of course, the wrong man for the place.

Duncan Sinclair, president of the
Board of School Commissioners, was
in town Wednesday and for few
minutes he and the JOURNAL were in
mutually unprecedented collision.
Mr.. Sinclair says the Normal School
project started about year ago in
the Board, the plan reaching perfection
lately. With attention fixed upon the
Allegany Academy building as the
place, no other location was dreamed of
until Frostburg's claim broke in like
nightmare upon what seemed to be a
good thing for everybody in general.
In the line of his duty he wrought
for the accomplishment of the enter
prise, and having no occasion to think
of any other place, he, with his col
leagues, naturally became committed
to Cumberland-from the beginning.
1t is his hope, however. that the
location will be determined with full
regard for all the claims of those who
want it. He believes that each place
has strong advantages over the other,
and that the decision, whatever it be,
should be made after the most careful
survey of the situation.
Everyone who knows Mr.. Sinclair
will recognize in this statement the
attitude of public servant whose
wish is to do the very best without un-
fairness to the majority of those most
concerned. He feels, however, that he
should take no backward step, and,
Slightly approaching the JOURNALS
usually able logic" he regards him
self as standing for the county's inter
est rather than that of any place. The
State Board of Education, in his judg-
ment, Is the proper umpire.
Should all these things work to-
gether for good" the JOURNAL hopes
to be able to fully acknowledge any
error it may have committed in warm
congratulations to Mr.. Sinclair over
Frostburg success. His faith in State
School Board wisdom will then have
moved mountain.

In Honor of Washington.
Last Tuesday evening the Gladstone
annex was the scene of very pleasant
and successful affair. The occasion
was Il select dance given by Dailey's
orchestra in honor of Washington's
birthday.
The spacious and elegant dance hall
was prettily decorated with large and
small American flags and bunting,
while across the hall, from corner to
corner, Japanese lanterns of all colors
were hung in profusion. The main
entrance and those leading from the
dresslng-rooms We're also tastefully
decorated and. added to this, the bright
costumes worn by the ladies made up
most pleasing and splendid spectacle.
Over 20 couples attended, among
them many visitors from nearby
towns.
Dancing was commenced at 0 clock
with the orchestra playing "The Red,
White and Blue and continued until
midnight, when to the inspiring mel
ody of 1.-The Star Spangled Banner"
the dancers took their departure after
expressing themselves as delighted
with the evenings entertainment.
The dance was conducted by Will. J

ed by Messrs. James Davis, Thomas

Talking of these coatlets brings me
to the subject of lace, and I would
counsel you to secure as much OF this,

most distinctly a lace season, ana the

and you will be quite safe in investing
