SPANISH IN men SCHOOLS IS URGED Leading Educators of City Point Out Need of Course in Teaching of Spanish in the Central and Technical High Schools of this city is being strongly urged by the leading educators of the Harrisburg school district. Dr. Charles B. Fager, principal of the Technical School, this morning said that It is growing imperative that Spanish be added to the curricu lum. because of the opening of the Panama Canal and the rapidly grow ing foreign trade between this coun try and South America, Spanish is the principal language spoken. Many of the young men, both of business and technical training, who have been graduated by the Harris burg schools have been seeking em ployment in the Spanish-speaking counties of Central and South Amer ica. All such are compelled to study the language after they reach the foreign countries and they were seri ously handicapped for a long while, ■Dr. Fager pointed out. Uownrs Wants Spanish, Too. F. E. Downes, superintendent of the city schools, agreed with Dr. Fager and said that he realized the im portance of instructing students of the high schools in Spanish. He said that adding this language to the courses of the two schools would probably make necessary the appointment of one more instructor for each building. Dr. Fager, however, said, if the subject were made elective he is positive that Tech could not got a better instructor in Spanish than Professor George Hamilton, who now teaches German and French at that school. Members of the faculty at Central are al«o In favor of adding a third language to the course and advocate one-year of elective Instruction in the Spanish language. Miss Theresa Greenawalt, Miss Jessie Bowers, Professor William M. Fahnestock and Prof. W. D. Meikle, «11 of whom are instructors in ancient and modern languages at Central, are among the stt-ongest advocates for in struction in Spanish. Spanish Most Important. Mr. Meikle, who is particularly in terested in Spanish and Italian langu ages, said "Spanish is of more Impor tance than French in conversation of the present day." I know of a number of people in Harrisburg, he went on, who are taking private lessons in Spanish and the increasing number of such shows the need for courses in the schools, as far as literature is concerned, it is of little importance, but it is vitally Important for Its com mercial usage.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH COMPENSmi IS TO BE CONSIDERED State Federation of Labor Wiil At tend Hearings Here and Then Wait Until January A general discussion of employers' liability or workmen's compensation bills will be held in this city on De cember 18, at which the Industrial Accidents Commission will listen to arguments on features of bills pre pared by operators and others who are interested in various measures of that kind. It is said that some bills em bodying features of West Virginia and Ohio laws are being drawn and that various forms of Insurance will be brought up. The Pennsylvania State Federation of Labor will have repre sentatives at the meeting. The legislative committee of the I federation at lta meeting here last night decided to hav« a meeting on January 18, at which the committee will determine which compensation act to support. It Is probable that it will line up behind the bill prepared by the Industrial Accidents Commis sion, with which It has been working. Steps to ask the Legislature to create an investigation commission to probe the wages and working condi tions of women and minors in Penn sylvania and report to the General Assembly In 1917 such acts as It may deem advisable to improve conditions were also taken by the Federation, which will not present any minimum wage bill, but make a study of condi tions, which are liable to change be cause of the war in Europe and from other causes. Neither will any amend ment to the women's labor law be of fered by the labor people, and they will oppose any which may be pre sented with an idea of weakening it. The committee will oppose any bill to have convict labor work on roads. It is the Idea of the labor people that the State Industrial Board, which has been making regulations for safe ty and sanitation in various industries through authority given by the act of 1913 has met many conditions here tofore complained of and done away Vith necessity for laws.
