THE scenes and the sounds of 9
= great city speak in a vernaculal
which is readily understood by him
whose eyes and ears are attuned to
the splendor and the din.
And what is true concerning the
seasoned citizen, is proportionately
true Of the verdant visitor who, at a
glance interprets the meaning Of the
smile Of sturdy beggar grinding q
hand-organ while his picturesquely
frocked companion rattles tambou.
rine, and passes 1t sOlicit0usly among
the gaping group of music lovers ia

The chimesAin the church steeples.
the tinkling bells of the itinerant ped
dler Of many wares, speak to all In q
familiar tongue. y
The Russian or the Greek who can
not frame a. word Of English knows
well the lingo Of the gathering milk
cans in the early morning and an
swers their call with alacrity.
Who is so untutored that he cannot
read the JOY of the sound Of the bab-
bling brooks, or the love in the song
Of the happy bird that is singing
among the green hills to his mate.
And the cumulus clouds with theiI
ever-changing forms, their happy
tints Of purple and gold and silver
60 sailing by in the evening sky tell
ing their tales Of magnifcence which
cannot be put in words, but which arc
easily comprehended by the lovers OF
the sublime and the worshipers OF
Him who changes in a second the col
ors Of the worlds.
The sigh and the songs Of the
winds!
Who does not delight in their whis-
perings among the forest trees and the
flowers, their moaning roars over the
waters of the deep, their lullabies in
the night when the earth is still, and
sleep, half dreaming, closes weary
eyes to refresh and give them new lus-
ter for a day unborn.
Their language is universal, under
stood by creeping things, by beasts
by men and the angels.
This is no dead classic whose mes.
sage is obscure.
Every word is liquid gem, requir-
ing no scholarship, no knowledge be.
yond that which nature bestows to
make its meaning comprehensive and
inspiring, like the master stroke of a
painters brush or the magic note Of a
nightingale alone with the listening
stars of a night, straining his little
throat in praising his Maker.

Peninsula News

Joseph Franklin McBee has entered
the. fifty-second year of his service al
teacher in the public schools. Al
the age of 70 years he is principal Of
the Sharpsburg School.
1t is said he is the oldest teacher ir
Maryland, with the longest continuous
record and that he has lost only II
school days.
Mr.. McBee says he hopes to con.
tinue teaching as long as he lives. He
has been principal at Salisbury, Del.
mar, Sharptown and Hancock as well
as at Sharpsburg. He also establish.
ed training class for teachers at Sal
isbury.
Discussing his experience as 9
teacher, Mr. .McBee said recently:
"The children Of today are moi
measuring up to what they should be-
Parents go to the movies or out fol
automobile rides, and the girls go out
"There is no study at home, and
parents are putting the entire educa-
tional process up to the teachers
They pay no attention to the reports
and probably so per cent of the faith
ers don't see them at all.
"k is hard to get the attention OF
girls. Their minds are on the movies
and other things"
Not everything done In modern-day
teaching meets with the approval Of
Mr.. McBee. He feels there is toe
much class work and not enough time
devoted to individual work. In these
days, he said, the personality Of the
teacher is lost. g. ~
With As new children in class
room rs grades could be formed, he
asserts.
"I don't want to retire from teach
ing," Mr.. McBee said. 81 feel more
like it today than ever, but if I did
yant to retire, I could not afford to. y

are sort of losing interest as the af-
fair has dragged along for such a
long time. 1t is conceded here that
the Mclean kilograms have done the
president no harm, but Mr.. Mclean,
the Washington and Cincinnati pub
Usher, has not helped himself in the
least. He is disagreeably involved
and the country does not like his re-
luctance to clear up lot of things
that has been going on by wire. He
can at least go on the stand and clear
up the mystery about the fruit crop,
by showing who is meant by Apples,
Peaches and Apricots in his tele-
grams.
Attorney General Daugherty, of
Ohio, is not going to do like Secre-
tary DENLY did. He is not going out
until he is put out, if he can help it.
So it looks like Washington is to have
a few more explosions and sensations
that may rock the country before the
week is over. There is no telling how
much big stuff will come out of the
Daugherty investigation but the
country might as we'll prepare for
sensations.
Many Ring Circus
Washington has been having a one
ring circus with the oil investigation
going; now it is to be enlarged to
two-ring with the attorney genera!
performing in the other ring; and il
may develop into a three-ring cir
Gus as a result of the Chicago grand
jury indictments of two members of
congress, which may bring on an
other investigation.
Every one is guessing nowadays as
to who is to be the new secretary of
the navy to succeed Mr.. DENLY, who
is out and gone to his home in De-
troit. Michigan people are now talk
ing about sending Mr.. DENLY to the
senate when they get an opportunity
as sort of vindication for him and to
show the loyalty at home for the
man. The new secretary Of the navy
has not yet been named but Wash
ington is expecting to hear the news
any day.
