Some Of Earle Williams best
screen work has been done in detect

ished star always is appealing in the
role of criminologist. Exhibitors
frequently point back to that master
work of his in "Arsene Lupin" Well
exhibitors won't do it after seeing
him in 1.-The Man Who Wouldn't
Tell" Mr.. Williams is not exactly
a detective in this Blue Ribbon Fea-
ture- He is a secret man. detailed by
the British Government to ferret out
German plotters in this country.
This picture is swift-moving from
81. 1t is teeming with
mystery. thrilling situations and
delightful love story runs through it.
And. Of course. there is the patriotic
color which adds nightly to any pic
ture these days.
"The Man Who Wouldn't Tell"
was filmed on the Southern Califor-
MIA Coast and from Photographic
standpoint is a delight to the eye.
James Young, the director, picked
out the prettiest spots between Los
Angeles and Frisco, and wonderful
homes and country clubs provide
many scenes. In one scene, worth
special note. society folk of Del Mon

How Veidt Sores Were HeaIed.

Septic sores, or veldt sores as they
were called during the South African
disturbance, are as prevalent in Pales-
tine as they were In Sinai. Only one
doctor there can cure them in quick
time. He is a Coptic in Upper Egypt,
and his treatment consisted in cutting
the sore clean out Of the affected part,
after which he used an ointment Of his
own manufacture. The worst sores
generally healed within two weeks.

BITTEN BY RATTLESNAKE
Miss Pansy Wood, of Hutton, Victim
of VenOmnous Reptile Yesterday. 9.

of VenOmnOus Reptile Yesterday. &.
: Miss Pansy Woods, aged sixteen
years, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Woods, of Hutton, was bitten by
rattlesnake on the right knee yester-
day while engaged in picking berries
on Shaggy Mountain about six miles
west of Oakland, and is in a serious
condition at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Baker on Liberty street in
Oakland, whence she was taken after
having received surgical and medical
aid by DR.. Hinebaugh.
From what can be learned the girl
with number of companions went to
the mountain from their homes in
Hutton yesterday morning with the
intention of spending the day in the
woods gathering berries and they were
about to start on their return when
the reptile stung the Woods girl who
stated that she was under the impress
sion that she trod upon the reptile
about the same moment another girl
in the party perceiveing her danger
cried to her that snake was beneath
her feet, when she jumped and her
shoe catching in her skirt threw her
Immediately upon the snake, which
squirmed away and escaped into the
thick underground covering the noun
tain side.
AS soon as possible after the girl
had been stung by the reptile she was
brought to town in an automobile, but
two hours elapsed from the time she
had received her injury before med
ical attention was secured. With pres
ence of mind that would do credit to
those much older in years the young
people accompanying Miss Woods
formed tourniquet and bound it on
her leg above the wound, thus keeping
the poison injected by the fangs of the
reptile from circulating to a great ex-
tent through her system, which proba-
bly, saved her life. While her condi-
ton is serious and the results cannot
be foretold her physician has every
hope for her recovery.

with the State Superintendent, he rec
ommends that, in nominating teachers
of this class for positions, the county
superintendent make the following
distinctions in the order of prefer
ment, viz:
(a) Those who hold State certif-
Gates which have expired because of
failure to renew them as specified
in the school law, provided the work
of such teachers was satisfactory;
(b) Those who have held regular
certificates, (say, within a period of
ten years., but. whose certificates
have expired by limitation, provided
there is satisfactory proof of fair
success when employed;
(c) Graduates of approved high
schools, eighteen years of age, who
have not met the minimum profession
al requirement;
(d) Those whose scholastic attain
ments are less than high school grad
uation, provided the county superin-
tendent believes such persons possess
sufficient academic training to meet
the needs of the particular schools to
be taught by them. Should it happen
in emergency cases that the person to
be appointed possess less training than
school should have, it will be an ad-
vantage to select person some years
older than eighteen, so that her ma
turer judgement and general infor-
nation may partly compensate for de-
ficiency in scholarship.
8. Do not grant a certificate alone
for the reason of satisfying COM
munity clamor for teacher, with no
thought of her fitness. 1t will be far
better for the school situation gen.
orally and for the people of the par
ticular community if you allow the
school to be closed temporarily rather
then permit thoroughly unqualified
person to take charge of it. We must
not sacrifice our standards in educa-
ton to meet unreasonable requests.
The teacher employed on a provisional
certificate should be worth the cost
incurred in conducting the school, and
make the school worthwhile for the
children who attend. The county
superintendent in issuing provisional
certificates should ask himself in each
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1919-09-11

case whether it is more desirable to
issue provisional certificate to the
candidate available or to allow the
school to be closed.
a. Salaries to be paid teachers hold
ing provisional certificates should be
reasonably less than those paid reg
ularly certifcated teachers of the
same grade. The exceptions should be
those who were prevented by illness
from attending summer school and
who have presented a physicians GER
tificate to that effect. Other teachers
who failed to renew their certificates
in the regular way should suffer a
loss of salary of not less than fifty
dollars for the year. In all other
cases involving provisional certificates
there should be a reasonable salary
reduction. -...,.-......
5. Certificates of the second and
third grades can be renewed or ex-
tended only in accordance with the
school law-"on evidence of success
full experience and completion of not
less than six weeks of additional ac-
ademic and professional preparation
in a standard institution. The re-
newal may be obtained through I'M
iversity extension courses, or by cor
respondence courses conducted by a
standard college or university, or by
courses in a standard institution dur
ing the regular school year, as well as
by taking a summer course. -
6. Teachers should know that there
are but two periods of the year when
the State Department will consider the
grading and renewal of certificates,
viz: June l to July Is, and September
to October Is. 1t will lessen the
labor of this department if the coun-
ty superintendent acts as a medium
between teachers and the State Super
intendent, and handles, as far as pos
sible, all certificates, whether for rails
ing the grade or for renewing them.

you list them in letter stating that

TEACHER SHORTAGE WILL
BE SOMEWHAT RELIEVED
Instructions With Severe Limitations
Sent County Superintendent.

Sent County Superintendent.
The State Superintendent of Schools
after having been pressed with infor-
nation concerning the great short
age of teachers in Garrett county, has
sent the following letter of instruc-
tons to County Superintendent F. E.
Rathbun. While the letter does
relieve the scarcity of teachers it still
imposes such restrictions upon the
county school authorities that all of
the schools of the county will not be
able to secure teacher who is quail
fled to meet the requirements of the
State Superintendent
However, every citizen is requested
to make an effort to enlist into the
teaching force such teachers as may
meet the requirements and conditions
of the State Superintendent set forth
in his letter. Provisional certificates
are not to be encouraged, but they
will soon disappear, it is believed,
since teachers holding regular state
certificates will hereafter receive
higher salaries.
The letter from the State Superin-
tendent, referred to, reads as follows:
State Of Maryland
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Mccoy Hall, Baltimore.
September 3, 1919.
To the County Superintendent:
The discussion relative to the issu-
ing of provisional certificates at our
conference last week lacked some de-
tailed recommendations, which | now
make in this circular letter for the
information of the county school
officials
l. We are still facing unusual con-
ditions, which make it impossible to
procure enough teachers who hold
regular certificates to supply all vac
ancies; and because of this situation,
many of the vacancies must be filled
by issuing provisional certificates.

proval of the State Superintendent.
