DIR. SCHAEFFER
URGES INCREASE
State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction Discusses
Some School Problems :.

In urging that the state vote the
! emergency increase of salaries to
its teachers, DR.. Nathan c. Schaef-
fer, the State Superintendent of
Public Instruction. says that the
proposition is simply one of keeping
teachers at desks. The shortage is
no longer one of debate. 1t is u
fact, he says.
In s'scussing the matter DR..
Sehaefier says: 1.-The shortage of
teachers has emphasized. as never
before. one of the original purposes
for wiT~,h the office of county super
intendent was created. namely, that
of aiding the directors to secure
qualified teachers for all the schools.
Many superintendents urged bright
young people to attend the summer
schools or the special classes which
the state normal schools organized
during the spring term to meet this
emergency. The University of Pitts
burgh. the State College and other
institutions of higher learning like
wise helped the superintendents to
fill the vacancies caused by the draft
and the industrial situation. The
causes for this shortage are not far
to seek. but the remedies are diff
got more lucrative employment dur
ing the summer vacation resigned
their positions in the public schools.
Pupils were tempted by high wages
to quit the high schools before COM
pleting the course. The army and
the navy took many young men from
the schoolroom and 1t was difficult
to find any one to take their places.
Real estate Is taxed as much as
1t can stand, If not to the limit: and
it is imperative for the Legislature
to find new sources OF revenue for
school purposes. The state board
recommends an emergency appro-
priation to add twenty-five per cent.
to the salaries of the teachers, many
of whom find 1t more difficult to
meet their expenses than in the days
when they received only half the
compensation which is now offered
In the remotest rural districts. Pa
triotism may for time hold the
teacher in the ranks of this voca-
ton ultimately the struggle for
bread will assert itself and the need
of educating or supporting depend
ants forces him TO enter vocatlons
which offer more lucrative employ
ment. No system or scheme for the
training of teachers can be expect
ed TO solve this economic problem.
Reduced to its simplest terms, 1t is
the question of more money for the
public schools and better salaries
for the teachers"
On the important subjects of nat
uralization and Americanization, DR..
Schaeffer says: Both the state and
the federal government have organ
ized agencies for the naturalization

Three TOttering Old Horses
Sold to Farmer For 81

York Haven, Pa, Dec. 1s.--These
old gray mares have seen better
days. For trio of horses purchased
severa days ago by James Adel-
blute, a farmer. OF near town. from
Harry Lentz a Manchester hotelman,
the former paid the sum of 81, or
an average of s2.33 for each animal.
In fact. ii is said. Adehute only pur-
chased two of the steeds, the third
being given to him as present by
the Manchester soteler in order to
get rid of 1t. To what use Mr.. Adel-
blute will put the horses remains a
mystery. II is claimed. as the aged
animals totter when they walk. MIR.
Lentz acquired the trio of animals in
u trade. il is a!serted. To feed them
for a week IL would cost the Man
chester hotelman more than re re-
ceived in cash for them.

erly. and Clifford Pinchot. OF Mil
ford. chairman. 1t reports that the
present value and future Importance
OF the state forests of Pennsylvania
are far too little recognized. 1t is
probably fair to say that not one
citizen in a hundred is aware OF the
magnificent state property which has
been acquired and not one in ten of
those who should make use of the
state forests for recreation and other
purposes is doing So"
"Our state forests" says the COM
mittee, constitute by far the most
valuable and important material
possession of the state. They are
worth in cash not only all that was
paid for them. but in addition every
cent that Pennsylvania has expended
for forestry all told. to say nothing
OF their growing usefulness as great
public parks for hunting. fishing and
camping, and their incalculable value
as health resorts and for stream con-
troll. The money expended upon them
is not properly an expense, but pay
ing investment"

DIR. HARRIS IS
QUITE HOPEFUL
Says There Will Be a Major
ity For Ratification of The
Big Amendment

The Rev. DR.. John Royal Harris,
state Superintendent of the Dry
Federation of Pennsylvania, in u
statement just issued, predicted the
adoption of the prohibition amend
ment by this state.
DR.. Harris Gains l10 members of
the House have been elected, who
were pledged to ratification. and
that there are twenty-three Senators
who are certain to vote the same
way and that more than the remain
ing four required to reach the total
of twenty-six which is necessary to
adopt the amendment in the Senate,
will be secured from other Senators
whom he claims will in all proba bill
ity support this measure.
"A great many conflicting state
ments have been made" said DR..
Harris, with regard to the complex
ion of the next Legislature. on the
subject of ratification. | have pur-
posely waited until could make a
careful analysis and certain investi-
cations before publicly stating my
views on this important question.
As result OF the study have been
since the eection. | am able
to say that it is my firm opinion
that ratification will carry. There
can be no doubt in my mind that this
measure will pass the House with
a comfortable majority. There are
40 members whom l am sure will
vote to ratify. 1t is in the Senate
that the only possible doubt exists,
and here I feel very hopeful that
the result will be the same as in the
House.
Governor elect Sprouts firm at
titude on this question cannot fail
to be the deciding influence in our
favor in the upper House. He made
this question one of the principal
issues in his campaign. and the Re
publican party, by supporting him
so generously, supported his views
on ratification.
The Senate will contain forty
four Republicans. many of whom
were the Governors associates while
he sat in that body. We have heard
from several that they will be guild
ed very largely by his wishes in the
matter. and from his public an
nouncements before and after his
there can be no doubt that
his wishes are that ratification be
passed. Senator Sproul was the
partg's platform in the recent cleo
ton and by his decisive majority he
became the leader of the Republi-
cans in Pennsylvania. 1t is not
that the Senators of his
party will seek to discredit his lead
ership by falling to follow his wishes
on ratification"

The senior class held a meeting in
the assembly hall yesterday between
sessions for the purpose of nomi-
mating officers for the fifth term.
The meeting was presided over by
President Ross s. Hoffman, and
Secretary Frances Todd acted in her
official Office. The meeting was i'm
mediately opened for nominations
and three candidates for each ONCE
were put up in the first few mInu-
ties. Horace Selig, Milton Potts and
Louis Rimer were the selection of
the boys for the next presidency, and
Jennie Blocker, Elizabeth Brown
and Elizabeth Lloyd were the girls
candidates for secretary, Milton
Potts, however, resigned his nomi-
nation, All the candidates are popu-
lar members of the class, and q
close election is looked for, Presi-
dent Hoffman announced that all
nominations would have to be an
proved by Professor Severance. AL
though this had been the custom last
year, the present officers were not

Reports Come Cut
The fret reports of the 1888 |
school year were given to the stu
dents yesterday morning, Instead |
of having one report issued from the |
office, as has been the custom in
previous years, each teacher gave |
reports to the pupils who recite to |
him, Although this system saves
much work for the office, 1t is not |
generally liked by the student body, |
Six or seven reports must now be
signed and returned instead of one.
