weeks to make the new emergency
rule work smoothly.
The Board after carefully consider
ing the protest against the decision to
close the schools including all grades,
which was intended to preserve their
organization, has rendered a decision
that all classes, schools and colleges
may decide whether or not they open
as usual, providing that none admit
children under sixteen years old, be-
fore September %, 1916.
This new ruling puts the State up
to the difficult task of policing each
school.

tainments shall be extended to Sep
tember % for children under 16."
Schools" in the above order is to
be interpreted to mean Sunday schools
as we'll as public and all other kinds
of schools.
No Action Here as Yet
DR.. Downes, city superintendent of
schools, was informed of the modified
ruling of the Health Board but said
that before he could say what would
be done about 1t in Harrisburg he
would have to take the matter up
with the school board. AS many OF
the high school students are under 16
it is not likely that the schools will be
opened until after September %, ac-
cording to the belief of several teach
ers consulted who thought that the
opening of school to upper classmen
would only add to the confusion.

modified order would permit the open
ing of schools any time to children 16
years or older
The Modified Order
DR.. Dixon's statement in full fol-
lows:
The Department of Health's deci-
sion on the closing of the schools was
to prevent the the spreading of infan-
tile paralysis in our State and spare
the lives of our little children. Be
fore deciding this question numerous
experienced educators of our State
were consulted and it was made clear
that our school system in Pennsylva-
nia-both public and private-repre-
sents a beautiful piece of educational
machinery, each upper grade or each
wheel dependent upon another.
With this in view the State Depart
ment of Health decided not to close
the kindergarten and elementary
grades alone but instead to move the
entire piece of machinery out of the
range OF the enemy Gnfantile paraly-
sis } so as to extend its action over into
June or we'll away from danger
Otherwise we would berak up the
classes and grades until the beautiful
school systems would have been like
a smashed automobile on the wayside
NO sooner was the decision made
by the Department than ministers and
Sunday school teachers became
abusive. It's object being, primarily
to save the lives and prevent the life
long crippling of our children, the
Department of Health listened to and
considered the protest, for all it was
put in a way that was not suited tc
make angels of those who had been
sleeping in their boots for three

proposed were on fruits, vegetables,
dry goods, and many other COM
modities. More than 900 shippers
were represented here recently and
protested against the increase.
The increases were proposed after
the commission had held several
months ago that trans-continent
roads did not now have to meet the
competition of the Panama canal and
that lower rates than those now in
question could not be justified for this
reason and for the reason that this
transcontinental traffic should pay its
share of the total burden of transpor-
tation. The higher rates were pro-
posed after this decision.
