%, 1914, Mrs. Trice lived with her
husband until April rs of this year.
The court reserved decision in the di-
vorce action.

REVIVAL SERVICES
TO START SUNDAY
in M. P. CHURCH
Big Evangelistic Campaign Planned
By Pastor And Members
Of This Church.
DR.. E. D. STONE WILL
ASSIST In THE MEETINGS

One of the greatest blessings that
can come to any community is a re-
v'val of religion.
1t is customary for the churches to
hold annually special evangelistic
meetings which as a rule mean much
to both church and community.
However, it has been number of
years since Pocomoke has had a re-
vival that has gripped and stirred the
entire community such as we had in
the days of our fathers.
We believe such revival is needed
and that the time is ripe.
Roger w. Babson, the great fnan-
cial expert says "The need of the
hour is not more legislation. The need
Of the hour is more religion"
We quote Mr.. Babson becuse he
speaks from the standpoint of the
business man, layman who deals
with the big business of our country.
The pastor and members of Beth
any Church are putting on an evange
listic campaign which we hope will
result in such a revival as we refer to.
A revival will deepen the spiritual
life not only of one church but that OF
all the churches, and turn the minds
and hearts of the unchurched toward
God and things eternal
We would like to see a revival OF
such power and proportions that
would sweep over the entire communi-
ty and bring great spiritual awaH
ening to our people.
This effort should enlist the prayers
and corporations of all the Chris
tians of the town.
DR.. E. D. Stone, of Baltimore, has
been secured to preach and conduct
the meetings. He is strong preach
er, has charming personality and Is
intensely interested in the salvation of
men. If you hear him once you will
want to hear him again.

P. H. 5. SOCCER TEAM
WIN FIRST TWO STARTS
Defeat Snow Hill And Stockton In
Two Fast Games. PLAY
Berlin This Friday.

The Pocomoke High School soccer
team is going to make a strong bid
for the Eastern Shore Championship
this year. 1t has a speedy aggrega-
tion that seems to have the punch in
both backfeld and on the forward
line.
The first game of the season, a
practice game with Crisfield, ended
in IL tie, both teams showing speed
and teamwork. The P. H. S. team
showed that "never say die" spirit,
which in the last two minutes brought
them their goal.
The county schedule opened last
Friday against Snow Hill, the locals
defeating them 10. The small score
fails to show how completely the team
from the county seat was outclassed,
the ball being kept in the Snow Hill
territory the major portion of the
game.
Tuesday the team journeyed to
Stockton, where using all of it's sub
stitutes it trounced the Stockton boys
to the tune of 60.
Today (Friday) the team plays the
fast Berlin aggregation and expect
to give a good account of themselves
with all of the regulars in the lineup.
Following is the summary of the
game with Sow Hill:

EDUCATIONAL
TESTS GIVEN
SCHOOL PUPILS
Work Completed This Week.---Find-
ings Will Be Made AT Meeting
Held In Snow Hill Today
OMPARISONS TO BE MADE
WITH OTHER SCHOOLS in U.S..

During the past two weeks thu
school children of Worcester county
have been given tests in Arithmetic
and Reading, and the teachers are
studying the findings of these tests at
meeting held in Snow Hill today.
The tests were given under the aus
pices of the State Department of Edu-
cation by Miss l. Jewell Simpson, of
the Bureau of Educational Measure
nlents; Mr.. A. c. Humphreys, Super
intendent of the Worcester county
schools; Miss Mary B. Pusey, super
visor; Miss Lucy N. Stagg, attendance
officer; Miss Willie Shockley and Miss
Annie Ross, teachers; and Miss Cook
of Baltimore.
In the large graded schools of the
county, afternoon meetings have al
ready been held with the teachers
where the answer papers were scored
and carefully studied by the teachers
for the purpose Of finding out partic-
uiar types of errors made by the pu-
pills. The results were then shown in
the form of graphs, comparing the
performance of the Worcester county
children in reading and arithmetic in
each grade with the performance of
children throughout the United
States.
The particular tests used in the
Worcester county schools have been
given to hundred of thousands of boys
and girls in different parts of the
country and to many as 10000 chill
dren in the Maryland counties. The
schools of Worcester as whole seem
to make better showing in arithme-
tic than in reading, although in GER
tain instances good work is being
done in both subjects. Tables have
been made showing the amount of ov-
cr-ageness in each school, and the per-
formance of the children will be stud
led in connection with their ages.
In some schools the children are a
year older in certain grades than is
the case in other schools. This over
age problem will be discussed with
teachers and possible means of i'm
proving the work of the pupils will be
suggested.
At the meeting called by Superin
tendent Humphreys today he and Miss
Simpson will discuss the results of
the county wide survey, fundamental
principles involved in the teaching of
reading and arithmetic will be re-
viewed and definite suggestions will
he made to improve methods of teach
ing in these subjects.
Through it's Bureau of Educational
Measurements the State Department
Of Education is cooperating with the
County Superintendents, supervisors,
and teachers in studying the achieve
ments of school children throughout
Maryland in the "Three RS" for the
purpose of improving methods of
teaching in these subjects. An im-
portant phase of this work is the
study of causes for retardation in or
der to see what provision can be made
for the retarded pupils who cannot
make progress in the ordinary courses
Of instruction.
