Some Things a School Teacher W0ulo
Like to Know.
Communicated

April rs. 1916.
Dear Editor With apologies to all. /
am asking a few questions through
your paper.
Can anyone tell why Dr. Garner
waits until seven or eight weeks be-
fore school closes TO designate the
teachers for summer school And
what time does that give them 70 pre-
pare? That is in this way, How ON
earth can any girl save from seventy
tive to one hundred dollars in that
space OF time? They surely cannot
beg It, Common decency does not al
low thieving. and the only way out for
the teacher is debt, pure and simple
WHY cannot these teachers be desig
mated at the beginning of the schoo,
term. so as to allow them time to pre-
pare? Here is another thing. Is
there a law compelling a girl to go 10
summer school after she has passed
the teachers examinations ami re-
ceiyed a certificate. and was it passed
by the General Assembly of Maryland
/ would also like to ask what right
has Dr. Garner to send out letters TO
every teacher in Anne Arrnsiel county
soliciting his -eappointment. I think
il is about time the people who pay
their perfectly good money to help run
The schools. have some little voice in
these matters. especially this summer
school graft. Let us hope. with new
school board. there will be q few other
new changes. And, il possible. posi-
tons that are almost civil service,
done away with. And, for heavens
sake. give the teachers a chance.
There is little more than eight weeks
to prepare for a (good time) called
summer school. INEZ.

 McGIynn and I looked around. A tall, perfectly dressed figure stood on the sidewalk surveying us quizzically. This was a smooth shayen man of per haps thirty-fve years of age grave faced, clean cut, with an air of rather ponderous, slow dignity that neyerthe- less became his style very well. He was dressed in tall white hat, a white i winged collar, a black stock, long l tailed blue. coat with gilt buttons, an | embroidered white .waistcoat, dapper l buff trousers and varnished boots. He carried a polished cane and wore sev- l eral heavy pieces of gold jewelry-a 1 watch fob. a scarfpin, and the like. 1 His movements were 1eisure1y, his | voice low.

 We talked the situation oyer thor oughly and then turned in, having lost our chance to see the sights. Beneath us and in the tent next door went on a tremendous row of talking, laugh ing and singing that fora little while prevented me from falling asleep But the last month had done wonders for me in that way, and shortly dropped of.
 Hours later I awakened, shivering with cold, to find the moonlight pour ing into the room and the hunks all occupied. My blanket had disappear ed, which accounted for my dreams of icebergs At first I felt inclined to raise row, then thought better of it and by careful manipulation abstract ed two good blankets from the most unprotected of my neighbors and soon slept soundly.
 We went downstairs and out into the sweetest of mornings. The sun was bright, the sky clear and blue. The wind had not yet risen; balny warmth showered down through every particle Of the air. I had felt some May days like this back oh our O. farm. Some how they were associated in my mind with Sunday morning and the draWI ing, lazy cIucI1ing of hens. Only here there were no hens, and if it was Sun day morning it might have been-nobody knew it.
 We ate a frugal breakfast and sep arated on the agreed business of the day. Tank started for the water front to make inquiries as to ways of get ting to the mines, Talbot set off at a businesslike pace for the hotel as though he knew fully what he was about, Johnny wandered rather aim less1y to the east and as aimlessly to the west.
 It took me just one hour to discover that. I could get all of any kind o1 work that any dozen men could do and at wages so high that at first I had tc ask over and over again to make sure I had heard aright Only none of then would bring me in $22O by evening The further I looked into that propo sition the more absurd, of course, saw it to be. I could earn from $20 tt $50 by plain day labor at some jobs or could get fabulous salaries by the month or year, but that was diff ferent. After determining this to my satisfaction came to the sensible con / clusion that I would make what aoalld.
