TEACHER FINED
Assessed $40 and Costs For Viola
ton of School Law.

On Wednesday of the past week eight
cases were heard at Crellin, and fines
and costs collected aggregating $50. 25:
one case was heard from Long Stretch,
the party found guilty, and upon re-
fusal to pay his fine and costs was com
mitted to iail; and on Thursday thirteen
cases were heard at Kempton, when
fines and costs collected aggregating
sl06. 10; and at johnson School one case
with fine and costs aggregating SIS. 25.
The basis of all these proceedings
were violations of the school attendance
law and vaccination law of the State.
The cases were all heard before Magis-
trate West of Oakland, the State being
represented by States Attorney E. R.
Jones.
Several cases yet remain to be heard,
the warrants having been issued some
time ago. The school authorities are
now gong over the records Of all schools
in the county with view to further
prosecutions as the attendance and vac
cination laws must and will be enforced.
On last Saturday one of the teachers
who taul bit a school IN District No. of
THIS county during the past school year,
was taken before Squire West, charg-
ed with having permitted children who
were not Yaccinated to attend her
school Upon trial this teacher was
found guilty and sentenced to pay
fine of $40 and costs.
This case should serve as a warning
to all teachers IN Garrett county, as the
law prohibits any child from attending
school without previously having been
yaccinated and if a teacher allows a
child to attend school without such vac
cination such teacher becomes guilty of
a misdemeanor and subject to fine of
SO for each and every offense.
The County Board of Education has
been notified by the State Superintend-
ent OF Schools that the summer schools
at Frostburg and Ocean City will con-
tinue only five weeks, with six school
days week, instead of six weeks with
only FIVE school days week. as origi-
nally planned. This is being done in
order to save the teachers of the State
the living expenses of the additional
week.

PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION
Thirty-Five Thousand Speakers
to Make Addresses.

Patriotic celebrations by foreign
born Americans, eliminating in the OBJ
servances of July Attn, are to be for
warded and followed by special speeches
from more than thirty-fve thousand
Four Minute Men during the first three
weeks of July.
These patriotic volunteers, who speak
upon topics assigned to them by the
-Four Minute Men division of the Com
mittee on Public Information, will re-
view the struggles for Liberty in
Europe, both before and after 1776, and
will demonstrate their similarity to the
struggle which produced the Declare
ton CT Independence.
Thus foreign-born Americans, who
came to this country to realize those
very liberties of justice and OF opDor-
tunity for which the liberal elements of
their own countries struggled. are
shown to be one in spirit with all ma
tive-born in the heritage Of that Decla-
ration.
THE Meaning of America" is the
title of the bulletin sent to all Four
Minute Men for this period.
In it, the unending struggle for hui
man liberty is traced from the ancient
Anglo-SaXon shireman: thru Magma
Charta; thru the revolutions of Crom-
well and of the peoples of France and
of the American colonies against auto
crazy; thru the struggles for freedom
in Italy and Poland, and even the IN
successful struggles for the same crush
ed cause IN Germany and IN Austria
Hungary; down to present-daY demo
cracy in these United States.
1t is shown that, while we did not dis
cover liberty, we were first successful
to apply it to all people 1t has been
said that the whole history of ciYiliza-
ton is little more than a record of
mans struggles fer liberty; but all the
crimson cords of all those thousands of
struggles center in the Declaration of
Independence, bond which makes US
one with all the liberty-loving peoples
of the world.
The duties of New Americans (the
foreign born) and of old Americans
(the native born), both to their country
and each to the other, will be dwelt up
on in many of the four minute talks to
be given upon this topic by Four Min
ute Men here.
President Wilson is greatly interested
in the work and has himself contributed
four-minute speech to be presented
by the thirty five thousand Four Minute
Men to the people of their respective
communities on the Fourth of July.
Fifty-three hundredS communities,
from Alaska to the Canal Zone, will
hear this speech simultaneously on that
day.
Official Washington expects that this
campaign will do much TO weld the ma
tional will win against the threaten
ing triumvirate of kaiser, krupp and
kultur.

ton on Part of Mr.. Sloan.
