TRAINING FOR
SCHOOL PUPILS
Physical Education Proposed
by the Bill Drafted by Some
Philadelphians

Physical training for all grades in
all public schools of the State is pro-
vided for pupils of both sexes in a
bill to be introduced into the Legis-
lature shortly at the instance of 81
number of prominent residents of
Philadelphia and other cities. The bill
which has been much discussed among
educators and generally favored by
persons who have been studying the
situation, would estab blish n bureau of
physical education in tie Department
of Public Instruction, which has
bureaus devoted to vocational, agri-
cultural and similar education. This
bureau is to be administered by a
supervisor.
The course of training will be es-
tlblished by the supervisor under di-
rection of the State superintendent of
Public instruction, the act to become
effective Immediately upon its ap-
proVal.
The supervisor is to report on the
condition of all schools as regards
space and equipment of all kinds for
physical education and training, in
doors and out and to note especially
and the number and percentage of
pupils requiring special medical or
otLer attention during the year
An appropriation of $500. 600 is
carried to make the act effective, the
appropriation being made specifically
to the proposed bureau Ito be applied
and disburSed under the direction of
and with the approval of the State
Board of Education"

$75,OOO,OOO IS
TOP NOTCH LIMIT
Dangerous to Go Beyond That
Figure Declares Chairman
Woodward Today

Notwithstanding the declaration of
Auditor General A. w. Powell in his
recently issued annual report that the
State does not need any more revenue
members of the House appropriations
committee, who have been doing some
figuring, say that the State must get
half a dozen more millions If it is to
continue its charitable appropriations
and provide the additional fund for
schools, highways, public improve
ments and run the government. An
other factor that has loomed up in
the last few days is the question of
armory facilities.
Calling out of the National Guard
Will not entail very much expense on
tie Commonwealth because as soon as
the men are called they become
chargeable to federal funds as was
done in the case of the mobilization
for border service. But the State will
have to furnish better armory facili-
ties under the national defense act.
Chairman James f. Woodward, of
the House appropriations committee,
says that S70,000.000 is about as high
as the Legislature could go under the
present revenue laws and that if more
aid is to be given to hospitals and
similar institutions, which have been
hit by the high cost of living, and to
build roads, etc. the Legislature
should make the limit SIS, 5,000,0 900.
The State Board of Charities, he
says, took cognizance of the fact that
cost of foodstuffs, etc, had increased
tremendously by adding S730,0O0 to
the s4,00O,0O0 appropriations recon-
mended for tie INDECENT insane and
by increases for maintenance for hos

slider that fact. The Governor will in
sist on more money for roads and
schools and various departments are
making big demands.
Tuesday the deficiency bill will be
the subject of hearing by the ap-
preparations committee and there will
be some explaining asked of heads OF
departments. The committee will
likely cut off $3.50, 900. To-day Mr.
Woodward and Senator Buckman, the
Senate appropriations chairman, will
see the Governor about the appropria-
ton program, seeking a way to avoid
necessity for executive reductions be-
cause of insufficient revenue"

$4,000 Men in Dauphin
County Can Be Called
to Colors if Needed

Thirty thousand men in Dauphin
county could be called to the colors in
case of emergency, according to figures
on file at the County Commissioners
office. in the Courthouse.
These are compiled triennially
when the county assessment list
is made up, and although eX-
act figures were not avail
able this afternoon, as the county office
was closed, Commissioner Henry NJ
Stine estimated the number of men
available at 10000 ranging in age from
is to 40 years. About half of this num-
ber reside in Harrisburg. the other
half in the outlying districts and bor-
oughs.

MAY OMIT INAUGURAL SHOW

washington, d. c, Feb. 5.-While
no decision has been reached officially,
there is a very decided sentiment in ali
official quarters to abandon the public
ceremonies of Inauguration on March >
and simply have the President take
the oath of office in the White House
on Sunday, May 4. The army and
navy reception at the White House
probably will be abandoned.
Those officials who favor abandon
ing the public ceremonies feel that,
with the President facing such critical
international affairs. the good of the
country demands that he shall not be
called upon to participate in public
