OTHER SCHOOL BUSINESS
The problem of how Is the host way
to establish a continuation school tor
children of school age who are work-ing
again received the attention of
the l< i] School Hoard, at is regular
meeting, Wednesday evening. On
Wednesday Mr. Bowman, Chiel of the
Bureau of Industry, was in West Con-
Bhohocken going over the child labor
and continuation school problem and
later conferred with Superintendent
Weaver, of this borough. West Con-shohocken
district has n; children
subject to the continuation school
law and this district has the same
number. The Whltemarsh district
has 10 boys employed by the l.ee
Tire and Rubber Company and these
children will have to be taken care
of by this district,
, Mr. Bowman suggested mat Con-shohocken
and West 'onshohne-kon
Join in one school and also suggested
the school be establlsed In the local
schools as this district has a manual
training school and ample room to
take care of the school. It was also
sugge ited that sessions of the con-tinuation
BChool be held five days
each week (every week day ei 11
Saturday) and the hours to be - L
M. to 5 P. M. thus giving each child
his or hor 8 itours schooling per week
In one day. It is believed such an
arrangement will be mori satisfactory
to the employers than to have the
children attend school for several
day.; a week in shorter periods.
periods.
it was also suggested that Mr.
i &chall, the manual training teacher
Le api'ointed teacher of manual train-ing
in the new school, his classes
would he held from s to !> A. M. and
4 to ."• f. M . or during hours outside
the regular srle ol |.i riods. It w»s
also suggested that Miss Dottle Rock-hill,
teacher of sewing, could take
charge ol the girls' classes during the
■ame hours. Mr Howinan stated that
, Miss Kartell, of the West ("onsho-
U/ieken schools has a state certificate
entitling her to teach continuation
schools and she might be used as the
ciajs" teacher.
Superintendent Weaver siatrd that
should the plan suggested be adopted
the 102 pupils would be divided inlo
five classes, one class for each school
day. This p'.an would keep the teach-er
busy and the pupils would profit
more than by short periods extend-ing
over several days. The children
would lose but one day from work
and it is believed the plan would
prove the least inconvenience to em-pU>
yera.
However,'nothing definite has been
" decided and t'ne Board referred the
matter to the Teachers and Text
■-.Jfooks Committee and the Superin-tendent
with power to act.
If the plan of consolidating the
continuation schools of both boroughs
is carried out it will be a saving to
each district, and each will pay Its
proportionate share of the cost ol'
operating the school.
The local district has a large room
In the Third avenue school which
can be easily made Into two class
rooms and it also has a well equipped
• manual training school and sewing
department.
The Committee will confer with
the West Conshohocken officials and
definite action will be taken in the
, near future.

I TAX BUTE LEVY
Strong Opposition Against
a Fifteen Mill
Rate
SOLICITOR OFFERS $1000
Umbrellas repaired and covered at
KKHOE'S.—Adv.
The fifteen mill tax rati bomb was
set in position in the West Consho-hocken
Council chamber on Wei m -
daj evening, the match was applied to
fuse, but for some reason il tailed to
explode but Solicitor Donnelly has suc-ceeded
In arousing tho n si of the
heavli si tax payers of I he West bor-ough
and many of them wei at the
Meeting on Town Council to voice
their opposition to raising the tax rate
to the exorbitant figure In order to
lift the borough from its present state
of financial despondency.
Mr. Donnell] stated thai he had
drawn up ^n ordinance calling for a
tex rate to be fixed ol fifteen mills--
the same to be oarrli d for at leasl
three years— as the only possible
means known to him, to bring the fin-ancial
standing ol hi borough to
thing n ar n hi re .1 oug hi to be, and
further stated thai he would like to
have ii prosented to Council for first
.and second readings and then have a
battle royal on the third and
reading.
The Solicitor, talking from the view-point
of taxpayer, stated that he had
looked al the situation from all
and thai he Is thoroughly convi
with the financial condition of the bor-ough,
Mr. Donnelly called attention to the
tact tht 1 $4200 worth of bonds expired
500 more will mature In 1918
and $6200 in 1928. There Is a bill of
11 BOO «111. ■ Jacob 1 lertzog on whicl
1 annuallj bj the
borough and a Pill of BOnle $1200 or
$11 Is due the Electric Light Com-pany.
The Solicitor said that the- bonds
will automatically take care of them-sehea
If the n<aaurer takes the a-niount
that lie should out of the rev-enue
accrueing from the t»X rate. Dut
al the present time, he said, only three
i" r cent* the same as his predecessors
- being taken which Is not a
sufficient amount. He skid thai In ei-der
to tai<,. care of the bonds maturing
In 1918, ii would i„. necessary for the
irer to take al leasl $1578 1
year, but after that, a ten mill rate
would be sufficient to meet the issue
of $6200 due in 1928, provided the
running expenses are paid as al the
11 , time. .Mr. Donnelly is a
strong advocate of a low assessment
and .1 high tax rate. 11,. showed that
with a high assessment the county
treasury would beneOl proportionate-ly
and the money would be used to
paying thi d< bi of the county. He
,'1''"'1 the boroughs of Conshohocken
and Pottstown, where the county paid
for the opening of the street's and
the borough of West Conshohocken
received nothing. He said thai only
once in his expi rlence does he re-m<
mber ol a cent being spent on the
West Borough except where ii M.,S
absolutely nee esary and that pertain-ed
to the bridge spanning the Schuyb
kill river. The one time referred to
was several years ago when the conn-'
ty engaged a force of men to clean
the snow off the bridge when it was
more than a foot deep. On the other
band all of the money from a high
tax rate will yield the entire sum to
the borough for the upkeep of the
streets and other expenses.
Mr Donnelly In order to prove that
he is sincere in his movement and
that he was not trying to rush some-thing
through Council -aid that Us
was taking the step solely in the in-terest
of the borough and to help it
out financially. He said that he had
enough public spirit that he would
give $1000 out of his own pocket if
eleven others would do the same thing
and clear up the bonded Indebted-ness
of the borough.
In his argument against re-bonding
the borough, Mr. Donnelly said that
this step would be false economy and
would he simply robbing Peter to pay
Paul. His object is to wipe out en-irely
the present debt and be in a
position to permanently pave Corel
and Front streets to cope wiih the
magnificent new structure which is
sure to be built across the river
within the next few years. In closing
his remarks the solicitor said that if
some one else had a better plan to
relieve the situation without raising
tho tax rate lie would be willing to
assist In whatever way he can. or if
the majority of the taxpayers are
willing to trudge along in the manner
in which they are he is willing to
abide by the majority vote.
A number of the business men who
were present at the meeting voiced
their sentiments on the situation.
The first called upon was Heese P.
Davis, of this borough, a member of
the firm of William Davis Jr. and
Company, one of the largest business
enterprises in tiie West Borough and
a former Burgess and a councilman
when a number of important reiialrs
were made on the West Side.
Mr. Davis bitterly opposed the in-creased
tax rate. He said that ac-cording
to his belief, the borough is
no worse off financially than it was
when he was a member of Council.
During iiis term Josephine avenue]

Bullock avenue was raised! entailing
1 at amou 11 of e\p. Dse. Al thai .
time additional bonds were sold and
in i" llevi d the same proci dure would
oven ome the presi al si) l itlon. 1 le
deplored the tact of allowing the
to go unrepaired tor s period
of three .Mars, or until the present
Indebtedness be wiped out by increas-ed
taxation. Mr. Davis referred to
the amount saved last year and said
that no borough ever makes Improve-ments
out of ti.eir appropriation as it
all Of this money to make or-dinary
repairs. He said that he
thought the Finance Committee
should go over the situation and hit
on some other plan than a fifteen
mill lax rate. He also Bpoke of the
outstanding taxes and said that if
they were collected more closely that
the situation would be much better-ed.
Mr. Smyth, who retired from Coun-cils
last month, was called upon and
said that he agreed with Mr. Davis.
lie said that the increased tax rate
would work ti hardship on the com-munity.
He said from a real (state
point of view nobody Will buy prop-erty
in the borough. He said the bur-di
1 will lay heavily on the citizens-
He favored equalization of taxation
Mr. Coarn-ide said that he believed
the matured bonds could be met in a
manner satisfactory' to the holders.
He bell ivea that the new council
should be given some money with
which to work. He believes in
getting the streets first and encour-age
the people to come here. He be-lieves
in equalization of taxation. He
1 hat the citizens are masters of
.luation and that they should
si ■ to a just assessment. In closing
his remarks he said that "if you don't
ail • the tax rate you must float
more bonds."
.1. Kiil'iis BaiT sounded the keynote
Of the black eye delivered the borough
by a threatened act to compel
the borough to conduct its busi-ness'
on a proper basis, lie said
thai he was accosted in Philadelphia
by a gentleman who desired to know
what was going on In this borough
that such threatening action was
necessary. Hi said thai he thought
the present councilmen should not be
made the scapegoats, and expressed
his implicit faith in them as a gov-erning
body and well able to dis-charge
the duties reposed In them ln
a manner justifying to themselves
and to their eonstintents He also
favored equalization of taxation.
George Stuckey and John Smith,
two other property owners, expressed
their confidence in the councilmen if
lite people would back them up and
give them some money with which
to make some of the needed repairs.
Burgess Cameron also spoke on the
issue and took sides with those who
believe that some other means can
be devised to meet the issue aside
from the increase in the tax rate.
George Entwistle, a newly elected
member from the First Ward, was
th" only councilman to express him-self
on the issue. He spoke of the
amount of money paid off by the last
Council and expressed his belief that
if bonds were re-issued to meet the
ones matured and Council continue
as they have clone during the past
year, that the borough would be plac-ed
on a sound footing Within a tew
years.
A meeting of the finance Commit-tee
of Council has been called for

THIRTEEN GRADUATES
Tor the first time i i its history the
School Board, has taken definite not-ice
of the dress of the graduate.--, cora-m.
in men! day. Secretary Campbell
brought the nutter beforo the" Board
Baying that commencement day has
been an occasion for the girl gradu-ates
to appear in handsome and costly
toilettes and in many instances it has
been a burden to pan nl-. Mr. Camp-bell
said lie believed this unwarrant-ed
expense could be abolished If the
graduates were to appear at the ex-ercises
in a Cap and gown He also
said lie believed ii would give the ex-ercises
a more scholastic appeal ance
and that the idea would meet with
favor from both graduates and parents
The hoard agreed to the suggestion
and the matter was referred to die
Teachers' and Text Books Committee.
The Board will supply the caps and
gowns to all the graduates both male
and female. The time from the com-mencement
was set for Friday even-ing,
June li.'tli, in the high school
auditorium. This is another change.
The exercises have always been held
in the afternoon but the Board con-sidered
it would meet with popular
approval to have the exercises in the
evening as the weather conditions
will be better and it gives an oppor-tunity
for more persons to attend
without inconveniencing themselves.
Superintendent Weaver was auth-orized
to select a speaker.
The end of the first semister or
fall term of the public schools was
ended on Wednesday when promo-tions
were made in all the grades.
The promotions are not made by
written and oral examinations, ihis
method of test having been abolished
s vi ral years ago. The promotions
are made on the record of each pupil
for the term. The record of each
pupil is kept by the report car sj»-
stem and the standing in eacli study
is computed by the pupils daily re-cord
in recitations and by regular
held during the term
ln the high school there is no win-ter
graduating class this year as the
four year course in the high school
was instituted last September a year
ago extending the time for the gradu-ation
of class for that time. I.ast
year the June class finished the work
in three and one half years and this
year's class baa completed the whole
course. Next winter there will be a
class and at the end of each term
thereafter, there will be a February
and June class.
In the high school the pupils are
advanced by studies. The students
in each class choose the different
courses and as the studies are com-pleted
and the required marks made,
the students are advanced to higher
studies.
The work in the schools for the past
term lias been very satisfactory'- It
is the first time departmental work
has been tried here and it lias proven
very successfully. The reports and
the work of the pupils has shown a
better efficiency owing to the teach-ers
being permitted to teach the sub-jects
in Which Uiey, themselves, are
most proficient.
The senior A class is the class to
be graduated in June and is compos-ed
of thirteen members.

Coach of Local Champions
Gives Up the Game for
Good
INJURIES PROMPT ACTION
Local foot ball followers will learn
with the deepest regrei thai BUy
Pownall, coach and quarli'rhock of
the Conshohocken champions during
tin' past two seasons, has retired
from fool ball for good and according
to his own statement, Will positlvel)
not be connected with any team in
the future.
A rumor reached the Recorder of
fice 0:1 Monda) that Pownall intend-ed
to quit the game and yesterday
an interview was held with him in
Philadelphia. When the great little
player was asked to make a state-ment
for publication he said that he
did not care tor newspaper publicity
and Hut her said that "You can say
that 1 will not be in Conshohocken
next season.
When pressed for a reason for giv-ing
up the game that lias made' him
famous throughout the college world,
Pownall stated that it was owing to
tiie injuries he has received in the
game.
last season was iprobably the hard-est
season thai Pownall has ever
passed through in all his career as
a foot ball player. His ability as a
clean gentlemanly player was well
known to all of the teams that came
hi re to play and each one invariably
made special offers to "get him,"
With the ultimate result that h\ the
close of season, he was a physical
wreck and grave tears were 1 nter-tained
for a restoration to his former
excellent condition. When seen yes-terd
iy Billy Bald thai be was ft •
; vi II as 1 ' r, but the injury to his
I which he threw out in the game
with Biliiken on Thanksgiving Day
baa not rounded IntO shape. He has
playing baski I ball with the Gar-net
team, ol Philadelphia and sevi ral
during the season his leg lias
gone hack on him.
Pownall expects to play base ball
during the coming season and will
probably be si a 1 in a* tion in the
.Southern League. He has been a
player In the minor league for sev-eral
years.
Pownall first came into the lime-light
as a foot ball player at Irsinus
College where his wonderful playing
was Instrumental In bringing the
name of thai institution into front
rank., of loot ball. While a member
of that team lie had the proud dis-tinction
or defeating the University
of Pennsylvania in their annual game
in Mill.
From Civinits College he went to
Albright College where he was just
as prominent In the athletic events.
There probably was never a headier
player on any foot ball team than
Pownall, although be had a thorough
knowledge of the game. It was with-out
n doubt his generalship, while a
member of the local team, thai has
made Crawford's combination the
greatest team in the East and won
for it the prestige enjoyed during
the foot ball season.
Pownall is not only a great player,
B clever coach and an excellent gen-eral
during a game, but ho is a per-ti
ct gentleman at all times, it is the
Combination Of the above essentials
that have- won for him the praise
and admiration of not only the fol-low,
is of tho teams on which he has
played but visiting rooters and play-ers
alike respected him for his ex-cellent
qualities and fair treatment
Bj his retirement, tho town and
local team have suffered a severe
loss and his place will tbe hard to
fill. The game has lost one of its
ablest exponents.
Local fandom will be sorry but his
brilliant playing will always be fresh
in the minds of his hundreds of
warm supporters here.
