State Teachers To Meet.

The Maryland State Teachers Associa-
ton has postponed the meeting scheduled
for Ocean City on September to 6, due
TO the fact that the Tri-county Institute Of
WicOmico. Worcester and Somerset cOun-
ties will not be held at Ocean City in Sep
TENDER as planned. School is to open in
those counties on September 2, so there
would consequently be no teachers at the
meeting from the three counties If the
meeting had been held.
II has been decided. therefore. to hold the
annual meeting in Baltimore on Friday and
Saturday, November 20 and 80. 1918. The
Friday following Thanksgiving is holi-
day. so that attendance upon the part Of
teachers will be voluntary. The meeting
last year was held Monday. Tuesday and
Wednesday Of Thanksgiving week. the
schools Of the State being closed for the
entire week, and this caused some adverse
criticism due to the fact that the COM
pulsory attendance law forces the older
children into the schools November |, and
that il is unwise to have this break in the
school year in November. followed by a
break in December due to the Christmas
vacation
The Baltimore City School Board will be
requested to grant the use Of the Western
High School for the meeting. AS the meet
ing in Baltimore in 1917 was attended by
more than 1000 teachers. a large attend
ance is expected at 1918 meeting.

Proposed Draft Law.

The administrators man power bill
extending the military draft ages so as to
include men from eighteen to forty-five
years old, was presented to the Senate and
House Monday last by the chairmen Of the
military affairs committees, Senator Cham
berlain and Representative Dent. The
measure was referred to the committees
on military affairs, which are expected to
begin work on ii as soon as possible.
In brief, the bill provides as follows:
|. That all males residing in the United
States. not aliens. between the ages Of
IS and AS, both inclusive, shall be liable
to military services and shall register with
local draft boards for that purpose.
2. That the President may draft such
reeistrants in sequence Of ages and at such
times as he may prescribe. meaning that
the older classes may be called ahead of
the younger,
8. That citizen or subject Of a neutral
country who has declared his intention to
become an American citizen shall be re-
lieved from liability upon Withdrawing his
citizenship declaration, but such person
may never thereafter become citizen of
the United States.
4. That persons engaged in occupations
or employments" found TO be necessary to
the maintenance Of the armies may be re-
lieved Of service. This amends the word
industries" which has been construed by
many local draft boards not to include
farming.
S. That the President may, II he desires.
appoint as a member Of local draft
board any person residing outside the area
over which the board has jurisdiction.
@. That persons subject to registration
under the proposed law are those who
have attained their eighteenth birthday
and have not attained their forty-sixth
birthday on the date Of the registration.
That the President may at intervals re-
quire all males who have attained the age
Of eighteen since the last preceding regis
tration. to register. The purpose Of this
is to make the flow Of new eiehteen-yea
old classes steady.

Rights OF Counties.


Baltimore County Union-News.
An examination Of the opinion Of the
Court of Appeals asserting the constitu-
tionalitY Of the Annexation law shows
that the counsel for the county failed to
make the Court understand the difference
between extending the limits Of a munich
pality entirely within a county. such as
Frederick. Cumberland or Annapolis, and
cutting off part Of county to put il into a
separate municipality as has been done
by annexine parts Of Baltimore and Anne
Arundel counties to Baltimore city. The
same failure to understand the status Of
the counties Of Maryland in regard to each
other is shown In the opinion Of the court
in the famous case OF DAILY VS.. Morgan,
which gave the Court the precedent for
deciding the recent case against the coun-
ty There also seems to be failure to
recognize Baltimore city's status before
the Constitution Of 1880. when ii was
