State Teachers To Meet

The annual convention of the School
Commissioners and County Superintend-
ents Association of Maryland was held
in Baltimore Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday. Having as its object the
preparation of school legislation for the
counties at the coming session of the
Legislature, the convention is one in
which much interest is being taken.
The superintendent conferred We'd
nesday morning at the Rennert Hotel
on needed legislation on compulsory
school attendance, health inspection,
plans for greater normal school and
other subjects. They also drew up rec
concentrations to be submitted to the
general meeting to be held in the State
Normal School building Thursday and
Friday nights.
The meeting was opened by Mr.. Albert
S. Cook, superintendent of the public
schools of Baltimore county, who pre-
sided. Mr.. Cook made an address on
health inspection of children, telling
what has been done in Baltimore county.
The discussion on Compulsory School
Attendance law excited most interest,
as opinions in the counties are divided.
The increase in number and efficiency
of the State supply of teachers was also
discussed. These concentrations of the
association will be sent to members of
the coming Legislature.
Superintendent E. w. McMaster, and
Commissioners Zadok Powell and James
II. Vincent attended the meeting.

Big Ship Stranded Near
Ocean CITY.

The Italian ship Fortuna, Captain
Domenico Bianco, stranded on the bar
at Ocean City, at 5 O'Clock Monday after
noon, the crew of twenty men being
taken off by the Isle of Wight and Ocean
City life-saving crews Tuesday morning
after they had spent night Of anxiety
on board the vessel.
She first struck on Fenwick Island
Shoals at 100 clock Monday morning,
during binding snow and heavy wind
storm, pounded there four hours. and
when they were able to get her off she
was found to be leaking so badly that
they had TO run her ashore to keep from
sinking. She left Buenos Ayres Sep
TENDER 18th, loaded with bone for Phila-
delphia, and had good passage until
Monday
Fortuna is an iron ship, square rugged,
$500 tons, built rs years ago at Glasgow.
Her home port is Genoa, Italy.s
Crews from Isle of Wight and Ocean
City Life-Saving Station tried all night
to reach her with breeches buoy. but
were not successful.
The ships company is made up of II
Italians, one negro and five Norwegians.
The ships rudder is gone and she is
leaking badly. The Merritt Chapman
Wrecking Company secured the contract
to save the ship, and its tug Merritt ar
rived Tuesday but on account Of the
high seas was unable to do anything to-
ward saving the ship. She went to sea
for the night.
Wednesday morning steam pumps
were put aboard and an attempt was to
float the Fortuna.
Men from Ocean City went to the
stranded ship in power boat and took
charge, claiming that she had been
abandoned by her crew and they were
entitled under maritime laws to salvage
the ship.
This action is not taken seriously by
the agent of the wrecking company.
