument. Seven wireless heroes
lost their lives the Pacific, two on the Atlantic
and one the Great Lakes.
Shortly after the Titanic went down. three years
ago last month, the proposal was made that me-
mortal be erected to Jack Phillips, the wireless
operator on that vessel whose courageous conduct
at the time of the disaster, when recounted evoked
the admiration of the world The plan later
made to include all wireless operators who have
similarly lost their lives.
Two of such had gone down prior to the Titanic
disaster. George c. Eceles perished on the steam
ship Ohio the Pacific, August 26 1909, and
Stephen f. Sczepanek sacrificed his life on the
steamship Pere Marquette on Lake Michigan, Sep

like losses of life, but there were several each
intervening year until this The latest the
death of Walter E. Reker on the steamship Admiral
Sampson in Puget Sound August %, 1914.
1t is fitting that these men, heroes of distinctly
twentieth century sort, should not be permitted to
be forgotten. More brave men like them will join

COLLECTING WHAT OTHERS DISCARD

There have been many collectors of many differ
ent objects in a world full of things. One whose
hobby is remarkable as any is a resident of
Saginaw Michigan, reported to have the biggest
and most complete collection of theatre programs in
the United States.
That person would be dull person indeed who
could not find much to interest him in such coec
tion,-a collection which is said to go back more
than a hundred years TO the time when the first
theatre programs were published in England and
then to show the origin of the theatrical business
in the United States and trace its development up
to the present time. The programs reposng in that
collection, copies of which had been discarded by
theatre patrons as useless after the performances
are now interesting records of the amusements of
other days.
There may be persons who have from time to
time formed little collections of programs which
they have preserved after attending theatrical per-
formances or musical entertainments Such pro-
grams would be of personal interest to the pos
SCISSORS because the casts and the scenes which they
list have been actually seen and enjoyed. They
would be of no value, however, in tracing the his
tories of theatres of productions and of performers
in this country and England
The difficulty in the way of collecting old theatre
programs of course, is that hardly ANYBODY is in
terested in them, and consequence specimens
have not been preserved as have valuable coins
stamps, autographs books, pieces of chinaware and
other common objects of collection. The thousands
of dollars recently paid for autographs of the sign
erS of the Declaration of Independence could not
purchase specimens of desirable theatre programs
of which no copies had been preserved at the time
of their issuance because they had seemed worth
less.

THE SIX. HIGH SCHOOL PLAN

The ideal plan of education, according to some
authorities comprises SIX years of instruction by
parents in the home six years of elementary school
training six years of high school teaching and six
years of college discipline. If that plan is to be
carried out there will be necessary a rearrangement
of the work in all the grades in the public schools.
Some rather impressive arguments have been ad
vanced in an endeavor 10 prove such an arrange!
ment would be decidedly beneficial, at least as it
relates to high schools and grammar schools
The ordinary arrangement in the public schools
at present is eight years of primary and grammar
school work and four years of high school study.
The Bureau of Education in Washington advocates
six years of elementary and six years of high school
training the latter to be divided into three years
of junior high school and three years of senior
high school. 1t is this latter plan which offers most
advantages, in the opinion of many experienced
educators.
Of the children in this country who finish eight
nine years of elementary school training, three
fourths do not go on with their education, having
reached the end of the compulsory attendance peri
cd. If the new plan were to be adopted generally,
as it is most likely to be in the of time the
pupils would be in high school two years before
they would be free to leave their books. and would
be better trained thus than under the old system
In the seventh and eighth grades as commonly
arranged at present. the students are to large
extent merely marking time
The advisability of teaching domestic science in
the upper grammar grades in this city has been
under consideration of late In the Junior high
school, under the proposed plan, the seventh and
eighth year pupils could not only be given useful
vocational training but could be started in their
studies of foreign languages, elementary sciences
history and literature as well.
The Harrisburg Rotary Club, in its meeting last
night, voted to procure the services of some quail
fed man to report to the Club, and through the
Club to the Harrisburg School Board, on the ad-
visibility of the adoption in this city of the six
year high school plan. This step may or may not
have direct effect on the solving of Harrsburg's
vexing high school problem, but it is at any rate
a step worth looking into.
This city has been one of the last in the state to
make move to get rid of the detrimental ninth
grade, reducing the elementary course to the usual
eight years. 1t has the opportunity to be among
the first to arrange for six-year high school In
the general rearrangement of courses of study
which must necessarily accompany the abolition of
the ninth grade, and the introduction of domestic
science and possibly of manual training in the sew
enth and eighth years, the new plan could be
adopted with but little additional confusion

Belgians Cheered Against Orders

Seventy Belgian prisoners who re-
Gently passed through Bruges in charge
of guard of German cavalry received
a resounding welcome from the Belgian
inhabitants of the town, notwithstand-
ing the orders of the German municipal
authorities that no demonstrations were
TO take place. The prisoners, who in
cluded infantrymen and engineers, were
captured near Driegrachten. As they
passed down the streets of Bruges. the
people of the town gathered along the
sidewalks. Hats and handkerchiefs were
waved in the air and there were shouts
of "Vive la Belgigue, 'Leve Belgie''
and ''Jeve de Koning." The prisoners
smiled and answered back, Courage,
comrades - Meanwhile the crowd show
cred them with gifts of fruit, chocolate,
sandwiches and cheese. While the en-
thusiasm was at its height, some of the
German horSemen charged the crowd.
1t is said that the municipal authorities
will assess fine against the populace
for tine unauthorized demonstration.

The first official British navy list ever

full strength of the British navy. The
list of officers and men on active serv-
ice covers eighty pages of double col
umns, while the Royal Naval Reserve
and the Volunteer Naval Reserve occu-
pies 81 pages more. \ large number of
the volunteer reservists hold temporary
commissions. Among them are the fol-
lowing rated as lieutenant commanders:
The Duke of Manchester the Duke of
Westminster, Fison Young, novelist; D.
{. Calthorp, novelist; Lord Loughbor-
ough, of Olympic games fame; Il. G.
Chiozza Money, the writer of economies,
and others. There are several pages
of names of ladies composing Queen
Alexandra S Royal Naval Nursing Serv-
ice. The lost of sick quarters in all
parts of the United Kingdom covers
eight pages.

French Commander Frankness

General Tremeau, who recently died
from injuries received in an automobile
accident, was virtually the commander
in-chief of the French army during the
period of his service as vice president
of the Higher War Council. He is well
remembered by all the officers who
served under him for his vigor. quick
ness of decision and plain way of speak
ing. After the annual army maneuvers
in 1910 in the Champagne province, he
addressed the general officers as is usual
under such circumstances. He started
out in the usual honcyed tone and fin
ished as follows:
Gentlemen" he said, elf the
Great Emperor had been able to come
back among US and witness the
maneuvers that we have just accom-
plished upon the scene of his glorious
exploits, he would find that we have
borne ourselves in a particularly pitt
able Manner
The severity of his criticisms made
him a great many political enemies and
it was his, more than anything else
that brought about his resignation in
1911.

Britain Bans Higher Wages

The British Postmaster General has
definitely refused TO grant the request
of the postal employees for a bonus of
dollar a week TO meet the increased
cost of living caused by the war. The
bonus asked for was to be paid only
to workers receiving less than $50 a
week. The Postmaster General stated
that the rise in the cost of living is not
by itself :. sufficient reason at the pres
ent time for increasing wages. He re
CARDS this rise as burden which must
be shared in common by all classes in
the country. Moreover, he explains,
compliance with this request from the
postofhce workers would make neces-
sary corresponding grants to all gov.
ernment employees of similar status
and would, therefore, impose very
heavy burden on the treasury. The pos
tai employees are arranging for protest
meetings with the object of urging the
cabinet to reconsider its decision.
