NOT TO HONOR DAME BARBARA
Fritchie Day Opposed by Frederick
School Commissioners.

FREDERICK, Md. August 16.-Because
of the controversy that has ragged on the
subject, the county school commissioners
have declined to set aside Barbara
Fritchie day to be observed by the
schools of the county
Two members favored the plan; the
others. however. objected to taking sides
on a matter differently viewed by the
Fritchie Memorial Association and the
local and state chapters of the United
Daughters Of the Confederacy.
Several weeks ago the memorial ASSOC
citation, which is collecting funds for a
monument to the memory OF Dame Bar
bara. planned a national school day in
which every child in the public schools
of the United States would be asked to
contribute a penny. The county school
commissioners were asked to designate a
day in this county and the request open
ed up a warm discussion. At a meeting
of the board the matter was again gone
over and resolution adopted against 1t.
President Newman of the commission
ers said the only reason why the request
was not granted was on account of mucn
opposition to the plan.
The members of the board favoring the
request said it is likely that number OF
teachers on their own initiative will set
aside day to celebrate the old lady S
fame.

Of the Egypt exploration fund, under the
able direction of the great Psychologist,

Temple Of Osiris a carving was found de-
plotting the Pharaoh Of the exodus play

Abydos is one of the richest sites in
Egypt, and many explorers have reaped
a rich harvest from it's temples and

Osiris is revealed to US. Taking the dis
