superintendent Arbitrary Power
Under Present School
Law.

To the EDITOR
have been a teacher in the public
schools of Maryland for several years
and would like to express my views
in regard to the present school law
I find that the most Objectionable
feature of the new law is that which
gives authority to the Superintend-
ent Of Schools to transfer teachers
whenever he wishes to do so.
If teacher has done faithful and
conscientious work at a certain
school, has succeeded in establishing
a cordial relation between herself
and the pupils and enjoys congenial
surroundings, it should not be pos
sihle TO transfer her to another
school without her consent. How
can a teacher do effective work at a
school unless she has the assurance
that her tenure will continue for a
reasonable period?
Again, under the old system, re-
moval of teacher was possible only
after written charges were preferred
and an opportunity given to make a
defense. While one section of the
present law makes some provision to
accord teachers fair play, it is
obviously SO weak as to afford no
real projection.
The Superintendent being an APP
pointee of the County Board is neces-
sarily, to certain extent, under
their control. The policy of keeping
the public schools free from partisan
pQltics, and business interests is not
followed. To serve these in
tera the County Superintendent,
in whom is vested authority, can be
influenced to transfer a teacher
under the pretext that the needs of
the school require it. It the teacher
feels that her case has been preju-
diced, she has no redress, the only
alternative being to file her resig-
nation. The profession of teaching
under the existing law is regarded
with disfavor and within the last
year experienced teachers have re-
signed in large numbers. Non-cer-
tificated persons without any profess
sional training are being employed
to teach in order to keep open the
schools.
Much has been said of the need of
supervision in our public schools.
After a fair and impartial trial can
we say we have been benefited by
supervision? Surely not to the ex-
tent that we are justified in expend-
ing more than $1,000 per year to
maintain this Office.
Another question that is much
discussed: Why should the Attend
ance Officers be rated as .'profes-
sional assistants" when the law does
not in any way define their qualifi-
catioRs, and they are not in the pro-
fessionar elass? Should it not do so,
when they receive more pay than our
best teachers?
These and other points Of the
present school system should be
given careful consideration by the
taxpayers on whom falls the burden
Of maintaining these offices.

ON GUARD

AT this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, istless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, a smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
nch, red blood Is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. It is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such a
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. 1t is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and liquid.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
In order to insure pure blood and to
build up the system try this tonic
known as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. Get 1t now!

John Smith bought a horse. The

his bosom pal nlrnessed the horse to

a fishing trip. At the shore of the lake
they Embarrassed the horse and let
1t loose while they fished.
Presently the sun began to go down,
and Smith and pal decided to get ready
for the return Journey. They caught
the horse, and Smith began to harness
St But here they met a difficulty.
The horse wouldn't open its mouth for
the bit.
They tried every means they could
think of, but still the stubborn animal
stood with closed mouth, placidiy

Field Marshal Haig Mentions Consid-
cradle Artillery Fire North of kem-
mel But Here the Cannons Have
Been Roaring For Weeks.

New York.-Germany's resumption
of the gigantic offensive against the
allies on the West front has not yet
materialized. In various sectors there
have been local operations, which
have no bearing on the situation as a
whole. But along the entire front
there is a quiet that might be en-
couraging were it not known that the
Germans are moving up men and guns
for a new movement in the mighty
drive launched March II.
Field Marshal Haig's report makes
special note of activity by the Ger
man artillery north of Serre. This lit
tie town is situated behind the Teu.
tonic lines north of Albert and marks
the apex of triangle, the base of
which is the line between Hebuterne
and Bucquoy.
For several weeks military experts
have been watching developments in
this particular region, because it is a
logical point from which the Germans
may be expected to launch a great
turning movement against the Arras
sector. During the early days in
April, when the allies made final
stand on the line which they now
hold, the Germans centered their
fiercest drives on Hebuterne and the
wooded hills to the south and west.
later lost ground to the allies at this
point.
The country west of Hebuterne is
quite hilly, with many steep ridges.
which afford admirable defensive posi-
tons. North and northwest, howev-
er, the country is moderately level
with long, undulating ridges which
might be stormed readily by heavy
masses of troops.
Field Marshal Haig mentions con.
siderable artillery fire to the north
of KENNEL, but here the cannon OF
both sides have been roaring for
weeks
The southern portion of the British
front has also been under heavy fire
from the heavy enemy guns and this
may indicate that the Germans arg

Amiens
On the remainder of the Western
front the reports tell nothing new.

Como on Saturday morning the Aus

AN ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN Weakened CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report large sale on DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. DIR. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send sam
pie size bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need of it. Regular medi.
um and large size bottles, for sale at

ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR

The first test man is put thru for
either war or life insurance is an eXami-
nation Of his water. This is most essen
tial because the kidneys play most i'm
portant part in causing premature old age
and death. The more injurious the pois-
ons passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay-so says Dr. Pierce of Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, NY, who further
advises all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid-drink plenty of water
sweat some daily and take Anuric, double
strength, before meals.
This An-u-ric is a late discovery of DR..
Pierce and is put up in tablet form, and
can be obtained for Coo at almost any
drug store. For that backache lumbago,
rheumatism. rusty" joints. swollen feet
or hands, due to uric acid in the blood,
&. Anuric quickly dissolves the uric acid as
hot water does sugar. Take a little An
uric before meals and live to be a hun
bred. Send 10 cents to DR.. Pierce for trial
package of Anuric.
