Martin Ebelts murder of his wife IN one
of the suburbs of New York is one OF the
latest sensations of that city. The crime
was revolving, and great ingenuity was
shown by the murderer In conceallng EVIL
eences Of his deed; but he failed at the
critical point. He selected the spot Tor
tho murder and the place where the BODY
was to be hidden, and then enticed MS
wife to go out there with him, and he had
no trouble In strangling her to death.
He then concealed the body in the broken
part of big sewer. Right there was MS
great blunder. In few days boys play

ported it to the police. with the result
that the husband was arrested and now

MARYLAND DAY.

Maryland Day was generally observed
throughout the schools of this county on
Wednesday, the 25th instant. 1t had
been recommended by the State Board of
Education that this day would be Il fit
ting time when the history of the early
foundation of the State should be es
pcciaIly brought to the attention of the
pupils Of the public schools.
OF the original thirteen States none
has more interesting history than
MARYLAND. 1t was founded under favor
able circumstanc one of its original
principles being freedom of religious
teachings. From the time of the landing
at st. Clements on the 25th of March,
1884, Maryland has taken a prominent
part in the history of the United States.
Its SONS have always stood ready and
willing to answer to their country's call
anil especially i'll the Revolutionary War,
it contributed large quota of troops to
bear arms against the unjust oppression
of the British. We are all proud of our
native State, and it is but right that the
feelings of the elders should be indellibly
stamped upon the younger generation,
while their minds are in shape to be more
easily moulded, to take the places in the
world among the men and women of to.
morrow.
No doubt in many of the schools the
exercises were of more or less meagre
nature, but this is the beginning ola move.
ment which will grow each recurring
year. and hereafter the teachers will be
in much better shape to have more
! elaborate programme of exercises.

CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS.

Mr. Albert S. Cook, formerly principal
of the Bel Air Academy, but now sccre-
tary of the baltimore County School
Board, recently delivered an address be-
fore the Woman'; Club of Roland Park
on "The Consolidation of Rural Schools. u"
He said:
"The most important educational prob
lem before America today is the rural
school problem. Great progress has been
mace in building country schuolhouses,
in furnishing libraries, textbooks, suita-
able apparatus and better trained teach
ers during the last quarter cf Il century,
but rural school advancement has not
kept pace with the progress in city schools
and State universities. This is due to the
natural ultra conservatism of our rural
popula ton, to the abandonment for the
city and West of farms i'll the East and
to conditions inherent in the isolated one
room schoolhouse itself, where organiza-
ton and graduation is almost impossible,
where nepotism and personal favoritism
on the part of local school trustees too
often prevent efficient and continued effort
by the teacher, and where the environ
mcnt is too narrow to broaden the intcllec-
tual horizon OF the pupils by active rivalry
and keen intellectual competition with
others in his class.
The advocate of consolidation no
longer occupies debatable grounds i'll a
BODY of schoolIncn. 1t is conceded by
State and county superintendent and
other administrative school officers every
where that the most rational solution of
the country school problem lies in COM
bining the small, isolated school units
into larger ones and transporting the
pupils to and from schools at the public
expense"
Mir. Cook then discussed the causes
which turned attention to consolidation,
among them the high cost of maintaining
separate schools, decrease i'll rural popu-
lation, especially in New England, and
luC great liISlCSiSS III LilS lLtIIIDSl VI Sltllhl
schools, the large farms Of the Middle
West and the consequent large area OF
thinly populated districts. MIR. Cook
showed the results Of con. ,,iGation by an
Illustration in Ohio, and then discoursed
on the advantages, among them better
grading and classification and greater
| efficiency.
