ILL MAN JUMPS
OUT WINDOW.
JAMES H. CUE NOW In SERIOUS CON-
DITi0N FROM SHOCK.

Getting out of his bed unknown to
the occupants Of the house, and while
delirious, James II. Cue, aged about
rs years, Of near Mt. Airy, walked to
the second story window of the house
and jumped to the ground about TWEEN
~ feet below. As a result he is now
in a precarious condition and it is
feared that the shock may result
fatally.
Mr. Cue has been making his home
with his daughter, Mrs. Sandy Multi
nix, and has been in rather bad health
for the past four or five weeks, al
though he has not been confined to
the bed all of the time.
1t was six o'clock December 2.
and about ten minutes after he had
been left in the room alone, when
Mr.. Cue, delirious, got up from his
bed, hurriedly dressed, walked to the
window and jumped out.
Persons in the house who were in
the room directly beneath Mr.. Cues,
heard the noise and ran to investi-
gate. They found the aged man lying
in heap by the side OF the house.

Compulsory School Attendance.

A pamphlet has been issued by the
Maryland State Federation OF Women's
Clubs entitled What Shall the Women
DO About Compulsory School Attend
ance% 1t states as follows: The
General Assembly of 1914 adjourned
without enacting a statewide compul-
sorry school attendance law. The law
of 1912 requires school attendance in
Baltimore City, makes it optional in
AZ counties, and specifically exempts
six counties from its operation. This
condition of affairs raises several fun
damental questions in the light OF a
number of facts which are to be found
i'm the reports of the United States
Census and OF the Maryland State
Board Of Education.
Under the law OF 1912 nine
counties are making an effort to Sc
cure larger attendance of children
Baltimore, Caroline, Dorchester, Fred
erick, Hartford, Montgomery, Prince
George, Queen Anne and Talbot
Reports from these counties show a
slight increase in enrolment and a
high increase in average attendance
for the months when the law is en-
forced.
In the remaining eight counties
there is practically no enforcement OF
the law-Allegany, Carroll, Cecil
Charles, Calvert, Garrett, Washington
and Wicomico."
Last year the State of Maryland APP
portioned a school tax Of about 1894
per child on the enumeration Of 252,0S1
children in our counties.
OF these, 1878 was a total number
Of different pupils in our county
schools.
or these, 146,714 were enrolled on
January 1st, 1915.
or these, 1O5,0O3 was the average
number in attendance in the year
1914-15.
What has become of the 54,7S3
children whose names had gotten on
the registers Of the schools in our
counties?
