Sherwood, N. G. R. R.-There is Just now
great kick among the people along the line
of the Northern Central Railway, whose homes
are in Baltimore in winter, and who have
small quantities of milk shipped to them daily
from their country places. This also extends
to producers who are daily shippers of small
lots. Formerly the charge by the railroad for
these shipments was uniformly cents per
gallon. Now, however, the rate has been
raised and it is 10 cents for cans ranging from
to gallons. This high tariff is what has
caused the kick. A number of small cans are
shipped from this station daily and the people
are indignant at what they regard as an i'm
position. Some time ago committee called on
Superintendent Kapp and presented the case
to him, but thus far nothing has come of it.

Hnlen Road, 9th District.-I trust that
he matter of consolidating the county schools
will not be allowed to sleep. 1t is unquestion-
ABLY the best plan yet proposed to make the
country schoolhouse attractive to not only the
children but the parents of the children. Our
School Board should take the matter up at
once. Baltimore county, the wealthiest and
most densely populated, should act as an ad-
vance guard for the balance of the State in
every movement lOOklnB W ucItOi SoFO. hihoht
and what is more important in our entire sys'
tenn than the public schools2
l hope every body will take enough interest
in the movement to study it and it will appeal
TO all, for the benefits are so many and the
drawbacks so few. Let the School Board at
least try it somewhere as soon as it can be car
ried out, and give the people an opportunity to
see its practicability.
New methods must be adopted to meet new
conditions and one of the new conditions is
the steady decrease of farm labor. The young
men and bows are drifting into the cities and
who can tell how much of this drifting is the
result of our present system OF education
This one fact ought to have powerful int1u-
ence in getting away from the old and trying
this new idea, even if it does come to us from
the West.

mule veteran 'Tohe," who is in fine con-
dtion for the coming seasons work and in
