Educational Survey Of Maryland.

Serious defects in public education in
this State are pointed out by the Maryland
Educational Survey Commission in their
report, which was submitted Monday to
the Governor and members Of the General
Assembly. Drastic recommendations for
the improvement Of the elementary and
secondary schools are made with the view
of divorcing them from politics. as the
Commission says mo legislation will pro-
duce results unless our schools are taken
out Of politics"
Some Of the striking points in the report,
briefly stated. are as follows:
About 10 per cent Of the elementary
teachers in Maryland more-may be
called well trained Not quite one-third
could on a stretch be called fairly well
trained. At least one-third are practically
unframed.
Three county superintendent have had
less than high school education and four Of
them never went beyond the high school.
The county superintendents are elected
by the politically constituted county boards.
The politicians view the county superin-
tency as "spoils." And in most counties
the Indifference of the people permits them
to dispose Of 1t on that basis.
The education furnished is mostly poor
is it also cheap? Between 1870 and 1914
the actual expenditure for each pupil in
school attendance increased from $l2.06
to $20.84.
The method used by the County Com
missioners for granting funds aids them
to shirk their responsibilities.
Unless the people Of Maryland effectually
demand their educational officers shall be
chosen on the ground Of fitness and that
political influence be eliminated the mere
rewriting Of the statutes will not work any
miracles.
The county boards are in the main seri-
ously infected with politics.

Lake Swamp Has Scare.

From gentleman living on Lake
Swamp, in Horny county, the re-
porter learned that a strange ami
NAL was causing some alarm in that
usually quiet community. 1t was
stated that last Friday morning
Patrick Gerald found where one of
his hogs had been killed and partly
eaten by some cloven-foot animal.
There was indications that the hog
was dragged for a considerable dis
tance to the fence jam before being
devoured, which showed that the
varmint was of large size, and specu-
lation was ripe as to what species it
was. some declaring that the track
was that of a bear, while others
claimed it tu be wild cat.
Saturday morning Mr. Gerald's
little son left home riding a mule.
He carried basket of corn to feed
the geese, which was in distant
field. On his return he noticed a
large animal crouthing along the
road side in I'll bushes, and the boy
fearing an attack, put whip to his
mule and got a"":a as ;ast as he
could. Thestrange animal gave chase,
all the time keeping in the bushes.
The chase was kept up for more
than half mile, and when near Mr.
Gessald's home. the animal scratched
up the ground and disappeared.
Again hounds were secured and put
on the trail. but they refused to run
it. The people over there are much
worked up over the matter and de-
clare that they propose to hunt until
they find and kill the intruder

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS.
Workers Hope to Realize 1,0OO,-

Three hundred million Red Cross
Christmas seals are being printed in
Cincinnati for the annual holiday
campaign to be conducted under the
joint auspices of the American Red
Cross and the National Ass0ciatiod
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-

The campaign for the sale Of Red
Cross seals this year will be larger
than ever before. Though in 1915
the sale reached the record total Of
SO,OOO,O0O seals, bringing in $780,
900, it is expected that this year at
least 100, 100000 seals or s. 1000, 900
worth will be sold. The sale will be
organized from Alaska to the Canal
Zone and from Hawaii to Porto Rico.
Every State and Territory in the
United States will have seals on sale
New organizations will be working
in a number of the Western States,
including Montana. Utah and Wyo-
ming. Distribution of the seals is
now under way.
The Red Cross Christmas seal for

The Ticks Tax On Diaries.

Washington, D c, September A.
There is not uncommon idea that
if cow does not die from Texas
fever, the cattle tick is doing it no
great harm. Native cattle. it is as
serted, are immune to the tick.
There could be no greater mistake.
Cattle may become immune to the
fever but none of them ever becomes
immune to the loss of the blood that
the tick sucks out. With steers this
loss means reduced weight and low
er prices; with dairy cows it means
smaller milk production and CORES
pondingly smaller profits.
Government tests conducted stimuli.
taneously, under identical conditions,
with ticky and tick-free herds show
that ticks reduce the milk flow from
1S to AZ per cent, the exact amount
depending, of course, upon the
severity of the infestation. Trans
late this statement into dollars and
cents and the true meaning of the
tick to the dairy industry becomes
obvious.
Let us assume that a man owns a
herd of twenty cows each of which,
under normal conditions. yields eight
quarts day and that ne can sell
the milk for five cents quart. His
gross revenue then is SS day from
his herd. If few ticks are allow
ed to feed upon his COWS and their
production is cut down eighteen per
cent, his gross revenue is only $3.50
day. If each COW is MIXED on an
average 200 days in the year. his an
nual gross revenue is lowered from
81 800 to $3.50. This is the mini
mum loss from the tick. If the in
festation is very heavy and the pro-
duction lowered az per cent the rev.
enue is cut from $1,000 to $93O-a
loss of $3.50 year.
This loss is absolute; there is no
reduction in the cost or labor of
feeding to offset it. Neither is it
possible to overcome it by increas-
ing the amount of feed. Cows
carrying ticks" says the govern
ment re port of the tests, did not
increase their flow of milk when the
feed was increased as did the tick
free cows" In other words, the
feed went to the ticks and not to
the COWS.
The practical experience of the
people confirms the conclusions of
the Government investigators. In
the tick-infested sections Of the
South dairying is not an important
industry. The farmer may cling, if
he wishes, to the deiusion that the
tick is harmless to immune cattle,
but he is not likely IL put his faith
to the test by investing in dairy
cows. He knows from his own and
his neighbor's experience that they
will make little money for him. On
the other hand, where the tick has
been eradicated, dairying is coming
more and more ir,o favor. Silos
are being built. pu; c-bred stock is
being introduced, the herds are get
ting better, they are being better
cared for, and they are paying better.
