High School Discussion Among the sectional meetings of most interest was the round table con ference and discussion on the "Stand lard High School." The question, "What Shall the Standard .High School !l'.e, a Six-year School, an Academic ! School, a Manual Training or a Coni- I posite High School?" brought forth la. lively discussion by members for land against each item in question, j In considering the standard of ] preparation that should be set up for high school teachers, the majority of opinions indicated that a short course lin direct preparation for teaching should be required, no matter what umoiint of general academic training the applicant had. In the department of manual arts meeting, J. 1'". Rees, instructor of | mechanical drawing in Harrisburg l Tech High School, led a discussion, j Miss Eva Stoner, supervisor of draw ing in the Steelton schools, spoke on "How to Make the Study of Arts More Valuable in the Graded School." What Townships Need At the meeting of the township schools department. Professor George , I'. Dunkelberger, of Oberlin, read a | paper on the shortcomings of the ! country school, emphasizing the need of trained school directors as well as efficient teachers. The closing address was made by Deputy State Superin tendent Teitrick, on "The Ideal Rural School and Its Equipment." He said the ideal country school should have good location, full equipment, a usable I library, a sewing machine, apparatus I' for work in elementary domestic sci ence and appliances for teaching ele mentary physics and chemistry. Tells of Arkansas Schools The last speaker on the program yesterday afternoon was Dr. W. E. flalbrook, of Choctaw, Ark., who spoke on the subject, "Training Rural I Boys and Girls in Systematic Activi ties." The Choctaw educator gripped the crowd with his novel and forceful I talk about conditions in his backwoods | school districts in the oot. of the Ozark mountains in Arkansas. lie | told of many of the rude things he in list contend with and the rough life I lie leads in his efforts to rouse the people from their lethargy and oppo sition to many points of education. I The meeting of the general sessions !last night was well attended. Three ; lengthy addresses on the program i were interspersed and relieved by a male quartet und several violin solos Iby Miss Janet Mcllroy, of McKees l>ort. The annual address of President Robert C. Shaw, of Greensburg, was a general review of elementary and high school conditions, showing the virtues and the shortcomings of the educational system of this country. He gave statistics to show the actual money vuluc of education, comparing one boy who quit school early and learned a trade, with another who got a technical training. He pointed out that although the first boy developed Ills earning capacity when very young, he was soon outstripped when the oth er finished his school. At the age of 25 years the technical trained man had earned ?ti,812, and the man who stopped school in the lower grade had earned a total of S4,Slfi2. Dr. Shaw said that of the total num ber of children in the United States who enter school, only 3.14 per cent, reach the high school. The conclu sion of his talk was a tribute to the "clod of a rough country bo.v," whose latent possibilities might be developed by proper education to unlimited pow ers. Dr. Lewis W. Rapeer, of State Col lege, read a paper on "The Standard Rural School Plant." He spoke of ,the proper equipment of school build ings and the necessary furnishings and appliances of teaching in the country districts. Rural schools he said should be developed into social centers with libraries, lecture halls and attractions for sociable gatherings as well as fa cilities for practical instruction in agriculture to all members of the com munity. The address o* Dr. W. C. Bagley, of the university of Illinois, on "Edu cational Values" was a well-delivered decisive rapid-fire lecture with many points of humor that compelled atten tion. In speaking on the efficiency of education, the speaker said It cannot be measured in the same way as en gineering efficiency, because there are so many uncertain elements to influ ence results. Concerning the public school system he said, "With all its shortcomings it is doubtless the greatest educational system in the world to-day." CITIES' LEAGUE KILLS POLICE HUT [Continued From First Page] cities to erect, maintain and operate municipal boat and bath houses. Office Tenure Referred To a committee consisting of F. P. Schoonmaker. Bradford: James A. Gardner. New Castle, and Thomas C. Hare, Altoona, was referred the jot of redrafting an amendment relative to fixing the tenure of councilmen and mayor at four instead of two years. The question of when the proposed recommendation should take effect made necessary the postponement of action on this measure this morning. The committee will submit the change late this afternoon. The amendment requiring lawyers, physicians and other professional men to pay an annual license tax of SIOO was stricken out. The so-called "wel fare" clause was amended by Axing ninety instead of thirty days as a pen alty for violating city regulations. Amendments dealing with the initiative and referendum, regulation of tax levy and the elimination of the smoke nuisance were taken up this afternoon. Harrisburg Heard Prom Ilarrisburg officialdom was repre sented by Mayor John K. Royal, City Commissioners W. 11. Lynch,. M. Har vey Taylor and Harry F. Bowman, City Solicitor D. S. Seltz, City Clerk Charles A. Miller and Assistant City Clerk R. R. Seaman. Furthermore, the Capital City delegation was heard from. ' One of the more important amend ments. the portion of a section making it optional instead of mandatory for a council to advertise for bids for mu nicipal work or materials, was re tained upon motion of City Clerk Mil ler. The effect of the amendment will be to give the councilmen a chance to determine whether or not they shall advertise for bids or whether they can obtain prices regardless of bids or even do the work themselves. Inci dentally the action will serve to make the bidders keep down their figures. Of course Harrisburg's delegation got into the discussion relative to the designation of the police chief by the mayor. Mayor Stratton, of Reading, who led the light to have the amendment re tained. Said lie believed that the may or's job was entirely different from the other commissioners' in that he had peculiar responsibilities relative to the safety of the city. For that reason, he said, he thinks the mayor should ha"ve the right to designate his own chief, captain, lieutenants, etc., of police. Mayor Wants Appointive Power Mayor Royal said he emphatically agreed with the Reading magistrate— and then he conferred with the others of the Ilarrisburg delegation upon the question of voting. Mayor Royal served all day as the voting spokes man for the city delegation. Commis sioners Lynch. Bowman and Taylor were opposed to the amendment and wanted Harrisburg recorded as voting to strike it out. "Personally." said the Mayor. "I am for the retaining of the amendment, but the majority of the delegation is opposed to it, so on behalf of Ilarris burg I vote 'aye'." When the question of the term of office for mayor and eouneihnen was before the convention Mayor Uoyal suggested that the proposed four-year amendment go into effect for mayors after January, 1316.
