Fewer Gallons Wears Longe
Accommodations Inadequate.


Reports come to us from all directions, of
applications for summer board here that can.
not be granted. The houses in town are full
and applicants are being so informed from
all quarters. To our certain knowledge more
than twenty-five requests for accommoda-
ton we're declined last week and the num-
Der was probably much greater.
Our town is thoroughly advertised: it is
more than favorably considered and it Is
much TO be regretted that those who take
summer boarders do not have larger houses
and that there are not more Of them We
are of the opinion that several ten or fifteen
room cottages, adjacent to each other would
prove to be paying investment and there
are several localities right near the town
where such thing would be feasible. An
other season should find Thurmont in po-
sition to provide accommodation for all ap
plicants and many more could be secured by
little judcious advertising OF the fact that
new and ample accommodations had been
provided.
Thurmont is, today, well and favorably
known as a summering place, in both Balt-
more and Washington; it is the first choice
of large number of people and their inf1u-
ence will bring others if they can find places
Such an advantage should be made the most
OF IN the future. 1t is Thu.mont's opportu-
nifty.

Has anyone heard from the Tabard Inn
Library people? We are a subscriber, taken
nosns polens, by their astute agent, Mr..
Fox, and we have just that much personal
interest in the matter, besides having been
sought by others in quest Of information. If
the requisite number of subscribers has been
secured, some definite statement should haye
been received ere this; if not, one OF two
things should be done by the Tabard Inn
they should send another agent here to COM
plete the work or the several amounts paid
should be returned to the subscribers. We
are of the opinion that the former is desired
by those who have become subscribers and
1t can be readily accomplished by the right
kind Of a solicitor.

The High Schools.

BY a regulation adopted by the Board of
School Commissioners it will be required in
the future that attendance at our county
High Schools shall number twenty and shall
average fifteen.
This does not appear at first thought to be
a large attendance or high average, but it
is fact that at one or more SCHOOLS these
figures have not always been maintained
Inasmuch as failure to meet these require
ments will be followed by reduction in the
principals salaries it follows as matter of
course, that efficient teachers commanding
better prices as they are more or less capa-
BILE, those communities which fail in their
support of the High Schools may hope only
to find them retrograding in efficiency and
losing caste and standing. In some sections
of this county the proximity of high schools
now established may be proving factor in
the determination OF this problem of attend
ance, but IN the case OF the Thurmont school
there does not exist now, nor in the light of
any promise for the future are there any dis.
coverable grounds for apprehension that
limited territory may become serious con-
sideration. 1t is not at all probable that
high schools will be established within the
present radius of this schools tributary ter.
ritory, hence no new conditions are to be
met here, but existing conditions are not
wholly satisfactory either to the principal or
to those who feel an interest in the rank aud
character OF the school.
A just pride in the school IS one of the
community's most meritorous institutions
in which public interest is manifestly an OBJ.
legation fixedy laid upon all and from which
no one may be absolved by the accident of
circumstance that he has no longer, never
had, or may never have children to become
beneiciaries of the school.
Regard for the recognized principle that ed.
ucatiou as provided for by the State is essen.
tal to good citizenship is sufficient motive
and those who dispute or deny that principle
are few, hence the duty Of the citizen is
plain one.
A kindly and constant influence of all the
people, supplementing an earnest and per-
sistent campaign Of soliciting on the part Of
the principal, trustees and school commits
sioner nearest the school, should result in not
only providing against the penalty of low
er priced principal due to failure to meet the
required average attendance, but the pres
ent roll of pupils should be materially aug
mented--at the very least, doubled.
Let those who have a real interest in our
High School avail themselves of our oft re.
peated proffer of these columns: discussion
will serve to make some think who never
give these matters thought: we not only af-
ford you the opportunity, but in the interest
of our people, we urge 1t upon you to avail
| yourselves thereof.

one of the feet of bis driving mare and there,

the watch charm, entirely unframed. Even
under the laws of chance, if there are such,
this recovery must be considered remarka'

And the Star spangled Banner the pride of land
Upheld by our statesmen, upheld by each hand:
Floats now as forever, from Hottest heights,
Through years of vast struggles It safely has passed
And reached an era of peace unsurpassed.
And shoulder to shoulder each one Of us stands
Each State held together by strongest steel bands
With eyes full of pride on that GAG let us gaze,
And then to the earth all its enemies rare.
Let each heart fill with rapture and swell with delight
As we look on that grand and beautiful sight.
