BECHT SPEAKS ON AMERICANISM Citizens Must Learn That Their Liberty Must Be Liberty Under the Law "The new American spirit stands not for the elimination of whatever has not been produced on American soil, but rather welcomes the best of the culture, the arts and the crafts of the old world, that through the process of education and training these may be incorporated into our life and thus we may be enriched with this spiritual in heritance—the spirit speaking out from the great heart of humanity." Dr. J. George Becht, secretary of the State Board of Education, in his dis cussion of "Americanism" before the Harrisburg Civic Club yesterday after noon also said "Every third person in the United States is either foreign born or of foreign parentage" and that tlfty different languages are spoken by this alien folk. Over a thousand news papers in the United States are printed in thirty-one languages other than English, and while they are American in spirit, their chief items are news of the Fatherland, keeping the alien in touch and sympathy with his native land. * • , ' The adult foreigner must be pre pared for citizenship no less than his children and even greater is his neces sity for special training. The school for the adult is becoming to be as much a part of public education as the school for the child. We are learning that every recitation constitutes a les son in citizenship and that there is an arithmetic of character, a geography of character, as well as the ethics of character. There is no branch of study that will not lend itself to training for civic righteousness and civic efficiency. Children must be helped to think through the problems of the com munity and the relationships of the individual to the social group to which he belongs as well as to the civic center, and the alien as well as the native American needs to be instructed in the limitations of liberty. He must learn that his liberty must be liberty under the law. "The problem of democracy is 'How to utilize without waste the tremen dously potent forces of human life that are everywhere about us'." Afterward the question of bread weighing was presented by City Sealer Harry D. Reel and at the close Mrs. William Henderson, president of the Civic Club, asked suggestions from members for the bettering of the club in any way to be sent her by mail. First Annual Dinner of the Commonweal Club The first annual dinner of the Com monweal Club was held 'last evening in the T. W C. A. wfth over a hundred in attendance. Miss Edna S. Kugler, the president, presided and Miss Ella \ost led the singing. The toastmis tiess was Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones. Miss Mary Snyder spoke on "The Commonweal—What It Should Mean To Us"; Miss Rachel Staples spoke on "Our Open Door"; Mrs. Jones on "Loyalty to Our Club" and Miss Svl vania Nagle on "The Clubs of the Y. W. C. A." Following the dinner. Deputy At torney General Emerson Collins lec tured on "The War as We See It Now." Mr. Collins said: "This war has robbed militarism of all its ro mance and glamor. The general no longer rides at the head of the column [and leads his troops to victory. In stead of a one-man control, the army lis directed by a staff miles away in a central position and with telephones, telegraph and wireless orders are con veyed. The airship is chiefly respons ible for this change. Napoleon was able to surprise the enemy again and again and gain his victories but that (Cannot be done now for each com {batant has a fleet of airships and | movements on both sides are always i known. The question of to-day fs [which side will hold out the longest, j which is willing to give man for man. Effective peace must be just. When ithe victor demands unfair returns, there will only remain rancor and hate and the vanquished will remain quiet only long enough to gather suf ficient strength to assert themselves again."

The Senior Boys' Club prac tice evening has been changed to Tuesday. This will be a permanent change, as other activities concern ing the school will then harmonize as well as possible considering condi tions which exist. Prof. E. G. Rose directs both of these musical organiz- i ations, as well as the girls' clubs, and I they arc making rapid progress. The | Junior Boys' Glee Club numbers about; eighteen students and last evening's | practice was most successful. They j are trying various difficult numbers, | including many classical selections, | that are especially adapted to male! voices. The Mandolin Club met last even- ' ing for practice at the home of Ken- j neth Downes, 1811 North Second street. Paul Selsam, Leon Simonetti, ; Emory Harttnan, Blair Smith, Elwood \ Deppen, Kenneth Downes, and oth ers attended. President Blair E. Smith, of the Centralians, states the next meeting will be held on Thursday, January 25 at the home of George Pavord, 1514 State street. The secretary requests every member to help him have a per fect rollcali as many important mat ters will be brought up, one of the minor ones even being the election of officers for the coming Centralian term. The Rho Section is still leading in the contributions for the City Library Life Membership Fund. There is speculation as to whether the Seniors are going to allow this Junior section to lead them continually. The Central High five defeating thS Harrisburg Academy quintet last Fri day was composed of men who were all on the 'varsity football squad this j Fall. Chances are that if they keep ] playing at the speed displayed last week, Blue and Gray fans will have the pleasure of cheering another championship team and with familiar faces at the different positions. The Academy game was the first on High School's schedule. Rumors are afloat among several musicians at Central of a new orches tra springing up, perhaps under the name of the Blue and Gray. In case this should happen the new organiza tion would probably be under strictly student government, and as there are quite a number of talented musicians at Central now that are not in any organization a new orchestra would probably be very successful as well as efficient. GUESTS OF MRS. HALLIWELL Members of the F. E. Embroidery Club enjoyed a pleasant time Friday evening with Mrs. J. L. Halliwell, 2552 Agate street, as hostess.
