CITY TEACHERS
ARE INSTRUCTED:
First Sessions of Institute
Hold in Technical High
School
Discounting much of the theore
tical in teaching and giving demon- j
strations by charts and scales ofj
how better and more efficient metli- j
ods may be used. Dr. S. A. Courtis j
and Superintendent Howard G. j
Burdge, instructed the 355 teachers'
of the city schools at the tirst ses-,
sion of the twenty-second annual in-j
stitute held Inst evening and this 1
morning. The meetings were held '
in the auditorium of the Technical i
High school Instead of the Central

been held for a number of years. |
Superintendent Burdge is at tlic>
head of the schools of Wellsville, j
N. Y., and is associated with the bu->
reau of municipal research of New!
York City. His themes dealt with!
the use and interpretation of 'stun-;
dardized tests.
Dr. Courtis is supervisor of edu- >
cational research of the Detroit pub-j
lie schools and illustrated his talks
with slides showing the practical
work in research that has been do:ie ;
in large cities all over the United,
States. In addressing the teachers on
the subject, "Improving the Effi- j
ciency of Teaching in Arithmetic," j
the speaker said; "We take chil-j
dren into the public schools from
every class and treat them all alike, j
We do not pay enough attention to j
their inner organizations as well as]
their mental capacity. Until we
care of the differences in children i
we shall not have efficiency. Many
of you teachers have (tried music
; art and have found that you would I
!be successful along these lines. It is;
an educational crime in a class 1
where he is destined to fall. Each ;
school must put a task before the j
pupil that he can reach. 1 believe |
I in 100 per cent, promotions," was
what he spoke In part to the teach- )
I ers.

Harrisburg is to have two deer for;

i lind enough fencing to enclose two j
acres of ground of Wildwood Park, I
'it was said to-day. As soon as this

RAILROAD
VOCAL LESSONS
FOR TRAINMEN
This May Come Unless Read
ing Employes Call Sta
tions Intelligently
Reading men employed on passenger
trains may have to take vocal lessons
this fall. They may have to go to a
school of elocution and have their
voices trained because complaints
have been made to the state about
passenger trainmen in New Jersey
who cannot or <vill not speak the
United States language in a way that
passengers can understand.
Because the Jersey trainmen work
on trains that run in Pennsylvania
complaint has been made to the Penn
sylvania State Public Service Com
n.ission.
The order to take up vocal culture
would hit the men all over the line.
Informnl Cotaplulnt
An informal complaint was made
July 31 by Clement H. Congilon, In
ternational Bureau of Publicity, at
Philadelphia. Mr. Congdon's com
plaint was 'that trainmen on the
Reading system do not call out sta
tions promptly nor properly. As a re
sult of this neglect, passengers are
frequently caried beyond their desti
nation. and it has happened that they
have not had the money with them
to finance themselves back to their
original destination. Your prompt
attention to this serious fault in pub
lic service will be much appreciated."
Mr. Congdon was asked by the com
missioners to furnish more specific
evidence and he wrote the folowing:
Names Crw
"I beg leave to name the Trenton
local. The crew of this train has
been, neglecting to properly call trains
for months past. The whole system
of train calls on the Reading is
wretchedly inefficient. One of the
callers on duty in the Reading ter
minal is almost unintelligible."
An investigation followed and the
officials of the Reading are now mak
ing every effot to have nauies of
stations <*hlled out intelligently.
New Records Made in

been constructed over 2 4,000 build
ings for housing the new army for
i training subsequent to going to

$25,000 FIRE AT
GETTYSBURG
Crescent Garage, Twenty Au
tomobiles and Big Carriage
House Destroyed
Gettysburg, Pa., Sept. B.—Firo
,about 4 o'clock this morning destroy
ed the Crescent garage and about
twenty automobiles and a large car
riage warehouse in the rear of the
garage owned by C. C. Qramm.
The tire is believed to have been
caused by electric wires, as a short
time before a (ire from that cause
occurred at the parsonage of St.
James' Lutheran Church, opposite
the garage. This tire was discovered
and extinguished by the pastor, the
Uev. J. C. Maker, who a few min
utes later saw the flames in the
garage and gave the alarm.
About twenty auotmobiles wero
stored in the building, most of them
owned by people of the town. All
wore destroyed with the building.
Very few of these machines were in
sured, but those belonging to the
owner of the garage and the build
ing itself were insured. The loss will
run between $20,000 and $25,000.
Karl Kichols was caught under a
falling wall and seriously injured,
several bones being broken. Little
damage was done at the parsonage.
The carriage warehouse and most of
its contents were destroyed.

RESIGNS FROM 1
DRAFT BOARD
C. \V. Finton Succeeded by
W. J. Daniels, of
Elizabethville
A change in the personnel of the
Elizabethville board was announced
to-day when word was received by
that board that W. J. Daniels, of
Elizabethville, had been appointed
as successor to Charles W. Finton,
of Lykens, resigned. Mr. Finton is
a manager at one of the mines in '
that section and several days ago sent
in Ms resignation to the draft head- ; '
quarters at Harrisburg stating that
his presence was needed at his work j ,
and he could not give any further I
time to the exemption board. His i
resignation was accepted and to-day 1
Mr. Daniels took up his new office. I
The work of this board to-day was I
confined to examining exemption
claims. Monday fifty have been'
called for examination and a similar
number for Tuesday and Wednesday.
This will conclude the examinations
of this board.
At Steelton the board acted on
several exemption claims and pre
pared its list of certified names. The j
Paxtang board was busy giving out i
information to several who claimed i
exemption on the grounds of agrl- I
cultural enterprise. Mostly the local j
boards have completed the larger'
part of their work. The boards of j
Divisions 2 nd 3 will do very little;
more examining and Division 1 will '
call no more men unless it is abso- ]
lutely necessary. Fifty men liavo i
been called to appear Monday morn
ing before the Paxtang board and a
like number will appear on the same
day at Elizabethville.
A story of human Interest was fur
nished to-day by a man from Ship
pensburg who had /ecelved notice
to appear for examination. This
young man is a sailor on the Great j
Lakes and received his notice through
the mrine post office of that section.
He wrote to his local board and
asked for a transferral "to any port
in l.ake Erie."
The "slackers" continue to show
up at Steelton and are being ex.
amined each day.

HIGH WAR TAX
ADVOCATES LOSE
FIGHT IN SENATE
Vote on Measure Must Be
Taken Not Later Than
Monday
By Associated Press
Washington. Sept. 6. —With the
hotly contested war profits and in
come tax sections of the war
revenue bill out of the way,
the Senate to-day took up for final
disposition minor points of dispute
in the measure. The final vote on
the bill as a whole must be taken
not later than Monday.
High tax advocates lost their fight
again yesterday when the Senate
tentatively adopted the finance com
mittee's income tax provisions de
r signed to raise $842,000,000 addl
j tional revenue from individuals and
| corporations.
I The group of senators who op
i loosed the army draft law, made up
j of Senators Gronna, Hardwlclc, La
! follette, Heed and Vardaman, re
j reived a setback when the Senate
i rejected. 74 to 5. a proposal by Mr.
Hard wick to increase taxes on big
! incomes to pay fifty dollars monthly
! to all Americans serving in France.
Insult to Soldiers
The amendment, aroused the Sen
ate's ire as it has not been aroused
in a long while several senators,
among them Senator Nelson, Re
publican, and a Civil War veteran,
denouncing it as "humiliating and
belittling" to the American soldiers.
"Our boys nre not as cheap as some
. statesmen," he added.
Among the other minor contested
features that remain to bo disposed
t>f are the consumption taxes on
sugar, coffee, tea and cocoa, levying
$8ti,000,000; the sugar drawback
repeal provision and the section in
creasing second class mall rates. It
is considered doubtful, however,
whether these can be reached to-
I day.
