Service Men Receiving Education

Service Men Receiving Education.
One hundred and seventy former
soldiers who were disabled while in
service during the World War are
now enrolled at the Pennsylvania
State College, receiving an education
made possible by the government
through the Federal Board of Voca-
tional Training. Sixty new rehabili-
tation students enrolled at the re-
cent college opening are pursuing
courses that will fit them as experts
in special lines. Seventy eight OF
the total enrolment are studying
agriculture, about forty are taking
engineering courses, and the balance
are distributed through the various
other schools.
Many of the men have but one leg,
others but one arm; some had beer
gassed or otherwise disabled. Some
are former college students, other,
have had no high school preparation
yet all have adapted themselves into
the routine of college life, and in
spite of their physical ailments, are
enjoying every minute of it.

WHY NOT A HIGH SCHOOL,
With A Little Effort On Part OF
Citizens Can Easily Get Rating.

The recent visit to Rising Sun pub
lie school of High School Supervisor
Saml.. M. North has served to revive
the movement for high school here,
and with just little bit of interest
and cooperation on the part Of pa
irons of the school and our citizens
it can easily be accomplished.
Because of this lack of interest
and cooperation Rising Sun, the CEN
ter of a thickly populated, progress
sive section, and with a school OF
14O or more pupils, finds itself trail
ing Calvert, Cecilton and other
places in the county where the citi-
zens were alive to their interests and
bestirred themselves, not being salts
fed to just let things drift, as we
seem to be doing in Rising Sun.
In order to obtain a High School
here it needs an enrolment of but
15, and average attendance of IL
8th and 9th grade students.
AS there is at the present time an
enrolment Of 10 at Rising Sun, with
children in the neighborhood yet to
enter school, as required by the COM
pulsory attendance law, and severa
former students attending Tome, at
Port Deposit, because of the high
school courses offered there, it can
readily be seen that it will demand
no great effort on the part Of patrons
to get the required enrolment.
Then, too, the establishment of
high school here means another
teacher, already greatly needed.
Why not Rising Sun High School,"
in place of Rising Sun Public School,
when it can be attained so easily by
just little bit of interest, co-opera-
tion, and appeal to community pride,
thereby placing Rising Sun abreast
in school matters with Calvert, at
least, and other places in the county
where the citizens have taken a real
interest in educational advantages
for their children.

CouIbourne Given The Pennant.


A member of the Rising Sun team,
who was present, gives US the fol-
lowing report of the special meeting
of Susquehanna League:
On Monday evening, Oct. 4, Presi-
dent Jewell called special meeting
in Havre de Grace of the Susque-
hanna League to determine the
champions of 1920. Manager Biles
was asked by the President why
Rising Sun did not meet Havre de
Grace in the post-season series, and
was quickly informed that it was be.
cause of his, president Jewell's)
unjust rulings and the partiality
shown the Havre de Grace team by
him.
Manager Biles also called attention
to the fact that President Jewell had
awarded Havre de Grace three pro-
tested games in the second half, and
that no other team had been shown
such rank favoritism. 1t may be
remarked that President Jewell is a
resident of Havre de Grace. Havre
de Grace was very anxious for the
pennant and as no other team laid
claim to it, and as there had been no
actual winner of it in the league,
President Jewell gave it to Mr.. Coul-
bourne, manager. of the Havre de
Grace team, who was as tickled over
the gift as though it had actually
been won.

BASE BALL.

Rising Sun Wins From Perryville.
In the first Of a series Of three
games Rising Sun met and defeated
Perryville on the latter's grounds
Saturday afternoon, by score of
to 8. The game was an interesting
one and was witnessed by a large
crowd.
Finn and Alexander were again
the opposing twirlers, the former
having shade the better of the
argument. The features were the
hitting of Gather, Rfale and Keesey,
and the fielding of Newswinger, in
left.
These teams will clash again Sat-
urday afternoon, Oct. 8, at Rising
Sun, in what will probably be the
last home game of the season, and
indications point that it will be a
cracker-jack. Captains Ell. Williams
and Potts are both in for clean base
ball and this is a big feature to
lovers of the national sport.
Both teams will present strong
line-ups on Saturday. Ted Gather
will be with Rising Sun. Another
drawing card will be the umpiring.
Bill MCGOWAN, of the International
League, will look after this import
ant feature of the game. The score:
