utmost joyousness prevails. Even the
animals are blessed in the churches.
A correspondent who attended one Of
these quaint ceremonies, writes:
The priest lifted high the host and
Said some words Of benediction at
which the people fell on their knees
with response. An acolyte with
holy-water sprinkler passed through
the columns Of animals deftly throw
ing the sacred water upon them. The
oxen and cows were thus blessed first,
then the sheep and goats and lastly
the pigs. A moon nearly full glittered
high above the mountain stones and
combined with the light from the can
dies revealed the long, polished horns
and heaving sides ano sleek coats of
the oxen and cows and the white
w00lly skins of the sheep. The acolyte
passing among them, incensed them
and their believing, bleating and
squealing arose to tumult. But, high
above all, the voice Of the priest was
heard, as he chapted these words;

WOULD HAVE SCHOOLS STUDY
STATE CLIMATE.

The article reprinted below, rela-
tive to aid in teaching about Mary
lands weather and climate in the
public schools, is from the latest
Bulletin of the American Meteoro-
logical Society. The great interest
in these publications is shown by
the fact that during the last 80 days
the Department has received over
500 letters from Maryland and Del
aware cshools requesting them, and
booklets, climatic map sets, and
cloud charts totaling nearly 1900
have been furnished. There are
still several hundred booklets and
few score sets of climatic map sets
for free distribution, especially to
teachers, public libraries, and news.

prepared to furnished aids to teach

charts, cloud charts, and booklets
entitled, Our Climate (Svo., 29 PIP
Baltimore, 1929.
Mr.. James H. Spencer, Meteor
ologist, points out the desirability
of teaching simple facts of ones
own climate to pupils in the public
schools, even to greater extent
than has been done in the past. He
stated that some textbooks on
physical geography contain large
amount of general information on
weather and climate, but little in
formation of specific nature on
any one locality. Teachers doubt
less realize the part that climate
plays in human response and will
teach the subject with that in view.
Our Climate was prepared by
Mr.. Spencer, and contains useful in
formation regarding the climate be-
tween the Rocky Mountains and the
Atlantic Coast, but lays special EN-
phasis on that of Maryland and Del
aware. A number of maps, inciud-
ing average annual precipitation,
temperature, average dates of kill
ing frosts, average wind directions
and some maps of detailed infor-
nation. such as the highest and low
est temperatures Of record for
various cities, and tables of data on

.ERE we stand again on the
- borderland Of Welcome and
Good-by. There is so little be-
tween them and so much either
side Of them.
When the great bell Of time
strikes the midnight hour, and
1922 passes into the land Of long
ago, there Is one simple resolu-
ton that we can all make with
pretty good surety that we can
keep 1t till the next midnight
chimes-that we will be a better
man or woman in the next year
than In the last.
That won't be hard resolution
to fulfill in some degree, and IL
everyone is even q little better,
there will be heap more good
ness. kindness, success and love
in the world when 1928 rings out
that there is now.
The untried year brings with 1t
another chance for ALA chance
to make good where we have
failed-a chance to benefit by
what we have counted as failures
In the year that is passing out.
The old year has been a difficult
one for many. Some have lost
heart. The new year, which gives
promise Of so much that is better,
will bring new courage and hope
to 1hem.
If we can let the unhappy part
of the past year go with it, and
only remember the good, it will
help toward all that is best in the
new.
One of the best things that we
can hope for the 1ntried year is
that it will be busy one for
everybody. Work is the best pro-
moter- of goodness and happiness,
and the best cure for trouble and
sorrow that there Ia,

things and ring in all that is good
