FACTS ABOUT
OUR SCHOOLS
Valuable Information Presented
At {. of c. Meet Wednes-
day Night

The regular monthly meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce Wednesday
evening. following splendid luncheon.
was largely devoted to listening to the
| presentation of some very interesting
facts concerning our public schools and
TO an eloquent address by Supt Lewis
Oh presentday educational problems
The facts presented by L. G. Streat-
| er, school clerk, were interesting to the
| many who never go to the annual
school meeting. where such figures are
presented, but Mr.. Streater also made
many comparisons that would not lie
brought out at the school meeting.
| Growth of the schools was shown by
| the fact that while in 1916 the total
school enrolment was $50 and that of
| the highschOOl 116. the enrolment in
1927 had reached 1885. of whom 30
are hghschool students.
The 1913 tax levy for the schools,
including state and county aid, was
| 80. 44133. not including $4,000 lew
| for site.
In, 1921, the school received $50. 160.-
|
%.
The expense of maintaining the
school in 1915 was $21, 2S5.75, or $31-
:'3 per capita. In 1921 the per capita
cost of the schools had risen to S53. 80
the total expense this year being $780,
1910. This was i'll spite of the most
rigid economy, Mr.. Streater declared.
| mil .1a .1o,
Of which there were % in 1915 and 50
in 1927, has been increased from $50
to So per year
! Mr.. Streater estimated that $9,250
would be paid out for board and room
in Ladysmith by nonresident teach
ers this year. There are now % teach
ers in the grades and in the high
school: in 1915 the numbers were 1G

Mr.. Streater estimated that Lady
smith has an investment in it's schools
Of $1SJ,000. The bonded Indebtedness
Of the district is $1,000.
Mr.. Lewis prefaced his remarks by
thanking the business mon of the city
for their support Of highschoOl athlet-
ic activities. The experience Of the La
dysmith schools, the superintendent de-
clared, proved that football improves
the tone and spirit of the students of
the student body.
Mr.. Lewis made some humorous ref.
erenccs to the perils the teachers faced
| when they went over the tOps,' but
| the greater portion OF his address was
a serious appeal for more general rec
ignition Of the problems at present
facing the cOuntry's school system

People afflicted with bad breath find

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gen.

the entire system. They do that which

Of the bad after effects.
All the benefits OF nasty, sickening,

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets without

EASTON WANTS
PLAYGROUND.
Athletic Field is Included in
Improvement Agitated by
School Friends
CITIZENS OFFER
TO AID PROJECT

EASTON, Md, Jan. 26.-Pcople here
interested in the welfare OF children
and in the school problems confront
ing the educational board today are
out for a more desirable playground FOR
the children than the present little
parcel Of ground surrounding the
schDOlhOuse. The school improve
ment Association has taken up the
matter also and is Of the opinion that
the boys OF the Easton High School
should have a large athletic field,
capable Of accommodating a baseball
diamond track and sufficient ground
for football and other sports.
AZ the present time the High School
teams are compelled 20 pay every af-
ternOOn they use Federal Park, and
the only revenue coming is from The
paid admissions TO The games, which
Is small. This expense Of renting
curtails the practice considerably.
At the annual county meet Of the
Public Athletic League there is not a
suitable place TO stage the events.
With a Well-built track and a good
baseball diamond, advantages could be
had which are lacking at present. The
School Board has been unable 30 meet
this condition, on account OF no
funds; but now, that the people OF
Easton have taken the matter up, Il
Is thought that something Will be
done soon
At a recent meeting OF the School
Improvement Association II was
stated that a merchant offered The
use OF his lot 30 the school author
ities for a playground. and This, to-
gether with other sites, Is being in
vestigated Mrs. T. Hughlett Henry,
as chairman Of the playground com
mttee, Is doing her utmost to lnd
a suitable place and II the offer OF
the lot by a merchant Is feasible IL
will probably be accepted.
The present place has stands already
erected and IL Is thought mat II this
can he purchased at a reasonable fig
ure it will be wiser 10 buy 10 Uan
some other place where the stands
would have 10 be built and the ground
put in condition.
