GOVERNOR GIVES STATE PRAISES Says That Child Labor Law; Has Been Received in the Proper Spirit This Year CARED FOR Large Cities Are Co-operating j in the Movement to Provide ; the Facilities Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh to- I day leaned a statement commending j the attitude of the educational authori ties of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh as well as other cities of the State for their co-operation In arranging for en forcement of the child labor law con tinuation school features and praising Ihe spirit of the employers in their dealings with the officials in charse. The Governor's statement was made nftar he had heard in detail from officials who have been meeting em ployers on the subject and he especially < ommends those who have agreed to establish continuation schools without delay when the law becomes effeotive on January 1 next. The Governor's statement in full Is as follows: "Reports made to me by the State Departments of Public Instruction and ].abor and Industry, which are co operating to obtain the establishment of continuation schools, Indicate that nt least three-quarters of the children now working in this State will be pro vided with continuation school facili ties next January when the new child labor act goes into effect. •'ln every industrial community in this State active steps are being taken 1 o establish continuation classes. Every boy or girl under 16 years of age employed after January 1 next must attend one of these classes at least eight hours a week. "I am especially pleased with the attitude which employers of children senerally have assumed. I am in formed that wherever the school men have gone to places of business per sonally ar.d talked with employers, ex plaining to them the benefits which would accrue both to them and to their young employes under this child labor law, that they have expressed a •willingness to meet all its provisions. In fart, some firms which had ex pressed themselves as opposed to the new law have agreed to furnish space 1n their establishments for conducting continuation classes, and a few have even agreed to pay the teachers. "I sm particularly pleased with the manner in which the situation lias been handled in Philadelphia, four distinct steps have been taken by the board of education in that city. "In the first place, an associate su perintendent of schools was elected, ivhose duty It is to arrange for the establishment of continuation schools. "Next, the Bureau of Compulsory Education was reorganized. Ten branch offices have been established throughout the city for the issuance of •mployment certificates, the physics' examination of children and as head quarters for the compulsory attend ance officers. Tn addition to this these branch offices will also do work along the line of vocational guidance by en deavoring to find places for children desiring to work and of finding em ployes for firms desiring to hire chil dren under sixteen. "Third, the board has under consid eration the salary schedule for teach ers in the continuation schools. It is lha intention to pay teachers in these " lasses from one to two hundred dol lars more a year than will be paid to the regular grade teachers. "Fourth, the board has adopted a general policy of endeavoring to open as rapidly as possible, after January 1, continuation classes for all those re ceiving employment certificates and entering upon employment at that time, and all the additional classes needed in the regions where the num ber of children now employed is great est. In addition, as rapidly as possible the schools already established in busi ness and industrial plants will be taken over by the board. "The Philadelphia board expects to * j j FOR A BAD COUGH ! f • * Here is a fine old-fashioned i ireclpr for coughs, colds or ca- I tarrh trouble that has been used » for many years with great • success.

"In Pittsburgh a complete canvass of the city has been made to ascertain the number of children in employ ment. Provision has been made for the establishment of schools or classes in various sections of the city. I would not be surprised to see every working child in Pittsburgh attending con tinuation classes with the beginning of the new year. "In Bethlehem the high school will be used to house the continuation classes. The regular classes adjourn early and the continuation classes will have full use of the school building from 3 to 5 every afternoon. "The school authorities of Reading are at present interviewing manufac turers on the subject of organizing | continuation schools. Dr. Foos. super intendent of schools, reports that in all these interviews he lias been cor dially received and that the outlook for the success of the schools seems very encouraging. "Complete arrangements for the es tablishment of continuation classes are also being made in Scranton, Wilkes- Barre, Allentown, Johnstown. Altoona, Lebanon, Easton, Beaver Falls, Mauch Chunk, Harrisburg, Williamsport, York, and many smaller communities. "The agents of the Departments of HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Public Instruction and and In- I dustry will visit before January 1 every community in which it is necessary to I establish continuation classes, and 1 am sure the new year will see ready and full compliance with all the pro visions of the new law. "The fact that schools may be con ducted eight hours on one day, or four hours on two days. or. two hours on four days, and that almost any seventh and eighth grade teacher will be able to give the instruction required, has done much to facilitate the establish ment of these schools. "I am Indeed grateful for the splen did spirit of co-operation which has been shown both by the school men and employers of children in their efforts to raise the standard of citizen ship in our glorious Commonwealth." His Satanic Majesty, the Devil, is a favorite character with the German cartoonists, according to Cartoons Mag- I azlne. but the Devil's grandmother Is j supposed to be even more satanlc than i Old Nick himself. Thus, an Austrian cartoonist has the Devil's grandmother asking him why he is fixing himself up so swell. "I'll tell you. Grandma." is the reply: "I'm expecting five kings, a czar, and a president, and when such distinguished company arrives I must present a front." CAMP HILL IN MIDST I OF BUILDING BOOM [ Continued from First Page] $3,000 to $5,000. The buildings are constructed of brick, frame and stucco and all of them have the latest improvements. Some of the new homes have been built on the bungalow plan. Tne others are two and-a-half and three stories with at tractive porches and settings. Almost all of them are built alone, although several have been constructed in pairs. The biggest, operation is in Park eve nue, where seventeen homes are being finished in one section. These houses 1 were started by C. W. Strayer, of ] Lemoyne, but before the work had ; ! progressed very far they were pur-1 ! chased at a bankruptcy sale by A. A. 1 I Thumma, Bretss Bros., Harry Eshel- j I man, Bogar Lumber Company, Allison i Hill Trust Company and the Union i Trust Company. These individuals: and companies are finishing the 1 houses in various styles and they are i among the prettiest in the busy I borough.

During the past few months bun-1 dreds of men have been employed in j the 'cross river-town on the construe-' tion of the new homes in addition to ! ! the many who worked on the Camp I | Hill school building. Several years; ; ago a school building was erected in : such a way that when conditions war- j ranted a big addition could be built. | j This latter was completed recently, i ] making the total cost of the school j about $30,000. i At present too. an addition ts tie- j ling built to the Camp Hill Methodist j i church, crowded conditions there I making the enlarging necessary.
