"SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL"
TO HAVE PRESENTATION
P. H. S. Students Will Present This
Old, Yet Famous Comedy
Next Thursday Night.

On Thursday night, May 10th, the
Pupils of the Pocomoke High School
will present "The School for Scan
CAL" comedy, by Richrd Brinsley
Sheridan.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan was a
typical product of the 18th century.
Graceful and charming in repartee,
versatile in achievement, he won
laurels, not only as man and an All
thor, but was widely discussed and
brilliant orator.
1t is interesting to note that this
highly gifted Dramatist's two most
famous plays, "The Rivals" and
"The School for Scandal" together
with Goldsmith's "She Stoops to
Conquer" are the only 18th century
dramas which retain their popu-
larity.
Since Sheridan's plays were first
produced in the United States, De-
cember 18th, 1875, they have always
been popular. George Washington,
who liked to go to the theater, en-
joyed most of all plays, it is said,
"The School for Scandal" The popu-
larity of this play has been of equal

A POCOMOKE CITIZEN
DROWNED AT CRISFIELD
Mr.. James L. Sturgis, An Officer
On The Steamer Pocomoke,
Loses His Life.

Our town was shocked on Sunday
afternoon last at the news that Mr..
James l.. Sturgis, an officer on the
steamer Pocomol1e, had been drowned
at Crisfeld. Mr.. Sturgis was second
mate on the boat and the vessel left
this city on schedule time Sunday
morning after having spent the pre-
vious night at her wharf here. He
was apparently in his usual health,
although it had been known for some
time that he was suffering with some
heart trouble.
Having arrived at Crisfeld Mr..
Sturgis took a small boat and went
csten of the steamer to look after
some Of the steering gear and it is
supposed that he was stricken sud
denly with heart trouble and fell ov-
erboard. Efforts to save him from
drowning were futile. About ten min
utes later, however, by means of
graphing hooks, the body was recov-
cred but life was extinct.
The deceased was a son of Mr.. Lit
tleton j. Sturgis of this city and made
his home here. He had left his wife
and father that morning in the best
Of spirits and imagine the shock TO
them upon the receipt of the an
nouncement of his sudden death. He
was 36 years of age. His remains
were brought to this city and on
Tuesday afternoon the funeral oc-

ment was made in the M. L. ceme-
terry.
Mr. Sturgis had been in the employ
of the B. C. & A. for some years. He
began as a watchman and had worked
himself up in line of promotion and
had the confidence and respect of the
big corporation for which he worked.
That he should be cut down so early
in his career is a matter of much re-
pret to his many friends.

Municipal Building Thursday
Afternoon.

Worcester County was held in the
municipal building, this city, Thurs
day last, May the 18th. In spite of

usually large, every section of the

sence of the club president the vice

lin, presided over the meeting. A
number Of very important matters

bers of the club. among them being
the final arrangements for a County

ability be installed in October or ear
lier.
The needed provision for assistance
TO the work Of the Home Demonstra-
tion Agent and discussion of the edu-
cational needs of the county and the
new State program for the improve
ment of education in Maryland were
discussed to some length.
Mr.. Eugene Pruitt, principal of the
Buckingham High School at Berlin,
was present and spoke on "The Ten
tative State Program for Better
Schools" Mr.. Pruitt was thoroughly
informed as to the plans of the State
Superintendent and his assistants for
educational uplift along all lines and
presented this matter so clearly and
interestingly that he aroused much
enthusiasm on the part of his audi
ence.
Much interest was evidenced in the
report of the work of the Bureau of
Measurements, newly created by the
State Department of Education, and
satisfaction was expressed that at
last some scientific means have been
arrived at for measuring the achiev-
ments of school children in the funda-
mental subjects.
The next meeting of the club will
be held at the Community Building in
Berlin, Thursday, June 9th.

WILL ERECT new
CONCRETE BUILDING
Work Begun On New Plant Of The
Lewis Cleaning And Dye Works
On Willow Street.

AS was stated in these columns
some weeks ago the Lewis Cleaning
e Dye Works is the name of new
enterprise for Pocomoke City. The
members of this firm are Messrs
Norman J. Lewis and George A
Ethridge. Some weeks ago, it will be
remembered, they purchased of the
Farmers and Merchants Purchasing
Corporation the property on Willow
street known as the Polk property
with the intention of building new
plant thereon.
This week the ground was broken
for the erection of their new plant
and the foundation has already been
put in. Their building will be 20 Y
70 feet and at present will be only
one story in height, the structure be-
ing so arranged that other stories can
be added when necessary. 1t will be
built of concrete blocks the front to
be finished with the granite effect
block. The front will be largely glass
as large show window has been al
ranged for. A well-arranged office
and show room will be in the front
part of the building and it will be fit
ted up with cabinets suitable for the
business they are to engage in. All Of
the rear portion of the building will
be used as work room.
1t is their intention as soon as the
building is completed to start their
cleaning and pressing department at
work and just as soon as the proper
machinery can be obtained the dyeing
outfit will be installed. They have
already bought the machinery for the
plant and it is of the most improved
type. 1t is expected, at least the
most of it, to be ready for installation
by the time the building is ready.
This will be the only business of its
kind on the shore south of Whining
ton and these young men are to be
congratulated upon their spirit of en-
terprise. Every Pocomokian will well
come the new enterprise and wish
these young men that success they
justly deserve.
