AS the Normal School topic Is now
uppermost, it will be interesting to
future p ipils to learn the ten com
mandments as "unofiicially compiled
by young lady student" of the Bal
more establishment. and captured by
the Baltimore Neaes for publication.
They are as follows:
FuSt-Thou shalt sympathize with no
other school before thee.
.Second-Thou shalt not make unto thyself
any friends of any college boys, whether III
the class above or the class below in which
thou art thou shalt not walk with them or
tlirt with them for we, the teachers of this
school, are jealous of its department, and
whosoever shall break this command shall be
visited with dement's to the third and fourth
degree of five.
Thrd-Thou shalt not call thy teachers by
their last names, for they will not hold them
guiltless that taketh their names in vain.
Fomth- Remember the first Friday in
every month to keep it halfholiday; all
other days shalt thou do thy work, thou and
thy schoolmates female teachers and male
teachers ianitreSses and tiremen that are
within this building, for on all other days the
commissioners make few laws, but on this
day they meet at the school for consultation
and make this day a hali-holiday for the
students.
FUH-Honor thy teacher and study thy
lessons that thy days may not be long in the
school which the Mayor hath given thee.
Sjrh-Thou shalt not kill time.
!Serenth-Thou shalt not take flowers from
bushes on the lawn.
EighM-Thou shalt not peep into books
during recitation
NnH-Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighborS when questioned
against their misdeeds.
TenM-Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor' S
Latin exercises geometry problems, or
algebra questions. or anything that is thy
neig ghbor's,
"FrOstburg.'
The Cumberland Ne,cs "desires to
participated in some ''congratula-
tions" it thinks ''are in order for the
citizens of the town upon the noun
tain"
This is not only apt but nice
But the Ners intlicts wrong when it
says
it is hoped the bellicose scribes of the
Frostburg newspapers will not take otfense
at our wishes that the success of the school
will be marked and the benefit to Frostburg
by its location there will be great.
Speaking for the whole tribe of
''bellicose scribes of Frostburg news
papers," the JOURNAL assures the
Ne,rs that they are overjoyed at its be-
lated joy. They not only gratefully
accept Its good wishes, but they look
kindly upon the Spanish-like intirmity
which kept it from backing down
sooner.
And yet the Ners did not know what
was fully apparent here-that Frost
burg could and did make presenta-
tion of claims for the county which Cum
berland, already overloaded as bene-
ficiary, could not possibly formulate.
Hence the occasion which justites
the Ne,cs in saying:
There was degree of eagerness manifested
by the residents of Frostburg that developed
hustling qualities in the effort to secure the
school,
And which makes the following note
so eXtra-tremendously opropos
The tendency to hustle is credit to any
community and deserves success in the at
tainment of all praiseworthy objects.
Now, the JOURNAL is entirely frank
in conceding that the triumph was
won for the county.
AT the same time the password of
the old towns campaign for the Nor
NAL School, from first to last, was
