Children's Holiday Severely Crit
cized.

That it is demoralizing to the school
system of Frederick city to permit
pupils to run at large at the Fred
erick Fair grounds is the opinion of
| several citizens. In talking with a
reporter for The Frederick Post sew
e-al persons said last night that it
had been the custom to give the stud
ents of the city nalf a day at the
Fair. The boys and girls, it was ex
planned, roam at large on the grounds,
entirely out of the pale of the influ-
: ence of their teachers.
1t was suggested that the children
of the schools of the entire county
be given one whole day at the Fred
erick Fair. This is to be determined
by the school officials, the children
| and their parents. On this day The
pupils to be under the supervision of
the teachers of the respective grades.
This, declared one citizen, would con-
vert the Frederick Fair into purely
an educational feature s for school
children.
From reports that could be secur-
ed last evening it was estimated that
it costs the taxpayers of the city APP
proximately 1920 in teachers salar-
les for the four days at the Frederick
Fair That is: this amount is, paid
out to teachers with no direct result.
Besides, approximately 1900 children
of the city are materially effected by
the system of giving half day for
three days and whole day on the
fourth.
Another parent declared that the
four days lost at the Fair was not the
only effect The entire school system
is disorganized for about week fol-
lowing, it was said.
The impressions that a school
child gathers at the Fair, when I'M
attended by teacher or parent, declar-
ed one man, are not all that could be
desired. The suggestions, it was
said, could be taken for what they
were worth by the people who are in
terested in seeing the schools accom-
plish the purpose for which they are
organized-"th most good for the
pupil"

STOP-LOOK LISTEN

There should be solemn warning to
drivers of motor vehicles in the cir
.hmstances which led to the death of
rs. Haines Harlan. her two children
bd nurse and the serious injury Of her
husband and father when the automobile
which they were riding was struck by
train at Singerly, Nd, a few days
Officials of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad are directing the attention of
totorists and all others who use the
Nbblic highways to the distressing acct
|ent in an effort to urge persons to first
scertain whether or not the tracks are
bsy before railroad is crossed.
1t is reported that when the crossing
Singerly was approached by the auto
5oble the bell was ringing and that the
hchine stopped to heed the warning,
I'D on looking down the track it was
II served that an approaching freight
pin was far enough away to permit the
|hrty to cross. Just as the automobile
bs proceeding over the crossing it was
'ruck by an express train which passed
|n an opposite direction. 1t is supposed
lat the presence of the second train
Bis not known to the i'll fated autoists.
1hev were hurled back in front of the
Eight train and the bodies of the women
I'd children were mangled almost be-
md recognition.
The railroad officials realize that the
Aetion of the father in attempting to
IOss ahead of the train was not in the
brit of chance taker, or to endanger
q Ne lives of those who were nearest and
Iearest to him. The circumstances Of
10 trains being in the same crossing
'ircuit and going in the opposite direc-
ION may not occur again with fatal re-
|hlts during the existence of the rail
bad, but it is frequently the untoward
circumstance which causes railroad ac-
dent. 1t was not due to a mechanical
ailure that the automobile was struck,
ID the crossing was protected by auto
attic signals which were working and
ere observed, although the warning
h es not seem to have been needed.
The lesson drawn from the accident
N railroad officials is the Importance to
1otorists and travellers on the highways
at they refrain from crossing the
'bcks in the face of warning signals, for
ere may be no way of ascertaining the
pminence of danger and the delay is
dom more than few minutes at the
INCEST.

BOARD OF ALDERMEN.

whats become of Amiesite?" quer-
led the Mayor of the members Of the
Board OF Aldermen last night at the
regular monthly meeting. The AL
dermen looked around in a puzzled
way and said, 1--WE don't know" "That
is just what | would like to know.
doomed Alderman Elmer Nee. Phe-
bus, who several days ago in an in
terview frankly admitted that he does
not know when the Court Square paw
ing job will be completed.
For about thirty days the streets
have been closed to the public All
traffic has been shut off and they
are useless to the city," explained Al
derman Phebus, after the meeting. He
intimated that if the work was de-
layed much longer, it would be lm-
possible to complete this winter.
Alderman Phebus said there are a
number of fish bait boxes in operation
A motion was passed ordering the
Mayor to notify the operators of these
boxes to discontinue them or meter
w~uld be installed at the expense o.
the bait box operator.
The question of buying stone for
the use of the city das discussed last
night. 1t was the sense of the Board
that stone should be bought from
the company from whom the best
possible material can be secured and
the best deliveries made. G. R. Sum-
mers, through his attorney, J. F. R.
Heagey, filed a claim for $3252 for
damages caused to his automobile
when he ran into a ditch on Market
street, near Third street, several
weeks ago. The claim was referred
to the committee on claims with pow
er to act.
Two members of the Senior Glass,
Hood College, appeared before the
Board of Aldermen last evening and
filed a request for the use of the City
Opera House on one of the four free
nights which are at the disposal of
the Board of Aldermen. The Seniors
explained that the class wanted to
hold it's annual play in theatre.

Contest to Raise Standard of Milk

Determined to have an output of the
purest milk possible, approaching the
need of pure milk production, the White
Cross Company has been offering pre-
miums to local dairymen who deliver
milk to the plant This system was
inaugurated some fifteen weeks ago and
an increased interest has been manifested
until there we're over 20 winners in the
recent announcement.
Generally farmer is paid a high or
low price for his milk according to the
amount of butter fat it contains Here
tofore archaeological tests were never
made, and not so much attention is gen
orally paid to cleanliness, and purity as
is now being done at the local plant.
Five samples are taken from the milk
brought in by patrons in five weeks.
The tests are made by Sidney G. Leete.
bacteriologist for the plant, who is a
graduate Of Cornell University. If four
of these samples are below a certain
archaeological standard Of so many thou
sand bacteria per cubic centimeter, he is
given a premium on every hundred
pounds of milk sent to the plant during
these five weeks. The premium amounts
to ten cents on every hundred pounds of
milk. This is over and above the cur
rent market price, and farmer who is
regular patron at the plant often profits
from ten to twelve dollars in every five
weeks.
The testing began in July, and show
ing that Frederick county farmers have
taken an interest in sanitation, there has
been an increased number of winners
announced in every test. Bacteriologist
Leete said that cleanliness is the first
requisite in reducing the number Of
bacteria in milk. Another precaution
taken for pure milk is the proper cooling
and scalding of all receptacles and uten-
sils. Dust is an enemy of pure milk /.
1t takes some time for these tests to be
made, as time must be had for the plates
to develop. Manager William j. G..
Reinmuth of the plant, is very much
pleased with the interest the farmers are
taking in the test.
The White Cross plant is offering
these premiums solely to give pure milk
to their customers in Washington and
Baltimore. They will not at present
profit by the plan from monetary stand
point, only receiving the reputation Of
handeling pure milk and in time profit
by this
The company believes that the man
who is careful in the handeling of the
milk should receive more for the product
than the man who does not. Hence
the paying Of a higher price for the
cleanest milk.

Highland School Closed.

Because of thN appearance of three
cases of scarlet fever in the immediate
vicinity, the Highland school, near
Myersville, was closed Monday morning
upon order of County Health officer
Ralph Browning. Those confined with
the fever are Newton Gilbert, James
H. Early and Jerome Gaver, all stu
dents at the Highland school.
There are 10 pupils in the school and
every precaution will be taken to prevent
the spread of the disease. The school
will probably not be reopened for few
weeks. This is the first report of scarlet
fever in Frederick county this Fall.

Making Study of Stock.

Each day during the Fair, Prof.
Sydney Stabler, agricultural teacher at
the Boys High School, is taking sew
eral of the advanced students of the de
partment to make study of the differ
ent stock entered at the Fair. Superior
points and qualities of the stock are
noted, and it is felt that practical work
of this kind will be very helpful in con-
nection with the agricultural studies.

Crowded in every department and all
available space of ground occupied the
fifty -fourth annual fair Of the Frederick
County Agricultural Society was ushcred
in on Tuesday last, with ideal weather
prevailing. The.exhibits surpassed any
given in former years both as to selection
and numbers.
The live stock, consisting of tho rough
bred Of all grades, was the admiration of
all. Poultry in the various classes APP
pealed to the admiration of the many
visitors. The fruit, flowers, vegetable
and household departments were crowded
with the best the fertile fields of our
great county could produce. The ma
chinery department as well us the auto
mobile exhibit was the finest given here
for many years. The Midway was well
patronzed, and the fakirs did a rushing
business.
The Agricultural Society were most
liberal both with purses for races and
premiums for the thousands of exhibits
entered. The attendance was unprcced
ented, and the society deserves to be
commended for its excellent arrange
ments for the comfort and pleasure of
many in attendance.
There was an increase ON Tuesday
of more than three hundred dollars in
the grandstand and gate receipts at
the Frederick Fair, when compared
with Tuesday a year ago. 1t was the
biggest Tuesday that the Frederick
County Agricultural Society has had
in eight years.
