SCHOOL BOARD FILLS
SEVERAL SCHOLARSHIPS.
superintendent Spaid to Decide
Tomorrow Whether or Not He
Will Remain-Believed by Many
That He Will Accept Washing
ton County Appointment.

The School Commissioners of the
county met this morning and trans
acted a considerable volume OF
business, scholarships to Western
Maryland College and the State
Normal School being filled. W.Wil-
son Wingate, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles M. M. Wingate, of Bish-
ops Head, was appointed to the
four-year scholarship to Western
Maryland College, and Misses Leah
Moore, of Crocheron, and Gladys
Johnson, of Toddville, were ap-
pointed to vacancies at the State
Normal School.
Prof. A. R. Spaid, County Super
intendent of schools, took UP with
the Board the question of his re-
cent appointment as supervising
principal of the Washington county
public schools, and stated that art
er comforting with the School
Board of that county, which meets
tomorrow, at Hagerstown, he would
definitely decide whether or not
he would accept the position which
had been rendered hin. He stat
~s that he was unable to reach a
decision at this time, because OF the
fact that there were number OF
details in connection with the
work in that county with which
he was not familiar, and that he
preferred to go over the matter
carefully before arriving at de
cision.
The impression prevails among a
number of the members of the
Board that Prof. Spaid will accept
the appointment, in which event
the SUPPLEMENTARY of the locaI
county schools will be vacant.

From various sources there come
rumors of the fact that several
| persons are endeavoring to get UP
parties of working people to 60
| to different sections of the coun-
| try to work. This is a nice little
scheme for those getting up such
parties, as they are paid so much
for each person they can persuade
| to go to these different sections,
consequently, the more persons thew
can persuade to go, the more they
make. Whether those leaving COM
Portable homes and enduring the
hardships and inconvenience which
are inseparable from the life which
one is compelled to lead in the
camps and barracks, such as are
provided for them, make anything
or not, is not matter of concern
to those who get them to go; their
concern is to get the people to
go, for they get so much a head,
and the more heads, the more mo-
ney.
Speaking frankly and plainly to
the Iaboring people of Cambridge,
there is not the slightest reason
why a single person should leave
Cambridge to seek work; there is
now, and will be within the next
few days, all the work that any
one can desire; the amount to be
earned is as large here as any
where, under similar conditions;
Cambridge people can live in their
own homes more comfortably, more
healthlly and more happily than
they can anywhere else. The con-
ditions surrounding their work
here are better than can be found
elsewhere. because they are certain
of plenty of work, which is not
the case at many other places, and,
in addition to this, the conditions
under which they work here are
SoLlobSNFS " EooOu hCdNlL dho
happiness, and the aocumula ton of
some savings, than anywhere else,
and, in addition to the pure drink
ing water and other more healthy
conditions than are usually to be
found in the average smaller place,
in the event of sickness or acct
dents, there are friends and rela-
tives here to take care of their
families, and to see that those
needing hospital attention are TAX
en- promptly to the local hospital.
If there are any who are serious
ly thinking of going away from
Cambridge, in order to do the
same class of work they would
dc here, they should stop and con-
slider these facts. There is NO
probability of any scarcity of labor
here, for within twenty-four hours
any man in need of labor can go
to the nearby cities, Baltimore,
Washington, Wilmington and PIN
adelphia, and find thousands
white men and women, who
be only too glad of the opportiA-
to come to the country. Many of
them have for years pursued this
method of earning a livelihood, that
of going from one section to the
other and working. Should it be
necessary to go to these cities for
such help, and should those from
Cambridge who have gone else
where to seek employment, fail to
find the conditions as satisfactory.
or the work as plentiful as they
expected, what would be the re-
suit? Simply this, they would re
turn home and find these outside
people filling the jobs which they
should have.
