COUNTY HIGH SCHOOLS.

The reports that are coming
in, detailing the commencement
day events of the Maryland
counties, are interesting in many
particulars, says the Baltimore
American. In the first place,
it is interesting to note that the
country schools of high school
grade have greatly multiplied in
this state during the past twenty
years. There is scarcely a town
of 1000 population that does
not now have a school that pro-
vides a course of training above
that of the grammer school. In
many towns attractive buildings
with special facilities for the
high school depar tment have
been provided and the high
school commandments are, in all
cases, important events.
The county high schools are,
almost without exception, on the
coed" plan. Young men and
young women compete for hon
ors in the same classes. It is a
notable fact that in pretty much
every one of the graduating
classes of the county high schools
this year, there are from twice
Do four times as many girls as boys.
But for that matter pretty near
ly as large, a disproportion is
observable in the city high
schools. In two county high
school reports just at hand there
were in one instance seven girls
and three boys in the graduating
class and in the other case seven
girls and just one lonesome boy.
The explanation of this pre-
ponderance of girls in the high
schools must be that the girls,
more than the boys, comprise a
leisure class. Families often
need the earning capacity of the
boys and as the boys are expect
ed to get into some trade or
business, it is thought best that
they should be placed in position
to gain the practical knowledge
which they will need as bread
winners.

RAILROAD
Bulletin.
JUNE ON THE GREAT LAKES

R~estful, delightful, interesting, and instructive, there
is no trip like that on the Great Lakes, those inland seas
which form the border line between the United States and
Canada. And June is one of the most charming months In
the year in which to take the trip.
For comfort the fine passenger steamships of the Anchor
Line have no superiors. AS wen-appointed as the palatlal
ocean greyhounds which pillow the Atlantic, their schedule
allows sufficient time at all stopping places to enable the
traveller to see something of the great lake cities and to view
in daylight the most distinctive sights of the lakes, and the
scenery which frames them.
The trip through the Detroit River, and through Lake
St. Clair, with its great ship canal in the middle of the lake,
thence through Lake Huron, the locking of the steamer
through the great locks at the 500, and the passage OF the
Portage Entry, lake and canal, across the upper end OF Mich
igan gre novel and interesting features.
The voyage from Buffalo to Duluth covers over eleven
hundred miles in the five days journey. Leaving Buffalo,
the steamships Juniata, Tionesta and Octorara, make stops
ar Erie, Cleveland, Detroit, Mackinac Island, the 500, Mar
quette, Houghton and Hancock, and Duluth.
The 1910 season opened on May 81, when the Steamer
Tionesta made her first sailing from Buffalo.
The Anchor Line is the Great Lake Annex OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and the service measures up to the
high standard set by the 'Standard Railroad of America"
An illustrated folder, giving sailing dates Of steamers,
rates of fare, and other information is in course of prepare
ton, and may be obtained when ready from any Pennsylvania
Railroad Ticket Agent, who is also presa red to book passen-
gers who may desire to take this trip through the Great
Lakes and back.

Equity No. 1869

TINE OBJECT of this suit is to pro
l. cure a decree for the sale of Ger
tain property in Prince Georges Coun.
ty, in the State of Maryland, of which
property a certain Mary E. Morris, was
seized and possessed, at the time of hel
death in said County, in the year 1906,
and to procure a division among the
parties interested of the proceeds OF
said sale.
The bill states that the said Mary E.
Morris died in said Prince Georges
County, State of Maryland, during the
year 1906, intestate, and a widow anC
leaving as her sole heirs at law the
following named persons, viz. the Com.
p~lainants, George Douglas Strong ano
Sophy Strong, children of Rosalie,
a daughter of the said Mary E. Morris,
the said Resale having married the
Complainant; ]. Hunt Strong, and the
said Resale Strong, having died, intes.
tate, in the year 1908, also a daughter
the defendant M. Susanna Morris, I'M
married, also a son., F. Jerome Morris,
who is of age and unmarried, also a son
Barker Morris, who was under twenty
years of age when the bill was filed,
but is now ove twenty-one years of
age, also a son, James Morris, infant,
being the defendants above named.
That at the time of her death the said
Mary E. Morris was seized and possessed
of certain tracts of land situated in
Aquasco District, Prince Georges
County, State of Maryland, and con-
tanning Eleven Acres of land, more OF
less, excepting from said tracts a tract
of land containing about three-fourths
of an acre of land, more or less, which
the said Mary E. Morris sold to a cert
ain Albert Dent during her lifetime and
for which he paid but for which tract
the said Dent has received a
deed, said tracts of land being more
particularly described in the Exhibits fill
ed with the bill as a part thereof. That
said real estate is not susceptible of
partition without great loss and injury
to the parties interested therein, and
that in order to make division of said
interests it will be necessary that said
real estate be sold and the proceeds
thereof divided amongst the parties ac-
cording to their several interests there
in. That the said F. jerome Morris,
Barker Morris and James Morris, are
non-residents of the State of Maryland
(the said F. Jerome Morris having al
ready, however, answered the bill con-
senting to the relief as prayed).
1t is thereupon ordered on this 14th
day of June, 1910, by the Circuit Court
for Prince Georges county in Equity,

of this order to be published in some
newspaper in Prince Georges County,
Maryland, once in each of four success

Morris, infant, of the object and sub
stance of the bill, warning them and
each Of them to appear in this Court in
person or by Solicitor on or before the
3rd day of August, 1910, to show
cause if any they have why a decree
should not be passed as prayed.

DUSTLESS ROADS.

Nh. w. W. Crosby, the chief
engineer of the State Road Com
mission, will attend the inter
national conference Of road engt-
neers this summer and will then
be able to gather all the latest
experience as to dust-laying pre-
parations, says the Baltimore
Sun. To discover some substance
which will not be too expensive
and which will be sufficiently en-
during now engages the attention
of the road-makers. Most of the
oils that been used are so thin
that in a year or two they wash
away. If the binder is made toe
thick, it hardens and cracks OF
is ground into dust. The favor.
tie material is the Texas and
California petroleum, which has
a bituminous base, but there has
been no general conclusion that
this is the best that can be had.
Mr.. Crosby, it is stated, has beer
making a careful investigation
of this important matter, and his
coming visit to the road confer.
ence in Europe will enable hin
to learn what other engineers
have found out.
There can be little question
that the State roads in Maryland
should be rendered dustless, il
possible. To fail to make then
so because of the cost-unless,
indeed, the cost should be founc
excessive and prohibitory- -woulc
be penny wise and pound fool
ish." If a good dustless binder
can be used at moderate expense
it is more than likely the cost Of
holding the dust would be saved
in repairs in a short time. More
than this, the comfort and health
of travellers as well as of jewellers
by the wayside should be consid
cred. In the counties where
limestone is used for metaline
the roads the dust is Away:
most oppressive. Limestone i:
soft, and the heavy wagons useo
in those counties grind it into
very fine white powder, which
lies an inch or more deep OF
some of the turnpikes. Al
automobile, or even a horse
vehicle, stirs this powder into ;
binding and suffocating cloue
Of dust. 1t is said that in Eng
land the dust has had the effec
of killing the wayside hedges.
There is one proposition which
will commend itself to all patri
otto and broadminded citizens
That is, when the State under
takes to build a road it shoult
build it right.

NOT A LIFE LOST.
West Virginia Proud of Its Record
for Last Year.

Blueield, w. Va. Especially One hun.
dred million tons of coal mined in West
Virginia without the loss Of a single life
by dust or gas explosions is the record
made by this State I'M the ] y months. end..
ed with June 80 last. This statement is
made by Charles Conner, assistant chief
State mine inspector, who declares the
record never has been equaled in any
mining community. Incidentally, he de-
clares that West Virginia now occupies
second place in the list of coal producing,
States.
In the year ended last June the mines
of West Virginia thus far reporting pro-
duced 54,348,O00 tons, and 81 additional
shafts are yet to be heard from. When
all reports are in it is estimated that the
coal output of the State will be APP
proximately 6O,OO0,O0O tons. This win
be an increase of l4,O0O,O0 tons over
the year ended in 1909.
Greater Vigilance ON the part of the
State Mine Department is given the
credit for the decrease in fatalities among
those who work under ground. Since
January, 1909, practically no additional
laws governing mining have been placed
on the statute books of the State.

CONTINENTAL UNITED
STATES.
Expected to Show 100000 In Popu-
Iation.

Washington, D. c. Especial The
total population of the United States and
island possessions may reach lOO,0O0,000,
according to unofficial estimates made
by Director of the Census Durand
When the figures are completed, about
November, Mr. Durand expects to see
the total for the states show about co.
100000. 1t may run UP to 100000,
but this now appears improbable. The
statistical estimate places the figure at
s89. 1000, but it is considered sure that
it will go beyond that. With the resi-
deEts Of the Philippine and other Islands
it is possible that the total win round
out the century of millions. ss
That's not such big number" said
census employee, "if you stop to think
that John ID. Rockefeller could give every
man, woman and child $40 each and then
have some change to put in the Sunday
school plate"
1t is estimated that from 1900 to 1907
this country gained about 4,292,000 by
immigration About 80 per cent. of inn
migrants in those years returned to their
native lands. From 1907 tU;sl910 rec
ords Of returning Immigrants were kept,
and show that of the 100000 who en-
tered this country 790,S75 returned The
total increase in ten years from immigra-
tion is estimated at 100000.
