be organized into a number of Boy
Scout troops all working together in
harmony and under one general coun-
Gil with one purpose, namely, to train
the individual boy to grow up into
worthwhile manhood. This is the
plan of the Boy Scout Council which
was formulated on Tuesday after
noon at Salisbury when meeting
was called to order of representa-
tives from seven different counties.
This gathering consisted of leaders
from the various communities who
had assembled to take up the boy
problem in their respective sections.
All were firm believers in the vast
amount of good accomplished by the
Boy Scouts of America and all were
eager to inaugurate movement here
on the Shore that would result in a
Capitalization of authority that would
be responsible for huge Boy Scout
Council.
After thoroughly going over the
subject, the representatives from
each of the following counties was
heard from: Kent, Caroline, Queen
Anne, Dorchester, Talbot, Somerset.
Worcester, Accomac and Wicomico.
1t was then voted to form first
class Council which would include the

al Measurements, the State Depart
ments of Education is cooperating
with the County Superintendents,
Supervisors and teachers in studying
the achievement of school children
throughout Maryland in the "Three
RS" for the purpose of improving
methods of teaching those subjects,
and of determining in which subject
the school is weak, so that more
pressure may be put on that particu-
lar subject in the classroom. An i'm
portant phase of this work is the
study of causes for retardation in
order to see what provision can be
made for the retarded pupils who can
not make progress in the ordinary
courses of instruction.
