Training" to Military
in the City's Schools

Physical training and not military
training in the citys schools is ad-
vocated by Prof F. E. Downes, super
intendent
DIR. Downes said that he believed a
complete course in physical exercise
for the students would be a greater
help to them, than military training
and would prepare them for emer-
gencies should they arise. At present
there is no system of physical train
ing in the school curriculum here.
He declared military training at
present is not a vital issue in the
public schools here. and that he does
not think it should be adopted

Bad Roads Prevent Perry
Co. Town Becoming Borough

Marysville. Pa. Feb. 4.-Some of
the roads of this county are nearly inn
passable on account of the condition
of the weather before the snow. Sew
eral of the churches in the country
abandoned services for a Sunday or
two, on account of this and sickness.
Bad roads were largely responsible
for the court in denying the applica-
ton of the village of Loysville to be
incorporated as a borough. The bad
roads and the poor school facilities
furnish enough reason, the court de-
cided, for denying the application.
