years, who operated a litle farm near
Roxbury, in Letterkenny township, ex
pressed an opinion that it would be
better If he would end his troubles,
fancied and real, by committing sui
cide. Neighbors argued with the man
and it was thought that they had per
suaded him from doing such a rash
act. But Sanderson went to his bed
room on Satifrday, tied a string to the
trigger of his single-barrel shotgun,
tied the other end to his toe, sat down,
placed the muzzle to his left breast,
pulled the string and a big gaping
wound was torn through his breast.
Sanderson had been married twice, both
wives being dead. He lived with his
11-year-old stepson.

HIGH PRAISE FOR
ITTNER SCHOOLS
Steel Town Has Tried Revolu
tionary Educational Expcri
z men Is With Success
Gary, the great steel town not many
miles from Chicago, established some
years ago by the United States Steel
Corporation, is Interesting to Harris
burg because of the increasingly im
portant relation to a similar proxim
ity.
Gary is also interesting because in
it have been tried educational experi
ments of the most revolutionary and
far-reaching character. William Wirt,
the superintendent of the Gary public
schools, has worked out plans for
school operation which have been found
so significant and Important that the
city of New York has retained him to
put into trial effect some of the same
methods, looking toward an eventual
change.
Humanitarian Methods
Mr. Wirt's methods are distinctly hu
manitarian. To accomplish them he
required schoolbuildings of the high
est utility. That is, the old-fashion- c
ed and ordinary school such as has 1
characterized Harrisburg for genera- t
tions, could not have been used for the f
Gary work. It was natural, therefore, >
that Mr. Wirt should turn to the man i
who has ' made St. Louijs famous by s
reason of the quality of its school t
buildings, and ask him to design the I
Gary schools.
It ought to be explained that in such 'j
schools as are operated under Mr. .
Wirt's methods outside appearance is 1
of far less importance than economy (
of space, completeness of equipment, (
perfection of heating and ventilation,
and the broadest possible provision for ,
the welfare of the scholars.
It was this sort of schools that Mr.
Wirt found in St. Louis, and the Board .
of Education in that city therefore ar
ranged with William B. Ittner to de
sign its new schools nine years ago, j
and' he has continued since in a close
relation to these schools.
March 15, 1917.
Mr. J. Horace MacFarland,
Municipal League of Harrisburg,
v Harrisburg, Pa.:
Dear Sir —
Mr. Ittner's work in Gary lias
been entirely satisfactory during
the entire time of his employment, '
extending over the past nine years. '
He has initiative and is excep
tionally resourceful In suggestions
as well as carrying out the pur- 1
poses that the executives at the ]
school system have in miny in the '
construction of the buildihg.
Sincerely yours! :
WILLIAM WIRT,
Supt. of .Schools.
M skills Additional Plana
The telegram below from George 51.
Hunter, president of the Gary School
Board, shows that not only has Mr. Itt
ner been employed for nine years, but
is now working on plans for two ad
ditional buildings.
That Harrisburg has not had the best
in educational facilities Is well known.
That it ought to have, all would agree.
That it can have, if advantage is taken
of the experience of other cities, 1B
certain. Schools of as good quality
as Is the filtration and park work and
faving and general engineering of
larrisburg are duo the people. These |
schools can be had upon expert ad
vice. They cannot be had by a con
tinuance of the methods under which
our schools have not attained the ef
ficiency due to our people.
The special committee of the School
Board has acted wisely in recommend
ing for the carrying out of the new
program the school architect whose
work has been found so exceedingly
satisfactory in many American cities.
February 9, 1917.
A. C. Stamm,
President. Board of Education,
Harrisburg, Pa.
Mr. Ittner has been architect for
Gary the past nine years, and at
present is completing plans for
two additional buildings. Consider
him one of the best school archi
tects in the country.
GEORGE M. HUNTER,
President Gary School Board.

them home, kills and butchers them.
In all these long years he has bought,
butchered and sold thousands of tons
of meat, and has seen the price of beef
on the hoof, live weight, advance from
*3O per steer to the present price of
from S9O to $l5O each.

West Fairview Will Let
State Build Borough Street
West Fairview, Pa., April 3.—Council
last night passed on second reading the
ordinance authorizing the installation
of ten fireplugs in the borough. Up
to the present time there has been
considerable trouble with this ordi
nance, on account of the members of'
the body being deadlocked. Last night
the measure went through without any
opposition, and it is probable will pass
at the next meeting.
Council decided not to take charge
of building the street through the bor
ough and to give the supervision of the
work to the State. Work on building
this street was to have been started
last week but was held up pending
council's action. A force of men from
the State will be put to work in a few
days. The borough will stand half the
expense and the State the other half.
An ordinance putting the State traf
fic rules for boroughs into effect was
passed by council.
