The Educational Fakers
Condemned by Winchester
The Despot's Heel is on Thy Shore
Maryland. My Maryland"


Should be sung throughout the State and the
people of this proud and sefrespectng old commonwealth
should rise and spun the northern scum of arrogant
after day. publicly insulting all of the old time traditions
of manhood if there left among the people In
stead of spurnng with Indignation the false and absurd
statements which these conceed and half educated theor
lists giving out in their highly paid for reports the city
newspapers are publishing them with approval. Who
these and who coming here with their gold
bricks which they dsposing Of to the public officials?
Where did they secure all this extraordinary wisdom and
knowledge for which they charge such high prces Is it
the result of experience, is it merely theoretical which
officials and equally gulbe press? And in this search
for wisdom what has become of the experts of great
University? Has the magnificent foundation of Johns Hop
kns oered at such great expense by the State ceased to
function has it become afflicted with mental and physical
paralysis since its two greatest men President Gilman and
Dr. William Bullock Clarke have passed 1t is enough
to President Gilman and Dr. Clarke to rise from their
in indignant wrath at this invasion of so-caled edu
caona and professional experts from institutions OF far
less reputation and worth than the which they spent the
best years of their lives in building up.
And what return is the State of Maryland and its people
receiving for all the great OF money expended to
able the Johns Hopkins to perform the work for which
our state and city officials pouring out their gold IN
floods from New York and other places. Is it true
that our boasted Maryland civilization after two hundred
and fifty played out and that all will have to be cast
aside while men with Pssian and semi barbaous names
must be brought here to teach how to carry
schools build school houses and other public works.
while Northern females mostly ancient in looks and of
vinegar aspect must be brought mere to teach Maryland
boys and girls how to cook sweep make beds and wash
dishes Have all teachers and professors in the past
been frauds and fakes and all the Industrious and able
men and women who teaching schools frauds
and humbugS? Is school head Professor Cook
ignoramus and humbug? Is Professor West, who
Gently taken from the Normal School and placed the head
OF the City School system, ignorant charatan? Are all
the teachers in that magnificent million dollar
prise the State Normal School, lot of ignorant humbugs?
One would be led to think upon reading the almost daily
criticism and attacks published in the Baltimore papers, and
especially in the Sun.
And has to resent these attacks and repe
the gang insults to the fair fame of Maryland Even the
Johns Hopkins is silent, and the smaller state institutions
are mute Is this silence confession OF guilt and all this
criticism and have the people of this State been hum
bugged and fooled all these years by lot of shlewd but
ignorant charlaans and have had anything but
worthless system of education both public and private all
these years.
The very thought is absurd and look of these
high priced experts would at dsprove their claims So
far looks go they he compared of
gall and brass and greed their predominant DESIRE two OF
these heard comparing notes and calculating how much
they could work out of certain town which they
about to make professional descent The of many
OF them indicate that the Steerage of the immigrant ship
not far behind hem and for looks of gentenanly and
social refinement, they have none.
Why oh why should the City and State be compelled
away for this class of and women? The authorities
should stop it, it is imposition Most of these called
experts charaans and frauds who going around the
country like lot of Sem-reSpectable confidence and
they have really had little experience in the line
which they supposed to have special knowledge They
have found Baltimore and Maryland easy they and
they ockng here with their friends get of this
dough
The Governor and Mayor should show them that heads
of the City and State they not easy and to
the though the Sum- and most of the people
not
