MY THOUGHTS

have just finished reading Dr. H. c. Morrison's description of Washing ton City, D. C., and her people, and what is doing there, and of the great throngs that gather there-people from every state in the Union and from every nation. It thrills me and fills me with admiration and applause and with an innner secret breathing of prayer for its well-being and doing, for it is our city, our people. It indeed is the center of civilization. Get it and read it. It will help you; you will feel better, and think more of your country and yourself, and be glad in your heart. You will not care to take the trouble to procure it, but will only be glad you did when read. It is in the Pentecostal Herald, pub lished at Louisville, Ky, June 15, 1921.

Alfred w. Townsend
OF Somerset Dead.

Mr.. Alfred w. Townsend, a we'll
known resident and farmer of Dublin
district, Somerset county, died OH
Friday night last, aged 81 years. Mr..
Townsend suffered stroke of paraly-
sis on Tuesday of last week and he
gradually grew worse until death re-
lieved him of his suffering at the time
named.
Some years s-ago Mr.. Townsend lived
in this district and was held in high
esteem by our people. He was of a
plain, unassuming character, thor
eughly reliable and honest, always
ready to do a friend or neighbor a
good turn. He served on the Union
side during the Civil War but was not
enc of those who carried malice in
his heart. In the community where
he lived he was highly respected and
will be greatly missed. He was a
frequent visitor to our town and will
be missed by our people also.
Funeral services were held in the

city on Sunday afternoon last, con-
Quoted by the pastor, Rev. E. L.

OF INTEREST TO
LIBERTY BOND HOLDERS

A double payday for holders of
Liberty bonds fails due on June 18th
when the semi-annual interest on the
first and fifth loans come due. In
Maryland the total subscription to
the first loan was S370ls,750 and on
this the interest will amount to more
than $4,000. The total subscription
in this State to the Victory loan was
S62 ,690.55O and on this the scmi-an-
nual interest will be- in excess cf
l,25000O.
1t is suggested by the United
States Treasury that if Liberty bond
interest is rcinvestcd in government
savings securities the income yield
on the original investment will be
materially increased.
In this federal reserve district he
amount subscribed TO the first and
Victory loans exceeded 1891. 900, 600.
On this the interest payment, due
June 18th. will be more than $500
900.

SCHOOL SYSTEM A.
UNFRAMED I

Persons who get into the to-
profession in Maryland through q.
back door" are let into the system
simply because the system could not
be run without them. according to
Albert :. Cook. State Superintendent
of Education.
DIR. William c. Baglcy. of Column
bia University. was right when he
said that the laws regulating the
licensing of teachers are unjust"
Mr.. Cook said. OR Bagley is per-
hapS the leading teacher of America,
and he naturally has the ideal >is w
point. But superintendent of edu-
cation has the practical job OF keep
ing the schools open, and must have
practical viewpoint.
Will Then Shut Back Door"
when the time once comes that
We get all. or approximately all, of
our teachers trained, we will shut the
back door and nail il up so tight that
il will be as hard for an unframed
teacher TO get into the teaching pro-
fcsSion as il Is for an unframed per-
son to get into the medical profess
sion.
The only thing that 90 out Of
every 100 unframed teachers in
Maryland lack is charcc to get
trained. Many who have wanted to
teach have not had high schools in
their territory. or the high schools
were SO crowded that they could not
get in. or the salary was so low that
il did not furnish living wage. Our
energies have been bent toward rec.
tifying these things. Our aim is 10
give every Maryland teacher a
chance to be trained. and to give her
CASUALLY it isl fair salary when
She is trained
"lt is manifeStly uafair to have
one teacher devote two or four
years to training for her work and
then get only about 5000 year
more than an unframed person
From the professional viewpoint, it
is entirely unjust. But the school
system. under the present circum-
stances, cannot get along otherwise
Are Hard To Obtain.
III we We're to pick man off the
streets and make him physician
Just because he had studied ply
Siology. there would be an uproar,
and justly so. But people seem to
have the idea that person can be
picked up anywhere, without train
ing, and be competent and fit to
teach. Good teachers are not OBJ
tanned in that manner
Maryland teachers will get the
training if we give them chance.
and il is our purpose to give them
the chance just as soon as possible
and TO as many as possible. Then we
can change the laws to suit DR.. Bag
ley, which would suit all educators
who have the best interests of their
profession at heart"
