Schools Face To
Meet New Needs
Cost Reduction : Demanded
While Enrollment Grows
~ Steadily
Harrisburg, Aug. 3—Changing con-
ditions bring new responsibilities to be
met by the public schools in the face
of ever-growing demands for economy,
Dr. James N. Rule, Superintendent of"
of Public Instruction, said today in de-
scribing the job ahead - in pulling the
schools through the depression and
preparing for the future.
The Department of Public Instruc-
tion has announced a suggested pro-|
gram of school recovery. One of its
main features is reconstruction of the
instructional program for ,schools of
the future. The task of the schools is
described as tremendous for they must
serve the varying needs of increasing
numbers mow demanding education,
without adequate equipment, text
books and supplies, The statement/con-
tinues:

proved successful, it was announced that an ‘air train,” comprising a ‘locomotive’ biplane and
three glider ‘‘cars,” wouid carry mail in a trial flight from New York to Philadelphia, Baltimore,
The gliders are towed in the fan formation pictured above, and not in line, each
being hitched by separate rope to the “locomotive,” and each being “cut loose” as it reaches the city
week.
“The schools of Pennsylvania are
rendering outstanding service in;
making for improved living conditions, |=
in raising the standards of literacy, in
training for vocations, in the develop-/
ment of sound citizenship, and in pro-
viding for future welfare.
Criticisms
“Many of the criticisms of the school
are based on some single unsatisfac-
tory condition. The best of our present
civilization, largely the result of the
work of education, justifies our faith
in what the schools can do. This is
shown by the many fine)communities
developed as the result of sound edu-
cational enterprises. Communities de-
teriorate rapidly without the advan-|
tages of education.
“The school cannot function properly
minister to the needs of growing, alert |
and active young minds.
“If the needs of youth are to be ser-
ved, the program must be adequate
from the standpoint of both general
and vocational training. Properly or-
ganized schools can contribute much |
in the war against crime and the build-
ing of better communities.
“The schools must be subject to
change and must go forward with ad-
vances in agriculture, commerce, and
industry. Any attitude of self-satisfac- |
tion on the part of the schools should |
be resisted both by educators and lay- |
men,
“People of Pennsylvania have de-
monstrated their faith in public edu-
cation. They realize that without
schools there would be no provision for
fitting youth for activities in which
they are expected to take part.
“Today 2,000,00 school children and |
the thousands of youths, out of school, |
unemployed, look to education, and to]
the friends of education for help and a
way out.”
How Long Texas |
Was Republic
On March 2, 1836, Texas proclaimed
her independence, and maintained it
when Gen. Sam. Houston's army de-
feated Santa Anna at the head of
1,500 troops in the battle of San Jacin-
to, April 21, 1836. In 1837, the United
States, England, France and Belgium
recognized the new government and
Texas remained independent until an-
nexed by the United States on Decem-
ber 29, 1945
How Much Heaviest

Records of the heaviest horses are

a little more than 3,600 pounds.

How Salmon Leap Falls
The bureau of fisheries says that a
‘salmon in attempting to ascend an ab-
'solutely perpendicular fall will leap at
the fall from a much broader angle
and probably touch the water at about
two-thirds of the heights from there.
If the fall is not too high, the fish can
reach the top by energetic swimming.
It could not ascend a 15-foot fall all
the way from the bottom. It is possi-
ble that if the pool at the foot of a 15
foot fall were deep enough for a good
start, a salmon might succeed in
mounting it.
A Score For Scotland
The longest tunnel in the world is
that running for 15 miles through Ben
Nevis, Scotland. It is really a pipe
line for an electricity scheme.
How Old Rifles Were Loaded
In loading with the old style of cart-
ridge for muzzle-loading rifles before
ithe Civil war, the paper over the pow-
{der was bitten or twisted off, and the
{powder poured in, the bullet being then
inserted and rammed home. [In the
first breech-loaders, similar cartridges
{were used but trouble developed
{through the escape of gas from the
breech to the mechanism and the met-
allic cartridge was developed to obvi-
ate this difficulty.

We all know too, that in 1933 Penn-
sylvania contributed practically half of
|the amount spent for relief in the State
and that while Pennsylvania taxpayers
| were providing these huge sums, the
taxpayers in many other states were
escaping nearly all relief taxation.
While the Federal Government was
paying half of the Pennsylvania relief
load, it was paying more than 75 per
cent in many other states, an average
of 95 per cent in another large group
of states, and in at least one state it
was paying the whole bill.
The reason we have been able to
avoid a special session so far is that
we have been able to impress the Fed-
eral authorities with the fairness of

Compared with many other states we
have done far more than our share.

from organizations or from people who

facts or wilfully misrepresent those
