HEARTILY PRAISES!
WORK OF ITTNER
Principal of Central High
School, Washington, Strongly
Endorses Architect
Strong endorsement of William B.
Ittner, of St. Louis, selected by ' the
special committee of the School Board"
to design Harrisburg's new buildings,
is given by Principal Emory M. Wil- 1
son, of the Central High School, Wash
ington, D. C., in a letter to J. Horace
McFarland, secretary of the Munlcipaf
League.
The letter follows:
"I am told that the City of Harris
burg is planning to spend over a mil
lion and a quarter on new schoolhouses
and that Mr. William B. Ittner, of
St. Louis, Is being considered as the
architect for the proposed work.
"We have just come into a new
High school, costing with the land a
million and five hundred thousand dol- ,
lars, of which Mr. Inner is the archi- j
tect. You can imagine that we did i
not select Mr. Ittner for this work
without looking pretty carefully into
the work that he had done and into
his general reputation for straightfor- :
ward, businesslike methods. We have .
a building which is the admiration of;
everyone who has seen it. and 1 am .
glad to testify personally that in the
actual administration of the school it j
is proving itself an entirely workable j
plant. We are able to teach school in
it .which, after all. is the purpose fori
which it was constructed.
"It is a great pleasure for me to
commend Mr. Ittner's work. My per
sonal opinion, perhaps, is worth little
when 1 say I consider him the fore- ,
most schoolhouse architect in Amer
ica. but after three years of constant
work with him, perhaps, it may mean
something for me to tell you that I
consider him a high-class gentleman. ;
absolutely straightforward, and busi- I
n esslike in all of his dealings. It;
seems almost unnecessary for ine to .
say that in the specifications of ma- j
terial and in passing on the adequacy
of the work furnished, Mr. Ittner gave
110 undue consideration whatever to
the firms that were supplying the ma
terial but was the jealous guardian
of the interests of the city whicK was
employing him. 1
"If the city of Harrisburg is for
tunate enough to secure his services,
it will get, in my judgment, not only
the leading expert in his line but will
have delivered exactly what it pays
for.
"EMORY M. WILSON
"This Central high school opened a
new world of educational possibility
to me. I did not know that any com
munity had gone so far in taking
care of the production of good citi
zens at the same time that boys were
being educated." J. Horace McFar
land, secretary of the Municipal
League, enthusiastically stated on his
return from Washington, where he
carefully inspected one of the most
recent of William B. Ittner's build
ings.
Mr. Ittner has been selected by the
special committee of the School Board
to design Harrisbtirg's new high
schools.
"A stiff proposition was put up to
the architect by the Congressional
committee which controls the Wash
ington school expenditures," Mr. Mc-
Farland said. They gave him a plot
of ground, situated on a hillside, with
a slope steeper than that of Market
street between Cameron and Thir
teenth. eH has adapted the finished
building to this ground in the most
astonishing fashion, showing knowl
edge, ingenuity, experience and re
sourcefulness in a marked way.
Fitted For Practical Life
"The special educational facilities
fitting boys and girls for practical
everyday life are notably present in
this Central high school. There is a
inolding-room for teaching'iron foun
dry molding which is complete and
extensive. There are several metal
working rooms. The wood-working
shops are also well equipped with
machinery and demonstration facili
ties. A night school is being conduct
ed which takes advantage of the fine
little print shop. Mechanical drawing
is taught in several large rooms, one
of which includes a modern blue
printing machine. The physical and
chemical laboratories seem without
end, and are also completely equip
ped. The typewriting rooms include
thirty-six different makes of type
writers, so that all possible advan
tages are offered. Banking is taught,
and a savings bank is conducted in
the school.
Girls Have Equal Opportunities
"The girls are by no means neglect
ed in this great building. They have
all the opportunities the boys have,
and in addition domestic science is
elaborately provided for.
There are two gymnasia, one for
girls and one for boys. Each has
a room nearly as large as the audi
torium of the Central high school in
Harrisburg. Attached to each is a
rest room, with shower baths and
seats, and the adaptation of these
shower baths shows the knowledge
and ingenuity of the architect.
There is a swimming pool eighty
feet long, provided with water heat
ed to a definite temperature and ac
cessible under a well worked out ar
rangement on certain days to the
boys and on other days to the girls,
the privileges being equal.
"The Central high school considers
the teachers as worth looking after,
and there are delightful rest and re
tiring rooms for the teachers, in con
sequence.
"When you think of a high school
you hardly expect to find in it a run
ning track; yet there is a 140-yard
indoor running track on one of the
shelves facing the hillside.
"Nearby is a complete armory, and
the Central high school of Washing
ton has now seven organized com
panies In which tho boys aro getting
the advance training that is so tre
mendously important for American
youth. I have had to come to the
conclusion that to prevent the pro
vision of equivalent facilities for Har
risburg to those found in Washington
by failing to use the same architec
tural advice, would be nothing short
of a crime committed against the
young people of this city.
"For fifteen years we have wanted
and have obtained the best for our
money. We can get it now in school
facilities if we go after it in the fash
ion we have gone after water filtra
tion, park design, street paving, sewer
improvement, and the like."
Berlin Press Warns Against
Internal Disturbances
Berlin, April 17, via — In
the faeo of reports of possible strikes
the Vorwaerts prints a significant
warning as follows:
"Internal disturbances in Germany
at this moment would be calculated
deeply to disturb Socialistic peace
work. The vain hope that Germany
In a few months might see occurrences
similar to those in Russia might again
postpone the end of the war. which
now seems so near, and again cost
hundreds of thousands of lives in the
battlefield. Whoever haa reason or
conscience therefore will especially
ak what will be the effect of what
does or fails to do to-day."

tion he will notify Council of this, he
stated.
Commissioner E. Z. Gross nomi
nated Mr. Affleck after one ballot had
been taken 011 the nominees of last
week's session. In naming Mr. Affleck
Mr. Gross said:
VI feel that a solution of this dif
ference in Council will be found in a
name which I desire to present to
Council. The person I have in mind
was long: in the water department and
is esteemed and respected by every
body who knows him. He has been a
businessman of great integrity as
well."
'The vote was then called, Commis
sioners Gross, Lynch and Gorgas bal
loting for the nominee. Only one bal
lot was called before this one. The
votes were the same as last week.
Commissioner Gross naming J. Grant
Koons; Commissioner Lynch, William
Pavord, and Commissioner Gorgas,
City Clerk Charles A. Miller.
Active in Civic Work
No further action will be taken by
Council, it was said this morning, until
a reply has been received from Mr.
Affleck. If another election is neces
sary it is not expected that it will be
called before next Tuesday.
Mr. Affleck was a member of the
old Board of Water Commissioners
for many years and took an active
part in the city's activities. He was
identified with the early work of the
park system and by reason of his large
business experience brought to the
management of the Water Department
areat good sense. Members of City
Council believed they had solved a
rather embarrassing solution in his
election this morning and there is gen
eral regret in municipal circles that
Mr. Affleck is not disposed to accept
the election to a place in the City
Commission. He is widely known
throughout Harrisburg and business
men generally approve the choice of
Council.
More Guards For Reservoir
Commissioner Lynch introduced an
ordinance which when passed finally
will provide twelve additional uni
formed police to guard the reservoir,
filter plant and pumping station. Five
thousand dollars is set aside to pay
the salaries of the men and for the in
stalling and maintainor of additional
lights which have already been placed.
In connection with the ash and gar
bage survey. Commissioner Gross pre
sented to Council the three communi
cations he had received, from Gannett,
Seeyle and Fleming: the New York
Bureau of Municipal Research and
Tribus & Massa. An inrormal meet
ing of council will be held later in
the week to consider the proposals
and final action will be taken next
Tuesday.
An opinion from Solicitor Fox 011
the legality of the ordinance keeping
in the pay of the city, all city em
ployes who enlist because of the war,
has been asked. No action will be
taken until it is received,
i Other business disposed of included:
(iorgas Acting Mayor
Passing of resolution making Com
missioner Gorgas acting Mayor until
Mayor E. S. Meals is able to resume
his duties. Commissioner Gorgas may
hold hearings occasionally at police
headquarters he said.
Awarding contract to Stuck e r
Brothers for laying sewer in Jefferson
street ;approval of contract to W. O.
Hickok Company for iron castings;
final passage of ordinance providing
for construction of sewer in 15 feet

AUSTRIA READY

[Continued I 10111 First I'a tie] j
mum conditions are met. While the 1
public is extremely weary of the War,
its mind is made up to persist in the i
struggle to the end rather than accept j
! humiliating terms.
j The demands made on Austria-1
Hungary's economic resources and
human reservoir by the war are be
ginning to reach the limit of bearable
ness and the severe winter, whose ef
fects are still felt tend to increase tfte
1 great burden borne by the population.
The sowing of crops is about three
weeks behind which causes consider
able anxiety notwithstanding the fact
that the winter crops are reported as
in good condition.
Food Problem Rig
Vienna and other largo cities con-
I tinue to struggle with food problems
! which are due very largely to the ex
tremely poor conditions of transport.
The long war. has caused a general
| depreciation of railroad tracks and
' rolling stocks. Another factor in the
food shortage in the cities is the short
| sighted system of regulations, leaving
comparative plenty in many rural dis
tricts while the thickly peopled Indus
-1 trial sections are in want. Although
food prices in Vienna are three times
| normal it is still possible to procure
j supplies in far off districts almost as
J cheaply and easily as in times of
' peace.
! The efforts of the government to
! punish those who have driven up food
prices has resulted in a demand for in
; vestigation of the affairs of the aristo
! cratic landed class, which is charged
j with having availed itself of oppor
-1 tunities created by the war to profit
j financially. Some of the charges ap-
I pear to he well founded. The corre
: spondent understands That Emperor
'Charles is taking a personal interest
1 in this affair.

the paraders from entering Unter den

to-night that the trouble was over.
Court Refuses to Dismiss
Royal Arcanum Receiver
Boston, April 17. A petition for
vacation of the appointment of a re
ceiver for the Supreme Council of tho
Royal Arcanum was refused by Judge
Aldrlcli in tho federal district court
yesterday. Henry C. Wiggins, of
Rome, N. Y., general counsel for tho
Supreme Council, had asked that tho
injunction restraining tlus Supremo
officers from carrying on the business
of tho order and the appointment of
Thomas J. Boynton, of Everett, as re
ceiver, which were made last Satur
day, be set aside on the ground that
the order was solvent. if
Judge Aldrich, after dismissing the
petition, suggested that counsel agree
to a decree making the receivership
permanent, and to an appeal by the
organization. Pending the appeal, the
receiver would not bo authorised to
act, ho wild. After a conference ot'
counsel, it was announced that all par
ties had virtually agreed to follow tho
court's suggestion and to submit a
decree embodying the agreement.
