"Dee-lighted." replied Duke. Some

In the course of the day, Duke passed
the suspicious looking smoke on to Mar

committing the questions to memory,
as they were the same questions that
were given at the teachers examina-
ton, and scholarship examination was
held two weeks later. And was it not
also pleasant help to Miss Keller to be
permitted to have an educated father
near her during the examination to
soothe her cares and anxieties.
And is it not fact that the school
commissioners should be careful and ap-
point students prepared to enter the
freshman class, so that the faculty
could carry out fully the act of the Leg
islature. They simply ignored the fact
that held in my possession and have at
the present time a card signed by Mr.
Lewis, the president of the Western
Maryland College, emitting me to full
membership to the freshman class.
BY Mr.. Browning remarks he ayers
there is no comparison between a grade
pupil and one who devotes four years in
High School work and graduates.
By these few truths any one can
readily see that the Western Maryland
scholarship was awarded through preju-
dice and partially. And more Mr..
Browning has robbed me of an educa-
ton and has given it to one whose par

whose age would have permitted her
to wait until had graduated and then
have plenty of time to complete her
education. ORPAH ASHBY.
