Commencement

Last Thursday and Friday
were important days in the his
tory of our schools. Two COM
mencement exercises were Civ
en-. The Eighth Grade and the
High school.
On Thursday evening at the
M. E. church, the Eighth Grade
in which there we're sixteen
members, gave their program,
and 1t was one of which every
member of the class may well
be proud. One point which
more than all else shows that
they have taken advantage of the
excellent advantages of our city
school, is the advancement they
have made for their ages. Many
of them have completed the work
of two grades in one year, and
are now ready for high school,
even though they yet seem as
babies to most of us.
Nora McMeel and Margaret
Wilson tied for the highest
grades. The class decided that
Nora McMeel should deliver the
Valedictory address, which she
did, much to her credit. Besides
being Valedictorian, she was al
so the youngest member of the
class.
Mary McGafin and Mildred
Haigh had the next highest
grades. Mildred Haigh in a very
pleasing manner delivered the
Salutatory address.
Members of the class were:
Mildred Haigh, Blanche Boeh-
Ter, Alice Adams, Lucille Twist,
Mary McGafin, Florence Dor
land, Margaret Wilson, Gene
We've Haigh, Nora McMeel. Alex
McCampbell, Laura Roberts,

CAPT. GIBBONS TO STAY
Report That Superintendent of the
Naval Academy Sought Trans
fer From the Institution
Officially Denied.
DEPARTMENT RELATION CORDIAL
Secretary WinthrOp's View-Chief En-
tertains Highest Regard for the
Superintendent-ReIat of
Higher to Lower Court.

As stated in last nights Capital,
the naval authorities at Washington
when asked regarding reports in cir
culation in Washington and here to
the effect that Capt. John II. Gibbons,
superintendent of the Naval Acad-
emy. had requested the Navy Depart
ment to transfer him TO some other
field of work, officials at the depart
ment emphatically denied that any
such application has been made and
were lavish in their praise Of the
present Superintendent.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Beekman Winthrop said he greatly
regretted that such reports had been
circulated, inasmuch as they were
absolutely without foundation and
were only productive of misunder-
standing as to the relations between
the Academy and the department.
81 know" said Secretary Winthrop,
''that the relations between Captain
Gibbons and Secretary Meyer are
most cordial The Secretary of the
Navy entertains the highest regard
for the superintendent at the Naval
Academy and thoroughly indorses
his administration, which is in COM
plete harmony with the Department,
and is supplemented by more than
friendly relations between the Secre-
tary and the commandant."
Capt. Lemphlin NJ. Potts, ranking
officer in matters of discipline next to
the Secretary himself, said that, al
though in routine matters of disci-
pline the Secretary had on a few oc-
easions seen fit to overrule Captain
Gibbons, notably in the Valentine
and Luby cases, Captain Gibbons haC
been sustained in matters of disci.
pline far more frequently than his
predecessors.
Secretary Winthrop likened the
relations of the administration of the
Naval Academy and the department
to that of lower court to a higher
court. "All good judges are occasion
ally overruled by the higher courts
said Mr. Winthrop. "AccordinglyNit
is only a matter of departmental pro
cedure that the officials at the Acad
emy should in certain instances hs
overruled by the department.
In the case of Midshipmari R. ].
Valentine, Captain Gibbons had rec
commended dismissal. An appeal t.
the Secretary resulted in Valentine
being allowed to remain at the Acad
envy. He had violated several rigiC
rules, it is said.
The charges against Midshipmal
Thomas NJ. LubY, who was also recon
mended for dismissal by Captain Glib
bons. were that he had violated rules
relative to smoking. The Secretar,
intervened and Luby was allowed t
stay.

year. succeeding Capt. ]. H. Bcwyer
who was relieved at his own reques

TRUSTEE BILL SIGNED
Anne Arundel School Measure
Made Law Yesterday After
noon in Office of Cover
nor,
BELLS GETS THE PEN.
Anne Arundel Senator the Possessor
Of lmpliment Used in Signing
His School Trustee Bill.

Senator Joseph H. BELLS bill max
! ing amendments to the school laws I,
! provide for the final settlement of the
vexing question of how many trustee:
the Annapolis High School shall have
/ and whether these trustees shall he
under the management of the County
Board of School Commissioners or
act as independent agents in way
different from those of any other
public school in the whole State. is
now law of Maryland.
The bill was made a law shortly
after O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
when, as forecasted in The Capital
the necessary act was taken to make
it a tull-fledged statute through the
atfixing of the signatures of Governor
Goldsborough, and President Price
and Speaker Trippe, of the Senate
and House to the engrossed copy.
Immediately afterplacing his name
to the bill, the Governor gave the pen
he had used to Mr.. John R. Sullivan,
Secretary of the Senate. who at once
sent it to Senator BELLS, the father
of the measure, which was so bitterly
opposed by those who desired to have
siy trustees in charge of the school.
and who had carried their case to
court, and then fought the bill through
the Legislature and made their last
stand in their effort to have Governor
Goldsborough veto 1T.
The victory of Senator Bells and
those who backed him up in his advo-
cacy of the measure is complete. as it
was known from the first it would be,
and the Anne Arundel member of the
upper house of the Legislature is to-
day receiving congratulations upon
his success in his first fight on local
legislation.
The signing of the bill is conceded
by some to be good thing for the
schools of Annapolis in many quarters
and is said to save to the local high
school the annual State appropriation
of $4,000, which the State Board of
Education had announced would not
be given the local institution under
the accredited high school law of
1910. This was because six trustees
who had powers not given the other
accredited high school trustees the
local school would, it is said, not be
complying with the contemplated
provision of the State school law that
intended state and county super
vision of the schools getting state
aid.
Around the Court House this MORN
ing great deal of feeling was ex-
pressed by the opposition, who lost
the cause they had so seriously es-
poused.
