one in school maintenance. The av-
erage salary for the nation in 1911 was
1856. 40 and for Maryland S502. 81.
Fifteen States pay larger salaries.
Estimated on expense per capita of
school population, to Is, for the
nation, S17.97, and for Maryland it is
S1165. Fifteen States pay less, and
yet in the report of the Russell Sage
Foundation only two States raise less
for schools in proportion to wealth.
''5. The report shows that Mary
land has no laws relative to medical
inspection of school and scholars and
no laws relative to schoolhouse con-
structiOn.
Considerable progress has been made
since 1910 in regard to the first topic.
While we have no Statewide plan for
medical inspection, school boards here
and there are encouraging it and much
benefit has come to our school popula-
ton. The Maryland Society of Social
Hygiene, Society for the Prevention
of Blindness, The Maryland Anti
tuberculosis Society and similar organ
izations have been studying with our
teaching force in the Instute and Teach
ers' Association the cause of the spread
of disease and the means of prevention
For the reason there is no Statewide
mandatory provision for such inspection
it is hardly fair to assume that nothing
has been done along this line. We have
had no compulsory school attendance
laws, nevertheless, One-fifth of our
whole population go to school.
This showing is almost as good as
in some States where compulsory ed
ucation obtains. Maryland needs a
Statewide attendance law, and man
datory at that. The State Board of
Education has been advocating such a
measure but the cry Of additional eX-
pense has had an unwarranted effect.
We need more money-much more mon
ey-so that our standard can be raised
and every child of school age guaran-
teed an elementary education at least.
The school people of the State have
agreed upon a legislative program
which if enacted into law will raise our
entire school system TO plane of COM
mendable efficiency.
with the aid of the press, that our
school needs may be presented to every
parent in such way that he will re-
alize his sense Of duty to his child an6
his obligations to the state, there viii
come an awakening of interest and 2
demand for better school conditions
which will require that no schoolhouse
shall be constructed unless the plans
are approved by an architect or the
State Department of Education.

MURDERS WIFE, THEN
Ate MPTS SUICIDE.
italian Finds Former In Company
With Alleged Affinity.

Finding her in company with another
man, PietrO ConOsante attacked his
wife at her home in Blaine, w. Va,
across the river from KirZmiller, this
county, with a razor, cutting her throat
from ear to ear. She died before the
arrival of physicians. The man then
pulled the blade across his own throat,
inflicting a long but not deep cash.
He was rushed to the Hoffman hospi-
tai at Keyser, where it is said he will
recover. Sheriff Nethkin. of Mineral
county, Is conducting an investigation.
The alleged affinity left Blaine when he
learned OF the tragedy and has not been
seen In that section since.
The tragedy occurred on Wednesday
and the details were just learned this
morning.
Contosante arrived from New York
Wednesday and at once began inquir-
ing as to the whereabouts of his wife.
The woman lived at Blaine at the
nome of an Italian day laborer. She
mad told people that her name was
Aicoyn.
Discovering the abode of his wife,
COntOsante, it is said, besOughC hel to
leave the man with whom she was
living and return with her babe to his
home in New York, where he was car
ing for their two children. 1t is said
the woman refused and that ne in rage
and desperation sliced razor and at
tackled her.
Her throat was deeply cut from ear
to ear and death was almost instan-
taneous. The man then made an at
tempt on his own life. With the bloody
razor he SlaShed his throat from one
ear to the other, but the blade did not
penetrate deeply enough to touch Vi
tai artery.
Contosante was soon placed in Gus
tody and was rushed to the Keyser
hospital, where it was found that his
wound was not serious and that he
would soon recover. Two special
guards have him under surveillance.
The body of the woman was taken to
the Barrick & Right morgue. An en-
deaver has been made to get into COM
munication with relatives. 1t is likely
that burial win be made in Blaine.
