LAUNCH MOVEMENT FOR
BACK TO SCHOOL, HERE
Rotary Club Gets Behind Project
To Bring Delinquent Lads
Together
TO STRESS EDUCATION

The Rotary Club of Annapolis has
taken up in behalf OF the city the
Back to School, movement and a
campaign is to be launched among
young boys similar to those Icing
waged in many cities throughout the
country
Such campaign has for its OBJ
ject prevailing upon boys who have
left elementary schools of learning
after completing the work of the
eighth grade. to return to school and
complete the four years of high
school work. There are scores of in
stances of the sort right here in An
napolis and the Rotary Club plans to
lend every possible effort to carry the
local campaign to successful con-
clusion. Boys leaving school after
finishing grammar school work are
teyond the pale of the regularly en-
ployed truant officer in a community,
hence the idea to better the standard
of education among the youth.
Committee OF Three Named
The local Rotary Club has appoint
ed as a committee to further the prof.
ect Rev. Edward ID. Johnson, rector
of st. Anne's Church; George w. Nor
ris, county agent for Anne Arundel
county, and Oscar Dawes. The coun-
ty school authorities are lending their
cooperation in the campaign, as it Is
from these officials together with
school principals that the names of
delinquent school boys can best be Sc
cured. Tentative plans of the local
committee include arranging a "get
together" meeting at supper to
which all boys who have not return
ed to complete their education in the
city high school will be invited. This
will probably be held along about the
middle of October. Speakers will be
secured to impress more firmly upon
the youths the tremendous advantages
OF better education and to advise them
to return to school.
The campaign will be directed en-
tirely to the situation here in the cit5
The work in other cities is meeting
with success and it is felt that the
movement will also gain favor here.
