CARROLL WAKING UP SCHOO
TWO BIG MEETINGS In THE INTEREST
OF THE NAVY AT SILVER RUN AND
SYKESVILLE.

Two meetings in the interest of Sc
curing recruits for the Navy were
held last night That at Silver Run
was one of the most remarkable meet
ings ever held in Carroll county
Messrs. Robert and William Shriver
had on Wednesday mailed five hund-
red letters announcing the meeting
and at the appointed hour well nigh
500 people from all sections of Myers
district had assembled. The building
i'm which the meeting or rather meet
ings were held has two large halls, on
first and second story. Both were
packed with people and many stood
ON the outside. Two bands of music
were present, the Carroll County
Reed Band in the upper hall, and the
Union Mills Band in the lower hall
MIR. George w. Yeiser presided at the
meeting i'm the upper hall and Mr.
Calvin Bankard at that in the lower
The first speaker in the upper hall
was States Attorney Seabrook, and
the first in the lower hall by DR.
Najob Katihbah, a Syrian physician
of Baltimore, who has seen service in
the Sudan and other wars, and has
offered hi services to the Secretary
of War. After speaking in the upper
hall, MIR. Seabrook relieved DR.. kati-
bah in the lower hall, while Mr.. w. J
Burdy, of the u. S. Navy, i'm uniform
followed him in the upper hall. DR.
katibah then spoke in the upper
room, and Mr.. Burdy followed Mr.
Seabrook in the lower. a deep and
lasting impression was made by all
the speakers. From the first word
spoken that interest was manifest i'm
the tear dimmed eyes of many ladies
present and in the expression of the
men old and young. After the ad-
dresses, many commented on the fact
that the spirit of the gathering re-
minded them of a religious revival
An after meeting, for such it really
was, at which the speakers one after
the other made direct and personal
appeal for recruits, further stimu-
lated the interest already awakened
and one young man, Denton Dull,
offered himself as the first to be
placed en- the honor roll from Myers
district. Leaving the hall, little
groups formed around each of the
number of young men manifested
IuGL1 NG6llG u serve LuGLT country,
and it c..n be predicted almost to a
certainty that others from old Myers
will follow the example of Mr.. Dull.
A meeting was also held at Sykes
Vile, in the hall at the Springfield
State Hospital. 1t was not so largely
attended as that at Silver Run, but
good seed was sown, that will bear
fruit. Senator Wade Fl. ID. Warfiald
presided, and addresses were made by
William Purnell Hall, of Baltimore
and Guy w. Steele, Esq, of this city
DR.. J. Clement Clarke also spoke and
urged those of the employees. who

Parcnt-Tcacher< Association.

The seriousness Of the times Is de-
manding OF every citizen his whole
thought and attention TO the great
economic and civic questions. The
solution of them depends upo1 a
thorough understanding of them, and
requires OF each one a certain amount
of education. What Will lie demanded
of 1T children only the !utHr1 can
tell. but that it is our unquestiJned
duty to give them the best OppOrtUnl
ties for meeting the duties OF life,
think need hardly be demonstrated
TO this end all parents ought and DO
to the best Of their understanding,
strive, but not all parents at all
times appreciate TO the full the pos
sibilities. conditions, and aims, az we'll
as difficulties that are to be encOunt-
cred. 1t also is more or less true
that most parents would gladly CO.
operate with the teachers in securing
the best results, bat the opportunity
is lacking: that teachers generally
gladly invite and accept intelligent
suggestions and criticisms is also uni
versally true, but individual efforts
are however. never fruitful of the
best results. We seldom accomplish
much without the general Co-Opera-
ton of a community, since intelligent,
we'll thought and we'll discussed effort
is much more satisfactory to all than
sporadic individual effort.
Hence it follows that there should
be united support of all in every
community; a close alliance between
the teacher and the public; a will
ingness to help and to assist as we'll
as to direct criticism in an intelli-
gent manner.
This result is best attained through
the organization in every community
of a parent-teachers association. This
type of community organization has
been formed to accomplish most eX-
Cellent results in moulding public
opinion, in giving wholesome support
to the school, and in bringing the
people of the community, and as a
result there is always a much better
understanding of the mutual interests
involved
In this County such organizations
now exist in Union Bridge, New Wind
SOr, UniOntOWn and Hampstead.

have mistaken idea about the cost of mailing the
paper to the boys in service.
z They have gotten the idea that if their soldier
or sailor is at some distant American post, or in
France, or on the high that it is going to cost
) great deal extra to have The Times mailed to
him
q That is plain mistake The Times will under
take to deliver copy to any Southwest Washing

may be, at the usual rate Of 30 cents month.

he has instructed you to write him and we will

He Is at Dayton now teaching

Among the many excellent en-

Germans themselves, who have
placed a price on his head.
This boy mapor who has ae-

wears q little mustache and, but
for his uniform, one might say
he was a new inferno at a hospital
or. perhaps. a popular lad in the

So, having heard that the Ger

wanted them to do.
The more Huns that como

But once they chased him 100

might have been his finish, X

Other aviators fly only ON or
