There are few like it in the country and none has a record of doing more in the cause of training of youth. Its mem bership and influence have been grow ing steadily because its purposes arc high and it has taken the lead in that advancement of education which is making Pennsylvania so much talked of and which properly goes with the movements for health, safety and wel fare now occupying so much of public attention. Furthermore, the people of the sec ond State in the Union have shown appreciation of the worth of educators by selecting for Governor one of the former presidents of the association nnd a conspicuous figure in its councils for well nigh twenty years. In the sixty-five years of its exist ence this association has played a big part in shaping legislation and its new custom of meeting here just before the assembling of the State's lawmakers affords a means of securing the opin ion of those vitally concerned in vari ous measures suggested for the better ment of the school system and admin istration of its affairs. There are many things proposed just now and the ideas of the pedagogues will be useful In determining their value as statutes of the Commonwealth. All Harrisburg joins in welcoming the teachers and their friends and wishes them a pleasant visit to the city which has often entertained them. HOAD BUILDING PROGRAM THE State Economy and Efficiency Commission hit the nail right on the head In its references to the State Highway Department when it declared that the duty placed upon the department should be "In accordance with anticipated revenues" and that "sufficient appropriations" be made for the work. The last Legislature gaily voted money the State did not have and the Governor had to cut down the amounts appropriated to make them fit the revenue. When the bills left the leg islative halls It appeared that magnifi cent provision had been made for a splendid scheme of highway improve ment. The scheme was as fine as could be asked, only the lawmakers were prodigal with what dear old Father Penn did not have in his strong box. The department's responsibilities, however, were not lessened by the exercise of the pruning knife on the appropriations and it was further em barrassed by the captious course of the fiscal officers over use of the auto mobile license revenue for mainten ance purposes. The Legislature added so many miles to the State's main highway system that by June 1, next, It will be over 10,000 miles; It provided for sub stantial aid for buildlng of "dirt" roads and for vatious other things to make our 90,000 odd miles of roads the best In the nation. To carry out all of the projects authorized would put an aw ful dent in the State's revenue for the next decade. It therefore remains for the law makers to select what work shall be pushed along, to find out what it re quires In the way of money and then to vote the funds, establishing a pro gram of systematic appropriations— and giving the people something to anticipate and officials the where withal to meet the expectations. COUNTY SCHOOL BOARDS THERE is sound common sense In the proposal to place the con duct of rural public schools In tho hands of county boards of directors. The recommendation comes from a special committee, headed by Dr. Nathan C. SchaefCer, State Super intendent of Public Instruction, ap pointed a year ago by the State Edu cational Association, and is the basic conclusioiw>f a report covering many points of school betterment, following it survey of the entire educational sys tem of Pennsylvania. The county board would have power to levy county school tax, to fix boundaries for school districts regardless of township lines, furnish supplies at the expense of dis trict boards when they fail to pur chase them promptly, elect the county superintendent and his assistants and have general supervision of the work of attendance officers. Anybody who has given thought to the pchool needs of the State will see the wlsdodi of these, sugtostions. Tho TUESDAY EVENING, present system of township control Is cumbersome and obsolete. The tend ency now Is toward centralisation of schools and Increased efficiency. Lit tle can be done In this direction until the township school limit is wiped out and districts rearranged to permit of centralized effort. Tho township is a stumbling block to educational development. It prompts school di rectors—if they be narrow, and not a few of them are—to sacrifice the best interests of the school to keep down tax rate, and It is a bar to the erec tion of hundreds of much needed centrally located schools. In a large majority of instances the township school has been successful, not because of the school board elected to direct It, but in spite of that fact. It is but logical to suppose that a small board elected to servo an entire county would be composed of bigger, broader men than can be found In any one township, no matter how carefully the district selections are made. Also, a county board would be less responsive to purely local preju dices and the larger Interests of the schools would bo no doubt better served under the system proposed than has been possible even under the most favorable administration of the law as it stands. At all events, the very fact that a no less personage than Dr. Schaeffer subscribes to tho recommendation will warrant the Legislature in giving the subject most serious consideration. THE RIGHT SPIRIT NO institution in Harrisburg has taken greater strides in the last lialf-dozen years than the Har risburg Academy. From a school with hardly two score pupils and a reputation confined to a few colleges it has become one of the best known of the secondary schools of Pennsyl vania, a real preparatory school, and with opportunities that are large in deed. The growth of the Academy in enrollment and in fame has been of advantage to Harrisburg. For years we have lamented the fact that we have no college, no large educational institution such as have Carlisle, Get tysburg, Lancaster, Allentown and other places. We have two excellent high schools and material for a third, but we have not had a distinctively Harrisburg institution. The Academy offers the chance to get it. It is 128 years young. It has an enrollment of students that hqs touched its maxi mum. It has all the students it can handle and it has overflowed into sur rounding dwellings, which are neither fitted to be schoolrooms or dormi tories. The Academy has reached that point where it can be made a great insti tution of its class, a credit to the city, something' in which everyone can take the pride that is taken by the people of Andover. Lawrenceville, Concord and other towns in the preparatory schools within their limits. It is grati fying now to learn that the alumni have pledged their support to the trus tees and Headmaster Brown in de veloping the institution. The numer ous alumni can be a tower of/strength and help not only their school and its pupils, present and to come, but their city as well. MORE THAN .lOlt AT STAKE ALL records have been broken during the past thirty days at the naturalization bureau of the New York county clerk's office when 4,143 men applied for papers admitting them to citizenship. This is the largest number of applicants ever recorded in any one month. The rush for citizenship is attributed i by officials to the steps taken to en- I force the law providing that only citi zens of the United States shall be em ployed on public work, thus barring aliens from employment on the new subway construction.- But it takes Ave years to make a citizen, and in the State of New York the first papers mean only that the possessor of them intends to become a citizen as soon as he is eligible. Before this large num ber can reasonably hope to acquire the right to vote and to obtain em ployment on public works under the present law trains will be running in the new subway and they will probably find themselves performing some other kind of work widely separated from any kind of political control. The nationalities represented are largely those of the countries now at war and it is likely, if the officials look deeply enough, they will see in this rush to be naturalized a widespread desire to be exempt from military duty abroad and t6 become citizens of a land that does not rush hastily into war. OPPOSITION WITHIN PARTY THERE should be no surprise over the news from Washington that opposition is developing in the Democratic party ta the renom ination of President Wilson in 191 G. Any President who has conducted himself In office as has the present incumbent since the very moment of his inauguration must expect to have enemies even within the ranks of his own party organization. Indeed, the President has been quite as autocratic in his dealings with Democrats, who did not submissively bow to hfs every wish, as he has with Republicans and Progressives. Soon he will be seeking the favor of those he has snubbed, and it Is but natural he should find them quite as cold to his desires as he has been to theirs. The row be tween the President and the Senate over patronage distribution only tends to increase this feeling between the executive and many of the leaders of thCDemoeracy. Texas and Louisiana are developing strong opposition to the President's second term ambition and It Is by no means surprising that this is so. The tariff slashing dictated by the White House has been responsible to a large degree for the deplorable business con ditions tho South Is at present experi encing, and the two States named have been particularly hard hit, not only in this respect but by what many of their people believe to have been neglect on the part of the Administra tion to come to the aid of the cotton growers in their recent distress, i There is to bo considered also the hostility aroused In certain quarters over the President's non-committal attitude with regard to woman's suf frage and hiß open opposition to the Hobson amendment for national pro hibition. In these matters the Presi dent was evidently playing politics, but In such a blundering manner as to do himself more harm than good. Then, too, there is yet to be ex plained that one term plank in the Baltimore platform. William Jennings Bryan was the author of that para graph, and when he accepted the nomination President Wilson sub scribed to it. It would be interesting indeed to hear from the Secretary of State just what he meant when he wrote it and how, under present con ditions, It Is to be interpreted. f EVENING CHAT 1 The Pennsylvania State Educational Association, which began its sixty-lifth annual meeting In Harrisburg to-day, is one of the oldest organizations in the State and has a notable record of regu lar meetings. Few organizations of the kind in the country can show anything like it. For years the organization met in the summer time, but lately it has been meetinK in holiday week, the ses sion preceding a legislative meeting being held in Harrisburft. Last year it met in Pittsburgh and this is interest ing because the first meeting was held in Harrisburg in 1852 and the next meeting in Pittsburgh. Thomas Henry Kurrowes. later Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, was its first 'president. John H. Brown was elected president next year in Pittsburgh. After Pitts burgh tho association met in Lancas ter, Pottsvllle, Lewistown, Philadelphia, Williamsport, Harrisburg, Chambers burg, Indiana, Scranton and West Chester. In 1860 it met in Greens burg and next year in Lewisburg. In 18IS2 it is stated no meeting was held because of "threatened invasion by Confederate army." but next year at Heading eighty enrolled and the name of Henry Houck appears as a secre tary. In 1564 the association met at Altoona, electing S. D. Ingram, of Har risburg. as president. Then came meetings at Meadville, Gettysburg, Bellefonte, Allentown, Greensburg again and in 1870 Lancaster. Williamsport was next year and at Philadelphia in 1872 Henry Houck became president. Georsre P. Hays was elected president at Pittsburgh next year. Next meet ings were held at Shippensburg, Wllkes-Barre. West Chester, Erie and Reading, the 1879 meeting being merged with the national association in Philadelphia. In the eighties the meetings were in York. Washington, Pottsville, Williamsport, Meadville, Harrisburg, Allentown. Clearfield, Scranton and Altoona. In the nine ties meetings were held at Mauch Chunk, Bedford, Beaver Falls, Media, Mount Gretna. Bloomsburg, New Castle. Bellefonte in the Spanish war year, when Dr. Brumbaugh was elected president, and Gettysburg. In 18!>3 the Columbian Exposition took the place of the annual meeting. Begin ning with 1000 meetings have been held as follows: Williamsport, Phila delphia, Pittsburgh. Witkes-Barre, Reading, Altoona, Greensburg, State College, Bethlehem, Erie, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and here again. Recent presidents have been J. George Becht, F. W. Rob bins, C. A. Herrick, Charles Ix>se, Charles S. Foos. J. B. Ritchey. R. B. fietrick, L. E. McGinnes and Samuel Andrfcws. A subject which will probably at tract much attention at the meeting of the educators and which will interest many residents of this vicinity is voca tional education. This lino of work includes industrial and agricultural training, two of the most important topics that teachers can be concerned with these days. In this city tech nical training is now established, but there is a great untouched field in such a railroad and manufacturing center as Harrisburg and the time that the school is not in use by the regular pupils could profitably be used for other classes. In this eountv there are several township high schools, which, with proper encouragement, could introduce agricultural courses and be of great value to the pro ductiveness of Dauphin county. This interesting bit of news about a man well known to many Harrisburg ers was published In the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin last night: "Former Governor Stuart is sixty-one years old. He left his home in Overbrook for his | office here before 9 o'clock and among the first to offer congratulations was his friend and neighbor, Francis Shunk Brown, who rode in to Broad Street Station with Mr. Stuart. The former Governor, a picture of health, was a trifle late in reaching his office. Friends who kept the date in mind stopped him and he was overwhelmed with good wishes. The former Gov ernor has not aged in appearance since he left Harrisburg and he said he. was feeling as 'fit as a fiddle.' Asked the secret of his splendid phys ical condition, the former Governor said he had been busy since he was fourteen years old and that he takes plenty of exercise in the open air. Formerly he walked from his home at Broad and Tasker streets to his place of business on Ninth street. Since his removal to Overbrook he walks from Broad Street Station to the Union League and then to his office, walking back in the afternoon." The Legislature which will meet at the Capitol a week hence will be the one hundred and twenty-first in the history of Pennsylvania, although only those sessions from 1812 on have been held in Harrisburg. The thirtv-seventh was the first to be held In this city meeting soon after the bill to transfer the seat of government from Lancaster to Harrisburg had been put into effect In the year of the second war with Great Britain. 1 WELL KNOWN PEOPLE "1 —Barry Pain.

HARRISBURG J TELEGRAPH CLUB PLANS FOR A GREAT TURNOUT Harrisburg Republican Club Mem bers Gather to Put Down Their Names as Marchers WILL BE IN INAUGURAL Speakership Candidates Are Open ing Headquarters Here For the Caucuses I Members of the Harrisburg Repub lican Club, the city's oldest Republi can organization, rallied to their tra ' ditions last night when they deter mined to turn out one of the largest marching squads In the history of the club for the inauguration of Dr. fllar tin G. Brumbaugh as Governor. The club has been a figure In every Inaugu ral parade since It was formed and it will outdo itself. The annual meeting of the club was held last night and E. M. Householder, one of the old-time members, was elected president without opposition, while Ashton D. Peace was re-elected secretary for the tenth or eleventh time. Charles K. Hess was elected vice-president and Fred M. Trltle treasurer. Charles Tress, Herman Geiger and George 15. Nebinger were elected trustees, and W. D. Block. Jo soph Bomgardner, George W. Vint, Norman Callendar and \Y. A. Adams to the membership committee. President Householder appointed the following committees:. Finance—D. E. Keister, L. K. Metz ger and James Thompson. Entertainment—William Pavord, E. L. Fry, George W. Vint, Frank Hoff man and 11. Eisenberger. —The proposition to take part in the Inaugural parade attracted much attention from the members present and orders for the new uniforms were handed out rapidly. The coats will be furnished by Bowman & Co. and De cember 31 is the last day for measure ment. The secretary will be at the club each evening to give out orders for the uniforms. —New Year's Day appears to be the day set for the opening of headquar ters for speakership candidates.

Ambler, of Montgomery county, scored yester day with the first formal indorsement from any county delegation on the speakership when the three Represen tatives from Chester county, Samuel A. Whitaker, Maris H. Hollingswortli and Charles P. Greenwood, adopted resolutions pledging him their undi vided suppoct. The resolutions set forth that they are impressed with the belief that Mr. Ambler possesses the proper qualifications to preside fairly and impartially" and that "through his legislative record he has stood by those policies which the Re publicans of Chester county have re peatedly declared for, and for those policies which were adyocated in the j personal platform of Governor-elect Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh." —lnsurance Commissioner Charles Johnson yesterday predicted Mr. Ant bler's election, and will head a delega tion of Montgomery county Republi cans that will come here in his behalf. They have opened Ambler headquar ters in the Harrison Building in Phila delphia, and will hold forth in the Commonwealth Hotel beginning next Saturday. —Representative Richard J. Bald win, of Delaware county, called on Governor-elect Brumbaugh yesterday and afterwards said he believed he will l?e elected Speaker. —The Philadelphia Press to-day says: "Senator Charles H. Kline, of Pittsburgh, Speaker pro tem. of the Senate; County Chairman Walter M. Christy, of Allegheny county, and other Western Republicans, have ex pressed a desire to arrange for a con ference with Dr. Brumbaugh to talk over the legislative needs of the west ern part of the State. The Governor elect not only gave them a friendly ear to the suggestion, but went a step further than he was asked to go. lie took the position that it would be easier for him to go to Pittsburgh than to have a group of Pittsburghers come all the way to Philadelphia, and he therefore arranged to visit the western metropolis of the State to morrow."

The speaker Is a very eminent authority. Ho says; "Your advertising if it is advertising worthy of the name is your best salesman, and you don't hesitate to lay it oft indefinitely because business was bad yesterday. "Your advertising Is a bigger factor in your business than your location— and you'll move It down a back street or wipe your advertising location off the city map because you're not feeling right to-djiy. "Your advertising is the big sign over your door and you'll take It down and store It in the cellar; your advertising Is your most profitable and most econo mical tax for insurance agalnKt loss, and yet you'll lightly 'SAVE' God save the mark!— that expense for a few days If your dinner or business condi tions don't exactly suit you. "Advertising is a great force in business and many great and many foolish claims arc made for It, but it is not greater, nor more powerful than anv other factor of your business. It can't I do the Impossible. If you ex pect to get any good from it you must keop It 'on the Job;' make | It work while you sleep."
