MACK'S ""omcii 810 kIAiIKKT STRiSKT CITY'S SCHOOLS ATTRACT NOTICE Harrisburg Plan Considered at State Convention of Educators That the special schools maintain ed in Harrisburg by the school board are attracting stnte-wide attention because of the practfeal and success ful methods used was told to the board yesterday afternoon by Dr. F. E. Downes, city superintendent, in an oral report on the meeting of the Pennsylvania State Educational As sociation held recently at Johnstown. The Harrisburg continuation school was the one which created the most interest in the discussions at the sec tion meetings at Johnstown, speakers commending the school district on | the splendid showing made here even though the school is located iif a two-story frame building. Slides showing charts and other material used at the school have been mado by the bureau of vocational educa tion of the State Department of Pub lic Instruction and are exhibited all over the state. Teachers at the school aie Miss Nora M. Koons, Harry K. Balsßaugh and Mrs. Sarah G. Wor mell. Miss Koons and Professor Balsbaugh spoke at .the educational meeting. At present there are 210 boys and girls enrolled at the Har risburg school. Two other striking features in pub- j lie education work were called to the attention pt the directors by Dr. Downes. One of these was the in creasing sentiment in favor of physi cal education in the schools, prob ably due to the war. Dr. Downes said a bill may be Introduced in the I Legislature at the next session which I if passed will require public school | districts to include physical instruc tion in the curriculum. Ho com mended the directors for approving the proposed changes in supervisory , work which will include provision for this branch of instruction. Vacancy on Board Another feature of the meetings was the widespread interest in the junior high school movement involv ing a complete change in school or ganization. Much of tho time was sper.t in talks and discussions on junior school work. A committee of school directors will bring the matter of filling tho vacancy on tho board to the atten tion of the court. Since the resigna tion of the Rev. William N. Yates there has been only eight directors. Officials of the board said complete plans for the work of the year can not be made until there are nine members. The revised rules which will eli minate all committees of the board providing for a number of changes recommended in the survey report of tho district will be submitted for ilnal action Friday, January 18. The board approved the finance committee recommendation to aban don any further work on the building program with the exception of com pletion of the new junior high school at Nineteenth and Chestnut streets, and the remodeling of the Camp Cur tin building. It was decided to ad vertise for bids for the purchase of SSOO,OOO of 4% per cent. 5-30-year He-rial bonds, tho proceeds to be used to erect these two buildings, the open air school and purchase property adjoining Technical High •school.
