 Gives Address.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.-Woman has a good chance to succeed in life as a man, but she must do it in her own field, Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Mccormick, former wife Of Harold F. Mccormick and joint sponsor of the Chicago Opera Company, said in an address before club here
 The work of the world is accom- plished by two forces, the positive and the negative" Mrs. Mccormick said Man is the positive force; woman is the negative. If she would win in the battle of life she must )lay the game in her own way.
 Woman in many ways are consti-
 uted differently than man. If they are to find happiness, if they are to nave boise and serenity of soul, they must know themselves. They must know their limitations and realize their handicaps.
 "Women represent the rails of a railroad-the negative force-and man the engine, or positive force. Ii is her ability to bear, as the raifs bear the engine, that makes her the counterpart of the male"

Legislature Win Consider Needs
OF Public Schools In..Maryland

able to finance its schools in accord
ance with the provisions of the new
educational bill, it will receive an ap-
portionment from the state Equaliza-
ton Fund of sufficient amount to en-
able it to do so on the 81 cent rate.
The President of the State Board of
Education, DR.. Henry M. Fitzhugh, in
letter to the Governor a few weeks
ago which was published incur col
umns, called special attention to the
fact that the public school system Of
the state is often unjustly blamed by
the taxpayers for the state tax-rate
on account of the fact that the reve-
nues derived from direct taxation con-
stitute the main source of the appro
priation for schools, and that the lat
ter get very little from the indirect
revenues of the state, although the
latter constitute about two-thirds of
the total revenues of the states. Most
people do not realize that the institu-
tions for the care of the sick, the fee
BILE minded, the criminal and the indi-
gent, together with colleges, absorb
nearly all of the $11,000,000 derived
from licenses, etc., and according to
the present law, the public schools can
get no part of this fund until all the
other institutions have been provided
for. This causes the general public TO
feel that the public school system is
almost solely responsible for the d.
rect state tax rate, whereas. if the
public schools should receive thc;r
share of the indirect revenues of the
state, each and all of the other insti-
tutions would be ratably represented
in the direct tax levy and the public
schools would be seen to be absorbing
less than 20 per cent of the revenues
of the state instead of 40 per cent as
apparent under the present method of
distribution.
DR.. Fitzhugh recommends accord
ingly a new method of distributing the
state funds which would give the pub
lie schools their rightful share of the
funds derived from indirect taxation
The new Educational program
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1922-01-07

seems to have been very carefully and
theughtfully worked out by the state
educational leaders. It is evident
that much labor has gone into its
making. We commend the energy and
the industry now being shown by the
states educational leaders and recon-
mend their program, soon to be pre-.
scented to the state legislature, to tie
thoughtful consideration of our read
ers and constituents.

Worth Considering.

The question is not so much how
you contract a cold, but how to get
nd of it with the least loss of time
and inconvenience. If you will consid-
er the experience of others under SIM
liar circumstances, who have been
most successful in checking their colds
in their beginning, you will secure a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy without delay, and use it faithful
ly. There are many families who have
used this preparation successfully for
years and hold it in high esteem. II
is excellent. -Advertisement.
