Farmers Discuss Schools
And Tax Rate.
Allege That Schools Are Run
By Politicians.

A communication from Frederick, Md,
to the Sunday Baltimore Sun, says:
DECLARATIONS that the whole Maryland
school system is fraud, that tits run
by politicians, that better results are OBJ
tanned by TEACHERS without college ed
ucation than with. and especially that
entirely too much money is spent on
schools, were made and made again, re-
iterated and applauded at meeting OF
the Frederick County Farmers Associa-
ton held here this afternoon, Saturday,
March 26th.
"The meeting was held to consider
means of lowering the Frederick county
tax rate, and was the second for that
purpose held within the last few weeks.
At the first meeting the recommended
ton that specified county offices be abol.
ished was adopted. Thequestion of abol-
ishinp free textbooks in the schools was
brought up then. 1t was brought up
again today, and strong sentiment for
this was noticeable. 1t will be voted on
at the next meeting, at which the ex'
penses of the State Automobile Commits
sioner will be discussed.
The Maryland school system was
roundly condemned. But the indigna-
ton did not stop there. The Frederick
county system was scored, it being al
legged that other counties get better re-
suits at less expenditure. Baltimore
county was conceded to have good sys-
tenn. Washington county. it was said,
has q lower tax rate for schools, yet pays
better salaries and has better equipment.
The overcoming motif of the whole
discussion was bitter complaint against
the tax rate-$l. 70 on each 500.
THE farmers said there ars too many
high schools. A resolution was adopted
favoring junior high schools fnine grades
in community centers. Where pupils de-
sire more education than this, they should
be made to bear the major portion of the
expense. This resolution followed an
address by Clayton O. Keedy. MIR. kee-
DIV said: The public school system of
Maryland is the greatest fraud in the
State. The system is run by politicians,
whose chief object is to keep themselves
in office. The primary object Of the pub
lie schools when first establshe was to
disseminate knowledge sufficient to equip
the student for ordinary business in life
Or to develop him for college education
with a groundwork OF the fundamentals
reading, writing and arithmetic. Now
the system has gone away beyond the
fundamentals, has fallen into the hands
of politicians and is being worked from
the top down. Many of the high schools
undertake to instruct in professions for
which they are i'll pr epared.

Cold Wave Blows In.
From Summer To Winter In
"a Hours.

Reading about the big drops in temper
ature registered at various places thru
out the country often makes the reader
wonder whether the story is true
Thurmont and vicinity experienced one
of these drops Monday night and Tuesday
morning of this week. Monday noon the
mercury had climbed to near the 80 de-
gree mark. Black clouds began coming
across from the west, brisk wind devel-
oped and in a short time rain was falling
and several heavy peals of thunder were
heard. The wind grew stronger and n
change to cooler came and the mercury
began falling rapidly. Tuesday morning
thermometer at the Square Corner
registered q while reports as low as 20
came from the country-a drop of about
so degrees from noon until daylight next
morning. This same thermometer on
the corner registered 62 at o'clock on
Monday morning, and ~ on Tuesday
morning, difference of 35 degrees the
two mornings.
The storm that brought in the cold
wave was severe at number of places
throughout the state and the whole state
was affected by the cold Snow fell in
the mountains in Western Maryland as
well as in Thurmont. Hail fell at various
places around Thurmont along with the
rain during the afternoon and evening.
Ice half an inch thick formed during
Monday night, and some of the more
tender plants were frozen. Many fear
that the fruit has suffered severely, but
the wind. while it threshed many bios
SONS from the trees, in great measure
helped to protect the same from freezing.

Cardinal Gibbons Dead.
Foremost Churchman OF Amer
lea Succumbs After Long
Illness.

James Cardinal Gibbons dleu at
1888 O'Clock Thursday morning,
March Oath, passing from sleep into
lifelessness so quietly that even his
nurse, Bon Secours nun, could not
be sure it was the end. She had seen
the change that betokened it, but it
was slight, almost iinperceptible. and
five minutes passed while she leaned
above the slight, still form, watching.
Then from the gray house at Null
berry and Charles streets. Baltimore,
where he had lived and worked in
the shadow OF the Cathedral of the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, whence he had sent unsparing
gifts of himself and love and care to
a people that had learned to revere
his name, went forth the news that
he had died.
His grave will be niche in the
crypt under the high altar OF the
Cathedral. A slab of marble
with an inspiration carved in Latin
in the north wall of the crypt will
mark the resting place of all that is
earthly of one of the greatest Ameri-
can churchmen of all time. Above
this vault, dark as night in the day
time, behind whose south wall lie the
six Archbishops of Maryland who
preceded him, is the Sanctuary OF
the Cathedral to which Cardinal Glib
bons' parents brought him as baby
to be baptized, where he was conse-
Grated Bishop, where he was later
consecrated an Archbishop, and where
on June 80, 1886, he was invested
with the robes of the Cardinalate.
Cardinal Gibbons aforementioned
words from his death bed were words
of affection and thankfulness for the
services of his brothers in the church
and gratitude for the peacefulness of
his death.
At the funeral services today in the
Cathedral there will be sung music
heard before only at the funerals of
sovereign rulers of the Catholic
Church in the Sistine Chapel in
Rome. The manuscript never before
has left the Vatican.
Just before the body is laid to rest
in the crypt beneath the Cathedral
altar and the distinguished assemb-
lage stands with bowed heads, this
solemn Gregorian chant will be sung.
This music, which was prepared
especially for funeral services of Popes,
il among the most beautiful and i'm
pressive compositions ever written
for a Gregorian choir. 1t will be
sung by the Gregorian Choral Society
of St. Mary's Seminary, under lead
ership of the director, the Rt. Rev.
Mgr. Leo p. Manzetti.
A manuscript copy of the music,
believed to be the first which has ev-
er found it's way out of the Vatican,
arrived in Baltimore early last week,
just before the Cardinals death.
The following is the official program
for the services held this week:
Monday, 10 a. M, Mass for the
children. Sung by the children of
the Cathedral school.
Tuesday, 10 a. M, Mass for the
religious, clergy excepted. Sung by
the students of St. Charles College,
Gainesville.

Laity. Sung by the Cathedral choir.
7.3O p. No., Office of the Dead. Sung
by the Seminarians and the Diocesan
Clergy.
