Address Teachers At Tome.

Miss Sara L. Patrick of Teachers Col
lege, Columbia University. addressed the
teachers of The Jacob Tome Institute and
about IS of the teachers of Cecil County
on the subject of Industrial Arts and their
correlation with other school work.
DR.. Baker, head master of the Tome
School, was present at the opening of the
session and welcomed the visiting teach
ers, and expressed it as the desire of his
schools to cooperate with the schools of
the county in every way and to render
them every possible service.
Miss Patrick impressed the teachers
that it was not necessary to change the
Course of Study but that in teaching
reading, writing, and arithmetic. the sub
ject matter should be taken from our In
dustrial subjects and our Industrial life
and thus while pupils are acquiring the
tools of education they are. at the same,
time. becoming acquainted with the life
about them.
A luncheon was served to the school
and the guests and after the afternoon
session quite social gathering was held
at the Junior School.

tomobile license during the fiscal year of
1914 is $2o5 $50 27. This fund is devoted
to the upkeept of state highways, and it
has reached such proportions that with
the revenue derived from one cent of the
state tax rate sum is in sight which is
almost sufficient to provide for road main
tenance without additional taxes. The
estimate of maintenance is about $3.50
per mile throughout the state.
Included in the net revenues of the past
year are about $4,000 in fines, In 1913
the amount included about ST. 500 in fines.
In making up the net revenue Commis-
sioner Roe first deducted the cost of all
clerical work, the cost of tags. road signs

AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION in
CONTROL.
State Road In Upper Part OF
County Not To Be Completed.

At the meeting of the Cecil Farmers
Club held April 2T, at the home of John
H. Kimble, near Port Deposit, the COM
mittee appointed in the interest of the
completion of Rising Sun-Fair Hill State
road made a report which goes long
way toward substantiating the claim of
the taxpayers of upper Cecil county,
that not only is the State Roads Com
mission dominated by the automobile as
sociations but it is these-same automo-
bile associations that are preventing the
completion of the State road in this sec
ton of Cecil county. as originally planned
by the Commission. 1t is very plaid now
that the taxpayers of upper Cecil county
will have to fight for every foot of State
road in Northern Cecil in future. as the
powers in control of the State Commission
do not intend any more of the States
money shall be expended in this section.
The report of the committee follows:
The committee on Rising sun-Fair Hill road
after two personal visits of one of our men,
| bers, and after failing to receive any reply to
letter requesting an interview with the
Good Roads Commission, make the following
report:-sSo far as we are able to determine
from conversation with officials of the State
Roads Commission, and others with influence
in road matters, there is no intention to con-
meet the links of roads as first laid out in this
county, and started by the first State Roads
Commission. The large sum of money coming
into our county by law Of last legislature has
been spent on the roads running along the P.
B. wv railroad, as requested by the Inter.
national Automobile Association, and against
the interests of the tax payers of the county.
New York interests seem to control the situa-
tion and further seem to be opposed to im
proving the other road. In view of past his
tory we believe they will do all in their power
to prevent us from having any say where the
money we pay In taxes shall be SPENT This
report is unanimously endorsed by the Club.
