MY MARYLAND.

The ladies who have undertaken to
secure, through the proper channel,
adequate and suitable public school
accommodations for Chestertown, are
rend ering to the public an incalculable
service. The present unsightly old
hulks are unsuited to the purposes for
which they are being used, are poorly
ventilated, are miserably lighted and
are inadequate. The over $50 children
instead Of having ample and suitable
grounds upon which to exerc Sc during
the periods set apart for that purpose,
are turned loose in the public street
(of course within stated bounds, there
being no other place for them to exer-
cise). The health of its children is a
matter of serious concern to every
community and there could be no more
prolific source of injured eyes and
wrecked constitutions than poorly
ventilated school rooms. With due
regard to economy, the authorities and
taxpayers Of Kent can poorly afford to
adopt the vicious "penny wise and
pound foolish" policy in a matter Of
such vital Importance. Mrs. Barroll,
Mrs. Toulson, Mrs. Moody and the
other ladies who have put 10 motion
the timely agitation of better public
school facilities for Chestertown are
due the thanks of the entire commu-
nifty. Every citizen should give an
unqualified endorsement to the matter,
and if that is done promptly there can
be no doubt as to the result. The
surest way to avoid raising up mental
and physical weaklipgs, is to inau-
gurate the changes proposed by the
ladies who are so vigorously agitating

erly ventilated public school building
