It reports that "the present value and future Importance of the state forests of Pennsylvania are far too little reeognixed. It Is probably fair to say that not ono citlaen In a hundred is aware of the magnificent state property which has been acquired and not one in ten of those who should make use of the state forests for recreation and other purposes is doing so." "Our state forests," says the com mittee, "constitute by far the most valuable and important material possession of the state. They are worth In cash not only all that wus paid for them, but in addition every rent that Pennsylvania has expended for forestry all told, to say nothing ot their giowuig usefulness as great public parks for hunting, fishing and camping, and their lncalculablo value as health resorts and for stream con trol. The money expended upon them j is not properly an expense, but a pay- | ing Investment." Thrc Tottering Old Horses Sold to Farmer For $7 York llaven, Pa., Dec. IS.—These old gray mares have seen better days. For & trio of horses purchased severa days ago by James Adel blute, a farmer, of near town, from Harry Lents, a Manchester hotelman, the former paid the sum of 3", or an average of 12.33 for each animal. In fact, it is said, Adebute only pur chased two of the steeds, the third befng given to him as a present by tho Manchester soteler in order to got rid of It. To what use Mr. Adel bluto will put the houses remains a mystery. It is claimed, as the aged animals totter when they walk. Mr. Lent-/, acquired the trlo'of animals in a trade, it is uferted. To feed them for a week it would cost tho Man chester hotelman more than re re ceived in cash for them. fcuUUSBtTRG IfISSM TELEGRAPH PENNSYLVANIA MEN IN COLLEGES Student Army Men Scattered Through Institutions All Over the Country - j According to figures compiled at 1!

I CENTRAL HIGH NOTES I Seniors Hold Nomination i The senior class held a meeting in j the assembly hall yesterday betwoen | sessions for the purpose of noml i natlng officers for the fifth term. 1 The meeting was presided over by President Ross 8. Hoffman, and Seretary Frances Todd acted In her official office.. ,The meeting was im mediately opened for nominations and three candidates for each office were put up In the first few minu tes, Horace Bellg, Milton Potts and Louis Rimer were the selection of the boys for the next presidency, and Jennie Blecker, Elizabeth Brown and Elizabeth Lloyd were the girls' candidates for secretary, Milton Potts, however, resigned his nomi nation. All tho candidates are popu lar members of the class, and a close election Is looked for, Presi dent Hoffman announced that all nominations would have to bo ap proved by Professor Severance, Al though this had been the custom last year, tha present officers were not O K'd, The president also an nounced that, since many members of ths class would attend the Tach ' dance this evening, the regular bi weekly danoo at Ilanshaw's Hall would not be held, Reports Come Cut The first reporta of the 1918-1# school year were given to the stu dents yesterday morning. Instead of having one report Issued from the office, ae has been the custom in previous years, aach teacher gave reports to the pupils who recite to him. Although thia system saves much work for the office, It is not generally liked by the student body, ix or seven reports must now be signed and returned instead of bne. THREE INSTITUTES IN PERRY New Hlootnflcld, Pa., Dec, 18.— Three sessions of farmers' Institutes, Instead of the two as usual, will be held In Pemr county thia year.

HARRIS IS QUITE HOPEFUL Says There Will Be a Major ity For Ratification of the Big Amendment j The Rev. Dr. John Royal Harris, j State Superintendent of the Dry : Federation of Pennsylvania, in u I statement just issued, predicted the | adoption of the prohibition amend • nient by this state. v Dr. Harris culms 110 members of j the House have been elected, who ' were pledged to "ratification, and i that there are twenty-three Senators ! who are certain to vote the same | way and that more than the rematn j ins four required to reach the total of twenty-six which is necessary to adopt the amendment in the Senate, will he secured from oilier Senators j whom he claims will in all probabii-1 ity support this measure. "A great many conflicting state-1 ments have been made," said Dr. I Harris, "with regard to the complex-! ion of the next legislature, on the i subject of ratification. I have pur- j posely waited until 1 could make a : careful anulysis qnd certain Investi gations before publicly stating my views on this important question. As a result of the study I have been ! making since the eection, I am able 1 to say that it is my tirm opinion j that ratification will carry. There j can be no doubt In my mind that this ' measure will pass the House with! a comfortable majority. There are | 110 members whom I am sure will j vote to ratify. It is in the Senate r that the only possible doubt exists, 1 and here I feel very hopeful that 1 the result will be the same as in the i House. "Governor-elect Sprout's firm at titude on this question cannot fail to be tho deciding influence ,ln our favor in the upper House. He mndo this question one of the principal issues in his caihpaign, and tho Re publican party, by supporting him so generously, supported his views on ratification. "The Senate will contain forty four Republicans, many of whom were the Governor's associates while he sat in thnt body. We have heard from several that they will be guid ed very largely by his wishes in the matter, and from his public an nouncements before add after his election, there can be no doubt that his wishes are that ratification be pulsed. Senator Sproul was the party's platform }p the recent elec tion- and by 'his decisive majority he became the leader of the Republi cans In Pennsylvania. It Is not thinkable that the Senators of Ills party will seek to discredit his lead ership by falling to follow his wishes on ratification." The Freedom of the Seas WHAT IT MEANS IN AMERICA, ENGLAND, AND FRANCE -V • . , • '/ There is a very interesting article in this week's LITERARY DlGEST—Decembco 14th— bearing upon the most vital topic likclv to be discussed at the great peace conference —the Free dom of the Seas. While Lieutenant-Colonel Repington, the famous British Military Expert, remarks that "I "have not the slightest idea of wliab freedom of the seas means, nor have I met anyone who can tell me," London and French newspapers have quite definite ideas as to its meaning. Mqch of the comment in the London and Paris papers emphasizes the fact that President \\ ilson has not yet defined what he means by freedom of the seas, but most of the French journals agree with the Paris Matin when it says "if this doctrine means any diminution of the power of the •British navy, France will reject it."

NEW YORK DR.SCHAEFFER URGES INCREASE State Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction Discusses Some School Problems • In urging that the state vote the J emergency Increase of salaries to I its teachers. Dr. Natluin C. Schaef | fer, the State Superintendent of i Public Instruction, says that the proposition is simply one of keeping : teachers at desks. The shortage is no longer one of debute. It is u fact, he says. In vscusslng the matter Dr. Sch.iefler says: "The shortage of : teachers has emphasised, as never' ' before, one of thfc original purposes I for wlMi the office of county super ; intendent was created, namely, that of aiding' the directors to securo qualified teachers for all the schools'. , Many superintendents urged bright I young people to attend the summer , schools or the special classes which , the stute normal schools organized during the spring term to meet this emergency. The University of Pitts burgh. the tttatc College and other | Institutions of higher learning like- , wise helped the superintendents to fill the vacancies caused by tho drnft j and the industrial situation. The | causes for this shortage are not fur to seek, but the remedies are diffi cult to find. Muny teachers who got more lucrative employment dur ing the summer vacation resigned j their positions in the public schools. Pupils were tempted by high wages > to quit the high schools before com- j pleting the course. The army and the navy took many young men from the schoolroom and it was difficult' to find any one to take their places. "Real estate is tuxed as much as it can stand. If not to the limit; and ' it is Imperative for tho Legislature j to Ilnd new sources of revenue for! school purposes. The stnto board j recommends an emergency appro-' printlon to add twenty-flve per cent, to the salaries of the teachers, many of whom llhd it more difficult to meet their expenses than in the days when they received only half the compensation which is now offered in the remotest rural'districts. Pa triotism may for a time hold the teacher in the ranks of this voca tion ultimately the struggle for bread will assert Itself and tlie need of educating or supporting depend ants forces him to enter vocations which offer more lucrative employ ment. No system or scheme for tho training of teachers can be expect ed to solve this economic problem. Reduced to its simplest terms, it is' the question of more money for the ' public schools and better salaries! for the teachers." On the important subjects of nat uralization and Americanization, Dr. j Schaeffer says: "Both the state and [ the federal government have organ- j Ized agencies for the naturalization f DECETtTKETR TS, Tm4. "* and Americanization of tb* for . clgncr. When two departments of j the federal government und ono do i partment of the stnte government ! claim this work as their special ! province und seek to utilise the Ptlb ! Nc schools for their purposes, thore j are apt to be cross purposes, con ! diets and misunderstandings. The school people are.trying to co-oper ate with these several agencies in evening schools, in the organization of classes for uduits and in the Uls . semination of free literature for the | benefit of those who must learn Eng j lish as the lirst step in their Ainerl- I conization. It Is believed that there i may be a r.ew Influx of foreigners at I the close of the war and It will lie [a most important duty to usslmlaute I them, and especially their children, Ito our free American institutions and aspirations."
