In our report of the Gypsy Festival
our haste caused rs to omit the solo OF
Gypsy Jane, Miss Dora Garner, whose
j grace and beauty caused a burst of ap-
pIause. There were others who deserved
especial mention, but of whom we did
not write because we feared to encroach
TOO much upon your space A minor
character In any play in life deserves
credit when well performed, and. we
think. that perfection in the humblest
walk entities one TO a peerage in any
other. We omitted also To mention how
much we admired the willingness i'm
those of other denominations to as
sist charitable cause as evidenced by
the participants in the festival and in
the audience. Sc. Mary's was the cradle
of religious federation and those who
are always stirring up religious strife,
should have Goals of fire heaped upon
their heads.
We are glad To report that Mrs. John
Palmer, . most estimsble lady, is slowly
improving. Between the prayers ~ her
many friends and the skill of her ply
stefan, DIR. X. v Palmer, a miracle NAV
yet be wrought.
Mrs. Charles A. Burch has just return
eel from Baltimore greatly benefited in
health, and brought with her, Miss Lot
tie, her daughter from Notre Dame.
Miss Josephine Garner has recently
returned from protracted visit at Cum
berland and other points.
We have heard with pleasure that Mr..
Webster Hayden, of your district. will
next year reside in the Seventh. We
I will compensate your loss with the album
dance of our gratitude.
The Rev. Mr.. BratenahI, recently in
charge of All Saints Parish. has been
removed by the Bishop to do special
work at Washington, which. while a
compliment To him, has caused universal
regret here.
The Rev. Mr.. La Roche. recently from
Georgia, but formerly at Woodville,
Prince Georges Co, has accepted a call
from the vestry for the summer months
He is gentleman of fine appearance.
an impressive reader and of eloquent
address.
Our two popular summer resorts are
open and seekers of health, pleasure and
rest are already there.
Politicians are quiet here. We hope
that the leaders while looking for pill
lars upon which tn rest the response
bilities of state will not forget that there
is good timber in the Seventh.
The public schools have closed and
our popular corps of teachers have a
long rest before them. 1t is fervently
"OP~N Sh"e ehooc Ah power Will cnuedVDT
to better compensate this most worthy
class of public servants. At any rate
they should not be expected tn live
twelve months for eight months pay.
During the vacation while they are rest
ing and recuperating their exhausted
energies and preparing their minds to
better perform their task they are still
servants of the public. Every consci.
entious teacher gives more of his time
To the public service than the six hours
daily required by law and his pay should
he in proportion to his responsibility
and the quality of the material needed
to fill that position. And nothing is
more true than that those who train
the minds of our youth, should be quail
fed in the highest degree. We cannot
expect to retain the services of compe-
tent teachers on such small salaries.
