The Grand Jury Report.

To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for Garrett county:
The Grand Jury for the December
term, 1914, beg leave to report that we
have concluded our labors and have to
the best of our ability performed the
duties devolving upon US as members of
this body, now desire to submit the re-
port of our proceedings and receive our
discharge.
We have had before US and have ex-
amined 129 witnesses and have found
81 presentments and 81 bills of indict-
ment.
We have found presentments in al
cases in which we beieved the evidence
justified and have ignored trivial cases
and those cases in which the evidence
did not appear to warrant present
mentS.
We have inspected and examined the
several county buildings, except that
we find leak in the dome of the court
hOuoS' anu dloO liiS ioOI dOOfS OHC VI
the rooms in the Sheriff's residence,
which should be promptly repaired.
We would recommend that the walls
of the court room which have become
soiled and unclean, be painted or tinted
In making our inspection of the several
offices in the court house we found that
there was an inadequate Office equip
ment in the Office of the Supervisors of
Election and that the election booths
therein are in very bad condition and
would suggest the purchase of adequate
and necessary polling booths and other
election furniture for said office.
We desire also to recommend that
the stairway leading from the first
floor to the second floor in the county
Jail be screened and sufficient doors be
installed IN order that the male and
female apartments of the Jail be sepa-
rate and accommodating.
We found that several of the mat
tresses in the jail to be unclean and I'M
sanitary and the same should be de-
stroyed and replaced by at least one
dozen new mattresses.
We have examined the records in the
several offices and found them to have
been carefully kept.
AS Grand Jurors and citizens of this
county we desire to take this opportu-
nifty to commend and thank the County
Commissioners for the erection of two
splendid arc gas lights at the entrance
to the court house on Third street,
which adds to the beauty and appear
ance of the court house grounds. We
also wish to commend the County Com
missioners for installing a much needed
toilet on the third floor of the court
house for the convenience of the grand
jury.
We desire to acknowledge the courte-
sy extended US by the Court and several
officers of the county.
We desire to express our thanks to
Mr.. julius c. Renninger States At
torney, for the kindness shown US and
for the assistance rendered US, and
whom we foun to be a careful con-
sclentlous and painstaking officer.
TheSjanitor, Mr.. Oscar Notes, is to
be commended for the neatness in
which he keeps the court house.
The Grand Jury has considered the
advisability lot changing the present
times of holding the Circuit Court and
are of the opinion that the time as now
fixed by law for holding court is de-
slrable and seems to meet with the
approval of the people.
Respectfully submitted

The Lesson for Americans.

The noble response of Americans to the cry
of want from Europe should deepen in us the
realization that pride goeth before destruction
and naughty spirit before fall" to the point
OF making us see that we have no right. even
though surrounded with peace and plenty, to
become prodigal OF our bounties.
The ravages Of war are swift and sure. over
night nations are plunged from affluence to
want. We are not contemplating war, nor fear
ing It, but so sure as that two and two make
four. we have got to curb some OF the tendencies
that have grown up among US in this period of
prodigious wealth and prosperity reap the
deplorable consequences In some form or
other II is no longer denied that. despite all the
other economical factors extravaganza cuts
vital figure in the high cost Of our llving-so
much so as to justify the pun, "the cost OF high
living"
Now, quite apart from conditions in Europe.
we have sufficient warning in things nearer
home to make us see the Importance of this les
son. AS individuals. as families and as race of
people, the thing for us TO do is to cut our
cloth more nearly according to our pattern. sim
down nearer the basis of living within our legit-
innate means What a wonderful thing II would
be at this very time II we had the power to re-
cover all we have wasted In recent years and
send Il along with our other bounties to the hum
cry, half-clad sufferers OF Europe? 1t would be
all velvet" for us. so to speak. leaving us still
with all or our present possessions, Surely, our
contact with this aaturnalia Of want and wick
edness abroad will bring us close enough to this
lesson as to get the full force OF II.

The New School Board.

The triumphant election Of the school board
candidates put in the field by the Citizens com
nlttee insures a complete recasting of the school
board. The most gratifying thing about this
prospect is, as The Bee has more than once de-
clared. the assured elevation OF the standard of
the board management. by which our schools
will have the benefit o. some Of the best business
end professional talent in our city.
The problem, however, confronting the new
school board is by no means simple one, nor
is II to be solved by mere shifting Of the con-
troll. The problem has three different sides to
it--the financial, the instructional and the
physical equipment OF school plant-and the
requirement is to hold expenses within revenues,
secure the greatest efficiency from the teach
ing corps. and provide school buildings
as needed TO accommodate increasing demands.
II the new board will tackle this three-fold prob
lem in earnest, It will be entitled to have, and
will have, the cordial support and co-operation
OF all good citizens interested in the improve
ment OF our public school system.
