amount of bad behavior, particularly
on Broadway, among the public school
pupils returning from school. When
the snow is soft that thoroughfare is
not only unfit but unsafe for travel.
We learn praiseworthy effort was
made at the school to abate the nuis-
ance, but it was met with some adverse
criticism. A strong endorsement of
outrageous conduct, and correspond
ing condemnation of legitimate effort
to suppress it, is given out. The
public will take notice that it must
submit. Is the public ready for the
surrender?
At Odd Fellows Opera House Mon
day night the disorder among the
boys evergreen all tolerance. The
most indulgent parent, if he or she
were present, could not fail to see
that the wickedness which prevailed
among the juveniles was of the most
deliberate and atrocious description.
Mr., Duprez records that "ths system
of domestic education in Sodom and
Gomorrah was not superior to ours. ;
Mr.. Benedict was speechless--no
words at command to express his
view of the tendency of the juvenile
Frostburg mind. Mr.. Trevellick stated
here that there were no boys in
Frostburg your masculines are either
men or babies"
There is screw loose somewhere.
We cannot believe many parents
are aware of the excuses to which
their boys go. Manya boy-a very
model of decorum at home-is ambi-
tious of head-devilism abroad. The
penitentiary and gallows are located
somewhere further along this road,
and those who are thus permitted to
start upon and travel it will owe it
only to good luck if they pass by
such institutions safely.
Where is the loose screw?
II is in the household
Give us skeletons in the close" -
"vacant chairs" etc., good Lord,
rather than tenements of character
growing TO tumble.
1t is sometimes said in a consolotary
way-"gone from the evil to come. !"
Is that true of the dead little ones
the shining msrks2' If so, why
not prepare those left with an es-
pecial view of meeting and overcom-
ing the inevitable "evil?"
Certain it is, if great pains are not
taken in this matter, many Frostburg
parents are laying sure foundation
for an edifice of character which, tot
tering to its fall, will bring with it
gray hairs in sorrow to the grave
MEyERsDALE REDEEMED-Not so
Much a Blackleg Region as ii Was =
We observed last week a gingerly ref
