f MONDAY EVENING, '
SCHOOLS PROSPER
AT MIDDLETOWN
Continuation Classes Doing
Good Work; May Enlarge
Building
Under the efficient direction of
Superintendent H. J. Wickey the pub
lic schools of Middletown are enjoy
ing the most successful term in their
history. A total of 1,154 pupils are
enrolled at present. They are divided
as follows: 115 in the High School;
112 in the Grammar, and the re
mainder in the primary departments.
The Senior class of the High school is
composed of 20 members who graduate
May 26.
In the event of more families mov
ing to Middletown the School Board
will be obliged to provide additional
rooms next Kail as the present build
ings are now taxed to their capacity.
In the Eighth grade there are more
than 50 scholars, the great majority
of whom will be transferred to the
High School at the close of the term.
In accordance with an act passed
last year a continuation school Is be
ing conducted for the benefit of
seventy-live working boys and girls.
The act requires all between the ages
of 14 and It! years who are employed
to go to school-at least eight hours
each week. In Middletown, com
pliance with the act was secured by
having the boys and girls attend school
eight hours a day for five days and
then allowing them to work for four
weeks. This system was found to be
by far the most satisfactory from
every standpoint and is in vogue at
the present time.
The faculty is composed of H. J.
Wickey, superintendent; H. B. Garver,
principal; P. K. Gotwalt, Latin and
German; Miss Kathryn Aumiller,
English, and Miss Marguerite Potter,
music and drawing.

GOVERNOR HOME
FROM BIG TRIP
Civen Ovations in the Capitals
of the Anthracite Region
Counties
Governor Brum
w\\«Tr turned late last
night from his trip
to the heart of the
anthracite Held, de
clared himself de-
I JHnWrNf&tf lighted with the re
i slclHUßjfll- ceptions he had re-
I C eived and the at
tention given to his
speeches on the ne
cessity of being law-abiding In all
emergencies. The Governor was
hailed as the champion of labor in
Scranton when he spoke at the cele
bration of the eight-hour day and in
Wilkes-Barre later in the day he spoke
to a big audience and cautioned people,
no matter what the labor troubles,
not to forget their duty to the State.
"I ask you in the name of the Com
monwealth." he said, "to give yourself
wholly to the patriotic duty of main
taining at all times a peaceful and
law-abiding community. We cannot
for a moment countenance violation
of Iho law and maintain our proper
relations to our country. The public
will is the fundamental law of our
country. That will Is expressed In
terms of constitution and statute. The
faithful and loyal acceptance of law
is our duty. This makes for peace and
progress and prosperity, and in no
other way can we exalt the nation and
dignify ourselves. Each cltl7.cn is a
sworn official of the government, to
that justice and low shall rule."
At Nantlcoke yesterday Governor
Brumbaugh was greeted by 1,600 per
sons. He was received with great en
thusiasm. The Governor was moved
to tears by a song specially written by
Mrs. John Pugh and sung by her son,
Joseph Pugh, aged fourteen. When
the boy had finished the Governor
took him in his arms and hugged him,
and as he did so tears rolled down his
cheeks. The song had touched the
patriotic heartstrings and the audience
was moved to tears at the emotion of
the Governor and words of the song.
The Governor spoke on "Good Citizen
ship" and for almost an hour he urged
his hearers to the bigger, better things
in life.

March up to a high figure. More than
fifty per cent, were cars and rails.

20-Minute Service
to Colonial Club
Planned This Year
Twenty instead of forty-minute
trolley service on the Paxtonia-
Linglestown line of the Harrisburg
Railways Company is assured when
the track and siding extensions con
templated for the year are completed.
Double tracking from Eighteenth
to Twentieth street in State, and
double tracking in Second from Seneca
to Schuylkill, are among the more im
portant Improvements that will be
completed, as early as possible as the
company has planned to begin work
as soon as the weather permits. The
State street track additions however,
will mean a great deal to the thou
sands who travel to Llnglestown and
intermediate points. At present the
track room and sidings permit of
only forty minute service to Lingles
town: this can be cut in half when
the two tracks in State street are ex
tended to Twentieth street and when
an additional siding beyond Progress
is put down. The clipping of twenty
minutes from the Linglestown-Pax
tonia service will be heartily welcomed
by frequenters of the Colonial Coun
try Club who have been trying for
several years to obtain speedier serv
ice.
If Penbrook's main street is paved
this year <he chances are that 800 feet
of double track will be put down in
that borough and this would make a
further cut in the time service on
these lines.
The five new cars ordered by the
company have been ordered and are
expected here about June or July.

to overflowing, many sitting in the
choir loft. Before the administration
of the sacrament eighty-five new mem

emphasis upon the ethical significance
of the service, was followed through

the theme "Shut In of Jehovah" was

ZEPPELINS IN RAIDS
DO HEAVY DAMAGE
[Continued From first Pa*?e.]
dimmed for several hours. The Zeppe
lins were about from 9 p. m. until
after 1 a. m.
The Zeppelin which visited the east
coast of Scotland last night hung over
the district for forty-flve minutes, dur
ing which time twenty bombs were
dropped. No further details from that
district have yet been announced.
A Zeppelin which appeared over a
northeastern county yesterday evening
remained about an hour and a half,
but, as far as at present ascertainable,
dropped only twenty bombs over a
considerable area, largely agricultural.
Berlin Claims Heavy Loss
The official German account of Sat
urday night's Zeppelin raid over Eng
land follows:
'"During the night of April 1-2 naval
airships renewed the attack on the
east coast of England. For q, period
of one and one-half hours explosive
and incendiary bombs were thrown on
blast furnaces, large iron works and
industrial establishments on the south
bank of the Tees and on the ports of
Middlesburg and Sunderland. Large
explosions, fires and demolitions were
caused and the successful effects of
the attack were clearly noticeable.
"Notwithstanding heavy shelling of
our airships, they suffered neither
losses nor damages."
16 Dead; 100 Hurt
At least sixteen persons were killed
and about 100 others injured by the
explosion of bombs dropped by a Zep
pelin over the northeast coast of Eng
land Saturday night. An official ac
count of this raid, issued last evening,
said:
"Two airships approached the north
east coast Saturday night. Only one
crossed the coast. The other turned
back.
"For the present, we know that six
teen persons were killed and about 100
injured.
"Eight dwelling houses were demol
ished and a serious fire was caused in
a French polishing shop."
Further details are reported by a
correspondent in a northeast coast
town who says the Zeppelin was
sighted there at 11 o'clock Saturday
night. It dropped fourteen explosive
and seven incendiary bombs. Ten
men, three women and three children
were killed and twenty-five persons
were seriously Injured. In addition
about eighty others received minor in
juries.
A tramcar inspector was killed and
a woman tram conductor had suffered
the loss of a leg blown off. Several
"houses were wrecked in one street.
One house was demolished, but the
family of five escaped without serious
injury.
Death List Grows
An official communication also given
out summarized the results of Friday
night's attack by Zeppelins as follows:
"The total casualties reported in the
Zeppelin raid on the night of March
31-Aprll 1 now amount to 43 killed
and 66 injured. Nearly 200 explosive
and incendiary bombs were dropped.
"A Baptist chapel, three dwelling
houses and two cottages were demol
ished. A town hall, foui dwelling
houses, 35 cottages and a tramcar
shed were partly wrecked. There was
no military damage.
"A number of our aeroplanes went,
up to attack the raiders. Lieutenant
Brandon. Royal Flying Corps, rising
6,000 feet, saw .a Zeppelin about 3,000
feet above him. At 9,000 feet he got
over it and attacked, dropping sev
eral bombs, three of which he believes
took effect.
"Later he got over the airship again
and let two more bombs over her nose.
His own machine was hit many times
by machine gun bullets. This may
have been the Zeppelin which dropped
a machine gun, ammunition, a petrol
tank and machinery, or possibly that
which came down off the Thames
estuary."

THIS DOUBLE CROSS
lly Wing Dinger
Last Fall I went out a huntin".
For two weeks to it I stuck
Every day, but all in vain, bo.
Didn't see one single duck.
Yesterday, the season ended,
On the river, close to shore
I saw wild ducks by the thousands,
More than I'd e'er seen before.
Legislators think they're wise ones
When closed seasons they impose
On wild game, but even shrewder
Are the wild birds, goodness knows.
Seems they know when they can be
killed.
And when that time comes around
They sneak oft and hide themselves, bo.
Where they never will be found.
