To Frederick Tomorrow.
School Children Expect to Have
A Grand Time.

"A M hhhSs
Tomorrow, providing the weather is
favorable, hundreds of school children
from all parts of the county will journey
to Frederick to take part in the great
school demonstration.
Prof H. D. Beachley and his assistant
teachers of this place have been very
busy the past two weeks preparing for
this event.
The exhibit will consist of specimens
of work done in the various schools in
the county. Every pupil is supposed to
have specimen of his or her work in
either, writing, drawing, arithmetic or
other studies, and to map out and over
see the Job has been no small one for the
teachers of the county.
All this work was completed last Friday
and all specimens were supposed to be IN
Frederick not later than Monday evening.
We have had the opportunity of seeing
much of the work done by pupils of the
Thurmont schools and some from nearby
schools, and it is very interesting and
creditable. Compositions and problems
in arithmetic are on white paper Skill
inches and this sheet put on a cardboard
back llXl4 inches. Each card bears the
name of the school, grade, teacher and
pupil. Some cards 22x2S have six speci-
mems attached.
All these thousands of cards will be
arranged about the walls of the Armory
in Frederick and will be seen by those
who visit that place tomorrow.
The following orders have been issued
and will be followed during the day:
The parade will form on East Church
street, north side, extending from Mark
ct street to the Pennsylvania Railroad
station down Carter street and up Patrick
street, if necessary.
Teachers and schools will arrange them
selves according to Election Districts.
Cards, with the names of Election Dis
tricts printed thereon, will be placed or
carried on f. Church street.
Teachers will take their positions in
line and see that the children are proper
~ arranged Trustees will march with
their respective schools.
A Boy Scout will be stationed with
each district to act as messenger and
as an aide to the teacher. Call on him.
Several automobiles will be along the
line of march to be used in case of illness.
The Boy Scouts will aid.
All trustees, teachers and pupils will
arrange themselves in line according to
the above orders as soon as they arrive
in the city, so that the parade may start
at 9.45 sharp.
The parde will be in columns of skies,
and about eighty inches apart and will
be as follows: Down Market to Patrick,
out West Patrick to Court, up Court to
Church, down Church to Market, up
Market to Third, out Third to Bentz,
where they will be reviewed, and con-
tinue down Bentz street to the Armory
where speaking will be held.
The speakers at the Armory and the
Boys High School will interchange, Civ
ing an opportunity for all patrons, trus-
tees, teachers and pupils to hear both
speakers. This arrangement has been
made because the Armory is not large
enough to accommodate all.
After the speaking at the Armory all
will assemble and march to the Boys
High School grounds, where they will
eat their lunches.
Cards, which have been provided with
district designated, will be placed on the
High School grounds, as headquarters
for each district.
Proper toilet accommodation have
been arranged at the Girls High school,
East Church street, for use before the
parade, also at the Armory and the Boys
High School for use after the parade.
During the afternoon pupils under the
supervision of their teachers may visit
the Armory for the inspection of the
school exhibit.
Athletic contests will be held at the
Boys High School grounds in the after
noon.
Drinking cups will be furnished free.
Prof Harry j. Kefauver will be Mar
shall of the Parade.
