Garrett County School News

! Teachers Conferences were held at
the Oakland Grammar school on Fri
day, February 9th and at the Kitz-
miller school on Friday, February
18th. Mr.. VIM. J. Holloway, State
Supervisor of Rural Schools, attended
the Oakland meeting. Mr.. C. R. Bis
sell, Mrs. Mabel Sollars and Miss
Cecilia Hart gave Demonstration
lessons in teaching written language.
Misses. Gertrude Cook and Mona Loar
taught at Kitzmiller. In the after
noon the lessons taught were dis
cussed. The advantages to be derived
from the Patrons Clubs in all the
schools n Garrett county were dis
cussed. Ways and means of organ
izing these clubs were also talked
over. The dates and places for other
conferences in this series are the
johnson school, Wednesday, February
25th; Grantsville, Friday, February
9th; Accident, Friday, March 9Th.
o Friday, February goth, the
schools are planning to have a Coun-
ty-wide Patriotic and Patrons Day
Program. You have doubtless heard
of this through the schools of your
community.
Owing to the fact that it is i'm
possible for many of the teachers in
rural schools to attend Reading Circle
meetings, the Grade Supervisor will
be glad to discuss the work with one
or many teachers at the Office of the
Board of Education on the first and
third Saturdays of every month about
1:45 p. m. Time will be reserved
from 1:45 to 800 p. m. for this work.
The discussion on Saturday, February,
21st will be based upon chapters l and
2 of Psychology and The Days
Work" Since many of the rural
teachers do come to Oakland on Sat-
urdays, it is hoped that they will feel
free to take advantage of this offer.
About ten pictures have hung upon
the walls of the Oakland Grammar
school. The pictures have been very
carefully selected and add much to the
appearance of the classrooms. Among
the pictures selected are: Millet's
Feeding Her Birds" Boughton's
pilgrims Going to Church," Millet's
''The Angelus;" "The Knitting Shep-
herdess;" "The Song of The Lark"
Corot's Spring" Watts "Sir Gal
ahad; and others.

viii BE Held At The First National
Bank Building Tuesday Evening.
The Republican has been requested
to announce that meeting of those
interested in the formation of a Post
of the American Legion will be held
IN the directors room of the First Ma
tional Bank in Oakland on Tuesday
evening of next week at the hour of
seven o'clock.
This meeting is for the purpose of
adopting name for the proposed post
which is to be formed in Oakland. as
a recent ruling of the national body
prohibits the chartering of a local or
ganization until meeting of those in
terested shall have been held and all
the details of the new organization is
workd out, so it is important that all
who are inclined to associate them
selves with the Post should be pres-
ent at this meeting.

Another Guess at Suns Age.

4 new calculation of the age of the
sun was made recently by NJ. Peron-
net, who read II paper on the subject
before the French Academy of Science.
Here is his version in a nutshell: On
the principle that the mean tempera
ture Of star remains approximately
equal to the surface temperature
ii had when first formed, and Civ
ing the sun an internal temperature
of 1000 degrees Centigradc. or dou-
Bile that of its surfAce and calculating
its mass to be by 1870 Kilograms,
the sun cannot have been formed more
than between 2.000OO0 and 6,0O0000
of years ago A star with surface
temperature of 100000 degrees Cent?
