The Strength of the Flag
By RABBI ROMANOFF
An American Citizen of Russian Birth
To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The frailest, the most fragile, the
weakest material has been selected
to represent national emblems. For
the weakest substance becomes the
strongest if it has the will of the
people to back fend support it. The
strongest material, on tha other hand,
becomes weak, and shrivels If it Is
not fortified by the wholehearted and
united will of the people. Thus, once
upon a time, tablets of stone, of
massive granite, were easily broken
as soon as the hard stune lost its
content and purport to the people.
As soon as the tablet lost the sym
pathy, the will of the people, it was
shattered and smashed to pieces.
It became "a scrap of paper," In
stead of a divine document. It is the
will of the people that makes
things strong, for strength does not
Jie in quantity, but in quality, in the
nopes, aspirations, and Ideals which
the flag represents.
We Americans love our flag dear
ly. but our love for it is increased
manifold when we see it on foreign
soil, protecting and watching over us.
The other day I went to see "The
Yellow Ticket." I, born on benighted
Russian soil, an eye-witness of many
horrible atrocities, too terrible to de
scribe, was simply carried away by
emotions when, amidst the indescrib
able organized brutality, and sys
tematic crushing of all that is de
cent and holy in manhood and in
womanhood represented In "The Yel
low Ticket," albeit faintly, my eyes
suddenly feasted on the sight of our
American flag In the house of the
American consul. In such a-setting,
and amidst such surroundings, our
dear old flag looked to me Tike an
oasis in a desert, like a streak of
light rending the thick, dark clouds
which obscured the warm sun. like
the angel who said, "Halt!" to
Abraham, on the point of sacrificing
BETTER POSmON
FOR HARCLERODE
Widely-Known Music Super
visor Accepts Job in
Reading
■jjraXJP^
PROF. W; M. HARCLERODE
With the resignation of Prof.
William Harclerde as supervisor of
music in the local schools, Steelton
loses one of its best welfare workers
and promoters of local talent the
borough can boast of in recent years.
Prof. Harclerode has resigned to ac
cept a position as supervisor of music
in the public schools in the city of
Reading.
Prof. Harclerode, who has for ten
years been in charge of the music
department of the local schools, is
widely known through the state In
musical circles. During his connec
tions with the school faculty this in
structor planned many plays which
gave the school talent a chance to
demonstrate some of the accom
plishments gained through school
work.
Not only has Prof. Harclerode
been very active in school work, but
has taken an interest in various ac
tivities in this borough. It was
through his efforts that a community
chorus was organized sometime ago.
Prof. Harclerode also planned the
concert given recently by Robert
Tempest, which netted a large sum
of money for the Junior Red Cross
organization of the High school
building and the Boy Scout play
which enabled the boys to secure
funds for a camping trip and equip
ment for their troop. These are just
a few of the many benefit affairs
Prof. Harclerode planned.
The following statement was is
sued at the office of the school board
this morning:
Prof. William M. Harclerode, su
pervisor of music in the local schools
has received a call to the supervisor
ship of the city of Reading. He ten
dered his resignation to the board
at its meeting on Monday ■ evening
last, which resignation was regret
fully accepted. While there was a
disposition on the part of the Steel
ton authorities to add to his salary
with a view t6 retain him, the pros
pect of a wider field at a consider
able advance in salary caused him to
decide in favor of Reading. Professor
Harclerode is a graduate of the
Steelton High school and of the
Crane School of Music of Pottsdam,
N. Y. Ten years ago he took charge
of the music in the Steelton schools
and in that time he brought them up
to such a high standard of excellence
that his merits as a supervisor are
recognized even outside of the state.
His successor has not yet been se
lected but several strong persons are
being considered for the place."
High School Faculty
Changes to Be Heard
by Directors on Monday
Important changes in the filling of
a number of vacancies on the facul
ties of the Central and Technical
High schools will be presented to the
board for approval by City Superin
tendent F. 12. Downes at the regular
semimonthly meeting on Friday af
.ternoon. Owing to the increases in
the number of students at both
schools the teaching corps will be en
larged and there has been dif
ficulty to secure satisfactory instruc
tors. It is believed, however, after
the meeting on Friday few vacancies
will remain unfilled. Applicants for
these will be considered and appoint
ments made before September.
A request from Miss Frances Hamil
ton, domestic science instructor *at
Central High school, for a leave of
absence for one year, will be pre
sented. It was received to-day. Miss
Hamilton states she will enter hos
pital service as a dietitian. She has
been in charge of the domestic science
department at Central jjince it was
opened, four years ago.
Isaac, like something which could be
more felt than said.
I believe, dear Editor, it certainly
was an inestimable sight. a "treat"
to see "that crazy American," (crazy
from the standpoint of the semi
savage Russian, who can't understand
the American's love of justice and of
freedom—such is the power of evil,
or such is the evil of darkness,)
"that crazy American" in the picture
with his characteristic independence,
dauntlessness of* spirit, and intrepid
courage, championing the cause of
the weak, the oppressed, and down
trodden. He. looked to me like
r>aniel in the lion's den. The un
speakable Russian officials held him
in their grip, ready to cast him Into
their dungeons, and silence him for
ever. But he stood there and stalled.
In the first place, he knew that the
American consul with his native flag
"were In back of him. The telephone
call from the consul made the sav
ages relax their clutches. "
The Flag of Freedom
Those who lived in the dark coun
tries like Russia, or any other au
tocratic country, where millions of
people are writhing in agony In the
powerful and relentless grip of or
ganized oppression, could feel the
full force of the sight of the flog
of freedom and humanity in that
barbaric land. I was one of those
So whenever I saw in that picture
our dear flag, the American consul
and the American Journalist, the ef
fect was one of a drowning man to
whom a hand waa stretched forth
from the shore.
I do not know whether we all read
the flag, and Interpret the "Stars
and Stripes" in the same wav wheth
er we all understand wherein the
strength of our flag lies, but I know

"Human Spider" to Crawl
Into Vaudeville if He
Can Scale Hotel Walls
The' ink on the announcement that
a "human spider" would scale the
Penn-Harris walls was still wet when
the Majestic Theater added to the
glories of the Glorious Fourth by an
nouncing that the "spider" will be
booked at the Majestic for the bal
ance of the week as a reward for his
work if he succeeds in reaching the
top of the flagpole on the new hotel
via the "outside route."
The spider is something of a vaude
ville performer, he says, and he can
entertain crowds from a theater stage
as well as from the Alpine heights of
the city's skyline. Therefore, when
you see the "spider" working his way
up the side of the Penn-Harris Hotel
to-morrow, at the conclusion of the
parade, you can consider him as
climbing his way into the Keith cir
cuit.
The Majestic Theater will run its
vaudeville continuously to-morrow
from 2 In the afternoon to 11 at night.
So you can go any time and see the
whole show. All acts will be changed
to-morrow for the balance of the
week except Bessie Wynn, and she
will have new songs and new cos
tumes.
