SCHOOL FOR MANNED
SOLDIERS DISCUSSED
Steps Are Taken to Establish
Course for Teachers at
Meeting

Definite steps toward the establish
ment of a school here for the instruc-
ton of teachers who want to teach
crippled soldiers vocations by which they
may make living were taken this
afternoon.
A meeting of the executive committee
of the executive board .of the Philadel-
phia branch of the National Women's
War Service League was held In the
league headquarters. 1902 Walnut street
Reports on how much money will be
needed for the establishing of the school
were read and ways to get the needed
funds were suggested. Samuel b.
Fleisher is chairman of the committee.
Other members are Mrs Frederick Rock
we'll, Miss Margaret Neall and William
c. Ash.
Another matter reported on by the
committee was things to be included in
the course of study and the equipment
necessary for the conducting of the
school.
The executive committee made it's re-
port to the board. which body took under
advisement the recommendations of the
committee and decide finally what the
action will be toward beginrffss the
school,
One of the principal things discussed
titude of the Government toward the
proposed school. The sponsors are
anxious to have Federal approval of the
project before going too far with ar
rangements
Backers of the schools in New York,
Boston and Washington proceeded with
out governmental Endorsement and are
| instructing teachers in how to teach in
| jured troopers when they return from
LNray Sn fn ha n nln n
made any move toward recognizing the
three established schools.
DR.. G.. G.. Davis, head of the rehabili-
| tation of soldiers work in this State,
addressed the meeting today and out
! lined the Federal attitude toward the
| local movement. Another physician in
terested in the plans for the school Is DR..
! owen Copp. of the Pennsylvania Hos
pital.
No location has been determined as
! the headquarters for the school. The
selection of a site has been left in the
| hands of the executive committee for
| recommendation. After this body has
determined what 1t believes to be the
best place to establish the school, the
executive board will pass on the ques-
! tion.
There are a half dozen schools in the
city which have offered their equipment
! for the use of the proposed institution.
but it is reported that the executive
committee has narrowed its choice to
one of four, but which one leads In
favor coulds not be learned.
Inquiry is to be made in Washington
as to the standing Of the proposed
school IN the eyes of the Government.
This action may be taken this week.
It has been estimated that the schooi
will cost at first at least $4,000. This
Is the price of establishing it. What the
running expenses will be has not been
determined.
The finance committee of the execu-
tive board soon will decide how to
raise the money needed, but this plan
will not be made until the exact amount
to be campaigned for has been deter
mined
Twelve weeks probably will be the
length of the teachers course when the
school opens. The three schools no"
operating have courses of twelve weeks
duration.

the tragedy was caused. She rallied
strongly at the Abingdon Memorial Hos
pital after midnight, and this morning
when her brother left the hospital. ply
sicians expressed confidence that she
would live.
When the suburban authorities got
into communication last night with Will
liam Neville, of Conshohocken, recent
appointee as Coroner of Montgomery
County, they were advised by Mr.. New
} ille that, while he had been notified
of his appointment his commission had
not yet been sent him. and he had no
official standing that would enable him
TO act. Therefore, the county Is virtu-
ally without a Coroner and there Is
possibility that the local health registrar

The bodies Of the five women who
were killed outright were taken to Hell

the event of the selection of the Jenkin-

The funerals of Mrs. Margaret Ewell,

of Mrs. Longacre. The interment will be
at Holy Cross Cemetery.
Arrangements for the funerals Of Mrs
II, J. Maroney Mrs. Harry Philips anc
Mrs. J. NJ. Ryan have not been com
pleted.
In view of the gravity of the tragedy
the number of persons killed, and theil
prominence, and other features of the
case, it is considered likely that Mr.
Neville's commission will be rushed tc
him.
At the June meeting of the Board Of
Commissioners of Cheltenham, there |:
no doubt that the question Of forcing
action to remove the Chelten Mills death
trap crossing will follow.
