to somebody else.
Hell tell you that he started
his career as a kid. That's moth.

heard Of = man being born when
he was twenty.one years old.
Some fellows make It q habit
Of boasting to everybody what a
success they are. The only time
they're a failure is when they're
talking to the tax collector.
A lot Of men imagine they're
at the top Of their profession,
when in reality they aren't ont

One guy claimed he was q self
made man, but judging by his in
telligence he must have been on

He built himself = home on

No man Is really self.made. His

STATE
CAPITAL
BRIGHT outlook For schools.

Growing interest in the progress Of
educational work throughout the State
by both children and parents was
given as reason for a brighter out
look in this field by Albert S. Cook,
State Superintendent of Education.
Mr. Cook spoke at meeting in the
office Of the State Department Of Edu-
cation. Forty-three supervisors at
tended the conference OF State school
heads.
The supervisory system has been in
effect in Charles county for one year,
and the educational achievements
there during that time were proofs Of
the merits OF the system, Mr.. Cook
told the educators The survey test
system also was held to be very en-
cient.
The fact that large amounts had
been appropriated by the State for
new highways, while until recently no
interest could be aroused in the needs
Of education In the counties, was men
toned by Mr. Cook.
Supervisors from the various coun-
ties expressed belief that the super
yisory system and the educational sur
vey tests provide a standard whereby
the mental growth Of the pupils can be
measured accurately.
