BALTIMORE CITY'S SONG

The Mayor of Baltimore offers a
prize of $3.50 to be paid for an accept
ed poem on Baltimore" one suited to
become a civic hymn and, therefore,
to be clothed with a musical garb
Competent judges have been selected
and the contest is on.
1t is true that seldom does rivalry
of the kind give work of the very
highest order, but, on the other hand,
ii need not be mediocre nor fall below
the needs of the hour. Much depends
on the contestants and the willingness
of artists of the first order to com
pete. Entirely apart from the pecun-
iary award the honor of having writ
ten a clssic municipal song is only
less than that of composing a national
air. Consequently there is nothing in
the goal aimed at that is at all mean
or insignificant Quite the contrary.
Nor is there anything intrinsically
belittling in a contest with a money
prize as an additional reward to the
victor, especially when the donor is
the city acting through it's chief Off
cial. Our impression is that. as city
planning as fine art evolves in the
United States, as ccmunity-congcioIs
ness deepens and broadens and takes
on more enduring forms, as city flags.
city pageants and city stadia multiply.
II will be as natural for cities and
towns to have their own civic hymns
as it was for the nations to have
theirs. For local patriotism is to ex
pand during the rext quarter of a CEN
tury. The reaction against nation
alism" carried to its extreme will
probably work in two ways, one IA
voTable to internationalism and the
other to localism
There is TO be more home rule more
community feeling more definite effort
to assimilate divergent classes and
races, better instruction by. school
church and press, as 10 local history
and grounds for community pride. and
more frequent assembling of the peo-
pie for civic festivals and pagenats
and community statecraft. All the arts
are TO have their share in this new
era's fruiting out of pride and affec-
ton; and music, naturally, Is to be
called upon to come TO the aid of the
poet in giving a song to the people
which will be theirs in a distinctive
way making It nonusable by any other
community because it is so colored
with significance peculiar to the CITY
of ist birth.-Christian Science Mon

MANY BEG WHO
SHOULD BE WORKING.
Church Should Not be Voluntarily De-
pendent, Wonderful Record Of DR..
Moses Breeze.

"If YOU secured money in business
life like you secure it from the Boards
of Home Missions, you would be jailed
for getting money under false pretens-
es.v says DR.. Moses Breeze. who has
brought over one hundred mission
churches up to self-support, churches
which had depended on outside aid for
an average of over quarter OF a
century
DR.. Breeze will tell of his work at
the Country Life Conference at Col
lege Park, August 4. 5 and 6. His phe
nomenal success, he maintains, is not
due to an unusual personality, but
rather the emphasizing of certain fun
damentals through which he convin-
ces communities that they should and
can support their own churches. He
is Welsh by birth He landed in New
York i'm 1892. with $50 in his pocket.
He went to Wisconsin where he work
ed his way through the State Uuiyer-
sity. lie found time to play a star
game for three years as a a half-back
on the varsity football team.
When he entered the ministry he
took a rune down country church by
preference. His salary was $3.50. The
church was thirty-three years old and
had thirty members. His salary was
soon raised. The church began giving
the missions it built up the community
and today every one in the neighborh-
hood goes to church.
1t has an equipment worth $4,000;
gives 81 600 per year TO the Missions
and pays its minister a salary of ST.
$50 And yet Cambria Wis, is still
eight miles from railroad, ncr has
its population increased at more than
the usual rate. So are the other hun
dred churches he has brought up to
self-support anly average cases under
average conditions. His participation
in the conference at College Park
should be of great value TO Maryland
ministers, for hundreds OF them face
the problem of insufficient support.

Prof. Handy Accepts.

Professor Sydney S. Handy. who is in
New Yokr taking a summer course at
Columbia College, on Thursday wrote
letter to Secretary Of the School
Board for Talbot county, rendering
his resignation as principal of the
Easton High School, to accept the
chair of English in st. Johns College
Annapolis.
Professor Handy has been principal
of the Easton High School for thirteen
years, during which time he has
brought the school up to a state Of
high efficiency, and has been one Of
Easton's most progressive and active
citizens, and has hosts of friends here
who are loath to see him and his fam
lily leave.
In securing Professor Handy, St
Johns College has obtained the SER
vices of an able teacher and instructor
and Annapolis a most progressive citi-
zen, who will work hard for the ad-
vancement of the city's interest in
every way possible. -Easton Ledger.

NEEDS OF SPELLING BEE
MEASURING SPELLING ABILITY.
Schools Show Small Percentage Of
Good Spoilers.

Seven out of every one hundred
third-grade public school children car
not spell has" This and other Gu
rious evidences of the special prob
lens inherent in the teaching of spell
ing are brought out by DR.. Leonard p.
Ayres. OF the Russell Sage Founda-
ton, in a study just published.
AS a result of combining the four
most extensive studies that have been
made TO identify the words commonly
used in diff sorts of English writ
ing, Or. Ayres has selected the 1000
words that constitute 80. per cent Of
the language ordinarily used
This selection was made from va
rious English authors, from four sun
day newspapers, of Buffalo. y Y, and
from the business and family cores
pondence of over two thousand adults.
The object of the study was to "de-
velop scale for measuring attain
ment in the spelling of common words
on the part of school children.
Cooperating with the city superin-
tendents in eighty-four cities of the
United States. DR.. Ayres had the 600
commonest words tested by an ag-
gregate of 100000 spellings. seour-
cd from 10000 public scohol children.
The result, according to Or. Ayres.
made it possible to accurately meas
ure spelling ability, and to compute
the amount Of improvement in spell
ing the same words from grade to
grade.
BY a scale arrangement, extending
from a line from to 100. spelling
ability" is easily and scientifically de-
termined. For example, nine words of
most frequent use, viz: the" lin
$50" no" now" man ten bed"
top" revealed that second-grade pu-
pills, on an average. spelled correctly
"a per cent OF these words. At the
other extreme of the scale the words
judgment" recommend" and "al-
lege"were found to be spelled correct
~ by just so per cent. of eighth grade
pupils. Percentages above and below
these would indicate variations from
the normal in spelling.
Dr. Ayres finds that intellectual
abilities are distributed in much the
same way among people as are physi-
cal traits. Just as three are few
dwarfs, many people OF medium height
and very few giants,so there are very
few poor spoilers, many medium ones.
and very few excellent ones. Few
words do most of our work when we
write. Fifty words constitute, with
their repetitions one-half of the words
written The child who masters the
one thousand words on the scale given
will make no spelling errors in nine
tenths of his writing.

The Cornelian Cherry.

Little need be said to establish the
value of hardy shrubs for the pro-
duction of durable and lasting land
scape effects. For constructing foli-
age masses which will persist through
the changing seasons no class of
planting material Is at all compare
BILE. And when this foliage mass is
enlivened, as at Towering time, with
gorgeous streaks and splashes of
color the worth Of shrubbery is ac-
centuated. Should the blossoms be
followed by a crop Of attractive
fruits the decorative value of the
bush is doubled.
A subject of notable value on ac-
count of its conspicuous, highly-col-
ored berries Is the Cornelian cherry
(Cornus mas). Long known in Eu-
rope and occasionally seen in old
paintings of the Eastern States, this
valuable bush is still uncommon in
most parts of the country. Neat,
compact and shapely in habit, the
Cornelian cherry is a rather erect,
small tree, having a fine growth of
glossy foliage and ranging in height
from 10 to Is feet. The size and
distinctive shape Of the tree make 1t
of unusual value for grouping, and
a colony of half dozen specimens is
striking feature on any lawn, par
ticularly If it be surrounded or bor-
dered on one side with some lower
growing cornus, spirea or viburnum.
The very small, yellow blossoms
open before any appearance OF
leaves, appearing at the same time
as the forsythias and a few of the
very earliest Towering shrubs. The
oblong fruits, having the size of
small plums, take on their brilliant,
glowing scarlet hues in late August
and for several weeks are center
of attraction. Besides their decor
ative worth the fruits have consider
able culinary value and may be made
the source of an appetizing jelly,
quite similar to that obtained from
cranberries. w E. Bontrager, Ohio

Cut Flowers Kept Fresh.

Flowers cut several hours before
really needed and placed Immediately
in water keep better than those fresh
ly cut. The reason for this is that the
fragile stems, when we'll filled with
water, do not droop as quickly as
those that have only their own juices
to draw upon. Gather flowers in
the early morning II wanted at night,
and the night before II they are
wanted to be at their best the fol-
lowing noon. A little salt in the
water helps to keep them. Never
place them on ice, as in that case
