PARAMOUNT HEIGHTS NEWS.

The citizens of FairmOunt Heights
and Prince Georges County Maryland
are proud and they have a right TO be
happy, because matters pertaining to
public instruction in this county are
in the care of men of the highest
character and ability. The public
school law of Maryland declares that
the County School Commissioners
shall be men of high character, integ-
rity and capacity.
Certainly the men composing the
Board of County School Commission
ers of Prince George County are
men of the highest character, integ-
rity and capacity. Hon. o. B. Zant-
Finger, Hon. Hugh Perrie, with Hon.
Frederick SassCer, as secretary, treas
urer and county superintendent of
education, constitute the present
board From the time of the petition
from the citizens here. asking that a
public school be established and main-I
tanned in FairmOunt Heights, they
have granted the community every
request and every assistance possible;
and they express their desire to do
anything which the law requires to
furnish each child in the county the
full benefit Of public instruction.
1t IS true that some of the schools
in the county have not been kept
open as many days of the year as
some of the other schools. The ex-
pressed reason for this is that the
parents Of some of the children with
draw their children from school in the
spring and the attendance in these
schools does not justify the keeping
of these particular schools open.
Therefore these schools have been
closed in April, while other schools, /
where the attendance is kept up, have
been kept open until June, or during
the full school year. Ten months
constituting a school year.
There can be no doubt, that the !
school here and at other points in the
county where the children are not
withdrawn, and where the attendance
JuStihes It, will be kept open the full
ten months or the full school wear,
thereby giving to each child in the |
county the protection Of the law as !
i guaranteed by the constitution of /
the State OF Maryland and the consti- |
tuition of the United States. Hon. o |
2. Zantzinger, Hon. Hugh Perrie and :
Hon. Frederick Sasscer are truly the |
right men in the right place, and the |
citizens here have every reason to be-
lieve that the school here will be kept |
open the full time this year.
