Beauty is dead, the great noble

There are no words with which to
describe the sorrow which came to

the truth was known, that his leg

necessary, and although the driver
admitted his carelessness and offered
to make amends. there is no monetary
consideration which could pay for the
loss of Beauty who never once in all
his life raised hoof to strike man

An Equation

No one has devised the ratio by
which service OIL the firing line can
be translated into an equivalent pur-
chase of Victory Liberty Bonds, and
no one ever will, but in reading the
, records of heroism it gives us some
thing to ponder.
AS an example take the case of
Corporal Edward ]. Wollert, of the
Marine Corps. Wollert "hiked" I'M
til he was "all in" and then went in
to action, fighting as only 3 marine
fights, until he could not have been
criticised for feeling that he had a
little rest coming to him. And just
about the time Corporal Wollert be-
lieved there was a lull in the fight
ing near Thiacourt, France, he saw
one of his wounded officers, a prison
er under escort of six Germans. No
one commanded Wollert to do any
thing, but he saw the need of furth-
Ell service and he promptly attempted
"a rescue.
At close quarters with his pistol
he killed two of the Germans, the
wounded officer took advantage of
the surprise and disposed of two 9TH
ers, and Corporal Wollert disarmed
and captured the rem aiming two.
The American Corporal ordered the
Germans to pick up his officer and
carry him back of the lines.
Sounds like movie looks, doesn't
it?
But this is not a movie nor the fic-
ton of movie, although it is worthy
of a Porthos or a Frank Merriwell.
1t is taken from the War Department
records of the American Army in
France, as told in the citations for
bravery.
Just how many Victory Liberty
Bonds should an American stay-at-
home buy to even the scales with
this exploit of Corporal Wollert?

Teachers Summer School :
Will Open June q

The Fifth Annual Session of the
State Summer School for the train
ing of Public School Teachers will
convene at Ocean City on Monday,
June 23rd, and an unusually large
attendance of students is anticipated.
Following the precedent established
last summer, the session will con-
tinue only five weeks instead of six,
closing on July 26th. with regular
school sessions on Saturdays. This
arrangement affords the same num-
Der of school days as the regular six
weeks session, and at the same time,
saves the students attending the
school considerable expense. AS
there is no tuition charge to Mary
land teachers, the entire cost of at
tending the session should not ex-
coed $50, and might be made even
less.
The Ocean City Summer School is
one of the State Summer School Cen
tiers conducted under the direction of
the State Board of Education, for
the purpose of providing the neces-
sary professional training for the
public school teachers of the State,
and enabling them at a minimum OF
expense to fulfill the requirements of
the new educational law in respect to
the securing and renewing of teach
ers' certificates. Other Summer
School centers are established at
Towson and Frostburg. 1t is appar-
emily the idea and policy of the
State Board to have each of these
Summer School centers so organized
in respect to courses and methods of
instruction that it will fit the dis
tinct needs of a particular class OF
student teachers, the special func-
ton of the Ocean City school being
the training of beginning teachers
who have had no previous profession
al training, and also teachers in ser
vice who have been employed in
emergencies to fill vacancies during
the past two years, and whose aca-
demic and professional preparation
are below the minimum requiem ents
of the law for regular teachers GER
tifcates At the session in 1918,
methods and plans were perfected
and put into operation which were
designed to produce the most practi-
cal results in getting ready for effici-
ent service the particular classes of
teachers named above, and from all
accounts an unusual degree of sue
cess was achieved by the instructors
