posed New Institution To Be Lo-
Gated AT Calvert

a special from College Park, Md,

cipalShip OF the new agricultural high

pose by the Cecil School Board. The
building contains three rooms, and to
it are attached II acres OF ground ceded
to the original proprietors by William
Penn, and to which the Society OF
Friends still holds title. Prof. Samp-
son is a graduate OF Iowa State College

rect the proposed school. which marks
a notable advance in education that
promises to work good results He and
President Sylvester. OF the Maryland
Agricultural College, met Commission
cr Carey and Superintendent Biddle at
North Fast and drove to Calvert, where
Commissioner JcnneSS and a number Of
prominent residents of the neighbor-
hood greeted them and discussed plans
for the proposed school, the opening OF
which will be welcomed and the work
ri which will be watched with interest
by the people oi the county and State.
y hitch in the plans has arisen. how
ever, a> Prof. Sampson wants $1,000
salary. and the School Board has but
$500 available.
