HARRISBURG (lS|& TELEGRAPH
SO C I A L
DR. 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."

Much of Interest in
the Central High Notes
Beginning last evening the Junior
Boys' Glee Club met for practice on
Monday. 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

ting. A buffet lunch was served to
