Public School Activities.

since a number of requests have come
to the Department of Education for sus-
sestions as to the programs and work of
Home and School Associations. outlines
have been mailed to all schools for the
associations.
One organization in the community. with
the school as the center. may carry num-
Der OF activities. 1t is suggested for each
organization O A school improvement
department, (2) social department. (3) a
general-community-service department.
AS general community service the Red
Cross work is most appropriate at this time
1t is hoped most organizations will carry
this work il ii is not otherwise provided
for in the community. 1t would be an ex-
cellent plan, in many cases, to consolidate
the organized. Red Cross work with the
Home and School Association meetings.
In number of cases the same members
belong to both organizations.
The yearly reports from the assocla-
tons will be published in pamphlet form
and distributed among all organizations.
The suggestive programs included these
topics AN evening with our schools, an
evening with the Red Cross. local history
night PROGRAM. an evening about current
community productions. travel program,
lives Of modern great men and women,
dramatic program, library evening program.
Maryland history and the natural resources
Of the State, health evening program, rural
life evening, farmers evening. an evening
with demonstration work in teaching, local
improvement evening.
The schools Of the county have suffered
very greatly by the continued loss of the
teachers who are taking up other work now
open owing to war conditions. At the
present time seventy teachers have gone
from the schools since last session. Among
these have been some Of the best trained
teachers in the system. In addition to this
number many other changes have been
made because Of new teachers leaving
after staying few days. and in some cases
leaving after one or two days.
The average salary Of a teacher in the
elementary grades is about $3.50 per year.
the salary Of the inexperienced teacher
goes as low as S340 year. while the
maximum salary is $575 Those leaving
the system are taking positions paying
more than double the salaries paid to
teachers.
Unless the Legislature makes provision
to raise the salaries of teachers we feel
the gravest concern for the public schools
The outlook at present for additional teach
ers is anything but encouraging. and it
may be found necessary to close Temporal
rily some buildings because of lack Of
teachers.
The public schools have added response
bility under the present war conditions
because 10 them is given, in large part.
the training Of men and women for the
future citizens Of the world. In making
the word safe for democracy" we must
also keepdemocracys safe for the world. This
great task cannot be accomplished unless
the public school system can be made Sc
cure with the best trained teachers paid
sufficiently to live under modern conditions.

In Memorlam.

Sacred to the memory Of our beloved
father. Robert s. Suddath. who departed this
life one year ago. September l7th, 1915.
There's beautiful face In the silent air.
Which follows me ever with smiling eyes
and eray-streaked hair;
With voiceless lips. yet with breath Of
prayer
That we feel. but cannot hear.
There's sinless brow with radiant crown.
And a cross laid down in the dust.
And tears no more from those dear eyes
flow.
So sweet in their innocent trust.
There's beautiful region above the skies,
And we long to reach It's shore.
For we know we shall find our father there.
The loved one who has gone before.
And il our fellowship here below.
In Jesus is so sweet.
What height Of rapture shall we know
When round his throne We meet.
BY his loving daughter.
