BOARD FINANCES .
ADDED SCHOOLS
War Closed Serbian Schools;
Reopened by Directors at
Cost of $500

How the Steelton school board
successfully handled the situation
when the war shut down the Serbian
parochial school and succeeded in
financing the additional schools which
it was compelled to open without
levying any additional tax, was
brought out at a recent meeting of
the board.
After the board had completed it's
budget for the present term and COM
pleted organization of the teaching
corps, the war cast it's influences
across some 1000 and called all the
the nuns who taught in the Serbian
parochial school back home to care
for their wounded brothers and sweet
hearts in the Red Cross hospitals that
now dot all Europe. Immediately the
several hundred Serbian pupils were
thrown out of school.
In order that they might continue
their education Superintendent l.. r.
McGinnes, of the public schools, i'm
mediately made plans for additional
teachers and rooms in the public
schools Additional rooms were OPEN
ed in the West Side and in the Foth-
ergiH building and additional sup
plies were purchased to run the new
schools throughout the term. 1t was
up to the board to provide money
This by careful housekeeping it was
able to do although the additional
sum required was well over S2,500
and the Serbian children are now
again in school.

state government who have been
looking up the suggestion of a CEN
tral paying agency of the State gov
ernment which was repeated by Attor-
ney General Francis Skunk Brown in
an opinion rendered a few days ago
say that it would require legislation
ana a larger appropriation for the
conduct of the State Treasury before
1t could be made effective. Under
present conditions each department
disburseS its own funds and runs its
own bank account except for salaries
ana some other items. For years eff
1orts nave been made to centralize
this business in the Treasury and have
1t made the disbursing office for all
but petty cash. The Treasury is now
handling five times as many checks
as IT was at this time last wear and
to centralize the business of nav
ments would require quite an addi-
ton TO the clerical force and con
slderably more bookkeeping 1t would
be up to the next Legislature and as n
new State Treasurer will take charge
next year he can find out from State
Treasurer Robert X. Young what the
experience has been and the bills
drawn accordingly

The Yelled Prophet of SanussI.

The head of the Sanussiyyah Of north
Africa and Arabia, the Sheikh es-Sa-
nussi, preserves the mystery Of the Or
der by himself being yelled. No one
save his viziers may gaze upon his sa-
cred person. And no sultan ever ruled
his viziers with a f1rmer hand than
does this sovereign.
Under the viziers are the m'kadems,
who are the chiefs Of the order In their
various districts-local governors, as it
were. These officials in turn are serv-
ed by q staff Of subordinates, who keep
them informed of all things Of interest
to the order. Once each year the m'ka-
dems gather In the secret city, but
what tyanspires there we can only
guess at. One thing Is certain-the
taxes they have collected in their dis
tricts are then turned into the general
treasury.
The location Of this secret city, which
bears the name Of Jof, can be found on
the map, but no Christian lives who
can tell you how the road to 1t runs.
for no Christian traveller has ever been
there or at least has ever returned
thence.-Christian Herald.

Panama Canal Chains.

The huge locks Of the Panama canal
are guarded by massive chains stretch
ed across the channel. No vessel can
crash into the gates at any Of the locks
because Of these tenders, placed seven
ty feet from each gate and near the
surface of the water. If the chains
are struck by a boat they gradually
yield to the force, paying out to a GER
tain distance, which depends upon the
violence of the impact
The mechanisms which regulate the
chain tenders are installed on either
wall. A system Of hydraulic cylinders
Is used for raising and lowering the
chains. The action Of the fender when
struck by boat is modified in part by
the friction produced in the machinery,
but mainly by the resistance produced
by water flowing through valves

article. He who knows not and knows
not that he knows not is in need of
teaching. Let US for the sake of
humanity teach him.
The thin line between life and death
is so fine that it is a shame that our
schools do not teach the youth the
danger of self-appointed and self-con-
stituted medical usurpers. 1t is pathet-
ic to note the human wrecks who have
been the victims of misguided though
well meaning friends who have "pre-
scribed" everything from whiskey to
dog grease.
Popular medicine is not scientific
medicine. Scientific treatment of dis
ease can be given only by one who has
been trained for that purpose. The
physician has license which society
through the State Board of Health, the
representative of the people has given
him because he passed the required
examination and met other require
ments. The physician alone can give
scientific treatment of disease.
