Washington county is one of the richest
counties of the state, yet it is stated that the
schools there will close On the 3D. of May.
This is cheating the boys and girls of the
county out Of half years education. Tho
disposition to make vacations of from four
to six months in the public schools Is nigh
ty bad thing for Maryland. 1t means that
the progress of the state is hampered and
delayed. The wretched politics that afflict
our public school system are not only de-
plorable, but criminal. We do not know
that such a charge could hold against the
Washington county management, for we are
not acquainted with the local conditions, but
for such county as Washington to close its
schools at the beginning of May is certainly
unfortunate. baltimore american.
And the bigger and richer county of
Frederick closes her schools on the 10Th Of
