Summer Training School.

The Johns Hopkins University
has just announced summer school
for the training of school attendance
officers to be appointed under the
General Education Bill passed by the
last session of the legislature. The
course is given in cooperation with
the Alliance of Charitable and Social
Agencies, an organization made up
of twelve leading charities of the
State, which is offering scholarships
to all actual appointees to the posi-
ton of School Attendance officer.
Cecil County is required under the
law to appoint school attendance
officer. This officer will often have
delicate tasks to perform. Parents
as rule realize that their children
ought to go to school, and when
they do not send them it is often
because there are financial or other
family difficulties to overcome. The
most important work, of the attend
ance officer is to help overcome these
difficulties. The officer who simply
forces children into school is not
really doing the job. 1t is the one
who finds out why they are absent,
or attend irregularly, and then
remedies the difficulty, that is a
success. To do this work success
fully requires tact, training and a
knowledge of the agencies that can
help to solve many different kinds
of problems. The attendance officer
must know how to deal wisely with
deaf, blind, or crippled children, and
with parents who are poor, ignorant,
shiftless, or immoral.
To give practical training for such
work is the object of this course
Each student will have fieldwork
with typical school attendance cases
which will be supplemented by con-
ference and lectures. The course
will be under the supervision of Mr..
George L. Jones, General Secretary
of the Maryland Children's Aid Soci-
ETY., assisted by Miss Aida, l.. Arms
trong of the same society and Miss
Theo Jacobs of the Federated Chari-
ties. Among the lecturers will be
DR.. VIM. Burdick, DR.. ]. w. Mag
ruder.e Mr.. J. H. Hershner, Mr.. Leon
G. Faulkner, DR.. G. Hampton Jones,
and others.
State Superintendent, Mr.. Bates
Stephens, approves the course and
wants IS many attendance officers as
possible to take it. 1t is hoped that
the attendance officer of Cecil
County will be selected by the school
board at an early date and arrang-
ments made for the appointee to
take the course.

AN OPEN INITIATION


arrived in Chicago, ten days ago, 1
have been struck with the absolute
need of the radicals of Chicago hav-
ing a common meeting place. 1 do
not mean for that place to be mOnOp-
oIzed by any particular section of
the radical movement. In Europe 1
refer especially to London. Before
the war they had places where every
one of advanced thought could meet
and really enjoy themselves and also
discuss the various topics of the day.
I fail to see why the trade Unionists,
industrial Unionists, single takers,
Socialists, Democrats, Republicans
and other members of society should
not meet together and exchange
their opinions.
What would be more enjoyable
than to see Allen Steven and a few
of his Forum opponents meeting to-
gether and thrashing out the ques-
ton they say much discuss. Last
Saturday Mr.. Wentworth stated why
he was going to vote for Wilson. Next
week a Republican will state why he
is going to vote for Hughes. After

they have stated their views the
week after a Socialist will state why
he is going to vote for Benson. So
you see the people who get around
Liberty hall hear every side of the
question, and only by throwing our
views into the public arena will we
ever get to the full knowledge of the
truth.
In addition, we have on Thursday
dramatic club which will perform the
plays of prominent writers; also on
Sunday morning at II an economic
class; on Wednesdays we have an
orchestral and chorus society. On
Sunday we have a free and easy day,
when we have singing, dancing, re-
citing and various other kinds of
amusement and interest.
To all your readers 1 extend a spe-
cial invitation and trust they will
visit the hall next Saturday night,
and feel sure they will be agreeably
surprised.-Jack Carney.

TRUE PATRIOTISM.-When eacl


man and woman throughout the
length and breadth of this land of
ours comes to a knowledge and reali-
zation of the unseIfish life we shall
have the ideal nation. For the more
of our lives we give to others, the
fuller and richer all lives will be be-
cause of us. "He that lOseth his life
shall find it," meaning, am sure,
that he who is continually giving his
time, his energy and his ability to
and enrich the lives of
others will in those self-same en-
riched and Uplifted spirits find the
reward Of his effort.
Thus in making your life part of
a thousand other lives, so will your
own life become a thousand times
more radiant with the true patriot
ism that is the great element behind
the nation ideal - Bertha w. Bel
