BDNGHAMITES MET
TO TALK OF SITE
Townships Citizens Gathered
To Give Views to the
School Board
KEEN INTEREST is SHOWN

Keen interest in the school
needs of Bingham township
brought between Is and 100 cit
liens. to White Cross Monday
morning to advise the county
school board upon a site for the
new township school. The
choice lay between a tract of 8
and one half acres already owned
by the county and a tract half
a mile further east offered by
Lueco Lloyd.
During the proceedings F. j.
Eubanks offered to donate four
or five acres lying between the
county's land and the Chapel
Hill-Saxapahaw-Graham high
way. This would increase the
school site to about 13 acres and
give it a frontage on a main
road.
On behalf of the land offered
by Mr.. Lloyd, it is urged that
this being Immediately at White
Cross at the junction of main
roads, is more accessible. But
the advocates of the other site
say they do not like the school
to be placed so close to the east
ern boundary of the township.
This, they say, would be in dis
regard of the interests of the
majority of the townships pop
ulation.
Undoubtedly the majority OF
those who were present Monday
morning favored the site already
owned by the county. Among
those who spoke for it were Har-
mon McIver of the Bethlehem
church neighborhood, G. Ed.
Copeland, and C. H. Sykes.
1t looked for a minute as if
there were going to be spirited
dispute between the men hold
ing opposite views about the
sites, but Mr.. Browning, chair
man of the school board, turned
the discussion into more quiet
channels.
The main impression one got
from the gathering was that the
whole township was deeply in
terested in education and was
determined to have a modern
school. The money necessary
for the building, about $4,000,
is already assured from the
States school loan fund. Mr..
Browning had with him Mon
day his associates on the board,
Mr.. McDade and Mr.. Efland.
They said they would decide OH
the site at their next meeting,
April 7th.
Several Of the men at Mon
days gathering said that, al
though they felt themselves bur-
dened by taxes, they wanted
good schooling for their children
and grandchildren and, to get it,
were willing to be taxed still
further. "It's getting so it's
more profitable to sell your land
than it is to pay taxes on it, ,"
said Paul c. Lloyd, "but we need
schools and l am willing to sell
land if necessary to meet the
taxes"
E. w. Knight said that it was
an encouraging sign that SO
many men in the township turn
ed out to this meeting. 1t show
ed their real interest in the
schools. He said that the idea
was to lengthen the school term
to at least 8 months.
A fine dinner was served by
the women who came along with
their husbands and fathers.
The table was spread near a flag
pole flying the Stars and Stripes.

BELATED MODESTY.

The country has received a salts
factory thrill from the announcement
made by the American Federation of
Labor that it will keep out of politics,
will not support a Third Party and
will remain strictly nonpartisan.
These clever but somewhat mean
ingless declarations bobbed up re-
peatedly at the Ell Paso convention
and were given halo of sincerity in
the form of solemn resolutions that
the National Labor Council, that die
tates policies of American Fedora
ton, would be good and modest and
not undertake to run state or national
policies.
The public generally will take all
these protestations of humility with
a grain of salt, knowing it has been
the habit of these leaders to jump in
to the political arena at any time and
offer to take charge of state or nat
ional affairs.
The November election was such a
condemnation of bloc, class and spec
ial interest politics that belated
modesty of any class organization
seems too much like a compulsory
flare of virtue assumed for the time
being.

schools and the purposes for which
the money was expended, so that ac-
curate and correct record may be sent
to the Office of the Board of Educa-

year:
"At the close of the present school
year, we shall send a blank form TO
the principal of each school of the
county asking for a report to be sent
to this office concerning funds raised
by schools through box suppers, So
Gals, entertainments, private sub
scriptions and other forms of school
activities. The method used in secur-
ing these funds is to be described for
all such funds received. The report
will also call for information concern
ing for what PURPOSE these funds
were expended. These reports will
then be given publicity. So, each prin-
cipal is to keep carefully a detailed
record of all such funds that are rails
ed and the. PURPOSE for which they
were expended in order that an ac-
curate report may be made for pub
licity purposes to this office at the
close of the present school year of all
these financial activities"

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS
Suggestions Made to Teachers
by Superintendent Rathbun

Mr.. F. E. Rathbun, County Super
intendent of Schools, under date of
December II, has written letter to
all school teachers in the county upon
the following subjects:
1. The enclosure of forestry leaf
let from the University of Maryland,
State Department of Forestry, 1411
Fidelity Building, Baltimore, sugges-
ting ways and means for the preser-
walton of forests. The letter sets out
that the teachers should make the
point that the forests are being taken
care Of by the present generation
being taken care of for those who are
yet to come into manhood and wo-
manhood who are today in the public
elementary and high schools of the
county; the point is also made that
the streams and water supply depend
largely upon the protection of our
forests. For additional assistance in
HetNlHS pAOSA ans; SCS', " eAoNolSS
forest preservation, teachers are re-
ferred to Mr.. w. Clayton Jester, the
County Agent, Oakland; to Mr.. A. L.
Sines, Forest Warden, Sines, and to

letin No. l, entitled Material for the
celebration of Special Days." as sent
to all teachers.
2. The County Superintendent
calls attention to the fact that he has
had number of booklets entitled,
''The Romance of Rubber" sent to
each teacher through the courtesy of
the United States Rubber Company
1890 Broaway, New York City. Ways
and means are suggested for advanc-
ing by the use of these booklets the
educational equipment of the pupils.
8. The letter further points out the
usual method of payment of so cents
by each teacher in the county as an
nual dues to the Garrett County
Teachers Association, to Miss Cecilia
Hart, treasurer, Oakland, Md, upon
the suggestion of Mr.. E. S. Bur-
roughs, president of the Association.

bulletins will be issued for the atten-

ISSUES PRESENTED TO
PEOPLE.

A student of public affairs and a
lawyer of national reputation who has
the backing of long experience on
which to base his opinion and judg-
ment, says:
my observation leeas me to be-
lieve that on the whole it was a good
thing for the country that Senator
La Toilette was candidate for Pres
ident on the platform which he die
tated. His proposal for the govern
ment to buy or condemn the railroads
and operate them and his proposal to
do away with the power Of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court to declare
an act of Congress unconstitutional
have really been considered by the
people as they never would have been
without the issues being Joined and it
seems to me that the issues have been
settled and settled right. If such be
the fact, is not the country rather in
debted to Senator La Toilette than
endangered by his radical proposals"
There is truth in this statement.
People never prize their possessions
until some movement is started to
deprive them of the same.
Let the people be informed upon
basic principles of business and gov
eminent and they will apply the rule
to local questions and state and
national issues when they arise.

ed at Dinner.

Mr.. E. s. Evans, of Terra Alta,

ployes Monday evening at the Man
haitian Hotel in Oakland. Covers were

five-course dinner was served.
At the conclusion of the dinner, Mr..
C. A. Miller, cashier of the Terra
Alta Bank, acting as POSTMASTER,
called on number for speeches, the
first being the host, Mr.. Evans, who
took occasion during his talk to call
each employee to his feet and intro
duee him to all the other guests.
In addition to Mr.. Evans short
speeches were made by Mr.. Charles
Johnson, of Oakland; w. S. Guthrie,
of Terra Alta, and NJ. L. Keller, of
Kingwood. Following the speeches,
Mr.. Miller, on behalf of the employees
presented Mr.. Evans with a hand
some gold watch and chain. Mr..
Evans, in response spoke very highly
of the faithfulness of the men in his
employ and declared he felt certain
that the bond between employer and
employee would be greatly strength
ened by the occasion.

PLAIN TALK ABOUT TAXES

The Evening Journal of Lewiston,
Maine, says: America is staggering
under increasing tax burdens. We are
told that the tax in certain Maine
towns levied against farm property is
as high as seven per cent on the val
uation. And the valuation, although
low as to sales, is not low as applied
to the general values of property in
the towns as they average.
"Paul Shoup, talking in California
to the California Bankers Associa-
ton, depicts the conditions in that
State and they are not dissimilar to
those in other states. Mr.. Shoup
says:
"'In 1923, the taxpayers in Cali
fornia paid over S500,000,000 in taxes,
three times as much as in 1912. The
cost of country government in Cali
fornia has increased fourteenfold in
81 years. The debts outstanding
against county governments in Cali
fornia were about S3,5dO,OOO twenty
one year ago. Now they are over
s170,000,000, or so times greater.
Population has increased during the
same period from 1 ASS, 900 to 4,2OO,-
600, or about three times
Here in Maine, the issue is the
same as in California and in all other
states as to cost of government and
to funded debt and its accumulation.
Taxation has become plan by which
we can get the most feathers from
the goose with the least squawking
And yet everybody is asking for more
public service, more philanthropies,
more pensions, more bureaucratic
agencies for relieving the masses of
doing things themselves"
The public is the goose alright, but
about the time the tax-gatherers be-

dance of each school in the county,
stead of one for each month as has
prevailed in the past. Attention is
called to the proposed issuance of at
tendance bulletins by the State De-
partment of Education, concerning the
attendance of children in each of the
% counties of the State during each
school month of the year. These are
to be sent to teachers after the Christ
mas holidays.
5. The letter furthermore calls at
tention to the 144-page Bulletin as is
sued by the State Department of Ed
ucation entitled, Material for The
Celebration Of Special Days" This
bulletin embraces an abundance of
material for the observance of special
days during the year.
6. The letter likewise in the fol-
lowing paragraph calls attention very
forcibly to the requirement of the
State School Law in reference to vac
cination of school children:
Every child, before being admit
ted to any public school, shall pro-
duce a certificate from regular ply
sician that he has been properly vac
cinated." -Section &c, Chapter 337,
Acts of the General Assembly of
Maryland of 1872, page So of the 1922
edition of the Maryland Public School
| Laws.
7. With compliments of the Singer
Sewing Machine Agency, Cumberland,
set of 16 American Singer Bird
Series, beautifully colored pictures of
birds, was sent to each principal in
this county. These are pointed out on
the letter as very valuable material
for the instruction of pupils. For ad-
! ditional suggestions, teachers are re-
ferred to pages 102-114, both inclu-
sive, in Maryland school bulletin,
Material for The Celebration of
Special Days"
s. Principals were cautioned in the
letter not to send to the office of the
County Board of Education more than
one bill for the same items since they
lead to duplication Of records and of
labor.
9. Sufficient copies of the recent
issue of "School Thoughts, a paper
edited in the office of the county SUI
perintendent We're sent to each prin-
cipal for distribution to trustees and
officials of the Parent Teacher Asso-
Citations and other interested parties.
This issue of "School Thoughts" con-
tains two extended articles, one set
! ting forth the salaries of teachers of
the county, their certifcation, and the
other bearing upon the improved
teaching training from Statewide
point Of view as given out by the
State Department of Education.
10. The County Superintendent
calls attention of teachers to the fact
that bulletins and other forms OF
printed matter that are sent to the
teachers are to be left in the school
house; that bulletins and forms are
the property of the school.
IL. The letter calls attention of the
principals to the following paragraph
