PITTSBURGH STUTION
TO GET IIEW TOWERS
System Is Old, Bat It Is an Innova
tion at the Western Term
inal at the Pennsy
With the arrival of Spring will
come a hurried resumption of work
on new signal towers and automatic
systems all along the main line of
the Pennsy. The intention of the men
urging those improvements is to have
the Pennsylvania railroad fully equip
ped by October when tho annual in
spection is made. At Pittsburgh elab
orate improvements are being made
in the signal and switching system.
A ne wsystem of signals is being
installed in the Pennsylvania station
at Pittsburgh which has proved a suc
cess on other branches for several
years. Tho' system amounts to a ser
ies of electric lights in the four towers
surrounding the station that indicate
by means of colors the tracks that are
occupied <ind the place of occupancy.
Three colors are made use of and
these show what section of the tracks
are in use as well as the switches.
The fou rtowers about the station
guard two sections of tracks or yards
entering the station from the east and
one each from the Panhandle and the
Fort Wayne, and the same system of
lights are installed in each of the
four towers.
As soon as a train enters the east
yards of tho tsation the track and
the section it is in are at once in
dicated, and as the train passes over
certain switches or moves from one
section of the yards to another this
is also indicated automatically. When
tracks are clear the lights are on;
■when they are occupied the lights
are off. This arrangement is made so
that in case of failure of the lights to
operate the signal will be against the
track and two trains will not by mis
take be run on the same track. The
new system will be in operation in a
short time.

DIDNT SKY COEDU
CATION IS CAUSE
[Continued from First Page.]
from the moral standpoint Professor
Downes gave references from experts
for and against the system. Dr.
Downes said that he touched on the
moral side of the question In view
of the fact that this was one argu
ment .urged locally against the sys
tem. He said in part:
"In this report, so far as It bears on
this particular topic, X shall confine
myself to the question of coeducation
in its relation to morality or im
morality. I do this owing to the fact
that thus far this is practically the
only argument urged locally against
coeducation.
"No proof exists lr. the whole his
tory of public education to warrant
it. There is not one educator in fifty
to-day that believes it. I have not
found a single instance of immorality
in the Central high school during my
ten years' connection with the Harris
burg schools that was traceable to
coeducation. I have heard several
very ugly rumors, which, when inves
tigated, were found to be absolutely
groundless. I have no doubt some
immorality either now exists or has
at some time or another been found
to exist In practically all high schools
whether coeducational or not.
Not All Pure
"It would be an exceptional con
dition to find a largo body of high
school students and have them all
clean and pure. My contention and
the contention of practically all edu
cators is that the coeducational school
did not make them impure nor is it
conducive to impurity. In fact, the
contrary is the -case, namely, that co
education tends to improve morality.
Many educators go so far as to assert
that immorality is greater in separate
schools than in coeducational schools.
"Pursuing the same argument,
namely, that coeducation is conducive
to immorality, we should separate our
boys and girls In street cars, in church,
in Sunday school and in all young
people's societies of the church! par
ticularly those which meet in the
evening. Wo should prohibit boys
from accompanying girls home from
such gatherings. In fact, to be con
sistent, we should prohibit all mixed
social gatherings of youth, both day
and evening, on the ground that such
gatherings are apt to lead to im
morality. To my mind the whole ar
gument is weak, and a reflection upon
the strength of character of our boys
and girls.
"It is not sunk-lent simply to hold
nn opinion that such anil such a thing
is true, and then assert it to l>e a
fact. Assertions based on sueli in
sufficient grounds often misdirect pub-
He opinion, and then matters of great
Importance are apt to be settled
hastily, and, consequently, unwisely.
Such an important matter ,of educa
tional policy as we are now discussing,
for example, should be settled strictly
on ascertainable facts, and not on per
sonal sentiment.
"In connection with tho general
subject I beg to take a few moments
to express my view as to the best
method of bringing about separate
education, should the board conclude,
on moral or better grounds, to inaugu
rate such a system.
Downes Has Scheme
"In my judgment, the only way to
bring about such a change, and at the
samp time conserve the best interests
of the taxpayers, is to provide ade
quate accommodations for all the boys
In our present Technical high school
and like accommodations for the girls
elsewhere. 4 It would be manifestly
unwise to maintain three high schools
in a city whose high school enroll
ment is only 1,800 students. I know
of no city in the country the size of
Harrisburg that attempts such a thing.
High schools are expensive to main
tain. The per capita cost of education
in one central high school would bo
much less than in two district high
schools. We know this to be a fact
for the reason that wo now have ex
perience with two schools. To add
still another sudli school would still
further increase the per capita cost.
"I believe, with Mr. Houtz, that an
expansion of the courses offered in
the Technical high school, for exam
ple, by tho establishmant of ancient
language courses and complete busi
ness and vocational courses, would
solve the question, if separate edu
cation is desired, if it were not for tho
fact that the building at present
cannot accommodate all the boys.
All Hoys Together
"To educate all boys in one build
ing would, of course, mean the aban
donment of a distinctively technical
high school, an educational feature in
which we all take pride, though this
would not necessarily mean the doing
away with distinctively technical
courses. While some of us might re
gret an absorption of this kind, I
cannot see that such a course would
be prejudicial to the educational in
terests of the city. At least, in my
judgment, such a change would not be
vital. As to expense, I believe it would
cost more, all the conditions which I
have mentioned being taken into con
sideration. to adequately house the
sexes separately than to provide one
general high school."
Single and Double Session
Referring to single and double ses
sions, Professor Downes says there
is no remedy even in the enlargement
of facilities at Central High school and
said:
"To rent houses in the neighbor
hood for the overflow from year to
year would be, in my judgment, abso
lutely out of the question; first, be
cause iTuch houses would not fulfill
legal health requirements; second, no
landlord would allow valuable prop
erty to be so transformed as to meet
these requirements; and third, ever. If
he would, the value received would
not warrant the expense. A proposi
tion, such as was submitted a few
weeks ago, to rent a house and fur
nish and equip it for the teaching of
domestic economy, is entirely feasible
however, for the reason that the build
ing would not be used to seat stu
dents and tbe class sections in this
work would be very small.
"Our double session arrangement is
not satisfactory. No double sess'lon is
satisfactory. But I am firmly of the
opinion not only that our present
double session, especially since we have
reduced the length of each session by
a half hour, is far more satisfactory,
with our present and our annually in
creasing enrollment, than a single ses
sion would be, but also that it is the
only feasible solution of the prob
lem."
Cost of High Schools
On the cost of high schools, Pro
fessor Dowries after giving the cost of
various high schools in the State, says:
"Our own Technical High school,
exclusive of the Annex, cost $215,000,
ajid has a maximum student capacity,
including the Annex, of only 575.
"The estimate of Dr. Henry Snyder,
tho Board <>£ Trade's expert, Is that a
new building could be erected In
Harrlsburg, accommodating 1,500 stu
dents, for $450,000.
"I shall not attempt to draw any
conclusions from this data. It is sim
ply submitted at this time for the in
formation of the board, with the
thought that It may be used for ref
erence and bo of some service in our
own Important local problem.
"I have always felt that when a
new ljigh school is to be built in Har
rlsburg wo should bear In mind our
Ideals and progress with respect to
other lines of civic improvement. We
should have a building that will pro
vide for every modern idea in public

I A vigorous search to discover the

streets, Middletown, is being made.
Early Monday morning Pike kissed
his bride of but little over a year
good-by and left for his work. He
has not been seen since. The wife is
nearly prostrated with grief and can
advance no reason for the mysterious
disappearance of her husband.
The Pikes came to Middletown from
Halifax about a month ago. They
were recently married and their do
mestic relations were of the happiest
They have no children. When Pike
left home Monday morning he com
plained to her that ho Was feeling un
well. It Is only a few blocks from
the Pike home to the shoe factory
however, and no one seems to have
seen Pike since he left his home. It
Is feared by his wife that he may

SURE WAY TO GET
RID OF DANDRUFF
End Itching Scalp and Stop Fall
ing Hair—At Once.
There 1b one sure way that never
falls to remove dandruff completely
and that Is to dissolve It. Thiß de
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply It at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub It in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy, every
single sign and trace of it no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop In
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
If you want to keep your hair look
ing rich, do by all means get rid of
dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair
so quickly. It not only starves the
hair and makes It fall out, but it
makes It stringy, straggly, dull, dry,
brittle and lifeless, and everybody no
tices it. You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. It is Inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. Thi*
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.—Advertisement
