TRAMP HAD TO BE SHOWN.
His Scheme to Get an Apple Did Not
Work at Grocery.

"OTN At SfOCSTJs
Sir, said the tramp to the grocer
as he turned his back to the hot stove
and looked longingly ut basket Of red
apples, the returns TO the agricultural
department this year show that the APP
pie crop reached the enormous yield Of
over 150,OG0,000 barrels. saying nothing

Don't doubt it at ALL" said the
grocer.
Under those circumstances doesn't
it look to you as if you might spare
me one single apple?"
Not at all"
Sir continued the tramp as he
backed two inches nearer the stove.
''all medical men are agreed that the
apple is Il necessity to human health.
The system needs the phosphates con
tanned in such fruit You agree with
me, do you?'
Il would have agreed with you a
year ago, but now it's different. Some
thing better has been found. See
here"
And he took the tramp by the shout

him a shove out into the cold world.
The man returned. looked through the
window and said:

MATTERS EDUCATIONAL.
Column Conducted By The Garrett
County Teachers Association.

There are great revolutions tax
ing place in educational matters.
Schools are conducted very differ
emily from what they were in the
days that our grandfathers went to
school. Among the many radical
changes that have taken place is
that one of not using the rod
as it used to be. The theory
today is to spare both the rod and
the child. However, one of the
most marked differences between
the old and the new education is in
the standards Of school. building
construction. The change is not
seen so much i'll Garrett county as
it is in the cities, but within a few
years the movement will be felt
here; however, as it is today, the
school buildings in Garrett county
are being built much better than
they were twenty-five years ago.
Not long ago, in Baltimore, fear
less lecturer said:
Il met a farmer on the road and
asked him: What did that little
red school house over there on the
hill cost?'
" Two hun dred dollafs.
" What did that barn over there
cost.
" Two thousand dollars
" What have you got in the
school house.
Children
' What have you got in the
barn
" Cows. "
The lecturer then pointed out
that the new education stands for
something better than this condi-
ton of affairs 1t asks, "Aren' t
your children as valuable as your
cows?"

frequent examinations; we keep
their hearts in the work by means
of reading circles and county insti-
tutes; and yet the schools of our
county are behind those Of every
other section of the State; the
question is, Why?
| We were told that we must have
nine months term. But, are
we ready for it?. In most of our
rural schools the teacher finds
herself unable to begin actual work
until the winter has set in, and so
closed all chances of the children
obtaining outdoor employment.
Again in the spring, her attend
ance becomes visibly diminished.
Can a nine months term accom-
plish any good result when the
children do not attend regularly?
Frequently, in answer to an in
qulry as the course of yesterdays
absence, the teacher receives such
answer as, Mamma needed me at
home, " or II had some work to
do, " from these facts we can draw
but one conclusion. Parents, it is
your fault that your child makes
no progress.
To place our schools on a higher
basis, the parents must change
their point of view. The average
father Of Garrett County makes a
small, but comfortable living. He
expects his children, as soon as
they are old enouge, to aid him in
tie struggle for bread. When
circumstance are such that they
cannot help in that struggle, he
turns them over to the school
teacher, then thinks he has done
what he can, and dismisses the
matter from his mind. In this he
is wrong, He should contrive
to have the children attend
regularly. If in no other way,
but by giving them all winters
schooling in turn, without any
absences to the one attending, and
then have the one who is doing
the work at home study with the
one attending the school. The
parents aught to see that they
study at night at home. There
are born teachers who can take no
better assets than fragmentary
attendance and indifferent parents,
and so interest the children that
they will work oftheir own accord.
But those teachers are sadly very
scarce, especially so in Garrett
County; the average teacher must
depend upon the parents.
Such being the case, let US make
it our business to help out the
teachers. Let us not look upon
the school and the teacher as sort
OF necessary nuisance. Let us not
get the habit of sending the child
to school only when we can find
no other place for it. Rather let
us send that child every day, and
trouble ourselves to see that it
studies out of school. When we
can do this, then let us have nine
months school. Then we will
find this extension of time follow
ed by the county having a better
corps OF teachers, tor better ones
will come here and will stay, for
then they will have employment
for nine months, and not for only
seven and half; as it is today,
IN any excellent teachers leave this
county to teach elsewhere, and
many are kept from coming to
teach in this county owing to the
shortness Of our term; they go and
stay, these excellent teachers,
where they can get employment
for nine months each year.

WHEN GRANDPA WENT TO SCHOOL.
The Baltimore Sun" in a re-
cent issue, published the following
short article under the above head
ing. However, it should be well
understood by the people of this
county that the school board is
not the body to be blamed with
the shortcomings which may APP
pear in our educational system;
the board acts simply as the spend
ers of the money which is placed
in their hands by the people of the
State; they cannot spend more
than is given to them by the tax
payers. The schools can progress
only as the people grow in SYM
pathy with the movement, and are
willing to spend money which will
promote the interests of our
schools; the people must be willing
to have the children kept in as
well-built houses as are those in
which the cattle are protected.
However, great advancements
come slowly.
The article from the "Sun +"
reads as follows: I'm former DAYS
the school house was meager af-
fair in both country and town. In
the country it was a little ram
shackle building, with one chin
ney and door, and water bucket
behind the door In winter it was
heated by stove somewhat less
than half as big as the house.
Those who managed to get places
near the stove roasted and those
who didn't froze. The school was
ventilated" by raising all the
windows at once, which furnished
employment for the family doctor
for weeks to come. In town, it
was not much better, the children
being huddled into ill-suited. i'll
ventilated rooms in crowded sec
tions. Today, the large cities and
some of the smaller ones have set
new standard Believing that
children are the most important
asset of the community, whether
that community be a vast metrop-
oils like New York Or a growing
young town, taxpayers all over the
country are voting for schools
worthy the name.
The following article has been
received for publication in the
series;
A PLEA FOR SCHOOL SPIRIT.
Much has been said in our series
o. articles concerning the influe ce
on our schools of the teacher, the
trustees, and of the school board;
but to my mind as teacher, these
must all become secondary to an
other unmentioned influence, the
point OF view Of the parent.
