SETTER SCHOOLS
URGED FOR THE
COLORED RACE
ovcrnor Brumbaugh and Su
perintendent Schaeffer Ad
dress Educational Meet
A meeting of great significance
>th to white and colored races was
aid in the Technical High school
iditorium last night where the
istly important question of negro
iucaUon, as it concerns parrisburs
ul the whole nation, was discussed
r Leslie Pinke.v Hill, principal of
ie Cheyney Tralnlgg School for
eacliers and one of the foremost
aders of the colored folk. Perhaps
ie uppermost topic was the tre
endous influx of colored people
om the South, especially since war
dustries offer so many opportunl
es for earning big wages. One of
ie speakers. Dr. Nathan C. Schaef
>r. made this very plain with statis
ts showing that Philadelphia alone
is been increased by 5,".,000 from
ie South. No estimate was made of
ie added population to Harrlsburg,
it it numbers in the thousands and
-eat efforts are to be made here to
■e that these new citizens are edu
:!onally provided for.
Governor Brumbaugh, once a
hool administrator, gave some solid
Ivice with regard to the training of
ore colored teachers and he took
•casion to bitterly denounce the
ini traffic. "If the government is
■lpless to make a good soldier with
irn in the camp," he challenged,
now can persons hope to become
en and women with silch an evil
i their- midst!"
It was the best attended and most
lthusiastic gathering the progres
ve and intelligent colored folk of
arrisburg ever planned and results
om it must shortly appear. The
eoples Formu was responsible for

Applications Pour in For
City War Garden Plots

Chamber of Commerce was prepared
to do a land-office business to-day In
war gardens, for when the books
closed last night over fifty applica
tions had been registered, and the

ent, and the committee is doing ev
erything to help. When an applicant
cunnot afford to instantly furnish the
$1.50 fee for rental he is indulged to
certain credit, which Is certainly
more than fair. For thlg price the
renter has the use of a lot six months
and, seeing that the committee plows

expert advice as to cultivating, no
I one should complain. Every one
making a' contract is required to
sign up anil for this receives an
identification card. As alb appear
nnces indicate an early spring and
since the time Is ripe now for
planting certain vegetables, every
ono intending to do his bit in the
Barden should hurry to put in an
application.
