NO HOLIDAY TOMORROW.
School Board Declines to Grant Re-
quest Children Better Off the
Streets at Such a Time.

At the regular monthly meeting Of
the School Commissioners for the
county held this morning, the Com
missioners declined to grant the re-
quest OF the Annapolis public school
to give holiday tomorrow, the day of
the inauguration Of Governor Colds
borough.
The School Board believes the school
children are better off the streets, at
time like this, and school will keep to-
morrow as usual.
The Board discussed at today's
meeting the trouble with the city
public school heating plant. An ex-
pert was called here from Baltimore
yesterday and decided that there is
not sufficient draft to the furnace
and the chimney will be built fifteen
feet higher as the furnace has re-
Gently been enlarged, two additional
sections being put in. If the 15-foot
addition to the chimney does not give
sufficient satisfaction, the school will
try using soft coal In the meantime
everything possible is being done to
properly heat the building.

A WORKING GOVERNOR
Governor CrOthers Last Day as
Chief Executive of Maryland.
A QUIET REGIME.
Without Blare of Trumpets Or Parade
Or Show Of Administration.

Governor Austin l.. Crothers can
retire to private life after the inau-
guration of Mr.. Goldsborough with
perfect satisfaction that he has served
the people without regard to politics,
can truly say of him and his admin
istration, thou good and faithful
servant.
The future historians of the State
of Maryland will write on his pages
that the administration of Governor
Austin L. Crothers has been the most
successful for the people of any ad-
ministration in this State from its
foundation to the present time.
:, What will come later is not
known, but it is known that the peo-
pie of Maryland will be extremely
fortunate if their future Executives
are men of calibre to think out and
put into execution policies which will
produce as much good for the whole
people as the policies of Governor
Crothers have produced.
The message of Governor Austin
L. Crothers to the General Assem-
bly, is one of the strongest docu-
ments which has ever been issued
from the Executive Department of
this State. 1t contains more sound
advice and good suggestions for the
people of Maryland than any mes
sage which has ever come from the
pen Of a Governor in this State.
1t is a strong message from strong
man.
Governor Crothe1s has not simply
been an office-holder during his
administration. He has not been a
parade Governor, but he has been a
working Governor, whose brain and
ability has built up things within the
State which will have a lasting effect
for good for many years to come.
There has not been minute of his
ime since his Inauguration four years
ago which has not been spent in for
mulating some new ideas and in con-
stucting some new plans which would
produce something for the good OF
the people of Maryland.
His administration has been rich in
constructive legislation, which has
placed Maryland in the foremost OF
the progressive states of this Union
and it has all been done without any
bare Of trumpets or parade of show.

other was police reorganization for
Baltimore city. That his plans failed
was due to opposition within his own
party and his friends suspect that
those who helped to block him were
fearful that he would gain some po-
litical advantage.
1t was doubtless this that caused
some of the leaders secretly to put
obstacles in the way when he was
about to trade election law legislation
for police reorganization. Road
legislation may yet be tied up with
the bill providing for a new loan, but
the SmithMahOn-Gorman section Of
the party will have a big say in this
measure. They will not agree 20 any
thing that Esavors Of advantage to
Crothers.
Workmen are today making the
State House ready for the coming
| of Governor-elect Goldsborough to-
morrow. The east portico is nearly
ready. 1t is there that the new Gov
srnor is expected to make his inaugu-
raj address. The depots have been
decorated with bunting and two new
flags will fly from the dome of the
Capitol for the first time-one a Uni
ted States flag and the other the State
colors. The parade is expected to
more than fill Annapolis. If there
is one town of it's size in Maryland
that is not really big enough for a
parade, it is this one. This is be-
cause of the peculiar way in which
| the streets run.
