more boiu-es would be elected to be occupied by
skilled workmen, who come with their tamillcs

Then theie would lie a chance frr the other

SUB-DISTRICT
HIGH SCHOOLS
ONE
PLAN OF SOLVING
FLEXING PROBLEM.
PER-
Board of Control Considering Moans
of Relieving the Threatened Con
gestion at the High School Train
ing School to Bo Transferred as a
Temporary Expedient The Es
tablishment of a Junior High
School and the Raising of Gram
mar School Grades.
When the High school opens next
September, It Is expected that not less
than nine hundred pupils will be xeek
Ing nelmlsslon, actotellng to the cisti
mate3 ot the ofllcerw of tho bourd of
control.
How- to accommodate them all Is a
question now petplexlng the biiHtd.
Borne think that by transferring the
training school to other quartern and
using these looms for class-t corns for
High school pupils, the question xIII
be solxed. It Is genet ally admitted on
tho boaid that thlr, will solve the ques
tion for tlie piesent, but some of the
ntembeis ate not content with any
tempotary expedients and ate favor
ing the establishment of a Junior High
school, xv bete pupils from the gram
mar school can take one or two years
ot tho High school courses.
None of the larger cities, It Is con
tended, confine themsplvr to a single
High school. Tho cential High school,
with Junior or sub-dlstt let High schools,
prevail In every city of any size.
Eventually, this must come in Sctan
ton, It Is atgued, and, now when 11
ptesslng need for more High school
accommodation Is upon us. the proper
thing to do, It Is nigued, xxould bo to
establish one or mote of thee sub-dls-ttlct
schools.
Piesldont Gibbons when discussing
the matter with 11 Ttlbttnc repot tor, ellel
not commit himself to any pattlctilar
solution of the pending problem. Tho
most economical xxay, he sa.d, would
be to talse tho grade of the Rinmmnr
schools, but this, he felt, xvould do an
Injury to cdticntion, ns It wottlel have a
tendency to ellseouiago pupils fiom
completing tho coutse.
II lb the ambition ot evety student to
reach the High school, and this am
bition Is an ever-piesent Incentive to
eneigetlo xvork. Once a pupil reaches
the High school, he or she can be safely
counted upon to stay there till gradu
ation. The potcentage of xUthdrnwals
fiom school Is largest in tho upper
classes of the giammar schools. Tho.
longer a pupil Is Kept In the grammar
school the gi eater will be the pet cent
age of withdrawals. It may be, Mt.
Gibbons said, that the pupils xxould
come to logatd the High school couises
in tho giammar school as being tho
equivalent of the same couises ns
taught in the High school building by
11 specially f-elected faculty, but the
chances aie they xvon't.
The high and training school commit
tee Is meeting periodically to discuss
this question nnd befoto tho summer
Is over they expect to haxe the best
feasible plan ready to put In opetatlon.
One new teacher has been added to
tho force In the Kngllsh department,
Miss Katherlnc Smith, and three, pos
sibly four, mote nio to be selected.
COATES IS STILL POOR.
Has Not Yet Received Any Part of
the Estate to Which He
Is the Heir.
Jerry Coates, tho aged pauper at the
Hillside Homo who last year fell heir
to a fortune left by a ilch but ec
centric female relative, ha noxer re
ceived any portion of the legacy, but
Is still an Inmate of tho home, pen
niless but far ftom unhappy,
From the first the old man declared
that even when ho received tho money
ho would not leave tho Institution,
that the tteatment affotded him there
xvns highly satisfactory and ho wasn't
going to leaxe a good thing to throw
himself upon the mercies of a cold,
cold xvorld, old and xvealt, with his
pockets bulging with coin of tho
tealm.
He philosophically admitted at tho
time that there xvero worse things
in the xv 01 Id than money nnd that
a few thousand dollats In the bank
might come In x-ery useful as a te
servo fund to draw upon for tho pur
chases of unlimited supplies of to
bacco, with pet haps a different pipe
to smoke every day. He thetefote
told Supetintondent Beemer to look
after his foitune for him, stoically
lit his little black pipe and has not
wotried about the legaey since.
It Is fortunate that bo has not, as
tho money Is tied up by a tangle of
litigation, xvhleh forms a Gotdlan
knot that xxould loqulio mote than
Alexander's swoid to loose, Ktom all
over this nnd other states have ap
peared needy relatives xx Itli claims on
the estate and moreover, as has been
before nanated In these columns, the
deceased xvoman's xx HI contained a
xery peculiar proxlso, stipulating that
a monument must bo erected over her
remains, costing $11,000 and naming
the firm xvhleh should lear tho me
morial stone.
After tho $11,000 requisite- to gratify
this peculiar xxhlm is deducted fiom
the funds, the estate does not amount
to enough to compensate the x-ailnus
needy telatlves, and there has there
fore boon a sttong opposition made to
the will. Efforts aie now- on foot to
compiomlse for a modest $1,000 monu
ment, nnd tin n the balance Into the
estate. In the meanwhile, old Jcny
smokes his little pipe placidly, and

LIEUTENANT KECK HOME
He Spent Two Years in the Philip
pines in the Service of His
Country.
Lieutenant Morrison M. Keck, of 1010
Pine street, is back In this city nftcr
almost two years of active service In
the Philippine islands with the Forty
second Infantry, He xvas mustered out
at the Ptesldlo recently, at tho same
time ns Lieutenant Thomas Muiphy, of
thl city, who was with the Forty-seventh
volunteers.
Lieutenant Keck saw haul seivlco
anil plenty of it, but the rough cam
paigning, toiiid heal and rigoioua llfo
luive left nn traces on his strong
physique, and he looks heat tier and
healthier than ever, rejoicing, more
over, In .1 tanned color which shows
tho effects of the blazing sun to xxhlch
ho was daily subjected.
With soldier's modesty, Lieutenant
Keck is icltictant about dwelling at any
length on his own achievements In the
East, but ho Is, nevertheless, known to
have been one of the best ofllcers In
tho regiment. On tho xxay home nnd
nt the Presidio be commanded his com
pany, In the absonie of tho captain,
xvho-iemalned In tho Philippines to ac
cept n government position.
Lieutenant Keck received his com
mission August 30, 1899, and xxas as
signed to Company M. Forty-second ln-
fantiy, destined for the Philippines. He
xvao theie practically ever since, and If
all his ndxentuies could be set forth
nt length there xxould be good lending
matter galote
His leglment xxas stationed In North
ern Luzon, and xxhllo It took part In no
x-ety active engagements xvith tho
dusky enemy, the amiable riliplno
made his ptosencc known on many nn
occasion, and frequent xxete the lively
bitishes and fierce skitmlshes with tho
follow eis of tho only and inimitable
Agulnaldo. "It xxas a continual round
of excitement," said Lieutenant Keck
briefly last night, but tho modest
young ofllcer xvas unwilling to specify
any of the exciting details.
One ot his ndventutes, xxhlch ptom
Ised some doings of a lively natute,
xxas when ho acted us the entlie convoy
of a large sum of gox-ernment funds.
Ten thousand dollars In gold and slher
xx ere glx-en him to convey to different
quartermasters at posts for n contslder
able distance fiom the scene of his
company's encampment.
He made the ttlp by boat, having as
solo escoi t a few not too reliable na
tixes, xv hose duty it was to navigate
tho little vessel, xvhlle tho lieutenant
x niched hl precious charge xvith one
eye and his sallow -looking companions
with the other. Tho trip passed xvith
tuit adventure, however. Tho lieuten
ant hasn't the highest opinion In the
xv 01 Id of the Filipino as an open Held
fighter, and claims that his sttong point
at the xvartlor's game Is In potting a
man it 0111 behind tho bush.
I'aptaln Lomax xxas in chat go of the
company, nnd has now accepted a posi
tion in the civilian service on tlie isl
and,. The company landed In San
Francisco, June "1, tholr trip passing
pleasantly, and disbanded June ".'.
There was one other Scranton man in
the teglment, and bo xxas Robert Vail,
quat terniaster sergeant of Company D.
He xvas formerly a local optician, con
nected with Oscar Hejer, of Spiuco
stieet, and Lieutenant Muiphy declares
that he made one of tho llnest set
geants in the leglment.
"While In the Philippines, Lieutenant
Keck xxas more foitunate than many
of the ofllcers and men, and, leadlly ac
climating hlmtelf to the conditions, ex
peilenccd not one day of Illness. He
brings home xvith him many quaint
trophies of the new possessions. Among
these Is a quaint statuette caivetl out
of wood with singular deftness nnd
sculptinal skill by a native. Another
curiosity Is a Filipino hat. It Ih Just
nbout half the size of a washtub, but
being made of bamboo is very light for
Its size. When placed nn the head it
completely obliterates all Indlxlduallty.
Many other souvenirs of a very In
teresting nature aie seen about the
Keck lesidcnce, as icmemhtaiiccs of
the lieutenant's experiences In the East.
The latter has not yet dotet mined on
hln futute plans nnd Is undecided as to
whether or not he will continue his
martial career.
