COST OF EDUCATION Is YRS. AGO
The Frederick News-Post says:

The Frederick News-Post says:
"An interesting little document, the
property of Harry B. Witter, near
Frederick, which shows the advance
in the cost of education within the
past rs years has been brought to The
News-Post. The little piece of paper,
scarcely more than scrap, contains a
note from the teacher of the Mt.Pleas-
ant School to one Aaron Baker, near
Mt. Pleasant, and concerns the tuition
of a young son of the latter.
The note is dated 1846 and some
interesting comparisons may be drawn
between the cost of education in those
days and at the presnt time. The
name of the composer of the note has
been lost in the intervening years but
he showed a wonderful exactitude in
figures. The handwriting is the kind
so popular during the early part of the
10Th century and is augmented by ma
ny fourishes calculated to lend beauty
to the finished product.
From the contents of the note it
would seem that Mr.. Baker had re-
ceived from the schoolmaster bill for
$1.43R, the amount due on son Johns
schooling for the year. However, Mr..
Baker considered the demand exorbi-
tant and reminded the school teacher
that he had BEEN promisd rebate
for certain time which John missed
from his scholastic duties back in 1843.
The worthy master had entirely for
gotten his promise but upon having his
memory refreshed hastened to make
good. In those days it was customary
to pay only for the number of days
pupil was at school.
The note which was dated Mt. Pleas
ant, March 81, 1916, reads as follows:
"'Sir: had forgotten that I prom
ised to deduct off the lost time of 1843
But / am still willing to do it. The
time lost then was two weeks and
three days for two scholars, which is
twenty-six days for one The num-
Der of days John came this winter was
41x.031s or $1.43a. The number of
days lost in 1843 was 26x03h or SOL.
Balance due me on this time $.52R.'
"The three and one-half cents men
toned was the cost Of one days tut
ton. John Baker who is mentioned
in the epistle was killed in 1861 in
Kansas and his body brought to Glade
cemetery, Walkersville, for burial.
Mrs. ]. H. Witter, of Walkersville,
mother of H. B. Witter, who before
her marriage was Miss Baker, is a
younger sister of this same John, and
daughter of the Aaron to whom the
letter was addressed"

A LIVELY SUNDAY EVENING

Residents along Frederick Street
were awakened from their peaceful
slumbers on Sunday evening about II
o'clock by the report of five pistol
shots. 1t is needless to say that they
were under the impression that this
little town was being blown up.
However, on careful observation it
was found that few neighbors
from nearby town were out cele-
brating and did not think that they
were getting prompt service at one of
the local garages and took this
means of showing that they were after
a little attention.
Startled by the report of the shots
the manager of the garage always on
the job, demanded from the "joy rid
ers" an explanation, of their actions.
He was met with volley of oaths and
seeing the condition of his late visitors
and realizing a little trouble was in
store, Immediately notified constable
Adelsberger who reported to the scene
of action and after some little persua-
sion managed to get the night raiders
on their way.
The question uppermost in the minds
of the onlookers has been why these
young men were not arrested and pun
ished for their escapade. The mere
fact of not only carrying concealed
weapons but also using them was suf-
ficient evidence to bring these young
Buffalo Bills" to justice. 1t is COM
mon talk around town as to their con-
dition and if such people are allowed
to run a car then the travelling public
is in great danger. Tourists at home
and from abroad have been called to
time for little petty offenses and many
are wondering why these disturbers of
the peace were allowed to get away.
1t is understood that there is to be an
investigation of the matter.-Emn1its-
burg Chronicle.

Taking Desperate Chances.

1t is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment,
and knowledge of this fact leads 9th
ers to take their chances instead of
giving their colds the needed atten-
ton. 1t should be borne in mind that
every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality, makes the system less able
to withstand each succeeding attack
and paves the way for more serious
diseases. Can you afford to take such
desperate chances when \Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, famous for it's cures
of bad colds may be had. for trife? ?

ARM BROKEN

Last Wednesday Mrs. Elizabeth Slick
who is spending the winter with her
daughter, Mrs. E. B. Seton, in Ha-
gerstown, tripped over the leg of a
bench and was thrown heavily to the
porch. Her left arm was broken at
the wrist. She was taken Immediately
to the hospital where the break was
adjusted; later an X-ray showed the
wrist to be in good shape.
Mrs. Slick suffered quite a great
deal from the injury and shock, but
at present is somewhat improved and
on the way, we hope, to complete re-
covery.

ICE PLANT FOR EMMITsBURG
The Chronicle of last week says:

The Chronicle of last week says:
"There is strong possibility that
Emmitsburg will have a new industry
here next year. Several out-of- town
parties were in the neighborhood dur
ing the past week looking over the
field with a view of establishing an
ice manufacturing plant in this Sec
ton. These people are experts in the
ice business and have several plants
in other parts of Maryland. The pur-
pose of their visit was not in the ma
ture of looking for investors but to see
some of the leading citizens of the
town as to the prospects and if such a
plant was needed and would be a pay
ing proposition" ~

to an old-fashioned good Ntime. The
meeting was held in Room Nine in the
High School Building, which was
pleasinglN decorated for the occasion
with pine and laurel, and was in
charge of president Russell N. Young
The chief entertainment feature was a
spelling match between two sides cho-
sen by Mrs. Anna Jones and Mr.. L. s.
Birely, who acted as captains. About
forty persons participated. The hon.
ors of the evening were accorded to
Mr.. Stanley Damuth, who out-spelled

STATES ATTY REPRIMANDED

States Attorney Aaron R. Anders
was reprimanded by the Court Mon
day morning for tardiness>-The court
said that a fine of $1O0 should have
been imposed. This is one of the most
unusual incidents in court. 1t is
doubtful if the court has ever publicly
reprimanded the States Attorney be-
fore the other members of the bar.
The cause of Mondays trouble arose
over the fact that States Attorney
Ahders was absent when the calling
of the December docket was started
at 10 o'clock. The court sent a mes
senger for the states attorney twice,
but it was not until an hour later that
Mr.. Anders arrived.
