Says Some of Them Are Not Fit
For Good Cattle.

Ocean City. Nd, June 29.-Thc
annual address of DR.. Edward +.
Buchner, of the Johns Hopkins Uni
vcrsity, delivered tonight before mem
bcrs of the Maryland Teachers Asso
citation, of which he is president, was
an appeal for compulsory education
as means of attaining the best pos
sible results from the educational
system of the state.
DR.. Buchncr was inclined to uphold
the county unit system, but said the
state ought to reserve to itself the
right to fix the minimum qualitica-
tons for teaching.
DR.. Buchncr in ticking up the ques-
ton of supervision of the erection and
Improvement of school buildings,
said: THE most scientific part of
education is that of school hygiene
aid sanitation. One cannot visit
many parts of the state without be-
ing impressed by the dismal condi-
tons which greet many children and
teachers when they assemble to take
up their day work. The educational
authority of the state itself ought to
be made directly responsible for the
kinds of buildings that are to be
erected. When a traveller over the
state finds structures called school
houses that would not be adaptable
for housing registered stock, then he
realizes the vast gap existing between
the status of knowledge on this line
and its application to our Maryland
life. The State Board Of Education
should by law be made the final and
responsible authority for the types
and character of new school build
ings, as well as for Improvements of
existing structures.
when the three foregoing condi-
tions are fulfilled, an educational
system, operating under the diverse
phases of life in a modern common
wealth, cannot reach a commendable
state of efficiency without careful and
authoritative supervision of the teach
ing. Without centralized supervision,
intelligently conducted, results of
value fail to make their appearance
in the work of the system. believe
that Maryland needs a cooperative
system of county and state super
visors, so that the right sort of super
vision shall be observable in every
rural, graded and high schools of the
state.

A Chain Is No Stronger
Than Its Weakest Link.

When a blacksmith forges a chain he
tests the individual strength of every
link. If he finds weak one he discards
it, as it impairs the strength and safety
of the entire chain. When a machinist
finds an ill-ftting piece of gearing in
machine he is careful to extract it and
put in it's place a scientifically fitted du-
plicate, for he knows that misfit gear
will cause the entire machine to bump,
and this in time will ruin the entire mech
anism.
The selection of political candidates is
a perfect analogy. The candidate cor
responds to the link or piece Of gearing,
upon the correct fitting and working of
which depends the whole system. If he
is weak man or mis-ft in the Office
in which he is placed, the SUCCESS of the
entire party ticket is endangered. Every
individual upon the ticket is small but
essential part of the great political ma
chine, and the utmost care should there
fore be taken in the selection of the in
dividual candidate. Will you, Mr.. Voter,
cast your vote for weak link orr strong
one, for man who will not fit the office
or for one who will? Carefully consider
the merits of the various candidates of
your choice before voting, and cast your
ballot for the success of the party.
DR.. Austin A. Lamar. of Middletown,
is one of the candidates for the Republi-
can nomination for Register of Wills at
the coming primaries. He is undoubted-
y strong man for the position and will
prove strong link in the Republican
chain He is hard political worker and
can show years of faithful service to the

Praise For Mr.. Stokes.

Editor G. w. Griffith of the Free Meth
odst Church General Conference Daily
paper says:
cone man who does great deal and
says but little about it, is Mr.. H. l.. X.
Stokes, foreman of the Free Methodist
publishing house. AS such, he not only
has the responsibility of the mechanical
work of the Free Methodist, the Sunday
School literature and kindred work, but
at this time gives his personal attention
to the makeup of the general conference
Daily. In addition to all this he is serv-
ing the Illinois conference as one of its
lay representatives in the general con-
ference, and no man has shown keener
interest in every act of important legis-
lation than he. Modest in his manner,
positive in his conviction, and earnest in
his service, his influence is felt and ap-
preciated in the councils of the church
He says he has distinctive call to be a
layman, and as such is making use of his
gifts. The publishing agent is to be con-
graduated in having such an efficient
man at the head of the printing depart
ment."
Mr.. Stokes was born, reared and learn
ed his trade in Thurmont, and it is with
great pleasure we read the abo We testi-
monial of his worth and ability.

Republican party. Hehas given his time
and energy in the past to the party cam
paigns. In fact this is not all that he
has given. In recent political cam
paign, Doctor Lamar, of his own wolf
ton, spent more than $780, 90 in the send
ing out broadcast of Republican litera
ture which had the result of turning a
newspaper-predicted victory by 1900 votes
into majority for the candidate which
Doctor Lamar supported.
No one knew of the matter at the
time but few of the Doctors most
intimate friends, as he was doing this
not for honor or glory, but because of
his unselfsh interest in the welfare of
the Grand Old Party" Nothing could
more convincingly show the Doctors 10y
atty than sacrifice of this kind, and it
will certainly prove to the voters of the
county that he is strong party worker,
a man of determination, and candidate
worthy of their heartiest support.
The most important question is, how
ever, SIS Doctor Lamar capable of suit
ably performing the duties of the Officer"
Unquestionably heis. For great many
years he has conducted a professional
business of his own, and his success in
his practice shows him to be an excellent
business man and capable manager.
AS to his political ability, it is only nee
essary to say'that for aperiod of twenty
years Doctor Lamar has been careful
student of political economy, and has fol-
lowed studiously all of the campaigns
during that time. He is hard political
worker and can certainly serve his party
with intelligence and accuracy. He is
the piece OF gear you are looking for,
Mr.. Voter, and the party machine will
run smoothly and dependently with Doc
tor Lamar in the position of Register of
Wills. He asks your hearty support and
the support of your friends at the COM
ing primary, and promises you that he
will devote faithfully his time and atten-
ton to the best interests of his party.

Why Sell The Old School
Building At Thurmont?
Should 1t Not Be Retained For
Future Use.

Sale bills are out announcing the sale
of the old School Building and Lot at
Thurmont and the question arises, "Why
Sell IT, The cry has already gone up
that the new High School Building is or
soon will be too small to accommodate
the pupils who will apply for admittance.
Here is a solution that seems to be both
a practical and common sense one.
The old building is finely situated and
surrounded by campus that is just be-
ginning to look well as a result of former
tree planting, etc. In year or two 1t
would possibly be one of the most beau
tiful school grounds in the county. The
solution is this. Let the County Com
mssioners and School Board retain the
old build and campus and with some
slight changes in the wav of improved
sanitation, ETC., use it for the benefit of
the smaller children of the school. There
are several good reasons why this should
be done, as advanced by number of
persons.
First, the distance to the new building
on bad days in the winter etc, by the
small children. The old building would
obviate that.
Second, the younger children could
have their own peculiar environments
and play their own games at recess un-
disturbed by the older children.
~ ba ronl Of tha
new building than has been provided and
which could be supplied by the retention
of the old building.
We think it would be both wisdom and
economy for the School Board to retain
the old building. The chances are that
at public sale the property would bring
only very small amount which would
not be at all commensurate Withits value
to the county, and in view of future needs
it would be entirely wrong to sell it es-
pecially if the bids should be low as is
likely to be the case. 1t is valuable
property for anybody, commanding one.
of the best sites in Thurmont, but it is
more valuable to the School Board than
anyone else.
The citizens Of the town are more than
grateful for the beautiful and dignitied
building that is now being erected. They
are proud of it. 1t will become one of
the show places of the town with its sur
roundings 1t is most admirably adapt
ed to serve it's purpose, but its capacity
is limited and for this reason we say,
save the old building 1t will be less ex-
pensive than building an addition in the
very near future.
1t would be ideal in every way for the
proposed kindergarten.
Another reason is that the county is in
need of room in which to hold primary
and general elections in Election Precinct
No. 2 of Mechanicstown District and one
of the rooms of the building would serve
that purpose well. School buildings are
public property and should serve the pub
lie interest to reasonable degree.
The writer hopes the members of the
School Board will think the matter over
before it is too late for can ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure"
