Exchange To Discuss Schools

The Calvert Exchange of the Farmers
Civil and Business Association will hold
their next open meeting, Saturday, / D..
m, April 5, 1918.
j. E. Crothers, Chairman of the School
Committee, takes a strong stand for a
change in rural schools. He says:
The school should be a community
center, with an assembly room, where
could be held lectures, farmers meet
ings, lyceum debates, and the Old time
spelling bee: a place where the parents
could meet once or twice a month IT,
discuss the questions of the day. Older
people need entertainment and amuse-
ment, and if we wish to keep our boys
and girls on the farm, we must provide
for their entertainment, most of which
they can furnish for themselves and their
parents If a suitable place could be OBJ
tanned"
He further contends that IN the con-
stiuction of the buildings and arrange
ment of curriculum, and in the admins
tratiOn of the schools, simplicity should
be taken as the Keynote, and common
sense as the watchword. No teacher in
the rural school should have more than
fifteen pupils, and better sanitary con-
dit ons should prevail"

Progressives In Convention

The Maryland Progresslves held a con-
vention on Wednesday, with about 200
delegates present from various parts Of
the State. Hon. Charles j. Bonaparte
was temporary Cha irman of the conven-
tion and made an address, deprecating
any talk of return to the Republican
fold and strongly advocating thorough
organization as permanent, separate
party. Col. George A. Pearre, of Alleg-
haney county, was made permanent
chairman.
The election of a chairman of the State
Central Committee was postponed, E. C.
Darlington, Esq, holding over. The
adoption of a party constitution was the
only business of importance transacted.
The meeting was not a harmonious one,
by any means, discord arising not over
differences as to principles or policies,
but as to party officers and honors.
There seemed to be a good deal of per
sonalities," for a convention of political
"uplift"

Chester County Dry

Chester county has been dried up for
fair by the Courts recent acrIon on ap-
plications for licenses. Twenty five ho-
tells in that county were either refused
or withdrew their applications as a re-
suit of the warfare waged by the No
License Committee.
The hotel at Kembleville and the one
at New London were both granted Ii
censes But all the hotels in Oxford,
Kennett Square, Coatesvile and West
Grove, with many others, were refused.
Commenting on what the situation will
be in Oxford for awhile at least, the Ok
ford Press says:
Some people say that the town will
be dead one without liquor that the
hotels will refuse accommodations to the
public and travelling men will go else
where. Others call their attention to
the fact that on the Central Division, be-
tween Chadsford and Havre de Grace,
there will be after April l no place with
licensed bar. So it will be long Jump
between drinks
The Oxford Hotel has aoou. =5 regular
boarders, and II it should close its doors
there will be demand for boarding
places in town. Report is that hitching
accommodations will be denied the pub
lie, particularly to those who signed re-
monstrances. However the case may be,
the fact remains that Oxford will be a
dry town for year unless a re-hearing
should be given the application of Mr..
Niedenthal. The Court in its opinion
said that If it is shown that the courr
proceeded under a materially mistaken
Interpretation of the law. the error will
be corrected and the case will be sent
back for a re-hearing."
