We don't want to discredit ooyc aud
giils of Ely but we believe their
parents would do well to remember in
listening to their version of what hap
pened at school that there are two
sides To every question. Often the
tender heart IL susceptible to jealousy
and quite often. too. the youthful mind
Is not capable of placing the proper
construction upon the statements OF
older people. The scholar imagines the
teacher IS making a pet" OF another
scholar. and IL quick to magnify the
matter when relating schoolroom &C.
%currences to his or her parents.
l: you krow anything about children
you know it Is hard to find two of the
sam disposition. For that rcasn it is
a difficult thing for the teacher to
please twenty. or fifty. or even more
when no two of them are alike in
temperament. Some of them are going
TO see things in a different light than
the others. and those who have a ten
ldency to become displeased when every
thing does not go their way are us
ualiy the ones who return home with a
story that Is apt to put the teacher in
the wrong light.
IL you know how difficult IL is to
train one child properly then you can
get a pretty good idea OF what the
teacher has on hand to train n flock of
them. Fol that reason you will take
sny wild story brought home from he
schoolroom with a grain of salt. In
other words. you will either fail to give
il serious consideration or. II you do
consider IL. You'll be honest enough
TO recall tlat there are always two
sides to every story.

Cannot Revoke Licenses.

Decision that licenses of traction en-
gines cannot be revoked because they
use cieats that iujure the roads, was
handed down recently by Judge Thomas
in the Court of Appeals, in the case of
Stevenson vs. the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles. The case was argued last
week.
The case aroused considerable interes st
because owners Of traction engines have
felt tn I their business. virtually hung
on their decision. The license In dispute
was revoked on the ground that the
cleats did unreasonable damage I" to
roads, authority for revocation on &C.
count of such damage being given under
the law The opinion held, however,
that as such engines could no. be operat-
ed in many cases without the use of
cleats and it was evidently the intention
of the law to issue licenses to their own
ers, that TO construe the statute in such
manner as to revoke the traction engine
licenses would be clearly disregarding
the intention of the Legislature which
passed the Motor Vehicle Law.
1t is unde rstood that further action
will be taken by the Attorney General.

Time To Take Action.

Now that the Maryland Legislature is
in session, it would seem that the citi-
gems of Thurmont should take some steps
toward securing laws necessary to con-
troll dsorderly conduct in the corporate
limits of the town.
For sometime past boys and men have
been doing as they please, destroying
property, disturbing people in Town
Hall to such extent that shows could not
be given, and acting disorderly generally.
The reason for leaving these things go
by as given US, is because the town has
no constable to arrest the offenders.
Mayor Lidie cannot arrest and give Of
tenders a hearing. He however has the
power to make arrests. What, in the
opinion of some of the town needs, is a
law authorizing any magistrate in Thur
mont to hear corporation cases and inn
pose fines, said fines to be by him turned
into the Corporation Treasury.
This is splendid chance for members
of the Community Club. Don't wait
until the last moment to get a bill be-
fore the Legislature. Go at it now.
