In England, we are told, the WON

of determination about their man.

speak of those who have gone.
In Scotland, they say, there are
many villages from which the High
land regiments have been recruited
where there are no boys left to come
back. All the young life is that of
girls and young women. All the
young men are dead.
In America not one in a thousand
homes have yet been shadowed by
this war, and yet we are in it as
much as England, Scotland or
France. That we have suffered less
than any of these has been our
great, good fortune, but our entry
in the war, it may be said, has just
begun. Our casualty lists are grow
ing larger each day.Our responsible
tiles are growing heavier every day.
We of the army at home are called
on for help and moral support that
the army at the front may endure.
The boys are in the thick of the
fight. That we back them up with
every need from ammunition to am
bition, is the least that we can do,
we fail as American citizens if we
fail in the slightest to do this.

RESERVES PICKED
TO DRILL HIGH
SCHOOL PUPILS
Board Unanimously Votes For
Military Training of Two
Upper Glasses

Military training for all pupils in
Central and Tech High Schools under
the direction of the Harrisburg Re-
serves. was approved by the city
school board at it's meeting yester-
day afternoon.
The offer of captain Henry M.
Stine, of the reserves, to DR.. F. +.
Downes, city superintendent, was
read after which DR.. Downes spoke
to the directors on the Importance
of starting such a course at once.
He explained that with the change
in the draft age limit and the other
intensive work of the government to
bring to an early close the war for
democracy with a complete victory
for the Allies 1t was almost a duty
to give to the younger boys as they
near draft age an elementary mill
tary drill course.
DR.. Downes. Captain Slime. Robert
A. Enders, president of the board;
Prof. w. e. Severance, principal OF
Central; and DR.. Charles B. Eager
Jr. principal of Tech, were named
as a committee to make arrangements
at once for the organization of units
number of younger boys in the
Freshman and Sophomore classes II
was deemed inadvisable to extend the
drills to those classes as many OF
the students are from IL to II years
of age; entirely too young to begin
study of military tactics according
to DR.. Downes.
Arrangements will be made for in
door drills during inclement weather
and fixed hours will be decided upon
by the committee. Other, necessary
details are to be worked out and
after the units are well organized
and have had several drills the ques-
tion of an inexpensive uniform and
a rifle for each student will be taker
up.
The vote of the directors to start
the military course was an unanimous
one. every member being present and
giving approval to its institution
Just before the vote was taken. Di-
rector Keen told of his experience:
while at a training camp when G
number of drafted men arrived. He
explained the big advantage which
men with military training had ovel
the other selectives and said thai
there was no reason why Harrisburg
boys should not go to training camps
with such experience.
DR.. Downes called the attention ot
the shortage of substitute teacher.
and said that 1t may be impossible
to get a sufficient number to fill the
needs of the district for the present
year. While nearly all the regular
teachers have been secured the dis

trict always employs a number of
substitutes but this year efforts to
have an available list which will
meet all needs of the schools. have
failed. There are only two regular
teachers needed now. and pending
the election of persons to these places
two substitutes are now in charge.
Must Stick to Jobs
The directors passed a resolution
after a short discussion which will
prevent the reinstatement of any
teachers who resign to accept gov
ernment clerical positions. Recently
the question or whether leave of alb
sence should be granted to teachers
who enter Army or Navy service or
any charitable organization work for
the war, yesterday a new resolution
was passed in which the directors
decided that in case any instructors
enter military or naval service, the
Red Cross, Y. NJ. c. A. work or SIM
liar enterprises, they are to be re-
instated provided they apply for their
positions imm ediately after leaving
the war service.
