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

employ at least one hundred teachers
in 1916 and I am sure that January
will see at least 75 per cent, of the
working children under sixteen in that
city attending *?ontinuation classes.
"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.

; 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

j about $30,000.
