UN GRAY HAIR DARK Try Grandmother's Old Favor ite Recipe of Sage T<;a and Sulphur Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, ""brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will t-et a large bottle of this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally ant" evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your' hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after an other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Wyeth's Sase and Sulphur Com pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. —Adv.

Elimination of politics In the se lection of janitors and other em ployes of the board; all janitors to be instructed in care and operation of buildings in such manner as to re lieve principals and teachers from some duties now devolving upon them. Substitution of cheaper grades of coal for some of the larger and more expensive varieties now in use. Employment of expert accountants as school auditors and all sinking funds to be placed at interest In school and local city or iocal indus trial bonds In order to earn a larger percentage of interest. The surveyors also made the point that school treasurers could get away with taxes paid them without any body being the wiser. School Treas urer Oves to-day denied this. He said tho system of accounting might need revision, but that careful ac counting makes it Impossible for the treasurer not to be found out if dis honest. He also pointed out that school funds in his charge are at Interest at rates as high as the banks will pay. The introduction and summary ac companying the report are as fol lows: This report deals with the or ganization and the procedure fol lowed in administering the physical and business functions, and in pro viding for the general regulation and control over all of the activities of the school district of Harrisburg. While no inquiry was made into tho work methods of the different edu cational services, 1. e., instruction, medical inspection, enforcement of attendance, etc.. yet the general or ganization for the administering of these services and the relation there of to the business and physical ad ministration of the schools has at all times been taken into account. Both the criticisms and recommendations of this report are made in the light of what is deemed necessary in order to produce a well balanced and regulated school system for Harrisburg. Due to the limit of the survey, this report necessarily gives much consideration to the construc tion of buildings purchase of sup plies. maintenance of accounts, rendering of statements, etc. How ever, it is realized that no school sys tem exists only for these particular purposes. The real and prjmary objects of any school system is the provision of efficient instruction for the children of the school district. With IliiS' in mind, therefore, any form of organization or procedure in connection with the general control, tho business, or the physical admin istration of the school system which tends to inhibit, retard, or to make less important the real end and aim of the schools, has been criticised. In securing the information upon which this report is based, the min utes of the board for the last five years (1912-16) and the minutes of each committee from January 16th to March 1917 were studied inten sively. The minutes of the board and the four committees for the months October and November, 1916, were carefully analyzed and the dif ferent actions were tabulated. At least one meeting of the board and each of its committees was attended during the period of the survey, February 13th-March 24th. A careful study was also made of the organization and functions of the school system as set forth in the state education laws and the rules and regulations of the board. Each of the three members of the sur. vey staff in Harrisburg was in dally contact with either the president, certain members of the board, the secretary or the superintendent. More than three-fourths of the school houses were visited where jthe building and the operating plants were inspected and confer ences held with the respective prin cipals and janitors. The findings and recommenda tions of this report were discussed and approved in a conference be tween members of the survey staff, the civic committee of the Harris burg Chamber of Commerce, and the president, superintendent sec retary and chairman of the finance committee of the board of school directors. The Bureau of Municipal Re search desires to make a matter of record its appreciation of the splen did co-operation which was given the survey staff continuously throughout the conduct of the survey by each and every official and employe of the school system. Such co-opera tion was at all times given zealously and in many cases at the sacrifice of their own time.

"That the responsibility for the conduct of the school system is at the present time widely diffused among the board, committees, mem bers of the board, secretary, super intendent, etc., is largely ascribable to the present state law which does not expressly pormit the superin tendent of schools to be the real re sponsible leader of the school sys tem. "In spite of the fact that during the last ten years the expenditures of the system have grown 100 per cent., the school population nearly 25 per cent., and many new activi ties have been added, there has been no appreciable corresponding change either in the number of per sonnel of. or in the practice followed by the central office staff. The ef fect of this has been that (1) re sponsibility has been diffused among the several executives and board officials, (2) the central office staff has been greatly overworked,- (3) it has not been possible to secure proper information upon which to base administrative policies. "The board, its committees or the individual members as well as the l executive staff are most conscien tious and zealous with respect to [their work, in fact the willingness of each official to take a practical [port in tho administration of tho schools is indeed extra
