This insiita ion IN new beginning

people Of This County and Southern
Maryland
| Il is located just one quarter cf a
mile from the county seat II the
town and is surrounded bv the most
healthy conditions; is fully equipped

1t is hardly necessary to say any

rounding than that, better
location for chool, could not have
been elected. The Trustees hsv.
secured corp Of able and excellent
teachers all Of whom come 10 the
institution most highly recommended
and well fitted for the worn o! help
/ ing to educate the young and flung
them to take such places in world that
they can fill with credit to themselves,
tL,ir county and their alma mater.
Its prominence as an excellent seat
Of learning has been gradually spread.
ing since its foundation and each
/, ear ii has moved higher in the
estimation and opinion II the general
public.
Every ear tie institution has turn
ed out many young mtn and women,
some Of v no have entered other H.
stituiions to complete their studies,
otIie,s ave followed dtffe' ent lines
of business, whi,e sill Others have
become teacle il our public schools.
All who have gone forth have shown
the good fruits i the education that
they received at tie MeDonough
Institute. 1t has not and is not the
aim Of the school to give a student
college education, hut 10 iit the young
in our County and from other parts
who are unable to get a college
education, to take up life's work in
such manner that they wilt never
feel embarrassed in any manner
shape or fo,m
Another purpose Of tie Institution
is to prepare tn 'se who desire TO be-
come teachers to take NJ That work,
The success it has accomplished
alcng these ines IS recommends
ton to It's further usefulness TO our
people. Apart from all Of this it is a
iCharles County institution fitted and
prepared to give young leople the
start in life they most need at a low
ard moderate cost. Many Of onr
young people who cannot afford tie
expense charged at high institutions
of learning find the rates oi this
school Within their means.
The people of our County should,
therefore, appreciate the fact that it
is home institution, that its tuition
is low and in easily within their reach
and patronize it Every home in
dustry should receive the encourage
ment Of its people. The way to
build up our County is to encourage
and push ahead its institutions of
learning and its industries.

Who have encouraged slice its begin
ming and the purpose of this editorial
Is only to call the attention Of our
people to ii and urge them to continue
their encourage nent that it may
continue to prosper and prove a
continued benefit to our people and
County.
We might say further that Prof.
r. IL. Lee Reich, who is tbs principal
now was among its ablest teachers
last year and comes to tie head Of
the school with the best record and
highest recommendation. lie halls
from Frederick county whele he had
much experience in school work and
from our knowledge Of his former
career and as well as personal know
ledge of him we can sA, tat tlr board
of Trustees could have selected no
better man to head tie institution,
that the people are roud to claim
exists within its borders.
