SAT ON THE LAWN ALL DAY Girls and Boys Rebel When Required to Associate with Foreigners and Negroes—Attending School Out of District Forbidden. Pittsburgh.—Because they were or dered to attend the Franklin and Forbes schools; of the Oakland and Hill districts, in which they lived, when the school term opened, 200 boys and girls refused to enter tho school buildings, and, to voice their protest against being compelled to as sociate with foreigners and negroes, sat on the lawn all day. The pupils were orderly, but did not fail to make their protest known to the teachers and of ficials of the schools. In past years it has been the custom, especially In the Hill district, for many of the children who reside there togo to schools in near-by districts where the surround ings and associations were more con genial to them. Many parents have absolutely refused to allow their chil dren to attend the Hill district public schools, owing to the fact that most of the pupils attending those institu tions are children of foreigners and negroes. This year, under the new school code, pupils are compelled to attend public schools in the district in which they reside. The customary transfer slips allowing a pupU to at tend a school In another district were refused, and all children were in formed that they would be compelled to attend the district school. This the greater majority of them refused to do, declaring that they would not at tend schools where the conditions were repugnant to them. Many of the children said their parents had in structed them to protest against being compelled to associate with ne groes and foreigners. The officials cit the schools in the district are in a Quandary. Snake Hid In Bass Horn. Altoona.—En route to McAlevy's Fort, Huntingdon county, to give a concert, the newly organized brass band of Mooresville ran into the best snake story of the season. They trav eled the nine miles in a hay wagon. S. H. Lightner, a game warden musi cian, sitting with the driver, espied a three-foot black Bnake snoozing along the road. He slid to the ground, seized the reptile by the tail, and, just for the fun of the thing, gave it a toss into the midst of the bandmen, who were all togged out in new uniforms. In their efforts to get away, some of the party fell off the sides of the wagon. Before the bandmen recov ered from their fright, the snake, see ing the inviting hole in Huller Isen berg's big bass horn, sought refuge in the interior of the instrument and dis appeared. Huller nearly shook the horn to pieces trying to get the reptile out, but it "sat tight," defying all his efforts. Finally a brother musician, with a sireak of originality in him, suggested scalding it out. When the band arrived at its destination a ket tle of hot tea was secured, and the snake came out so quick it all but got away. Assails School System. Scranton.—Prof. W. D. Lewis, prin cipal of the Philadelphia high school for girls, severely criticised the high school system in an address delivered before the Teachers' Institute when in session here. He said he voiced the unrest everywhere manifested in reference 'o the systenrof public edu cation now in vogue, and with others shared the belief that boys and girls were not properly equipped for life's work by the studies generally pur sued. The modern high school. Pro fessor Lewis said, "is a process of taking a boy from where he isn't to where he doesn't want to go." We need more men and women in the skilled arts and trades, he declared, and the school training does not pre pare them for that field of livelihood." War on Chestnut Blight. Hazleton. —Charles A. Benney, of Philadelphia, field agent for the Penn sylvania Chestnut Blight Association, came here to give demonstrations. He issued notice to all chestnut tree own ers to communicate with him so that steps can be taken for the elimination of the blight in this part of the State. The chestnut crop here is about equal to the average this year. The coal companies own most of the land on which the chestnut trees stand. Recovers Rings She Forgot. „ Corry.—Mrs. W. H. Lappe, of Atlan tic City, while traveling with her hus band, entered the washroom of the Union Sta'ion, removed her diamond rings and forgot them. When she came back they were gone. Officer James Stevens found a woman who had taken them and recovered them. Lawyer's Tumble Ends Seriously. York.—E. E. Allen, an attorney, waa severely injured when he fell down a flight of sieps at the Northern Central Railway subway. KEEP GROUNDS FORCHILDREN Instructor Thinks School Board Should Continue Work. TO USE AS CHILD CENTERS Says Teachers Should Be Employed to Organize Exercise* of Chil dren —Supplement Efforts of Park CommiEsion. (Special Harrisburg Correspondence.) Harrisburg.—ln connection with the Social Center idea which is taking hold in this city, J. K. Staples, super intendent of public playgrounds, sug gested the use of the public play grounds as "child centers" to be ÜBed all through the fall and spring after school hours. "Why not use the pub lic playgrounds as centers for the amusement and physical education of the children of the city. "What is the use of closing down the playgrounds when school opens?" asked Mr. Sta ples. "Wry not utilize these public grounds until snow and cold weather interferes? It would be the best sort of an investment for the city school board to employ competent instruc tors to keep up the work of the play grounds after the vacation period." Harrisburg Backward. "Other cities of this size," said Mr. Staples, "are away ahead of Harris burg in the matter of physical educa tion. There should be a physical su perintendent who would organize an athletic league between the different schools, and teach popular games such as the children learn on the play grounds in the summer. The of this department would be a supple ment to the work of the Park Com mission in developing the physical nature of the child. In the grades and in the high schools there is some training at the present time, I under stand. However, the work is very limited and not at all far reaching in its results. With such an athletic de partment in the curriculum of the •chools, the play nature of the child is satisfied and the modern idea of growth and development of the physi cal as well as the mental nature of the child is properly met." Playgrounds Statistics. Mr. Staples, in Ills annual report to the Park Commission, will show a remarkable increase in the attendance at the city playgrounds. Last year the attendance totaled 40,345. This year the total will be nearly 50,000. The attendance at the public bath houses will likely fall below that of last year owing to the coolness of the season and the many rainy days of this summer. Three Active Canals. Only three canals in the State are now classed as active on the records of the Bureau of Railways, which is charged with the duty of securing the reports of all lines of communication. The Bureau is now receiving the an nual statements of business of the railroads, street railways, canals, steamship lines and telephone and telegraph companies in this State. It operates as a part of the State De partment of Internal Affairs and is separate from the State Railroad Com mission Ten years ago eight canal companies were carried on the list of corporations required to make reports by August 31 euch year under a penalty of $5,000 fine, but now the number has dwindled to three. The Pennsylvania canal, which was one of the greatest of the systems, has passed out of existence and other ca nals have been filled up or else be come a part of other systems. The three canals reporting are the Dela ware and Chesapeake, the Delaware and Hudson and the Erie, the two former in eastern Pennsylvania and the latter up in Erie county. New Orphanage Opened. The new brick schoolhouse at the Odd Fellows' Orphanage, east of Sun bury was dedicated with special exer cises. The following program was car ried out: Invocation, the Rev. Simon Sipple, grand chaplain; dedicatorial address, Herman Roller, grand master of the state, and addresses by the fol lowing: Robert Montgomery, grand marshal; E. C. Wagner, president of the orphanage board of managers; J. W. Stroh and Miss Virginia Mull, grand warden of the Rebekahs. The children of the orphanage rendered a literary and musical program and the Mount Carmel male chorus sang several selections. A large number were present at the exercises from all parts of the state. State Tax Payment. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany sent $199,631.79 to the State treasury in payment of state fax on gross receipts. Conscience Hurt $1 Worth. State Treasurer Wright received one of the smallest contributions to the commonwealth's conscience fund that has reached Capitol Hill in many years. The contribution amounted to one dollar and was accompanied by an unsigned letter which gave a rea son which mystifies officials to tell whether the state c r a contractor had been defrauded. The sender wrote that while the Capitol was being fin ished he had visited It several times and had picked up small portions of gold leaf used in gilding oraajsanta.

Farmers in Berks county report themselres in readiness for the frost, all danger of delayed crops having been passed. The harvests, they say, are above the average and the pre dicted shortage in the potato crop will be supplanted hy an extra supply of high-grade tubers. Charged with "making too much noise," J. W. Frease, the pioneer auto mobile owner in Somerset, was arrest ed by the authorities in Schellsburg, Bedford county. His discharge was gained only after expert testimony cf doctors, other tourists and the like that a little tooting of the horn is not hard on the nervous system. First awakening their victim by throwing stones at the door of his home, four men made a vicious as sault upon Joseph Homiak, of Dia mondtown, Northumberland county, when he appeared in his night clothes to investigate the racket. Homiak re ceived a broken jaw, several fractured ribs and numerous cuts and bruises. Chief Rurgess Albert Startzel, of Mount Carmel, had a miraculous es cape from death at Snydertown, when an upright boiler burst within ten feet of where he stood directing a building operation. Pieces of the boiler were thrown high in the air and several horses which were being used in the work were bruised and stunned. State health officials in charge of the smallpox epidemic in Carbondale, Lackawanna county, traced the origin of the forty-two cases to a man who came to Carbondale from Seattle, Wash. He was treated by local physi cians, but the fact that he was suffer ing from smallpox was never report ed. Dr. J. C. Hunt, who is in charge of the situation for the State Depart ment, is positive that the present epi demic is directly traceable to this case. Elk county farmers are troub'ed over a contagious disease affecting the eyes of cattle, which seems to have gained a foothold. There has been reported one case where the cow so afflicted has gone totally blind, another case where the animal is gradually getting worse, and another instance is cited where the entire herd is afflicted. The only cure is said to be the European method of injecting a mixture of snuff and sugar into the animals' eyes. Carlisle has collected $l2O in auto speeders fines in three weeks. The Allentown Democrat directs at tention to a little matter of history when it relates that thirty-four years ago three men daily delved in the mountain at a poin* about a mile be ,low Slatington for gold, which they claimed was hidden there, according to the "Seventh Book of Moses." They succeeded in reaching the rock under which the gold was supposed to be, but beneath they found nothing but common everyday dirt.
