EDUCATION WEEK-DECEMBER

The President of the United States
has issued a proclamation with the
proposal that the week beginning on
Sunday, December 3, and ending Sat
urday, December Q, be set aside for
special observance as American Edu-
cation week.
The President has recommended to
the governors of the States that they
cooperate with the other authorities
to make the week a period of revival
of interest in the broad work of Ma
tional education
Schools are no less important to the
people of Garrett county than to the
rest of the country. The undevelop-
ed resources of the minds and bodies
of the children Of Garrett county far
outnumber the undeveloped resources,
said to be lying beneath the soil. i
greater interest on the part of the
people Of Garrett county, effective and
systematic organizations of patrons
and citizens could accomplish wonders
with our present system Of schools.
One week of intensive consideration
of the subject of education in Gar
rett county will go a great way to-
ward desiring and having better pub
lie schools

The rosy-hued dawn, tinted with
purple and gold, floods the eastern
horizon with a magnificent blending
of colors that is most beautiful to be-
hold. While from banks of fleecy
wilderness in the armament of blue

shine gently creeping through. Radi-
ating realms of glory in a sky of sill

fashioned mansions of eternal bliss.
See the steps that lead up heavenward

COMMUNITY CENTERS.

Did you ever sit on a store box at
the corner grocery of your village and
discuss local, State and National
problems with other men? OF course
you have, and you will admit that
your time was not wasted, although
the grover may have secretly anathe-
matted you as a nuisance, or, to say
the least, a loafer. But the corner
store, post Office and other places are
passing as social centers and commu-
nifty forums and must be replaced
with something better. The better
locale is the public school building,
which is now being used in many CEN
tiers and communities as the common
meeting place of the people. There
are discussed such questions as good
roads, public health, methods of rails
ing and spending public funds, or
methods of production and transpor-
tation of food products. In many
school buildings there is created that
neighborhood spirit so essential for
concerted action. The means employed
are various-games, folk dances, dra-
mas, chorus singing-which require
the subordination of self to coopera-
tive effort.
The use of the school building as
community center or forum will fur
nish the key to the possible solution
of variety of problems, the Ameri-
>canization problem, for example. The
great object of the community center
is to break down the barriers of ra-
cial and religious prejudices and pro-
mote spirit of fraternity among the
native and foreign born. Citizenship
means membership. 1t is obvious that
the teaching of English to aliens is
not sufficient to make them members
of America. To acquire the language
as a means Of communication with
their fellows is, of course, necessary.
But it is only a means to an end. If
they are ever to feel that they belong
with us, the right hand of fellowship
must be extended to them. The nigh
borhood spirit alone can create in
them the spirit of America.

The change In the weather intensi-
fies our appreciation for the beauti-
full weather we have had. There is a
general complaint of low water. Many
of our faucets have gone bone dry

the foot of the hill. Some have
adopted "the old oaken bucket" plan
again.
Mr.. W. J. Cover, of near Somer-
field, Pa, was a business caller in our
town this week. Mr.. Cover, now a
lumber dealer and inspector, was for
merly a saw mill man of this vicinity.
The saw mill owned by Steyer Bros.
was burned on last Thursday night.
Every effort was made to eXtinguish
the fire, but owing to the mill being
nearly mile from the nearest house
the fire had gotten under such head
way that all efforts were of no avail
except to keep the fire from the lum-
Der yard nearby.
The fire was caused by the wind,
which was unusually high, blowing
sparks from the slab-pile to the roof
of the mill. The loss is estimated at
about thousand dollars. The mill
will resume operations as soon as it
can be rebuilt.
Mr. w. w. Steyer is spending a two
months vacation with friends and rel

felt the three years he has been in

having him here again to tell of the

means of passing Judgment on himself
Aware of his own failures and short
comings he is in mood to repent and
to live and serve in larger measure
and ampler ways.
The sounding of the Shofar. or trum-
pet. is associated in the minds of the
worshippers with the thought of call
ing them to repent of their sins and
improve their ways during the new
year.
According TO Jewish legend. New
year marks the anniversary of the crea-
tiOn of the world. Following that legend
this new year will be the 5GS3rd year
since the world was created. OF great
cr importance is the Interpretation put
upon this legend by the rabbis to whom
it becomes the anniversary of the birth
of man. All mankind is thus endowed
with II common birth-right and hence
the peculiar solicitude of Judaism for
mankind is stressed ON this day.
Among Orthodox Jews elaborate pre-
parations have been made for this holi-
day and that of the Day of Atonement
which falls due ten days later. During
the four weeks previous, penitential
prayers are recitcd and this ceremony
continues until the eve of Yom Kip
pur.
The Jewish people of America avail
themselves of the privilege of eXchang-
tives on this day, and of strengthening
the bonds of devotion in the house
hold and making it a sanctuary worthy
of American Jews.

The address of DR.. Weizmann, as
President of the World Zionist Organ

cations of the present Zionist situa-
ton. "The ratification of the Pales-
tine Mandate" he said, "is the fulfill
ment of the first point of the Basle
program. But our task is rendered
thrice difficult because we have to con-
tend with difficult land, difficult
people, and difficult time"
DR.. Weizmann regretted that some
of the expectations had been untul-
filled as indeed some of the Zionist
gloss has worn off, in the exigencles OF
the struggle. But he warned the as
sembly that loyalty to Britain, the
Mandatory Power, is essential and
that through such loyalty zionists may

delegates. The Executives had de-
cided that DR.. Weizmann should, right
from the start, announce the Admins
tration's view which is that the jew
ish Agency be constituted along repre-
sentative lines. The details of the
formation were to be left to the near
future. DR.. Weizmann accordingly
contented himself with the declaration
that the Jewish Agency must be the

communities, with leading Jewish peo-
pie and the great Jewish parties,
hoping thereby to secure common
platform. The road to such a plat
form is by way of an all-Jewish World
Congress-" was DR.. Weizmann's an
nouncement.
An official declaration of friendship
for Palestine's Arab population was
also included in DR.. Weizmann's open
ing remark, in the course of which he
voiced his deep conviction that the
Jewish Homeland can be built only
with the help of the Arabs"
Following the two opening speeches
and addresses by Menacham Nsisch-
kin and Dr. Leon Motzkin, two of the
delegates to the first Zionist Congress
in Basle, Dr. Weizmann had proposed
the following as members of the Prae
sidium: Rev. DR.. Chajes of Vienna,
DR.. Schmarya Levine, Rabbi Meyer
Berlin of New York, Louis Lipsky of
New York and David Yellin of Jeru-
salem. Messages were dispatched to

Congress meeting simultaneously in

fraternal greeting and the Zionist de
sire for cooperation was sounded by
David Yellin, Chairman of the Ma
tional Council of Palestine Jews.
Fridays afternoon session was op-
ened by Dr. Weizmann. His speech
was again of a political nature, re-
yiewing the world factors favorable t.
Zionism. He stressed particularly the
wide sympathies of the labor parties

ton and the relations between Jews
and Arabs. 1t is true, he said, that
the White Paper embodying the latest
Interpretation, in particular where it
deals with the regulation OF jewish
immigration, is provocative of "un-
easiness." But the White Paper is not

ton of the present-day situation, he
