The tide has turned. Our children are
being misled no longer by mushroom war
wages. They are returning to our schools
in ever-increasing number. Professor Hall
reports that in the Elementary School at
Rockville three hundred and sixteen chill
dren have enrolled. The entering class at
the High School has fifty members, the
second-year class has thirty members, the
third-year class has fifteen members. and
the graduating class has ten members. In
addition to these. there are number Of boys
who have reported to the school and re-
ceived their books but who cannot enter
their classes until they can be spared from
their home farms. When these pupils are
in school the enrolment of the High School
will exceed the high-water mark for en-
rollment, namely. one hundred and six
pupils in 1916.
Rockville is fortunate in having at this
time such a splendid corps of teachers for
its schools. Miss Edith L. Ford is the head
of the English Department. She is a
graduate of the Maryland State Normal
School and has received further training
at Columbia University, U. iversity of Wis

afternoon, October 18th, at the Country
Club House under the auspices of the War
Mothers Of America, or the new name, Ser
vice Star Legion, which was voted by the
Baltimore convention should hereafter be
Its name owing to the consolidation of the
seventeen different organizations, none of
which was willing to assume the name of
previous organization. so a name was
chosen that was entirely new for all.
Mrs. James II. Jones, who was sent as a
delegate to the National Convention in
Baltimore. and Mrs. William II. Talbot,
Chairman of the National Insignia Com

Scott, of Baltimore. President of the
Maryland Service Star Legion. and Madame
Guerin, of France. to come to Rockville to
be present for the chapter meeting on the
above mentioned date. Everyone accepted,
the consequence of which was a treat given
to Rockville that rarely falls to our lot.
There was full house of the most rep
resentative people of the town, who lis
tened attentively to the State President
Mrs. Scott, who in her genial, whole soul
manner mothered the efforts of the little
chapter and instructed the members as to
their future work.
The National President. Mrs. Morris, fol-
lowed in her delightfully."- even, forceful
way, outlining the work for the coming
year.
Mrs. Gleason. after a few appropriate
remarks. surrendered the floor to Madame
Guerin, who held the audience spellbound
for forty minutes as she told of the terrible
suffering of the women and children of
Northern France. The mental picture was
drawn so wildly that many were in tears
as she told of the little children, sometimes
as many as thirty living in cellar. of

it all they wanted and then order all re-

their homes, and they were left without
homes or food except herbs, cabbage and
turnips. During the past two winters many

solicit the children to become members Of
the Franco-American League at twenty
five cents year and we hope to have her
back in Rockville for this purpose. and all
those who did not (and those who did)
hear her before will avail themselves of
this wonderful opportunity.
The meeting was brought to close with
prayer by Rev. Rowland Wagner. so deep
and full of feeling that he was requested
by Mrs Morris to submit it to her in writ
ing that she might make it the national
prayer of the Service Star Legion.

Instalment OF A Gymnasium.

The Rockville High School is to have a
gymnasium. The School Board has au-
thOriZed the use of the Assembly Room
and the citizens of the town and cOmmu-
young people an opportunity for scientific
physical training will be asked to contribute
the necessary funds for purchasing the
furniture. 1t is not proposed to equip the
gym" fully at present Only the most
essential paraphernaia will now be sup
piled, and as the funds may hereafter be
obtained other things will be added Par
allel bars, wrestling mats, boxing gloves
jumping horses, etc, will be first installed
The gym" will be opened on Saturday
evenings.
The idea OF a gym at the High School
originated among some of'the public-spir-
tied people Of the town and has been en-
dorsed quite generally. Physical culture
is now admittedly so essential to perfect
physical development that every commu-
nifty center with modern ideas recognizes
il. The Rockville High School is becoming
more and more modern community CEN
ter. Its excellent Assembly Hall has made
this possible. Its very considerable and
we'll selected town library, with perhaps
two thousand volumes. is feature Of this
general movement.
A committee of ladies', including Mrs Lin
thicum. Mrs. Barnes, Mrs. Williams, Mrs.
John Henderson. Mrs. Billiard and Mrs. X.
f. L. Smith. has been appointed to bring
the matter TO the attention of the public
and solicit subscriptions. Their canvass
will begin October goth and last one week.
They will raise about five hundred dollars
part Of which has already been subscribed.
The gym equipment, when installed. will
belong to the High School and will tend to
keep this school in the front rank Of the
county high school system Of the State.
