For Educational Mass Meeting.

The County Superintendent of Pub
lie Schools II now engaged In formu-
lating plans for an Educational Mass
Meeting and Public School Exhibit
Day in Westminster On Friday, May
~. lit will be recalled that a meeting
of this kind was held in October, 1913,
and met with large degree of sue
cess in' spite of very unfavorable
weather conditions. AT that time a
parade of school children from all
parts of the county was to have been
the principal feature. IA terrific down
pour OF rain, lasting the entire day
made it impossible to hold the parade,
but the other features of the program
were carried out a. originally plann-
ed, and a great deal Of interest and
enthusiasm was manifested in the
work Of our schools. Since that time
the State Board OF Education has
School Exhibit Day regularly once a
year in each county. 1T j. in accord
ance with this section OF the State
Board that the meeting is being
planned for May z. AT the former
meeting large number of patrons and
friends OF the public schools from Ill
sections Of the county were present,
and it is estimated that a thousand
school children, including the pupils
OF the Westminster schools, were
ready to take their places in the
parade. 1t is confdentially expected
that this year, under favorable CON
ditions, at least double that number
will be present and take part in the
exercises of the day. These will in
clude "a exhibit of school work from
Ill parts Of the county, in the rooms
on the first floor of the High School
Building; a demonstration of Agri-
cultural work by Prof. j. *. Smith, OF
the Agricultural Department Of the
Mt. Airy High School, in Assembly
Hall; parade of school children,
marching under banners of their re
spective schools, headed by band or
music. The above events will be held
in the forenoon. In the afternoon
mass melting will be held at which
addresses will be delivered by educa-
tors of prominence in the State and
Nation. This meeting will be follow
cd by Field Day Events, open to Ill
pupils Of the public schools OF the
county. Prizes will be given to the
winners, and the best performers I'm

Head on the Flies.

From the first the idea uppermost

team work, a. IL were, i'm destroying

good deal of pleasure that we heard
confessions on all sides, that the re-
duction OF the flies i'm the past sum
mer had led many people to change
their minds on the ultimate elimin-
alton of flies from the city. The con-
version of the business men, especial
~ those dealing in food-stuffs, was
gratifying because the burden of the
work naturally falls on the men
whose merchandise il attractive to
flies.
One man who spent nearly half
century in the Cleveland markets
said: "I thought the idea was wild
enough to have originated in the
asylum. / couldn't imagine summer
without, flies. But I want to apollo

worked, and how they reduced the
number of flies in our market, went

NO cleaner market in the city"
This man refused to believe that
flies breed in stable refuse, until he
had experimental for himself, and
Matched a great number in box OF
manure he had kept closed a few
days.
