LOAN'S PASSING
PLEASES ALL
City at Last Can Give Proper
Educational Advantages
to Children
Both A. Carson Stamm, president of
the School Board, and J. Horace
McFarland, chairman of the Chamber
of Commerce committee which con
ducted the propaganda for boostipg
new high school loan, to-day ex
pressed keen satisfaction at the way
Harrisburg solved the high school
problem.
"The School Board construes the
vote as an expression of confidence,"
declared President Stamm. "The
money will be borrowed only as nooded
and the board will expect to spend it
as wisely and economically as any
business man would spend it in his
own personal enterprise.
"The success of the loan is a great
thing for the girls and boys of Har
risburg. The Chamber of Commerce
and its i-pecial committee having
charge of the propaganda for the loan
deserve great credit and high con
gratulation. The Rotary Club, the
Civic Club, the Municipal League, the
newspapers, the newsboys, the stu
all the newspapers—well, I shan't try
to name all who helped, but I hope
someday even those who couldn't see
their way clear to vote 'Yes' will be
glad the loan has been authorized."

From Mr. McFarland
J. Horace McFarland, chairman of
the Chamber of Commerce committee
■which conducted the school loan cam
paign, expressed his keen satisfaction
at the passage of the school loan in a
brief interview just before his de
parture for Pittsburgh. Said Mr.
McFarland:
"The result of the school loan cam
paign is just another evidence of the
intelligence and discrimination of Har
risburg's voting population. The voters
were supplied with the actual, plain
truth, and they voted right in conse
quence.
Campaign of Education
"It was a campaign of education,
suroly. The newspapers did every
thing to set forth the facts. Many of
the pulpits of the city justified anew
the city's support of the churches in
tax remission by the sermons preached.
"The business men, particularly
those of the Rotary Club and the
Chamber of Commerce, were active
missionaries of truth.
Commends Pnpils
"The high school pupils did great
work for their fellow-pupils of the
lower schools and much of the ma
jority is due to their parade and their
individual efforts.
"But most of all do I see satisfaction
in the steady march of the city. We
have been doing things for ourselves,
advanced things, for fifteen years, and
now we add school advance to our
parks and filtration, to our sewers and
paving and water front. Probably few
voters have realized that old Harris
burg is far ahead of any city in Penn
sylvania in her economical, intelligent
and successful attention to the best
living conditions.
Not Picayunisli
"What a triumph the loan vote is
for the idea of expert service, the best
for the money! We have asked those
who know what we ought to do for
our boys and girls, and now we are go
ing to do It. We have the price, and
te're not picayunish or piffling—the
egt is good for us!
"The School Board has had a vote
of confidence to which I am sure it
will react. A new day in education is
dawning for Harrisburg. The people
are welcomed in the counsels of the
school directors. An advisory com
mittee of able men will sit with our
elected representatives. We will get a
hundred cents worth of better school
facilities for every dollar of that loan."

NOTHING IS SO
BAD FOR A COUGH
AS COUGHING
Coughing is like scratching a wound;
as long as it Is done It will not heal.
When tempted to cougli, draw a long
breath through the nostrils; hold It
until It warms the air cells. The nitro
gen thus refined allays the desire to
cough and gives the throat and lungs
a chance to heal. The use of Wonder
oil will aid nature In her efforts to
throw off the cough or cold.

j What Is Vocational Education? |
Vocational education means a
chance for tho underdog. It means
a botter place in the sun for the man
in the street, the man in overalls. It
means beefsteak instead of beef-stew.
How? By making the schools servo
the majority of our children as ef
ficiently as they now serve tho min
ority, Vocational education recog
nizes that there are rich and poor,
that there are classes In America, and
pleads for better educational facili
ties for the children of tho masses.
The advocate of vocational educa
tion believes that the boy who leaves
school at fourteen to go to work is
entitled to get help from the Stute to
find himself both as a worker and a
citizen. The State, tho Community
helps the boy who wants to become
a physician or a lawyer of a minister.
That boy is In the minority. It has
institutions where such a boy can
get that learning at the expense of
the community or large at the ex
peense of the community. Now, why
should not the child of the laborer,
who is in tho great majority, and
whose calling is to be a mason, or a
carpenter, or a baker, get the help of
the State In the mastering of his oc
cupation? If the State trains doctors.
PIG IRON MAKES
SHARP ADVANCES
Increase in Cost Did Not Check
but Stimulated Buying; Prices
Are Confusing
The pig iron market shows a con
tinuance of the excited conditions of
the past two weeks, with further sharp
advances in price. At the same time
the action of steel products has con
firmed the predictions of higher prices
and of full occupation of the mills
throughout 1917. October pig Iron
output exceeded all expectations.
Many records were broken.
In summarizing the situation, the
Iron Age of to-day, says: "In the
present condition of the pig iron mar
ket the great production last month
was highly opportune. Nothing like
it is to be looked for as winter comes
on and car troubles increase. Our es
timate of November 1 capacity, based
on average furnace performance, is
108,622 tons a day for 326 furnaces,
against 106,578 tons a day for >328
furnaces on October 1. Allowing 400,-
000 tons a year for charcoal iron, the
October output represents a yearly
rate of no less than 41,700,000 tons.
"The political tension of the week
and the closeness of the election have
apparently had no effect on the buying
of iron and steel. Probably no week
before a national election has shown
more activity in those markets.
"Last week's sensational advances in
pig iron did not check but rather
stimulated buying, but the market Is
In confusion over wide variations in
prices and the withdrawal of a good
many sellers, particularly on business
for the second half of 1917.
"Car orders are growing as prices
rise. In the past three weeks fully
3 6,000 cars have been placed and
builders are now beginning to choose
between offers, being well booked for
the first half of next year and on tank
cars for all of 1917.
"There is nothing new as to shell
steel contracts for the second half of
1917. Two large steel companies are
believed to have closed recently for
considerable amounts, and the situa
tion is that on some hundreds of thou
sands of tons of rounds and forging
billets that must be bought there will
be no particular higgling over the
price.
"In cast iron pipe an advance of $3
to $4 a ton is imminent, following the
upward movement in pig iron. Chi
cago is about to contract for 18,000
tons."
