explained. "at the urgent request of my
parents, but, like all good Marylandcrs,

State Of our adoption but loyalty to
the State of our adoption does not inn
pair our loyalty 20 the State of our

look at the geoerapy. added. 'you
will End there are moro necks In
Maryland than IN any State OF tho
Union' Commenting on the news
story of physician permitting a de-
'ective to die. Dr. Temple iocularly
remarked that he hoped no doctors

Or. Temple said, inasmuch as DIR.
Collins had introduced the subject Of
religious liberty under the early Cath
olic regime in Maryland. he desired
TO thank him sincerely for what he
had said. And | want TO add, said
DR.. Temple. that the charter Of re-
ligious liberty brought TO Maryland
and lived up TO then still lives among
the Catholics of the United States
<rDr Temple said he had come into
Possession Of some OF the old laws
= OF Maryland. and from a perusal OF
them he felt that the greatness Of
Maryland rose and fell with tobacco.
Another large part of the laws. he
said. dealt with slaves. and the third
topic that bulks largest in the early
laws is the Established Church OF
England DR. Temple said he found
many references TO Indians In the
earlier laws. and cited an instance
where the Choptank Tribe had been
given a big grant of land along the
river Of that name for surrendering
some murderers. They were 10 pay
six beaver skins annually for the land.
81 believe that If some persons would
take up the marshes OF Maryland and
raise beavers today they would make
almost rs much as IL they were work
ing for tho DUPONT Company" re-
marked Dr. Temple. Another old law
lac found was that requiring the main

and there also was 10 be school in
zach county. He commented that there
was difficulty IN the early days in get
ting competent teachers for the
schools, and also said the standard Of

time was not the highest There was
nothing said about sanitary laws for
