Penrose aud Brombangh Forces Havieg »
Merry Fight, and the Pablic to Soffer
for Lack of Benefloinl Legislation,
Thre Penrose-Brumbaugh row is go-
ing merrily forward, but the pushing
is all from the Penrose end. It ie
noticeable here that since the Speaker-
ship fiasco the Brumbaugh forces are
saying and doing nothing and it looks
as though they would bes content to
let bad enough alone and not invite
an investigation of the Governor and
his administration. The Gang forces
under Penrose, however, are following
up their BSpeakership victory wich an
earnestness which shows their de-
termination to utterly exterminate
the Brumbaugh crowd before the next
Gubernatorial eampaign comes. Pen
rose has anpounced that the investi-
gation of the HState administration
will positively be made and that if
the evidence warrants, impeachment
proceedings against the Governor will
patagally follow. He has also named
a ‘* War Board’ consisting of the
State Senators Jim McNichol of Phila-
delphia, Bill Sproul of Delaware Coun-
ty, and Larry Eyre of Chester County,
President pro tem Beidleman of
Dauphin, Speaker Baldwin, Auditor
Geueral-elect spyder, Representative
Woodward of Allegheny, Chairman
of the House Blate Committee, and
Slated Chairman of the House appro-
pritation committee, W, Harry Baker,
Hecretary of the Republican Blate
Committee, also Secretary of the Hen-
ate, William B. Leib, Resident Clerk
of the House anid organization boss ip
Schyylkill County. Gangsters to the
limit, every one of them, and Penrose
himself is to preside over their celiv-
erations, The sole purposes of thie
organization is to thwart Brumbaugh
io any of bis sppointments and to
kill apy legislation that savors of prog-
reese, Not a eipgle word bas been
gaid for beveficial legi:lation for this
great Commonwealib, the whole pre-
gram this year is to use the Slate, lie
institations, and the §70,000,000 appro-
priatiops to wipe out the Brumbaugh
faction and eliminate if possible 8 con-
test for Republican nomination for
Governor next year. How long the
good people of this Slate are golog to
sabmit to the Peurose ruinstion pol-
icy is hard to tell, but he is playing as
though the patience of the peopie Kuew
no end and it may be he cap gel awa)
with the bacon awhile louger.
Mepator Penrose iss reached the
point in his a tack upon Governor
Biumbsugh where he asserts that the
chief excutive will bave to face charge
of perjury in conneciion with the 1914
cat psigu fund, msifenssnce in oflice
and bribery. He delails some of toe
oftences De declares himself resdy and
slie 10 prove,
It is due the Governor to say thal
these ihresis, hangiog over him for
months, have pot deterred him from
continuing his opposition to Penrose,
But the open charges that he commit-
ted perjury and bribery would seem
to place an obligation upon him, as
well a8 upon bis accusers, to foice an
investigation without delay. The
interests of the BSlate—~ihe interests of
law-—must be considered as paramount
to those of either Brumbaugh or Pen
rose, It must not be allowed Lo rest
as a matter of * personal choice”
with either, No continuance of the
sensational stories should be allowed
ou the basis of the Governor's ignoring
charges agsivet him, or on the basis
of Penrose’s goivg no farther than to
threaten action. Protecilon of the
name of the state demands that the
end of this disgraceful controve:sy be
reached as 8000 as possible,
Penrose threatens to probe the vari-
ous departments under the Brombaugt
administration ;: charateristically, he
singles out as one object of his suspic-
fon the insurance department, which
for the ficet time since its organization
is directed by an efficient sod cour.
ageous official, who has done more
than all his predecessors to put fear
into the hearts of insurance crooks.
A complete investigation covering the
last two administrations would prob-
ably be wholesom. , for it would bring
into open contrast the operations apo
methods under Peurose-Tener regime
snd a Brumbaugh regime,
Iacidentally, if Penrose and his al-
lies decide to force an irquiry into
the administration’s record, it ought
to be in order to include the matter
of corruption of a former mayor of
Philadelphis,

PROF, LOSE SPEAKS AT INSTITUTE, le;
The Modern School and Teacher Far Ahead
of Gid-Time School, Says Principal of
Central State Normal, at Teachers’
Looal Institute,
Education in eastern Penns Valley
will very liksly be raised a notch or
two within the next year if parents
and teachers will be guided by the
suggestions offered by Prof. Charles
Lose, privecipal of the Central Btate
Normal Behool, Lock Haver, who
opened the teachers’ local institute in
district No, 1, at Millheim, on Friday
evening. The auditorium where the
sessions were held, was packed to the
doors on that evening, to listen to
Prof. Lose, who as a practical school
man ranks among those occupying
the front line in this state. Prof.
Lose’'s pubject was ‘‘The modern
school,” and In discussivg this topic
he drew a vivid picture of the old-time
school building as compared with the
modern school building, as well aa the
old-time teacher and the modern
teacher, Needless to say, the former
in each instance suffered by compari-
sop, for Prof, Lose is a modern teacher
himself and has experienced the
changes for the better In school life
which have surely taken place within
the past thirty years or less,
To prove that the art and science of
teaching was being given the deepest
wort of study by the best thinkers and
writers of today, Prof, Lose stated that
us superintendent of schools he was
able to recommend to bis teachers one
hundred different books which had
been written within a year, treating of
new school problems and showing
wherein schools may be made more
efficient. The old-time school house
stood in sorrowful contrast to the
modern school of today, and Prof.
Lose, no doubt, had in mind the con-
solidated school as it is in foree in
some states (but not Pennsylvania )
with its healthful moral, physical and
mental atmosphere; where school
children are encouraged to remsin
about the premises after school hours,
instead of peing chased home ; where
play grounds, lighted if you please, so
thal even at night children may con-
gregate and epjoy various healthful
sports instead of being found on the
streets where the ivfluence is always
for evil; where manual trainiog is
part of the curriculum ; where rooms
sre well lighted and automatically
Eept at an even leu perature ; where it
may be eaid of closets that they are
clean, decent, private, and sanitary,
In every way, except one, Prof,
Lose proved the wodern school and
modern teachers were far superior to
ibe old-time classe. Thi: one excep-
tion pertained to lack of respect and
courtesy which the modern pupil
thows to superiors. Prof, Lose stated
that whereas Lhe school boy or girl of
yesterday recognized his teacher or a
passing individual with the tip of the
Cap Or & courlesy, the 1917 youth was
ready to let go & snow ball with up-
erring aim. Temptatione, born of
speediog and hustling life, are the
cause for tbls retrogression, thinks
Prof, Lose. The fsct that temptations
neve multiplied far faster than the
«florts made to cope with them ; the
fsct that the trend of population hse
veen city-ward ; and the reason that
euforced idlendss on the part of the
boy and girl, brouga! about through
the taking out of the home life various
industries that in the modern times
have becom. commercialized, has
caused them to be drawn to harmful
influences, are the Answers to this
question.
I'he evening session was in charge
of Prof, U. Wasson, of the Coburn
schools, who after a few pertinent re-
marke, introduced Prof. Lose,
The two sessions on Saturday were
given over to the teachers in the dis
irlet. The program was closely ad-
nered to, the only variation belog on
account of the unavoidable absence of
two of the teachers on the program
and the introduction of Director Stov-
er.
“What the first year in school
should do for the child,” was a topic
weil gone over by Miss Carrie Bartges.
I'he speaker who held closest to her
sutject of all on the floor, was Mise
Sarab Fisher in ber '' Starting the be-
glopers’”’, Her talk was highly in-
teresting from start to finish and
the ideas presented could easily be
put into practice.
* The school as a social institution”
was the topic to which Prof, W. 0.
Heckman gave attention, A consid.
erable portion of his talk was devoted
to the necessity of tesching, by pre.
cept and example, politeness to school

Pittsburgh Groom a “ State ” Senior,
After having successfully kept their
friends in total darkness concerning
their marriage, Mr, and Mrs, Erdman
West, after two months’ secrecy, made
public the announcement that the
happy event took place in November,
The bride, nee Miss Ruth Lambert,
is the only daughter of Mr, and Mrs,
H. J. Lambert, of this place, and it
was while the Lamberts were living
at State College that Mr, West, in 1918,
came there to enter the freshman class
at The Pennsylvania State College,
and took rooms at the Lambert home,
A ' friendship between the young
people ripened into love, and had ite
culmination in a happy marriage. It
was during the Pennsylvania Day
festivities at State College that the
proepective bride left Centre Hall, os-
tensibly to attend that function, but
according to well lald plans the groom-
to-be boarded the train at Lemont
and together they went to Pitwsburgh
where a license was procured and
on Baturday, November 18th, Arch-
deacon Thomas Bigham tied the knot
in Bt. Timothy's Episcopal chureh,
Pitteburgh., They returned to State
College on Bunday and came to Centre
Hall on Monday, without any of their
friends bere having learned where
they had been,
The groom is in his senior yearat the
Pennsylvania State College avd upon

any. With bi: mother he moved to
Centre Hall from Philadelphia last
spring, occupying a part of the double

Writes from Nebraska,
J. N. Erhart writes the Reporter
from his home in loavale, Nebrasks,
under date of January 6, as follows :
“ Enclosed find check for three dol-
iars for which put the dale ahead on
my label.
“ Am also evclosing a pleture of my-
self and cattle, The catile were on
feed forty days when the picture was
takev, Crops were vot very good the
past year, but are brioging big prices:
wheat, $1.70 ; corp, 80c; noge, $10.00
per cwt, on feol; horses and cattle
high ; bay, $10.00 per ton.
“The feeding proposition looks
pretty good now when $day fed
cattle bring $9.40 per ewt. I am feed
ing 89 steers and 92 head of hogeg
{he steers coat me $89.00 per head the
2ad of March, 1916, I raised my hogs
on alfalfa hay and 28500 bushels of
corn ; had to buy 1200 busbels of corn
at 80 cents per bushel ; will feed until
the 16th of February.”
State Asks for Big App opristion,
A budget calling for State appropri-
ation of almost $3,600,000 to meet the
needs of The Pennsylvania State Col-
lege during the next two years has
been prepared by the board of trustees,
Chis sum is required, they say, to
malutain the insuliuiion and to erect
new buildings made necessary by the
rapid growth of the student bouy,
A Biate-wide campaign to inform
toe public of the work, growth and
needs of the college Line been lsunched,
Clroulsrs seitiog forth thie informe-
tion are belog distributed by students,
aslumpl aud friends of the college, It
is believed this aolivity, together
with personal appeals to the members
of the legislature will obtain an ap-
propristion large enough to preveut
further crippling of the ips itntioo.

Siate’s Way to Hecinim Barren Land,
That the 5,000,000 acres of barren
inuds iu Penusyivauia can be reclaim-
ed by reforesting is finally established
by reports given out by the Depart-
ment of Foresty this week. These
reports cover the planting of 21,000,000
trees on 13,000 acres of Siate Forest
land, .
The oldest plantation on record was
made in 1902 ino Franklin county with
two year old white pine. About nine-
ty per cent of these trees are now liv-
ing, and they have an average height
of fi.teen feet.
Over the state at large, from seven-
ty~five to eighty per cent of the total
vumber of trees planted are living.
The averages compare very favorably
with figures {rom some of the German
forests which have been under iuten-
