THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE
CHARGES AGAINST IT'S MEMBERS.

On Wednesday next, February 18th,
the State Board of Education will meet
(either in Oakland or at the office Of the
board in BALTIMORE to consider the
charges that have .been.sspreferred
against the School Board of Garrett
county and against County Superinten-
dent Ed. A. Browning.
We are not in position to form an
opinion as to what will be done by the
State Board-upon this occasion. 1t has
been alleged that the County Super
intendent, has said that the people
who signed the charges against himself
and the School Board are people whose
names have so little weight that moth
ing will be done and that all the charges
will be proven false and the School
Board and its worthy secretary will
stand before the patrons of the public
schools as long-suffering martyrs who
have only done their duty as they saw
it and as best they could.
The most serious charges that has
been made against the School Board, in
the estimation of many, is that the
members of that body have allowed the
County Superintendent to dictate the
policy Of the board. While in some
cases this might not be detrimental to
the welfare of the schools, in the pres
ent case it is.
There is no denying the fact that the
high school as well as the grammer
school in Oaklands.are in deplorable
condition. There is no sympathy exist
ing between the patrons and certain
teachers employed in the schools, and
certainly none betweenIthe patrons and
the County Superintendent. The pupil
who knows that no cooperation exists
between his parents and the school OF
ficials is not the same student he would
be if conditions were reversed and
where there has been an open rupture
between the County Superintendent and
the principal it is hard for the principal

serves.
The man who allows his personal feel
ings or his political feelings to enter
largely into school affairs is not doing
his duty, and the general dissatisfaction
expressed by the teachers throughout
the county must have some well-found-
ed reason for its existence. 1t has be-
come evident that the teacher who was
so unfortunate as to have a relative who

THE MUTTON HEAD

Sometimes we wonder why it is that
there was ever created the fellow awho
carries a bladder Of putty around on his
shoulders in lieu of a lid-the mutton
head, for whom there is less room in the
world every minute. You know who
we mean-the man whose mind is dor
mant or missing-who neither hears nor
sees and is minus the faculty of percep-
tion-who never learns to think and act
for himself and only does what he IS
told to do and like as not never does
that well.
Life itself is school in which most
of US learn every day. Experience and
example, coupled with observation,
serve to store the mind with lnforma-
ton on which we draw as occasion re-
ouires. 1t would seem as though every
body ought to sometime
the inevitable total of the first sum in
addition-that even the machine might
be a man and under certain conditions
think and act for himself. To master a
trade one must serve an apprenticeship
only with practice can skill become
perfect-but the rudiments of results
are within the reach of every mind save
and except that which we enormously
list among the possessions of the NUT
ton head,
The mutton head never learns any
thing for sure-never adds two and two
until ne absolutely knows how many
they make-never gets as far as the
hot stove formula, in fact, it never oc-
ours to him that there are things in life
he might learn, outside his daily round
that there are things he might do
other than those to which his attention
is caIled-that he is presumed to have
horse-sense, which needs occasional eX-
ercise elseIt might ossify. He never
strives to excel-his future is today,
and all his horizons are alike. The SIM
plest problems are passed up as impos-
sible of solution and without worry
what wonder that he is the drag of the
human herd.
Pity It's, but the mutton head is al
ways with US. We meet him every day
and very seldom in an automobile of his
own,

at some time or in some manner incurred
the displeasure of the learned superin-
tepdent was informed that she could
expect no favors from his royal hand,
and while her salary was supposed to be
regulated by law it was with the slight
est compunction that a portion of it was
withheld and the larger salaries were
paid tc the one who had patted the back
of the learned one in the right way. If
a school house were to be built it seems
that q relative of the worthy superinten-
dent could get the contract at larger
price than one who was not so fortunate
as to be related. These are some of the
charges Ito be considered by the State
Board and we can express no opinion as
to what the decision may be, but here's
hopin'.
Somewhere there must be a man who
can fill the position of County Superin-
tendent in Garrett county-some one
whose education is almost, if not quite
as good as Ethat Of the present incum-
bent of that office. There may be man
who would be as unpopular, but we
would like to see a change, feeling that
no great risk would be incurred. Gar
rett countyl needs a change, wants
change in the superintendency of the
public schools so that its school system
may improve instead of deteriorating,
and the State Board should make
change whether the charges are proven
or not.
The people are crying for deliverance
from the yoke that is calling them.

WHAT MAKES A TOWN?

In the first place a town, which is to
be considered more than just creeping
village, must have few at least, of
real live, unselfsh, progressive citizens
who are willing to shoulder a portion of
the responsibility for its future, both in
personal work and financial assistance
in every effort put forth or suggested
that willincreaseitsat tractiyenesse either
commercially or morally andln other
social conditions. A town cannot thrive
and grow wherein the financially respon-
sible men do not agree on any other
point than that of looking out for them
selves. Cooperation is necessary in
building a business, and so is it neces-
sary in building a town to make it a sue
cess. Whenever the men who have the
money and the business ability in any
community, get down to real earnest
pulling together, the same community
rapidly blossoms forth into a live town,
and grows continuously as long as the CO.
operation keeps up.
What makes a Town?
Answer. -Co-operation of its citizens
in push and pluck.
