SCHOOL HOLIDAYS

1t was announced at the Office of
County Superintendent of Schools
Palmer Saturday that the schools of
the city and county would close on
December 20, or Friday one week.
They will remain closed until the Mon
day after New Year, or January 2.
On that day, the pupils will hasten
back to their studies, with only one OF
two one-day vacations from then until
the end Of the year.
At the Maryland School for the
Deaf, the vacation will begin on the
21st of December, while the children
will not return to that institution un-
til January A. 1t is probable that
many of the students at this school
will remain in Frederick over the
Christmas holidays.
Events prior to the closing of Hood
College for the Christmas vacation
began Friday night with faculty re-
cital ut Winchcste" Hall. The college
will close next Saturday and will not
reopen until January 3. Immediately
after classes next Saturday the
exodus of college girls will start.

NOVEMBER HOT AND DRY

November, 1921, was the warmest
November month on record, accord
ing to the local weather man. The
general temperature which prevailed
during the past month has been above
that of the other Novembers since
the local sharp has been keeping tabs
on the atmospheric conditions. The
highest the thermometer has regis
tered this past month has been II
degrees on the 18th. Only once
since the sharp has been keeping the
records has this been equalled in No
vember, that being on November a,
1914. Last November high was II
on the first.
Lowest this November was rs on
the 18th. This also shows that No
vembcr, 1921, was an especially warm
month for low last November was Is
on the 14th. This a difference of
II degrees.
The precipitation this November
was lighter than the November of
1920. A total of $3.50 inches Of rain
fell during the entire past month
while during November, 1920, the
precipitation measured 3.S1 inches.
This November, rain fell on 10 days
while last November it rained on
only 10 days. The heaviest rainfall
for "a hours last month was .S3 of an
inch which was on the 2Sth. The
next heaviest was on the first when
70 of an inch fell. A thunderstorm
visited the county on the first day
of November.
Heavy frosts fell on the 9th, Sth,
18th, 10th and 22nd. Reported snow
furries visited the county on three
occasions during the past month, be-
ing on the 18th, 18th and Goth. High
gales swept through the county on the
3rd 18th, 22nd and oath. Heavy fogs
descended practically all during the
month.
The warmest night was on the 18th,
when the mercury in the official tube
went as high as the 62 degree mark
This was the warmest night on rec
ord for the month, the weather prog
nosticator stated. The next warmest
night was the first when the thermo-
meter registered 81 degrees.
Ice formed on five mornings dur
ing the month, these being the 9th
Sth, 11th, 18th and 10th. The thick
ness of the ice varied from one-third
to two-fifths of an inch.

out and play can not be resisted bat
where can we play? Our athletic field
is nothing but a swamp in the early
Spring. When you are thinking a
bout things to do to help your boys
and girls at school, think about that
mud hole" too.
In a few more years we will be men
and women, and to a large extent the
welfare of our community and your
community will be in our hands.
You know that the better educated we
are the better service we can render
the community and the more pleas
ant we can make it for you in your de-
chning years.
Knowing as you do what wonder
full power we will then WELD either for
good or for evil-for good if we are
properly educated, for evil, perhaps, if
we are not, are you not afraid to deny
us anything that will help to prepare
us for future useful citizenship?
Through our study of civics we have
learned that the public schools are run
on very much cheaper scale, in pro-
portion to the work done, than any
other institution in the country. 1t
seems that whenever little retrench-
ment in public expenditures becomes
necessary, the appropriation for edu-
cational purposes always receives the
heaviest blow. Why do you permit
this Mr.. Taxpayer, when it strikes the
vital spot in your home, when it works
to the detriment of your boy or girl on
whom probably, the happiness and
ease of your declining years depends? :?
Always keep this fact in mind, that a
we'll trained brain at the other end of
the arm enables the hand to do better
work in whatever it undertakes, even
holding the handles of plow.
| saw and perhaps you saw, an artl-
Gle in the Frederick News the other
day where a Mr.. Etchison said he was
opposed to an increased appropriation
for the schools. This worried me very
much for awhile because l was afraid
school conditions next year would be
no better than they are at present.
Now, Mr.. Taxpayer, the conditions
that prevail in our school are condl-
II tions that you will find in nearly ev-
cry school in our county and State.
Won't you, before the next Legisla-
ture meets, have personal talks with
the members from Frederick County
and tell them that you as taxpayer
expect them to give their full support
to Prof. Cooks plan for improving the
schools and won't you make it your es-
pecial business to see the County
Commissioners before the next budget
is made up and urge them to make
ample appropriation for school pur-
poses even if it does increase your
taxes little.
Cast thy bread upon the waters
and it shall return to thee after many
days"

i. SHADE TREES

Two Maryland cities have accepted
the offer of the recently established
Shade Tree Department of the State
Board of Forestry to plan the develop
ment of shade trees and the mainte-
nance of those already planted.
Frederick started this week to carry
out a plan which has been outlined by
the department, it was announced by
State Forester F. w. Besley. Prelim-
mary examinations have been made

Communicated
Mr.. Taxpayer
I am a seventh grade pupil.
90 to the Thurmont school; l like to
go to school and I am also very fono
of study. There are forty-six pupils
in the seventh grade room. We have
only forty-two single desks in the
room, which means that eight pupils
must occupy four desks. We have
only thirty-two sets of books which
must be divided among the forty-siN
pupils. Many of our books are nearly
worn out. l often take books home to
prepare my lessons for next day and
when l sit down to study / find that
the lesson is not in the book, which is
so disappointing that sometimes can
not help crying.
We asked our teacher why each one
of us could not have full set of gooo
books. He told US that the Board OF
Education did not have enough books
to supply all who needed them and die
not have the money to purchase more
at this time. That was very discour'
aging news for US. Now Mr.. Tan
payer am going to appeal to you.
know that it is your wish that we all
get an education and become useful
citizens and that is our wish too, but
how can we do so if denied the imple'
ments to work with?
When you 90 out to cultivate the
ground you do not take a plow that
has the point broken off; when you
send your hired man out to do piece
of work l am sure that you see that
he is we'll supplied with all the neces'
sary implements so that he can do the
work effectively. Now when you seno
YOUR boys and girls (the most pre-,
cious possession you have) to school
YOU should be sure that their work is
directed by efficient supervisors ano
thoroughly competent teachers and
that they have all the books they need
not only text books but all needful
reference books as well. Most of ou1
early life is spent in and around the
school and since "all work and no play
makes Jack dull boy" we also need
properly supervised amusements.
When Spring comes, after being
housed up all Winter, the call to come
