NEW JUNIOR HIGH
HELPS SCHOOL WORK
Faculty of Edison Building to Teach Many Now Subjects to
Former Grade Pupils
The boys and girls of the ninth ,
grade who reported at the new Edi- i
son Junior High building were ;
much pleased with the building and !
its equipment. Although the build- j
ing is not entirely linished and
some inconvenience will be suffered ;
for some time the boys and girls
are quite willing to undergo these j
for the splendid promise of the !
future. There is no doubt the boys
and girls of eighth and seventh
gradeswill be as much pleased when
they report to-morrow morning and
afternoon in the order named.
Because of the unfinished state ;
of the building the authorities will j
not have the entire school report j
at any one session for some time, j
Until the building is entirely finish- '
ed and the organization completed
one half of the school will meet in |
the forenoon and the other half in j
the afternoon. Because of this ar
rangement the student will have a j
half-holiday doing one half of his j
daily program one day and the !
other half the next day. The prin- i
cipal hopes to get the boys and girls |
down to a full day's program in I
the near future.
In the meantime the faculty will
be doing a full day's work because I
of the fact that the building is ;
new and that everything must be
put in order. This means that the 1
teacher, especially those who have I
to care for shops and laboratories ;
will have much work to do when ;
the students are absent. The
teachers who do not have so much I
work to do. to put their rooms in ,
order will be given work from the i
office of which there will be a great j
amount so that the records and !
such things may be properly cared
for.
Find Work Different
The students find their work will |
be vastly different from (lie work i
usually done by the seventh, eighth I
and ninth year grades. In the pro- ,
grams there is ample provision for |
Diabetes Treated
Successfully
Medical science admits of no defl- :
nlte cure for Diabetes, despite the
many years of eperimenting and re- ;
search by physicians. However, this
popular theory might be called fal- j
lacious if one were to judge from
the following unsolicited testimonial
from a grateful user of Warner's
Safe Diabetes Remedy:
"P had been troubled with Dia
betes for S years. I heard about I
Warner's Sufo Diabetes Remedy and ;
I tried some of it and got myself in
good condition and went to work
again. One man said he doctored
for 2 years and that or.-e bottle of)
Warner's Safe Diabetes Remedy did
him more good than all the doctors.
I am much pleased and so thank
ful for your life-saving remedy that j
I cheerfully recommend it to any- !
oru. troubled with Diabetes and I '
hope this will be the cause of help
ing many sufferers." (Signed) j
James Piatt. Nat'l. Military Home, 1
Dayton, Ohio, U. S. A.

sults during the past 40 years. As

WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TKT.TOKAFH SEPTEMBER 3, 1919.
the subjects tliat have been taught
heretofore and with the exception
that the work will be departmental
these subjects will be much the
same. In the classical or college
prep sections the glaring difference
is that the foreign languages will
tie begun a year or two earlier.
This conforms to the best modern
educational thought, so the author
ities say.
It is in the courses of the chil
dren who do not expect to go to
college that the greatest difference
is found. The boys of this group
who wish to follow the industrial
game will find courses in class
room, shop and laboratory which
will help them to find out if they
are .really suited for the trade they
have decided to follow or if they
have not made a selection, these
courses are designed to help them
to make a choice so that the per
centage of industrial misfits will be
materially lowered and the eco
nomic and civic value of each in
dividual will be greatly increased.
There is a large range of industrial
subjects, including wood and metal
working, printing, electricity and so
forth.
Girls Have Chance
The girls of the industrial group
have their chance too, for they will
be taught to bake, sew, market,
take care of the home and the thou
sand and one things that the busy
woman finds to do. These things
will be taught in the Domestic
Sciences and Household Arts
courses. They ought to do a great
bit to make the life of the future
homes of Harrisburg more attrac
tive. Many educational authorities
claim that these courses will do
much to help the future generation
give old H. C. L. the final K. O.
Commercial courses will be of
fered to the students of all grades
and General Science, a subject that
has not hitherto been offered will
be offered to a majority of the stud
ents. The purpose here as in the
shop courses is to help the child to
find his or her particular bent early
in life so that they will not be
floaters in after life or be com
pelled to follow that work which is
unpleasant to them in order to earn
a living.
Good Health Necessary
These things are much to be de
sired. but those who are in charge
of the educational interests of the
city wish to give every boy and girl
a chance to develop a good healthy
body because they realize that good
physical condition is at the basis
of all success. For this purpose
they have provided that every boy
or girl of these schools must have
some form of physical training un
der the direction of experts. This
training is also varied so that the
robust boy or girl can indulge in
athletics of the most vigorous
nature while the weaker one will be
provided with those drills and ex
ercises that will help him to be
come strong. Folk dancing will be
a feature of this part of the work.
Strong Faculty Provided
The school authorities have suc
ceeded in forming a very strong
faculty for the Junior High schools.
Prof. Arthur B. Wallize, who has
been elected principal of the Edison
building, said that he is well pleased
with the faculty and the splendid
enthusiasm they are showing to
ward the organization of the work.
Prof. Wallize needs no introduc
tion to the people of Harrisburg for
as former head of the English De
partment of Tech. he has made
many friends among the boys, not
only because he was a good teacher,
but also because he was a good
friend. Mr. Wallize has been work
ing on the Junior High school prob
lems for the past two years, and
has given his undivided attention
to the work since last March. He
has visited the schools of this
nature in many parts of the coun
try. and has well-formed ideas of
what the school should be. Before
coming to Tech. he was head of the
English Department at the Cum
berland Valley State Normal School.
Shippensburg, Pa., head of the
English Department of the Johns
town High School, principal of the
Susquehanna University Academy,
and supervising principal of both
the grade and high schools of Mil
ton, Pa. Prof. Wallize is assisted
in his office work by Miss Ruth M.
Stroh. a very efficient secretary.
'Have Efficient Coach
Eugene Miller (Shorty) is the
very efficient and popular super
visor of Athletics and Physical
Training. During his Central High
School days, he was a popular lad
in all athletic activities and was a
star guard and captain of the State
College eleven, when he was a stud
end there. Mr. Miller was a form
er outfielder on the strong Bethle
hem Steel I.eague, a former coach
at Tech. and a former physical di
rector of the Pine Street Boyd
Memorial Gymnasium. The school
is to be congratulated in securing
him.
Miss Irene M. Burns will have
charge of the girl's Athletics and
Physical Training. She is a grad
uate of the Sargeant's Physical
Training School of Harvard and is
well qualified to care for all branch
es of physical training and folk
dancing.
Teaching Corps
The following will teach English
Literature and Composition: Misses
Naomi P. Bair, Li lite M. Miller, Sue
Sparrow. Annie K. Laurie, Caroline
Sparrow. Rebecca Orth. Elizabeth
A. Dum. Mary G. Edwards and Mary
1.. Irwin. Miss Mary H. Rechdolt
will teach Latin and English. Miss
Helen M. Smith will also teach
Latin, and Miss Julia J. Ryan will
teach English and History. Three
of the above named teachers were
former principals of schools in this
city. Miss Orth was principal of the
Lincoln Building. Miss Edwards
was principal of the Stephen Build
ing, and Miss Ryan was principal
of the Webster Building.
The following teachers have
charge of courses in Mathematics:
Miss Caroline D. Gebhard, Miss
Margaret SI. Sullivan, former assist
ant principal of the Shiminel Build
ing. Miss Sylvia A. Zerbe, Miss Jen
nie R. Eutz, Miss Olga M. Meloy,
and Dr. Denton M. Albright, former
supervisor principal of schools at
Hanover. Pa. Last spring Mr. Al
bright had charge of the baseball
team at Tech and wil i without
doubt l:aye charge of some of the
baseball activities at Edison Junior.
Civics and History will be taught
by Miss Clara P. Segelbaum, Miss
M. Maude Sherwood, Miss Blanche
Meloy, Miss Elizabeth Knox and W.
A. Rrunner. Mr. Brunner has
taught History at Lebanon Valley
Academy. York High School and
Tech. He will also teach some
courses in General Science. Paul B.
Faust, a former teacher of Steelton
and Tech, will also teach General
Science.
Edison High is especially fortun
ate to have the services of Miss
Anna O'Conuel as a French teacher.
Miss O'Connel teaches French by •
tlie direct method and she is well
prepared to do so because as a
child, she spoke nothing but French
until she was eleven years of age.
and since that time the greater part
of her conversation in her homo
life has been in that language.
There is no question but that
Edison students of this language
will be afforded opportunities rarely
offered to high school students. )
Music Is Taught
Miss Iva C. Weirick will teach .
Commercial and Industrial Geog- i
raphy, Miss Gilbert, Typewriting j
and Penmanship, Miss M. 1111 a Ryan ,

have charge of the orchestra and ]
all musical activities of the school.
Miss Edna W. Mohler, a former j
teacher of drawing in the grade ,
schools is director of freehand j
drawing and art and Miss Marion |
R. Lutz is assistant to Miss Mohler j
and head of the mechanical draw- ;
ing department. Miss Lutz is well i
qualified for her work as she has |
had practical experience in the ,
work as a mechanical draughtsman
for the Baldwin Locomotive Works. I
The domestic science department .
is in charge of Miss Anna Mae Ben- :
der and Miss Bently. Miss Bender
was a former teacher of cooking !
at Central High school during Miss j
Hamilton's absence on war service, i
Miss Bently is a graduate of the
Temple University School of Cook
ing and is an experienced teacher.
Miss S. Lorraine Heagy has charge
of domestic arts. She is a college
girl and has taken the academic
courses and has practical experi
ence as a teacher of sewing in Y.
W. C. A. work. Miss Heagy is as
sisted by Miss Bessie March.
Army Man on Staff
The shop work will be directed
by J. Edward Hiller, a graduate of
Williamson Trades who before his j
enlistment in the Army was a teach- |
er of woodworking in the schools in j
Indianapolis and more recently j
mechanical draughtsman for Rob
ert Ross Jones. Mr. Grove, a Har- j
risburg boy who is a graduate of a j
Philadelphia Trades school, with j
several years' practical experience j
in shop work and Mr. Guest, an- f
other graduate of Williamson

shop work. In addition there will 1
be a teacher of electricity, and a j
man in charge of the print shop, a j

Carriers Denounce
Burleson as Czar and
Ask For His Removal
Philadelphia. Sept. 3.—Further !
denunciation of Postmaster General j
Burleson and of the inefficiency of 1
present postal practice, aiul resolu- j
Pons for betterment of the condi- ;
tions of postal employes, marked j
the second days meeting of the let- !
ter carriers convention.
James Forrester, of Toledo, Ohio, !
Railway Postal Clerks, spoke for j
the immediate retirement of Burle- 1
son.
"There can be no peace or armis
tice in the contest between postal ]
employes and the present manage- j
ment of the postal system until the j
autocrat, Burleson, is removed from j
the job he has dishonored —yes, I \
can say disgraced. Organized labor
is with you until Burleson is re- j
tired to his home in Texas, from ]
which he never should have been i
called."
Other speakers supplemented j
Forrester's remarks, among them l
Congressman Henry Goldfogle, of j
New York, of the House committee !
of post office and post roads. He '
pointed out the inefficiency of the j
present management by which it j
took a special delivery letter twelve
days to travel from Washington to I
Cleveland.
Testimony in Case of
Men Charged With Death
of Girl Is in Jury's Hands
By Associated Press.
Groensburg, Pa., Sept. 3.—Testi- 1
mony in the trial of James Craw- !
ford, a farmhand, charged with the
murder last May of Emma Aus- i
traw, 19-year-old school teacher of j
Derry township, was given to the i
jury in criminal court here to-day ;
by Lieutenant Thomas J. McLaugh- i
lin. of the State Police. Lieutenant i
McLaughlin arrested Crawford and j
John Ray, another suspect, who is
awaiting trial in connection vith
the girl's death.

gated the case since '.he girl's dis- 1
appearance April 28, and that ;
Crawford in an alleged signed con- ;
fession admitted being present when j
Miss Austraw was attacked. He tes- j
tided, however, that Crawford de- ;
clared in the alleged confession that j
it was Ray who shot tho girl and I
hid her body in an outhouse on an j
abandoned farm.
The only other witness called was |
State Trooper James A. McHugh. 1
who assisted McLaughlin in the in- !
vestigation.

the State will elect its delegates to;
the convention. Each post is en- !
titled to h delegate and an ulternato i
. and an additional delegate and ui- I
ternate for each one hundred mem- !
bers.
The tentative program for the i
convention has been arranged with I
the idea of giving the delegates the ■
utmost freedom of action. The ;
morning of Thursday, October 2, |
will be given over to registration
I and validation of credentials. The |
j first session of the convention will j
j be held in the afternoon. A chair- |
! man and a secretary for the con
vention will first be chosen. Then j
1 the program for the conventiou w.U |
be adopted and the various commit- |
tees named. Au elaborate entertain- I
ment is planned for the evening.
On the morning of Friday, there \
will be a meeting of the State Ex- j
ecutive Committee and the other
committees of the convention. Tr,
the afternoon these committees will
report and their reports will be act
ed upon. That night there will be
another entertainment.
Final reports will be submitted by
the committees on Saturday morn
ing. October 4. Then will follow the
election of delegates, alternates and
delegates-nt-large to the national
convention to be held at Minne
apolis on November 10, 11 and 12.
It ha been officially announced
, that Pennsylvania will be entitled
; to four delegates and alternates (•>
the nat'onal convention under tlie
| constitution und to one delegate and
j one alternate for each one thousand
, memberships paitl up thirty days
1 before the national convention. In
! addition to these delegates and at
j ternates authorized by the eonsti
j tution of the American Legion, a
number of delcgates-at-large equal
to twice the United States Senate |
and House of Representatives repro- i
sentation is authorized.
The d.rect result of tlie State con
vention will be the cliininalion of
the volunteer workers who have
curried the organization of the
American Legion forward in tills
State. Their work having been com
pleted to the point of making tiio
convention possible, the first action
will be to turn the convention over
to tlie delegates representing the?
