Many of the young men of Oakland
and other sections of the county who
spent the holidays with relatives and
friends at home, have returned to their
respective schools. Among those who
left Oakland yesterday were Philip
PeddicOrd, Ralph Thayer and Ernest
Ashby. for Western Maryland College,
Westminster; Paul Naylor, for the
West Virginia University, Morgantown,
and Milton Sincell, for Gettysburg Col
lege; Miss Rose Mitchell, for Mary
Baldwin Seminary, Staunton, Va.
An Illinois editor retired from journ-
alism and his goodbye" is chronicled
in the following language: The under
signed retires from the paper with the
conviction that all is vanity. From the
hour his paper was started to the pres
ent time he has been solicited to lie on
every given subject, and can't remem-
berlhaving told wholesome truth with
out diminishing his subscription list or
making an enemy. Under these cir
cumstances of trial, and having a thor
ough contempt for himself, he retires
in order to recruit his moral constitu-
ton.
Mr.. Robert E. McQuay, general
manager of the Maryland Lumber Com
pany, new corporation which was
chartered recently by the Circuit Court
for this county, departed for the west
Tuesday afternoon on business con-
nected with his company. The officers
of the corporation are DR.. j. Gilbert
Selby, of Eglon, president; DR.. Benz.
F. Selby, of Oakland, secretary and
treasurer, and Mr.. McQuay, general
manager. The capital stock of the
company is $1,000 fully paid up. The
object of the corporation is to manu-
facture and deal in hardwood lumber of
all kinds.
A slandering tongue is more to be
dreaded than the most loathsome rep
tile that crawls upon the face of the
earth for he will give warning before
he strikes you-but a slanderer never.
Let man or woman start on the down
ward road to ruin and we are all prone
to step aside and cry out, ''slide on.
slide on, to destruction Instead of
stretching out the hand of brotherly
love and staying their progress, we
stand by and let them slide. He who
can stoop down and lift up his fallen
brother from the mire and place him on
his feet and whisper sweet counsel in
his ear and bid him go and lead better
life, is truly benefactor to the race.

A Good Institute.

The literary and local institute at Ac-
cident as programmed for the 21st and
22nd of December was pleasing sue
cess.
On Friday evening the program was
well rendered, Prof. Browning adding
much to the interest of the occasion.
We've never witnessed a more re
spectacle audience and better order at
this place, which speaks well for the
good people of Accident and community.
On Saturday at $50 a. M, about
thirty or forty teachers with number
of other friends of education met in the
public school building for regular insti-
tute work.
The devotion of the morning was con-
Quoted by Commissioner Bishoff in a
most reverential manner.
In the absence of President F. Z.
Rathbun, Supt. E. A. Browning was
chosen chairman of the meeting. Heat
once assumed the duties of this office
and ia delightful and practicable pro-
gram was rendered. Many beautiful
thoughts were given and tangible sug-
gestions were made by Prof. Browning
and teachers of the county.
The teachers present took most in
teresting and active part in the work of
the day, a very commendable thing for
the young teachers to do In this re-
spect, at least, we have made much
needed improvement in our institute
work.
Prof. Herbert Browning, of Friends
vile, and Prof. Alvin Loudermilk, of
Deer Park, were present and rendered
efficient service.
The address by DR.. Hudson on 1.-THE
Moral Side of Education was greatly
appreciated.
The splendid talks by Prof. Kim.
Welch and others booked for the after
noon session were omitted on account of
adjournment at one o'clock.
Judging from the interest taken by
teachers and friends present we believe
that the problem of local Institutes is
being rapidly solved-th credit for
which largely belongs to the influence
of the Garrett County Teachers Assc-
citation.

Christmas Festival Of Anderson
Chapel Sunday School.

The drilling. practicing and prerara-
ton of weeks by members of the Ander-
son Chapel Sunday school, of Swanton,
eliminated Monday evening, December
oath, 1906, in fattering success. In
the fullest meaning of the term this was
typical Christmas Eve, with the win
ter temperature Of our mountain heights
Intensified, and just enough snow to
make sleighing tempting. A light
snow was falling, and the outside air
was crisp and searching but within the
chapel walls all was glowing, bright
and happy. Indeed the walls had almost
disappeared behind their embellsh-
ments of evergreens, festoons, wreaths
and numerous artful shapes evidencing
the work and finish of cunning hands.
Young eyes with Christmas in their
flames ran in delight over the long rows
of tables and receptacles ladened with
the most choice delicacies for child and
man
A well devised and most creditable
programme announced that the enter
tainment would begin at 7.45 p. M,
but in advance of that hour the seating
capacity of the church was packed by
children and goodly number of repre-
sentative citizens paying the high trib-
ute of the most respectful attention.
To follow the range and diversity of
the order of proceedings delightfully."-
relieved and interspersed by music APP
plicable to the festal season would i'm
pose an unreasonable encroachment
upon space for this publication, but the
entertainment was highly successful
and enjoyable in every feature and de-
partment.
Six gold-star medals were presented
to the six pupils ranking nearest per-
lection in the scholastic requirements
of the year and about fifty presents and
prizes were awarded
1t was stated by the superintendent
that the mother church of this school
was founded on our American Continent
with the earliest English settlement at
jamestown, Virginia, in 1907 thirteen
years before the Pilgrim Fathers left
the shores of Europe for Plymoth Rock.
That those adventures built stockade
and then an Episcopal church in which
the famous Indian beauty, Pocahontas,
married John Rolfe about the year 1914,
and in their second church in 1919 the
first Congress ever held on American
soil assembled; and that in 1889, nine
teen years after the arrival of the Pill
grims at Plymoth, they built their third
church of brick with a stone tower a
part of which still remains as the oldest
piece of masonry reared by the hand
of man in this great land now of more
than eighty million of people.

/. Heating Plant Out of Commission.

The boiler which supplies heat at the
public school building in Oakland was
put out of commission during holiday
week by the freeze, which burst every
section of the boiler and many of the
water pipes leading to it, necessitating
the installation of new apparatus at a
cost of about three hundred dollars. AS
a result of the breakdown the public
schools will not reopen for the after
holiday session until Monday of next
week.

His busy hands are folded,

HIS trials now are ended,
And a heavenly crown he's won.

And in heaven wen meet again"
When you ask us do we miss him
Yes; it fills our heart with pain:
But his spirit softly whispers,
Weep not, in Heaven Wen meet gain. -
Fold his hands in silent slumber--
For his work on earth is done;
In his dream he saw the Master
And He beckoned him to come.

ADAY IN SCHOOL.
1t may be helpful TO some one to have
related the work of one day in my
school. The teacher should be the first
to arrive at the school house, unless
there be a janltor.
The first ringing of the bell, even a
hand bell, should be at some stated time
before the opening of the school. The
pupils should be trained that the second
ringing of the bell means prompt as
semblage and perfect quietude. At this
time the day should be dedicated by de-
votional exercises. This devotion should
be brief, well adapted, and always most
reverential to Him who ''doeth all
things well.
A word as to the nature of these
morning exercises. We teachers need
to be exceedingly discreet here from an
educational standpoint We should feel
a deep sense of our responsibility in
shaping the plastic spirits of those in
our care. We should endeavor to i'm
press upon them that all good centers
in the Divine Mind, and must emanate
from God. Hence, it follows, that a
teacher should take her religion into the
school room, but sectarianism never.
AS a form of exercises, suggest
that after all are quiet, the teacher tap
the call bell for all to stand and render
short song, after which all bow their
heads and engage in silent meditation
and prayer, the close of which should
be indicated by the teacher again tap
ping the call bell, whereupon the pupils
quietly seat themselves. All this should
be done in deep reverence, otherwise
we might miss the real object of the
devotion. Occasionally the entire school
should repeat the Lords prayer. This
would break the monotony and still re-
tain the highest ideals.
The day thus introduced, the program
of recitations should begin, each branch

MATTERS EDUCATIONAL.
Column Conducted By the Care It
County Teachers Association.

The plan of having articles published
each week relative to the public schools,
which was set forth in THE REPUBLICAN
last week, is meeting with the hearty
approval of the teachers throughout the
county. A large number are now pre-
pairing articles upon the subject of edu-
cation which will soon be published.
Many replies have been received, and
the spirit of enthusiasm displayed in the
responses encourages the Teachers
Association in its work of creating
new interest in education throughout
Garrett county.
The following letter is being mailed
this week to every teacher in the coun-
ty:
To the Teachers of Garrett County:
The Garrett County Teachers Asso-
citation is exceedingly anxious that you
will help it in it's efforts to arouse a new
interest in education in this county. In
order to do this there are three depart
ments of our system which will have to
be improved: the teaching force will
have to be better fitted forts work; the
parents must be urged to give more CO.
operation to the teacher; and the trus-
tees must be urged to take a more ac-
tive part in the work of their schools.
By having articles from time to time
published in the county press, it is hoped
that the parents will cooperate more
with the schools than they do now. and
in the same way it is thought that the
trustees will be spurred on to do more
for the school which is under their
charge. Better schools will never come
until they are demanded by these two
factors in our system. And everyone
feels confident that the newspaper ar
ticles will arouse the trustees and the
parents so that they will take more in
terest in our schools.
But the teacher. who will help him in
this advance movement? He must help
himself. The Association is providing
an opportunity for the instructor to fit
himself better for his work. by having
articles published each week, in which
teachers give and receive inspiration
and ideas in their work VIII you en-
brace this opportunity for self-improve-
ment? Will you contribute any good
idea which you have found to be eX-
cellent in your work in the school room?
The best wins a prize of $500. And
will you before January 18th, return the
enclosed postal, after having signed
your name and having obligated your
self TO read the articles published in the
county papers?
The success of this venture depends
upon your cooperation. Take part in
this work Of the Association as you
would have the trustees and parents
take part in the work of your school.
Join the movement of advance and
answer at once.
