Fine New School Building Completed.
The formal opening of the fine new public
school building at Sparrow's Point, which has
been erected at cost of about $4,000, will
take place on next Monday. The members OF
the School Board and many Others have been
invited to be present. The building is well
equipped and is one of the finest country pub
lie schools in America. There is an ingenious
automatic device whereby the bells for assemb-
ling and Diminishing the scholars are rung.
There is also lever for sounding an alarm
for fire drill. This alarm can be sounded at
any time and as long as desired. This is said
to be the only arrangement of the kind in the
world and is the work of the inventive genius
of two of the employees of the Maryland Steel
Company-Mr. A. ]. Woodwork, chief cleo
trician, and Mr.. Charles II. White, OF the
jewelry store. Mr.. r. K. Wood, general agent
of the Maryland Steel Company, who has taken
great interest in the building of the new school,
has charge of the arrangement for the opening
exercises.
The Maryland Steel Company gave the lot
upon which the building stands and con-
tributed 5000 towards its erection. Mr..
Daniel Harding, OF Towson, was the con-
tractor.

Much to be Thankful for This Year.
There is great deal to be thankful for every
year, says the Four Track Negs There would
be more to be thankful for if we were all in
minimize the ills and maximize the good
things of life. And why not? What is gain
ed BY doing otherwise? We only make
thorn path for ourselves to tread upon when
we strew life's highways with the ills and for
get the joys of everyday.
Think what the Puritans endured But
they, amid all their tribulations and sorrows,
found time to be grateful-deeply and truly
grateful-for the blessings that came to them.
Don't be forever putting stumbling blocks
in your own path. Pessimism is pitfall
Do your best to make others happy and con-
tented and you will find yourself so. You
may not be able to explain just why; don't
try to.
Then Thanksgiving Day will mean more to
you every year you live.
