May Lose Appropriation.
Thirty-five school districts
throughout the state out of 2,570
have not received their appropria
tion from ths state for the main
tenance of scoools and they may
not unless they comply with the
compulsory education and other
laws. In most instances the dis
tricts have not received their mon
ey because their officials have fail
ed to send in their reports and af
fidavits that the proper salaries
have, been paid, but in others the
appropriations have been held up
because the compulsory education
law was not enforced. Just what
fate is in store for these districts
cannot be predicted now, but it.
looks as though they would not
get anything. Two of the delin
quents in this respect are in Dau

one in Westmoreland counties.

Philadelphia Record's Review of Sixlocmh
District.
The Philadelphia Vtwv said re
cently: The four counties making
up the Pennsylvania Sixteenth
Congres- district, (Columbia, Mon
tour, Northumberland and Sulli
van) have been in the habit of
sending men of more than usual
calibre to represent them in federal
and state administration. They
did not depait from their custom in
1906, when John Geiser McIIenry
was sent to represent the district in
the Sixtieth Congress. Men are
measured by their brains at Wash
ington. It was the unusual dis
Unction of Mr. McIIenry, as a first
tir.ier, to be appointed as a member
of the important banking and cur-,
tency committee of the House.
No mistake was made. His busi
ness training, as farmer, manufac
turer and banker, enabled him to
grapple with intuitive force the dif
ficult problems of currency legisla
tion ard to take an assured place
in the formulation of helpful meas
ures, upon some of which his nartv

they had better stay in Europe un

received in Austria and Hungary,
where most of the foreigners come
from, that their people are in actual
want here and they cau get no
work. As a result of the migra
tions since November the colonies
of foreigners have been greatly in
creased in numbers. A feature of
the migration of foreigners has been
the large number of girls who have
gone back to their native land.
There has been any amount of work
here for them. The truth is that
the girls have followed the men
back to Austria. Most of them
have come to this country follow
ing the men, the chances ot their
becoming married here being great
er than in Europe. When the men
go back and the chances fade, then
they go back too.
