brain, but practically worthless to
men in the ordinary walks of life, Mr..
Young said that these studies we're
mere relics of the dead and could
we'll be replaced by more useful and
modern subjects.
Following this came a heated dis
cussion of Mr.. Young's address by
Mr.. Geo. F. Morelock, Mr.. J. Keller
Smith, Miss Katherine Fiscel and Mr..
n. f. Basler and other teachers
vitality interested in the subject.
!. Demonstration work by Miss J.
COrinne Troy.
The demonstration of efficiency in
domestic science by Miss Troy was
perhaps the most interesting event of
the day. The subject of Miss Troy's
address was the problem of having
hot lunches for school children at a
minimum cost A coal oil stove, gas
range, and tireless cooker were used
IN the demonstration, and Miss Troy
was assisted in her work by three of
her pupils neatly dressed in their
plain white cooking costumes. Roast
beef, tomato soup, potatoes and cocoa
were prepared.
The subject of providing hot lunch
eS for school children is we'll worthy
of attention since it has been proven
that hot lunches are not only more
healthful than cold ones. but also
they create greater brain power.

Average Attendance Under School
Law.

Some statements have been made
that the School authorities Of Carroll
county have enforced the attendance
law more strictly than other counties
of the State. We give below the re-
port Of the Department of Education
bearing upon the question. These
figures show the increase in average
attendance for the first term in each
of the past three years:
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1917-02-02

1t will be noted from the report
that in all the counties the average
has increased considerably.
except in the counties where a. local
compulsory attendance law had been
in force for several years, such as
Baltimore and Frederick. The report
conclusively proves that the law is
enforced in all parts of the State.
