Meeting Of Grange.

The Montgomery County Pomona
Grange held its April meeting at Brigh-
ton. on April Both. State Master Pat
terson reported good progress this quar-
ter. Five oranges have been organized
in Kent county, two in Carroll county
and one in Frederick, bes ides additions
to membership everywhere. Post Mas
ter General Myers plan of postal pro-
gross was discussed and endorsed.
This includes the universal parcels post,
the rural route package deliveries, and
Postal Savings Banks. The National
Grange will meet in Washington Nov
ember 10th, and will be a fine oppor-
tunity for this section to get in touch
with that important body and it's per-
sonnet. State Forester Besley gave an
interesting address on the Farm
Wood Lot" Burning cut underground
is almost criminal and pasturing nearly
as disastrous. Cut out mature and de-
clining trees and give young ones a
naples and gums so walnuts, oaks and
hickories can get air. He will personally
examine wood lands and advise with
farmers on thinning which must be done
with skill, and on setting out trees.
Nuts and acorns should be kept out of
doors through winter in box of damp
sand to get started, and if planted in
fall, treated with red lead or tar to keep
squirrels from eating them.
Noxt meeting will be In picnic style
at the Experiment Station, July 30th.

What Boys Should Know

The true education of boys is to teach
them what they ought to know when
they become men.
First-To be true and to be genuine.
No education is worth anything
that does not include this. A man
would better not know how to read and
be true and genuine in action rather
than be learned in all sciences and in
all languages and be at the same time
false in heart and counterfeit in life.
Second-To be pure in thought, Ian
guage and life pure in mind and
body.
Third-To be unselfsh; to care for
the feelings and comforts of others; to
be generous, noble and manly. This
will include a genuine reve renee for
the aged and for things sacred.
Fourth-To be self reliant and self
helpful even from childhood; to be in
dustrious always; and self supporting
at the earliest possible age. Teach
them that all honest work is honorable
that an idle life of dependence on others
is disgraceful.
Fifth-When boy has learned these
things. when he has made these ideas
part of him, however poor or however
rich, he has learned the most impor-
tant things he ought to know

Change in School Law.

The following synopsis of recent
Act of the General Assembly will be of
interest to our county teachers:
The general educational law enacte
at the recent session of the Legislature
provides that all white teachers holding
a first class teachers certificate and
having taught for a period of three years
in any public school of Maryland, shall
receive as salary less than $3.50 per
annum, and provides further that il
such teacher holds a frst-class cert-
f1cate and has taught for a period OF
five years, he or she shall not receive
less than $500 per annum, and if such
teacher holds first class certificate and
has tau ht for period of eight years
he or she shall not receive less thar
$3.50 per annum, and provides that if
such teacher holds second class Ger:
tifcate and has taught for a period OF
eight years, he or she shall not receive
less than $3.50 per annum, The law
further provides that the county COM
missioners of the several counties shall
levy sufficient amount to meet the in
creased salaries provided for in the act
The act is to go into effect August 1st,
1908, and none of the counties are ex-
empt from these provisions.
The point in the law is that several
counties will have to increase their tax
levies to comply with the act. Another
point is distinction to be drawn be-
tween teachers holding ''first-class
certificates" and those of the second
grades. In other words. teachers hold
ing certificates of the second grade may
be entitled to the same increase in sala
ries as teachers of the first class hold
ing certificates. The original bill pro-
vided fer increase in salaries of teachers
holding only first-class certificates, but
it was amended in the House, and
hence the ambiguity.

MIR. EDITOR

MR.. EDITOR:
In these days when we hear so much
of submitting everything to the people,
the death cry against rings, comolna-
lions political, the argument that the
office should seek the man, and that the
Executive should not be fettered by po-
litical considerations, or recommends
tions in making judicial appointments,
ii is strange to hear that when the
County Convention next meets for the
purpose of sending five delegates to the
State Convention, and five delegates to
a Congressional Convention, said Con-
vention is to be packed, if possible, for
the purpose of passing a resolution en-
doIsing a certain gentleman for the APP
pointment of Associate Judge year
from now. and also for the nomination
wear from now. In other words
democratic County Convention, as one
county in the circuit, is to dictate to the
Governor who. of all the lawyers OF
Prince Georges, Charles and Calvert,
he must appoint year from now when
Judge Merrick's term expires, and the
domination, as far as Prince Georges
County is concerned, is to be settled
now, more than year in advance. and
therefore that every democrat is to be
governed by the dictation of delegates
elected for another purpose, and "no-
body else need apply" In the face of
the fact that it does seem common de-
cency to the Judge now on the Bench,
and common decency to the lawyers
why may have ambition, requires that
not only the Governor should be allow
ed to exercise his Constitutional discre
ton, when the time comes when he is
required to execute it, and that the dem
ocratic people should have right to
exercise their discretion when the time
comes to nominate, but that any lawyer
who is eligible, and there are more than
one, two, three lawyers, who at least
are supposed to be eligible, and, with
due respect, competent, who may desire
to submit his claims to the Governor
and indeed to the people, should at
least be allowed to be considered. Ger
tainly no one would be bound by any
such proceeding. If, of course, Con
vention called for one purpose can bind
people in advance for other purposes,
then the foundation of Democracy 10
gone. Conventions are supposed to. be
fresh from the people, but these people
are certainly "fxers," but they should
remember that the people are jealous VI
their rights, and that Governors are
also mindful Of their rights. and that
he act of unauthorized bodies control
no one. II is to be hoped that no such
effort as this is really being made to
smirk the ermine, and that any gentle
man who may be appointed may at
least be free from the charge that he
stacked the cards. This is written
with no reflection on any one and with
a high regard for each and every gen,
tlcman involved and by one who as
lifelong democrat believes in giving
every fellow affair show for his white
alley" and who sincerely believes that
if any such gun is loaded that it will
hurt the huntsman more than the game.

DR.. Ira Remsen and Capt. Richard
W. Sylvester, members of the Highways
Commission, and Chief Engineer w.

The commission met about 100 citi-
zens from Riverdale. Hyattsville and
Bladensburg at EVANSVILLE about 8
o'clock and hearing was held relative
to the completion of the boulevard be-
tween Hyattsville and Washington,
Several spoke in favor of macadamizing
the present turnpike through Hyatts-
vile and Bladensburg, while Capt. al
lace A. Bartlett and Charles B. Calvert
favored a new route paralleling the
electric railway and connecting with
Rhode Island avenue.
Mayor Owens, of Hyattsville, spoke
in favor of the present turnpike. He
said it was necessary to complete the
boulevard to Washington without de.
lay. and that the expense of securin G
the right of way and the condemnation
of property necessary to construct the
boulevard over the electric railway
route would amount to practically
100000
Mr.. Calvert contended that, looking
to the future, the route should be along
the electric railway: that this section OF
Maryland was fast becoming suburban
community, and that the electric rail,
ton. Captain Bartlett said that the
Holiday Land Company was willing
to donate sufficient land for the new
route, his company owning about half
of the land over which this route would
go. Messrs. W. A. Brooks and VIM
P. Magruder. Town Councilmen oil
