A tiny yacht, which was under

For nearly fortnight st. Mary's

a means of bringing relief from the
heat, have nevertheless caused con-
siderable anxiety as we'll as much in

severe electrical discharges. and con-
siderable damage has been done, es-
pecially by the storm of Sunday night
which conferred chiefly in the regions
of the PatuXent section of the county.
An immense quantity of water has fall

If these summer rains could fall al

in sending showers just in time to
catch picnic parties, excursions and
spectators at outdoor games when
they are unprepared.

Editor St. Mary's BEACON,
Dear Sir:
Allow me to trespass upon your
valued space tn make few sugges-
tions in the interest of our public
schools. We are all agreed that the
school rally was a great success, and
as we would like the same to be con-
tinued, something should be done to
lessen the responsibilities and trouble
that such rally places upon the shout
ders of teachers.
l would suggest that the trustees of
each school help in seeing to the safe
transportation to and from the rally,
after having made arrangements for
the manner of getting the children
there.
| would further suggest that the
trustees, in proportion To the interest
they may have at heart for the school,
arrange an annual festival and other
ways to raise funds for the above
purpose and also to present the sue
cessful children with prizes at the
commencement, thus providing an in
centive for application and. study.
This would show the children not only
the advantage of education but also
the public interest on their behalf.
Further do not think it would be
out of keeping with our Democratic
institutions TO have the trustees ap-
pointed in part by the vote of the par
ents whose children attend the school
and by the voter of other interests.
Yours sincerely,
L. DU Bots.
