TELEPHONE MEN
USE SHARK CAGE
Many Kinds OF Animals Contended
With In Making Repairs.

"a"J MINUS VI Animals NOnLehoed
With In Making Repairs.
Il one specimen each of all the va
rious kinds Of animals which interfere
with telephone service or hamper tela-
phone repair men in their work were
brought together into a single eXhibi-
ton, the result would be one to make
any presiding genius of a zoo green
with envy.
There are bears which, mistaking
the humming Of wires for the content,
ed song Of a hive Of bees, climb the
pole to rob the imaginary insects Of
their honey; they are squirrels that
clew holes in the lead sheath Of
cables, for no reason in particular;
there are ants and beetles equally
'metalivorous," and there are spiders
which fling their webs across a pair
of open wires, causing a short circuit
when the guss&merlike strands be-
come saturated with dew.
Contend With Shark.
Also there are sharks, for it must
be remembered that the telephone line
is anDhibiOus. 1t operates quite as
well under water as it does when
strung on poles or run through con.
duits beneath city street-unless. Of
course, vessel drags its anchor and
damages the cable. in which case
there are any number Of difficulties
TO consider, including-if the cable
happens to be that which connects
Cuba with the United States-sharks.
One of the three cables of the
Havana Key West telephone cable
system was squeezed by an anchor
recently and put out of action by be-
ing grounded. Service continued, of
cOurse-that is the reason for the
three cables-but engineers of three
companies were Immediately set to
work locating the break and repairing
1t. Delicate electrical apparatus de-
tected the location Of the trouble. 1t
was found to be just beyond the
mouth of Havana harbor.
Difficult Matter
A piece Of damaged cable sixty feet
in length had to be cut out and a new
section to replace it brought by boat
from Key West. Picking up the ends
of the cable was difficult and hazard
GUS matter. Professional divers, ia
miliar with the habits Of sharks, do
not relish too close an association
with them at the depth at which it
was necessary to work in this case.
Finally a shark proof cage Of iron
was constructed and a Havana
diver succeeded In bringing up the
end OF the cable so that the work of
splicing could be undertaken Before
nighcfall service had been restored.
This cable is specially constructed
to afford protection against breaks,
and this was the first interruption of
service since the submarine line was
opened April, 1921

THE PEOPLE AND THEIR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
State President

The people Of Maryland are de-
prived Of a voice in the schools with
out parallel in any Other State in The
United States.
Maryland is the only State in the
Union in which not a single school
official is elected by the vote of the
people; the only State in the Union
in which the Governor appoints the
members Of the County Boards Of
Education. Of the forty-eight States
no other State in selecting its school
officials has deemed it advisable to de-
prive its citizens Of all participation
and all local control, as is done in
Maryland, yet these appointed boards
in no way answerable to the people,
have sole power to dictate taxes for
school purposes to the County Com
missioners, and these County Commits
sioners MUST levy and collect the
taxes assessed This is directly op-
posed to the first principle of Ameri-
can government and is taxation
without representation" and should
no longer be tolerated.
Fully fifty per cent of the taxes
levied in the counties of Maryland
are for public education, yet under
the present law the people who pay
the taxes have no voice whatever in
the matter.
We believe County Board of Edu-
cation composed of or 7 members
should be elected by and for each
county and charged with the General
management of all public schools and
this belief is in keeping with the
best educational thought and prac-
tice in the United States; is advo-
Gated by the National Bureau of Ed
ucation of Washington, D. c., and has
been endorsed unanimously by the
National Educational Association.
(See Bulletin, Bureau of Education
dated March 81, 1921, entitled "Coun-
ty Unit School Administration" also
resolution presented by DR.. George
A. Strayer, chairman, and signed by
a leading educator of each State of
the Union, and 10 city superinten-
dents Of schools and passed unani-
mously at Des Moines, Iowa, July,
1929
According to Ayers Rank of States
Internationally for 1918 (thelast avail
able) Maryland ranked 34th, and ac-
cording to Bulletin No. 20 PUBLISHED
by the Bureau of Education in 1922,
five State legislatures that ranked
way above Maryland passed laws to
elect County Boards of Education,
viz: Arizona, Uath, Ohio, Minnesota
and Oregon, ranking respectively 8, 7,
II. IS, and 10, while Maryland ranked
34th.
Maryland spends per capita as much
public money for educational purpos-
es, doubtless, as any State in the
Union, and has been doing so for gen
eratiOns, but because of its methods

THE STATE CAMP OF MARYLAND

THE STATE CAMP OF MARYLAND
Patriotic Order Sons of America.
Baltimore, Md, Nov. s, 1928.
Editor, The Republican,
Oakland, Maryland.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
Recently a good deal has been said
about the public schools of Maryland
but because our order is absolutely
non-partisan and non-sectarian, we
have kept quiet during the campaign
Just closed, but now that the cam
paign is over and we cannot be ac-
cused of partisan bias, we are releas-
ing to the press an article, the facts
of which are irrefutable and which
we hope you will find space to publish
in your paper, with such editorial
comment as you feel inclined to make
upon it.
Regardless of what party you es-
pouse, you must realize the fact that
our stand for local county self gov
eminent in the public school admins
tration is sound and fair to all con-
cerned. Surely the people directly
interested and who pay the bills are
more concerned than are any politi-
clans, no matter what party they may
serve.
Permit us to say that the Patriotic
Order Sons Of America stands whole
heartedly for the public schools; that
this matter is not a snap judgment Of
the recent campaign discussion, that
the matter has twice in State Conven-
ton been fully discussed and unani-
mously approved.
We believe the Governor should re-
tain the right to appoint the members
of the State Board of Education, but
that in ecah county, as a unit, the
people should be given the right to
elect by vote Of the people of the
county the members Of the County
Boards Of Education, and that such
boards should consist of from five to
seven members. elected at large in
the county, and who should have full
charge Of matters pertaining to pub
lie education in the several counties.
You, yourself, Mr. Editor, must re-
alize that this is q fair proposition,
and one that chould have the support
OF all who are interested in the pub
lie schools Of the State.

does not get the best results.
An article in the Baltimore News Of
Nov. 3, 1928, alleges that Maryland
has appropriated for several years
upwards of S2,5OO,OOO for education in
substituting colleges that cost the State
S., 900 per year for each student so
assisted. This is too high a cost for
the benefit received. This procedure
should cease at once and the money
thus expended should be appropriated
exclusively for the benefit of the pub
lie schools that all the people instead
of the favored few be benefited, and
if the money were put into the public
schools and were properly managed
Maryland should soon take first rank
educationally, but Maryland will never
do so while the present regime con-
tinues. Why, after all, should the
masses be asked to educate the favor
ed classes?' If these so favored have
it in them and have a good high school
education given to them they will get
the college or professional education
| if worthy, and if unworthy they should
not receive it. Furthermore, any col
lege that cannot exist without State
subsidy scarcely deserves to exist at
all
The biggest job before the incom-
ing Legislature is this matter of pub
lie education, and one of the things
the legislature should do to pass a
law enabling the counties to elect
their Boards of Education.
