Governor Presents Cup.

The big silver loving cup offered
by Gov. Goldsborough, for Glass P
sloops, of the Chesapeake and which
was won by the Sue, owned by
Commodore Alfred I. DUPONT, of
the Cambridge Yacht Club was for
maIly presented to the crew of the
Sue, by the Governor, at his Off
ce in Baltimore, Wednesday after
noon.
The Governor, in presenting the
cup to Stuart Stevens Scott, the
skipper of the Sue, declared that
not only was yachting the finest of
all sports, but that the sport had
been of a great deal of value to
the Eastern Shore.
81 consider that a great deal of
the advancement of values of land
on the Chesapeake Bay has been due
to yachting" said the Governor.
Men. have visited our tide-water
lands, have been impressed with
the beauty of them, and have pur-
chased summer places. 1 believe
that by the encouragement of yacht
ing and the attracting of men from
other States, the beauties of our
tide-water lands will be even more
appreciated.
''It has been largely through
Yachting that Cam bridge is heine
so favorably advertised. The eff
forts of the Cambridge Yacht Club
and the cooperation of the Chesa-
peake Bay Yacht Racing Associa-
ton has meant much to our little
city. In time it will mean more.I
am glad that 1 had the opportunity
to offer this trophy, and l am glad
of the opportunity to present it to
the crew of Commodore duPont's
yacht"

Teach The Value Of Money!

1 believe we should teach our
children the value of money and
the proper care of it. The great
est part of the husbands and ia
theirs life is spent in earning mo-
ney, and, so often the children have
no idea of the proper use of 1t.
To allow a child to grow up in
ignorance of the value of money
is a great mistake; when we do
this we are neglecting very i'm
portant thing. 1 believe it very
harmful to the child to give him
five cents for ice cream or candy
whenever he asks for it. He does
not realize the value of the. mo-
ney he asks for nor the labor and
time necessary to earning it; to
him it comes from a boundless
source and represents just the
thing he wants at the time.
l think it better plan to give
him a small allowance each week,
and if he is reckless and spends it
all at once, there should be an
iron-clad rule that not another pen
ny is advanced until payday; then
he would commence to plan and
give a little thought to the spend
ing of his money. One thing that
we should see to is that our child
understands the labor and time
required to earn money; that it
does not come by the asking. By
proper training children often de-
velop level-headed business meth
DDS in conducting their little af-
fairs.
l have found it an excellent plan
to encourage boys in earning mo-
ney during their vacations and CIV
ing the girls a part of the house
hold buying to do, and having
them keep the kitchen expense
book; thus they early learn the
cost of keeping up the home and
that father tolls for the money and
all must work together to spend it
properly.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE!
The Most Successful One In The
History of Dorchester Schools.

The Teachers Institute, which
closes today, is said to have been
the most interesting occasion of it's
kind ever held in Dorchester coun-
ty. Through the efforts of Super
intendent A. R. Spaid, some of the
most prominent educators and lee
turers to be found were brought to
Cambridge, in order that the people,
having under their care the training
of the little ones of this county,
might be benefited by the new
ideas brought to them. Miss Henri
eta M. Smedley, as musical direc-
tor, helped wonderfully in keeping
up enthusiasm during the sessions.
Miss Minnie L. Davis and Prof.
Charles H. Albert handled the
practical subjects of school life in
such a manner as to make their
talks appeal to the teachers.
In connection with the lectures
during the day, instructive pro-
grams were arranged for the even
ings. Tuesday night, at the Audi
torium, Prof A. R. Spaid delivered
a talk on '"The Picturesque Luray
Caverns and the Historic Shenan-
doah Valley" illustrated with NOV
ing pictures.
Wednesday night, DR.. Charles L..
SeashoJes gave a humorous lecture,
entitled, ''Is Life Worth Living pin
the Sunday School room of Zion NJ
E. Church. Yesterday DR.. M.Bates
Stephens State Superintendent of
Public Schools, and Secretary of
the State Board of Education, spoke
in the morning on "The Teacher"
and in the afternoon on "The Pu-
pill" At the afternoon session Miss
Jeanette King gave Hamlet"
Last night the Jeanette King
Concert Company appeared at the
Auditorium. Miss Kings charming
personality and magnetism, together
with her unusual talent, make it
no trouble for her to hold the at
tention of her audience. Scenes
from Famous Plays and Music from
Famous Operas" was the subject of
her attractive entertainment.
Miss King gave scenes from
''Bunty Pulls the Strings Within
the Law" and "Mrs. Gadabout's
Busy Day." which were all greatly
enjoyed. "The Vision of Sir
Launfal' was read to violin and pi-
ano music. Accompanying Miss Kiln
were gifted violinist and a talen-
ted pianist, who assisted in making
the evening a success. Their Sc
lections from the operas were all
we'll rendered, and their numbers
from Faust" were worthy of spe-
ciai mention.

HEAVY LOSS ON IDLE FUNDS.
Government Money Might Have Earned
S4o,ooO,ooo Since 1905.

Washington, Jan. 30A loss Of S40,-
000000 that the government might have
received in interest on idle funds in the
treasury since 1905 and a much greater
loss on funds deposited without interest
in national banks will be described in a
report soon to be made to the House fav-
oring the adoption of the Cooke bill, for
compulsory deposit law Figures will
show, according to members OF the House
committee on expenditures in the treas
ury department, that the government
might earn from 100000 to $3O00000
year on its idle cash. The proposed
law would compel banks to bid for de-
posits, would limit the amount any bank
might receive, and compel all banks to
pay interest on government deposits.
The report of the committee is expected
to show that under 2 per cent interest
law the government could have earned
nearly Sl50000000 since 1886 on idle
funds in the treasury and money de-
posted in national banks.
