It's system is that of direct personal
teaching, and the study is intensive,
all effort being centered entirely up
on the subjects in which the child
has failed, or developed signs of
backwardness. In every case this
personal attention has met with a
prompt response, showing that all
that was needed was the personal ele-
ment and care. III
BY this means, the High schools of
the county will be kept from an an
nual loss in attendance Of at least ten
per cent due to failure and dis
enlargement.
BY these two innovations, Mr.. Ben
nett has succeeded in placing the
schools of his county in the forefront
of educational development, produc-
ing new interest in the school life
Of the children Of the county, and Civ
ing them a higher incentive to better
and more advanced work. It is to be
hoped that the pace which he is set
ting will soon be followed by all the
counties on the Eastern Shore; fol
with higher development in educa-
ton will come a higher spiritual a.
chievement, deeper moral sense
and larger perspective of life itself

In these circumstances the move

All this, of course, is to the tempo

Budget Bureau Hearings:

The community realizes the impor-
tance Of the task In which the Com
missioners and school officials are en-
gagged in the hearings before the
budget bureau. The task is not, how
ever, one in respect to which these
officials must feel in advance the dis.
couragement Of certain defeat. The
only doubt should be as to the degree
OF their success.
For the declared purpose Of the
tentative figure of budget allotment to
the District is not to fix arbitrarily and
unchangeably an amount which may
not in view of the relation of national
revenue to national needs be substan-
TALLY exceeded. On the contrary, it is
an amount which by budget bureau
investigation Is thought roughly to
approximate as q minimum these Dis
trict needs, and the purpose in naming
this amount is not to set up an i'm
movable obstacle to District progress,
but to compel disclosure by the Dis
trict of its really vital needs and Of
the relative Importance and urgency
OF these needs in order that expendi-
ture of the Districts money may &C.
complish a maximum of wholesome
result. The tentative allotment is
pictured by the bureau not as q pro
hibition, but as test.
The Commissioners are thus re-
lieved from the encouragement which
weakens those who feel that they at
tempt the impossible, since they are
assured that if they demonstrate vital
urgent needs either Of municipal main
tenance or development they will gain
for the Capital the necessary enlarge
ment of the estimates.
Since the budget bureau intends to
do justice and since justice demands
substantial advances in the provision
for such municipal needs as those of
schools, streets, sewers, police and fire
forces, public library, Fairgrounds,
ETC.. ETC., the Districts representatives
may well fight with vigor and con-
fidence. The community will follow
their struggle to promote the National
Capitals welfare with interest and
concern.

Saving the Presidents Strength

G. Bascom Slemp, secretary to
President Coolidge, in his capacity of
buffer between the President and the
public, is finding his new plan of con-
serving the Presidents time and
strength working successfully. He
limits the time given to the reception
Of official and unofficial callers to two
and one-half hours of the forenoon,
thus leaving the remainder Of the
working day uncrowded, so that the
Chief Executive may dispose of Off
ctal business more leisurely.
1t is a wise policy, as is any plan
which tends to take the strain off the
executive officer OF the greatest going
concern in the world, the government
Of the United States. 1t has frequent
~ been said that the presidency is al
most too great a Job for one man to
I'LL, and President Harding was quoted
as finding considerable truth in that
statement.
Since President Harding's death the
public has been deeply interested in
discussion of this subject, although
there has been no indication Of a let
up in pressure from individuals for
interviews with the President until
Secretary Slemp began to put up the
bars. Secretary Slemps plan is un-
derstood not to contemplate isolation
Of the President from the public, but
Encouragement Of unnecessary callers
and more judicious grouping Of the

still other means to keep the head of

she had never obtained any divorce.
She was. therefore, convicted OF
bigamy by her peers and, in conee-
Quence thereof, was divested of the

her to the status of the Countess or

The penalty for bigamy in those
days was death. But as Countess or
Bristol the fascinating Elizabeth was
able to plead the privilege of peer
age, and escaped all punishment be-
yond the payment of the fees of the
trial and certain fines. This she was
well able to afford. For while her
conviction of bigamy cost her her
