Haiuusburg telegpxph TAX RATE TO BE FIXED AT SESSION MAY 27 School Board Delays Action to Give Further Study of the Matter City School Directors decided at the session yesterday to hold a spec ial meeting May 27 when the tax rate for the 1919-1920 school year will be fixed. The budget which was presented earlier in the week was discussed for a few minutes only, all the members of the board agreeing that more time should be given to the public to consider the proposed expenditures, thus giving taxpayers more opportunity to offer any con structive criticism. Representatives of the State De partment of Health were present at the meeting yesterday aud urged the directors to give permission to have all the schools co-operate in the fly campaign which will be waged dur ing the summer by the Civic Club as in former years. The school children are to be taught how to build traps and set them, and how to prevent the breeding of flies by keeping back yards and lots clean. Amendments to the School Board rules which will equalize salaries to teachers were passed finally by unan imous vote. When the recommenda tion of Dr. F. E. Downes, superinten dent. that two married teachers should be promoted from substitute lists to regular duty, was read, there was some opposition to the plan, one of the directors declaring that young teachers from State Normal Schools should be given the preference. Fur ther action postponed for the present. Other directors of the Board said that it would be discour teous to dismiss the married teachers 1 who had helped the district during the shortage caused by the war. Time Extended A 60-day extension was granted to the general contractors working on the Camp Curtin school, and elec trical contractors were given a 75- day extension. The resignation of Dr. Charles S. Rebuck, medical inspector in the city district for a number of years, was received and accepted. The physician said he needed more time for his pri vate practice. The appointment of Dr. G. B. Stull, his assistant, as in spector, was suggested by Dr. Downes, who also recommended the employment of two assistants instead of one. Dr. Downes submitted to the di rectors a part of his annual report for 1919 in which he reviewed the present school system, giving com plete data about the organization and Instruction work which has been car ried out. and is provided for. Part of the reorganization of the super visory and teaching forces can not be completed until in September, when the junior high schools are to be opened, but all arrangements have been made for this and practic ally all positions filled except the appointment of teachers. Some of the more important sub jects discussed by the superintendent in his report follow: "The public school buildings of the city number 34, with a total valuation of $2,500,- 000. An average of one new building per year has been erected during the past fifteen years. The number of teachers employed has not consider ably passed the 350 mark. Of these, 76 are employed in the High Schools. More than 13,000 pupils were en rolled in the schools during the past school year, of whom more than 2,- 000 were in the High Schools." Review la Given Other information given in the re port is that plans are about com pleted for the opening of the junior High School in which pupils of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades are to be taught. The Teachers Training School established in 1903 has a grad uate list of 190, many of whom taught the city schools after completing the course; about 600 pupils were en rolled in night schools during the last year, including the Americani zation work: about 100 pupils are en rolled at the open air school and next year a fourth teacher will be employed there; schools for mentally deficient and continuation school for employed boys and girls from 14 to 16 years of age, are two other phases of activities mentioned by Dr. Downes. A review of the present organiza tion of the business administrative branch is given in which Dr. Downes explains that the changes were ef fected upon recommendations in the survey report of the Bureau of Mu nicipal Research of New York City, the organization selected by the Chamber of Commerce to make a study of nhool affairs in Harris burg, A similar explanation of the su pervisory plans of the district is given. The superintendent is to be the official head of the system and under him are to be supervisors of advanced grades, primary grades and special activities; the following sub ject supervisors, drawing, music, manual training; principals, one for Teachers Training School; two senior High School; two intermediate; ten elementary and one for continua tion, A short discussion of the work of the department of medical inspec tion and compulsory attendance fol* lows, Dr, Downes gives the following as reasons for increased efficiency: saL ary improvement, better supervision of teaching; reduction of length of elementary course; semi-annual pro motions; intermediate schools; merit system; extension courses; retire ment plan for teachers; standard tests, card recerd systems of both pupils and teachers and library ex tensions. The euperintendent cloees his re port with statements about class room study Improvement, the echool savings system and school gardens.
