PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSO-
CITATION MEETING HELD
There Were Fifteen Members In
Attendance and Much In
terest Manifested

The first fall meeting of the Oak
land Parent-Teachers' Association
was held in the Grammar School on
Wednesday evening, August goth, and
while the attendance was not as large
as anticipated, or should have been,
yet there were about fifty present and
much interest manifested.
In the past the teachers and exec
utive officers of the association seem
to have been the only ones to supply
the interest, but judging from the
way matters Started off at this meet
ing this is not going to be the case
this year, but all are going to take
an active part and make the Oakland
Association one of the largest and
best in the State.
Due to the absence Of both the
President and the Vice-President, the
meeting was called to order by Miss
Stewart, grade supervisor. The res
ignation of Mrs. N. l. Broadwater, as
president, was read and accepted and
Mr.. Ernest Ray Jones was elected in
Mrs. Broadwater's place. Mr.. Jones
then took charge of the meeting and
the usual routine of business was TAX
en- up and carried through.
To help out with the finances for
the purpose Of improving the school
play grounds a committee was APP
pointed to arrange for tag day on
Labor Day. It was also decided to
secure space at the Garrett County
Fair and place a candy or some other
kind Of booth thereon.
Mr.. William c. Jester, County
Agent, gave an interesting talk on
"The Farmers View of Consolida-
ton of Schools"
Mrs. Frank Blake, of Oakland, and
Mrs. Hellwig, Of Baltimore, sang a
duet "Juanita," and Mrs. Hellwig
rendered several instrumental selec-
tons.
Prior to the next meeting the pres
ident will appoint the following COM
mittees: Special Offerings, public
ity, membership, and program. The
chairmen Of these committees, to-
gether with the president, will con-
stitute the executive committee.
The date of the next meeting will
be announced later and the associa,
ton is not only going to promise but
is going to do a great many things
which will be Of benefit to our schools
In addition to this the meetings are
going to be interesting and we agar
extend the invitation to all parents
to become members.

EVERYBODY VOTE.

Some magazine like Golfers and
The Homiletic Review and some or
CARNATIONS, are making an earnest
effort to stimulate interest in the ex-
ercise of the suffrage.
According to some careful observ-
ers there is a gradual lessening of
the sense of civic responsibility that
augurs i'll for the republic.
Golfers states editorially:
"In each national election since
1896 the proportion of voters has
dwindled. In 1896, so per cent of
those qualified to vote did vote; in
1900, 73 per cent; in 1908, 66 per
cent; in 1912, 81 per cent; in 1920,
less than so per cent. Four years
ago 54,421, 1872 Americans could have
voted, but only 26,7S6,75 did so.
"Such is the descending curve of
American democracy. Inscriptions
politicians get where they want by
herding their masses of unthinking
fOISIS ~ liIe DOlIS. 1911 II IlllS HUI
thinking voters were heard from?
Instead Of being a parlor patriot,
a rocking-chair Paul Revere, let each
American prove his right to citizen
ship"
The following pledge which each
citizen makes to himself and fulflls
as a matter of personal honor and
self-respect is suggested:
l pledge myself to vote at the
coming election. But l can't vote if
/ don't register. Therefore, l pledge
myself to register and to make that
registration good with my vote.
There is no doubt that the we'll
being of the nation is dependent
wholly upon enlightened, conscien-
tious citizenship, and the recognition
of the duty of registration and voting
is the first step in good citizenship

YOUNG MEN OF BAYARD
PROVIDE ATHLETIC FIELD
Citizens Back Them Up in Move
To Have Permanent Place
For Outdoor Sports

The young men of Bayard, w. Va,
having secured the use of a piece of
idle ground just below the Western
Maryland railroad station set about
to develop it into a tennis court and
basketball field. How we'll these
young men have succeeded in realiz-
ing their dreams for place wherein
they can participate in clean, healthy
sport in the out doors is attested by
the many pleasant comments of pas
sengers going back and forward on
the Western Maryland Railroad and
the congratulations showered on
them by the good citizens Of Bayard.
These citizens have watched with in
terest the work of these young men
in turning this piece of idle ground
into something worth while and pro-
viding a place where real American
sports may be INDUCED in. The
grounds have been cleared of tree
trunks and large pieces of rock, roll
ed over presenting nice smooth top
for playing tennis.
The tennis court is completely
wired in, presenting a nice appear
ance The young men next gave their
attention to the basketball field by
first trueing and leveling up the
ground. At each end of the field are
two large poles set in concrete bases
with the necessary framework to
hold the baskets for playing basket
ball. 1t is said there is nothing like
this athletic field anywhere along
the Western Maryland or Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad lines in West Vir-
ginia. Interesting games of tennis
have been participated in during the
day and evenings for the past two
weeks. The basketball field is now
completed and practice games of
basketball have been INDUCED during
the past week. This field makes a
splendid addition to Bayard and COM
pels its citizens to feel justly proud
of its young men who allowed no OBJ
stacles to interfere with their ambi-
ton to indulge in clean, healthy
sports as a pastime during the even
ings.
The practice games that have been
the vogue during the past week have
drawn large numbers of Bayards
citizens who are greatly interested
and desire to see this enterprise sue
ceed For such additions of this kind
are a great source of delight to any
community and always tend to i'm
prove the morals Of any town or COM
munity. Steps have been taken by
those young men to form themselves
into club having as its name the
Potomac Athletic Club and enrolling
as members as many citizens of
Bayard who are interested in this
fine health and moral improving ad-
dition to their town. Many Of its
leading citizens have signifed their
intention of enrolling as members in
order to encourage the young men in
their efforts to materialize a mea-
sure of success in Athletic pastimes.
Officers will be elected at their next
meeting.

five is eligible to send a delegate to
the State convention in October. The
object of this club is to get together

from time to time we hope every

GABRlELA MISTRAL
Ii HONORED AT FETE
Diplomatic Corps Represented at
Reception in Pan-American T
: Building.
INTRODUCED BY MATHIEU
Consolidation of Friendship Ties
Urged in Addresses Delivered.

Binding firmer the ties of friend
ship between the nations of North
and South America through the rec
ognition of the ideals and secrifices
of the various nations was the pre-
dominant theme touched upon by the
various speakers at reception in
honor of Gabriela Mistral, the famous
Chilean educator and poetess, at the
Pan-American building last night.
The affair avs attended by several
hundred people and many members
of the diplomatic corps.
The poetress, whose real name is
Lucia Godoy, was introduced by Bel
tran, Matthew, ambassador of Chile,
who. with Nine. Matthew, gave the
reception. The ambassador stressed
in his address that her educational
work is going beyond the boundaries
of her own country" he declared that
1t had been extended to Mexico and
was gaining the applause of other
countries.
DIR. Rowe Omciated.
DIR. L. S. Rowe, director of the Pan
American Union, welcomed the guest
and declared I'VE have all marveled
at the untiring activities of Gabriela
Mistral not only because of her out
standing contributions to literature,
but because of her earnest and un-
fare and progress of her people. The
beauty of her verse and the inspira-
tion of her prose can only be matched
by the splendid effort which she has
made for the welfare of the children
of her country"
In her reply Gabriela Mistral said
in part
The friendship of different peoples
sought by the Pan-American Union
would be easily attained If we were
all imbued, to the furthest depths of
consciousness, with the concept of
diSsimilarity without inferiority.
Union will be possible if those of the
north. penetrating the unpleasing eX-
terror to the fundamental nobility
beneath, perceive that, like a clear
running stream, a deep, though con-
fused, aspiration for justice flows
through all our sufferings, through
the painful economic conditions af-
fiicting our Chile, a country heroical-
ly poor, rich only in honor; through
the long Mexican revolution, holy in
it's aspirations, and through the lack
Of accord in Central America. s,
Mrs. Coleman Responds.
Mrs. H. A Coleman, president of
the National League of American
Pen Women, of which organization
the poetess is a member, declared:
Proud, indeed, are we to greet a
sister American, a native of our own
continent, an American pen woman,
who has dedicated her life and her
talents to the uplift of humanity
through it's most powerful and re-
ceptive agency-that of it's children"

WORKERS BUDDY
BARES DISCOVERY

When Whiting Williams, five
years ago, was vice president OF
steel company in Cleveland he
did something which hundreds
of other managers have always
wanted to do. He said good-by
to his desk, to his friends and his
family, put on a suit OF old
clothes, and disappeared for
months.
Then he turned up in New York City
with one OF the most extraordinary
diaries ever written. He had not been
loafng or tramping. He had been
working as a common laborer in rail-
road yards, steel mills and coal mines.
His capital, when he began this anaz
ing adventure, was SIS. He lived on his
earnings, slept on park benches when
out of a job, and gained first hand in
sight into the workers life.
Whiting Williams meant to go back
to his desk in Cleveland and resume the.
life of a white collar man. But he
has not gone back Magazine editors
and book publishers have kept him busy
writing; far-sighted presidents of great
railroads and industries have enlisted
his services as adviser.
A few days ago he wrote letter
to P. F. Collier & Son Company which
reveals hidden source of his unique
power. He says:
