ROOM FIVE A LITTLE PIONEER
By Jeanncttc Corscr

When l Has d little girl lived in a big house in Kcumnh> The cracks were stuffed with moss and we had wooden pegs for nails. In one corner was bed. IL had a heavy skin for a mattress and another for a cover. The other two beds had skins for mattresses and cloth quilts.
 There was a big fire place on the opposite side from the beds. and iron hooks over the fire on which We could hang pots to cook in. Above the fireplace was shelf of boards with gun above it. At one side some plants were hanging.
 When was ten years old was taught to spin. and while mother cooked the meals and sewed, We girls took turns sewing. It was not a very nice job.
 The boys and father loosened and planted the ground and cut the brush. We brought in the wood | liked to do that better than spin SO often my sis ter did the spinning while | brought in wood
 We always liked to plant the garden and often We helped to clear the land
 lii the long afternoons and evenings Hc strung apples for winter and popped corn and told stories. We played "Tick-Tack-Toc" We also took d board and cut long crosses. deep enough for a grain of corn to run through and we tried to see whose grain would get to the center first.
 When the schoomaster came to our house he stayed long time because there were Jack. James, PaaL Kate, Dolly. Mory, Marion and myself to go to school We girls all took turns helping mother wait on him.

 education, one needs but 70 study l the history of civilization. Modern | transportation; modern cOmmunica- tion: modern home comforts; all that l delights one in music, art and lltera- | ture; courts of justice and laws that protect property rights and defend the weak, are all the results of edu- eration. Neglect to educate one gen eration and society would revert to 1 the stage of the bone fish hook and , the flint arrowhead
 NATIONS DEVELOPMENT
 Tt is no accident that the United 1 States England and France, on the one hand, and Spain, China and Rus l sia, on the other, are what they are. A nations development or lack of de- velopment is directly dependent upon the amount and kind of education which it's people acquire There is no nation in the world which is important . commercially and politically and with in whose borders there is a prosper. ous, progressive and contented people. in which per capita expenditures for a liberal education are not high. The efficiency of an illiterate and bigoted people in competition with an educated people is as the crooked stick against the tractordrawn blow or the oX-cart against tine express train, the ocean greyhound and the airplaue.
 PURPOSE OF EDUCATION
 The purpose of education is to de- yelop the individual to the point where he can understand his environment to the highest possible extent and use this knowledge to advance himsah and au with whom he comes in contac.. Elucation c2nnot be marrow it the highest development is to take place II must be at least thrccfola in aspect ar' nurture spirit, mind md body. Ha alone can produce wr'lroundcd individual. state or nation.
 The question is naturally raised as to where education 2. {, be ac- qur,d. Most people ar' IurIinrJ to rLce too much emphasis on the school as an cducatiyc factor its responsibility is large, but it can be no substitute for the hom th" com I,m,ty and th, church. The average child annually spends approximately oue-finh of his waking hours 'p school The home and community are in direct contact with him for four.rilths of his active life during the period in which he attends school and during the whole of his first six years of life when habits and ideals are very readily acquired. The responsibility of the home and community in the education. oI any people is, therefore. or tremendous import The ideals. habits. and m. pulses or any individual are antrr- mined largely by his outoGscbool en- yiroumrnD
 GREAT OPPORTUNITY
 Herein lies the great opportunity for an organization such as the Alaska Native Brotherhood The children of Alaska cannot attain the utmost of which they are capable m a home and community environment which is not conducive to develop m"nr The Federal and Territorial governments must maintain as eff cient schools as possible as d means Of bringing formal education to all Alaska children. The people of Alaska must accept their responsibility in thc matter or outol-school education which makes up very large part of the sun total of all education"

Thousands AT Public Landinq
Biggest Crowd Ever Known
Automobiles Numbering Thousands And Every
Kind Of Known Horse Vehicle Carried Loads
Of Good Natured Humanity

1t has been the custom for years
for the farmers of lndiantown and
other sections of Worcester County
to hold their annual picnic at Public
Landing on the first Thursday in
August. The crowds have been great
er and greater each year. and es-
pecially since the automobile has be-
come the universal means of trans
portation.
But yesterday, big Thursday" was
record-breaker. Andy Haubert
while he was at the roalroad station
unloading freight Thursday. says
he "saw hundreds of automobiles go
ing down the road to Public Landing"
In the afternoon the crowd grew by
leaps and bounds, and there was
hardly room for the seething mass
of humanity on the walks, in the
pavilionS and along the bay front.
Democratic messenger. [volume] (Snow Hill, Md.) 1869-1973, 1921-08-06

The bathing crowd reminded one of
Atlantic City on the Fourth Of July.
Every available foot of the roadside
for mile this side of Public Land
ing was occupied by an automobile
and the yards and fields were full
of them. But, gentle reader, pre-
pare to shed tears of regret, for not
being there at supper time. Grub to
the right!-Grub to the left-Down
went the six hundred fried chickens
yes, and more.
OF course there were all kinds of
minor accidents on the way to and
from the mecca-tires gone flat
out of gas-a broken spring-and all
kinds of auto mishapS, but everybody
was good natured and everybody
helped everybody else.
II was some crowd and some great
day, but it is great pity the road TO
Public Landing was in such bad
condition.

STATE GETS LARGE
SUM OF MONEY
Tax Commissioner Turns Over
To State Comptroller A Very
Large Sum of Money.

For the first six months of 1921
the State Tax Commission has c)l-
lected and remittcd to the Comp
troller of the Treasury $26.513.70,
constituting bonus tax collected from
new corporations based on authorized
capital stock, and from increases in
capital stock from existing corpora
tions.
Recording fees collected and re-
mitted for the same period amounted
to $l0,252. As compared with the
same period in 1920 this is decided
drop and is some reflection of the
financial and industrial condition.
The bonus tax for the period last
year was $42,i55 and the recording
fees $l0,522.

Several growers of cantaloupeS
who carried loads of green melons to
market last week were greatly sur
prised when the buyers refused to
bid at all on the unripe product. This
was in accord with the efforts being
made to place the reputation of Wi
comico-grown cantaloupeS upon the
highest standard and the concerted
action of the buyers is said to have
demonstrated that the habit of ship
ping the early fruit will be eliminated
in this section, thereby adding great
ly to the prestige of the local pro-
duct.
In speaking of the opportunity
growers of cantaloupes have for max
ing this one of the biggest canta-
loupe sections in the United States,
w. X. Beattie. of the Department
of Agriculture. who was in the county
on a visit looking over the situation
said that the possibilities on the
Eastern Shore are far better than in
California for growing melons on a
big scale, and for making this the
premier market, if the growers will
only give the people what they want
ripe, sweet cantaloupeS.
"Ths section of the Eastern
Shore" said Mr.. Beattie, "is in a po-
sition to grow far better cantaloupes
than California Soil and climate
conditions are much better here. and
the melons grown in Wicomico are
better looking. better tasting and of
better quality. However. to make n
real big market the growers must
not pick their melons too green, as
has been the case in many instance,
in the past"
As an example of how carefully
the California product is scrutinized
before being put on the market. Mr..
