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 a letter to
all school teachers in the county upon
the following subjects:
l. 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
having programs, ETC., to advance
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
pages 87-102 in Maryland School Bull
letin No. l, entitled material for the
celebration of Special Days." as sent
to all teachers.

calls attention to the fact that he has

LOOKING FORWARD TO A
GOOD NEW YEAR.

The year 1925 is beginning under
auspices which are very favorable so
far as the United States is concern
ed. A year ago we were on the verge
of a bitter political campaign and
the country was torn by charges of
corruption in public office, inspired by
campaign eXigencies, which had
delecterious effect on the nations
business.
Now that the campaign is over, the
scandal mongers have been repu-
dated and the business interests OF
the nation are adjusting themselves
to the reassuring fact that there are
ahead of them two years of construc-
tive legislation and sound economic
policy.
Business in all lines is making
gradual recovery from the depression
of last spring when the political
bombardment was at its worst. From
every hand comes the report that
conditions are getting back to normal
and that usual production is being
resumed in all branches of industry.
The situation in the agricultural
portions of the country has shown
decided Improvement during the past
year. Prices advanced materially
during the summer and fall. In the
western wheat country thousands of
farmers were put in position to pay
up arrears and enjoy a surplus in
the bank. Only a partial failure of
the corn crop in certain states pre-
vented an almost complete recovery.
That the farmers OF the country
see better times ahead is indicated
by the fact that the wheat acreage
for 1925 is showing an increase in
stead of decrease as was the case
a year ago. 1t is regarded as fairly
certain that the price of corn will
stay up during the next season, and
a bumper crop of this important COM
modify will make 1925 a good year
for the farmers in the corn states.
All predictions are to the effect
that livestock prices will be even
better in 1925 than in 1924. In
short, the farmers of the country as
well as the manufacturers, have no
reason to look forward into the new
year with anything but pleasant an
ticipation. And when the factories
are running and the farmers are in
good condition, prosperity is always
general in the United States.
So far as the national administra-
ton is concerned the country rests
assured of the fact that the efforts to
reduce expenditures and federal taxes
will be continued, and that there will
be no rocking the boat so far as for
eign or domestic policies are con-
cerend.
1t is to be hoped that state and
local officials will follow the national
administration in program of
economy and lower taxes. If this is
done 1925 ought to stand out as a
banner year for America.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1924-12-26

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.
3. The letter further points out the
usual method of payment Of 80 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.
4. The letter also states that begin
ming after the Christmas holidays,
bulletins will be issued for the atten-
dance of each school in the county,
combining two months attendance in
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 certificate from regular ply
sician that he has been properly vac
cinated." Section Sc, 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"
8. 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.
8. Sufficient copies of the recent
issue of "School Thoughts, a paper
edited in the Office of the county su-
perintendent were sent to each prin-
cipal for distribution to trustees and
officials of the Parent-Teacher Asso-
Citations and other interested parties.

tains two extended articles, one set

ger a dim dawn of consciousness, but
the full light of a glorious day in
which He rejoiced. 1t came through
His absolute obedience to the will of
His Father, for He said: 81 do al
ways those things that please Him"
Miss Havergal put it, 81 have never
said No to God" To follow that rule
will lead any one to the heights of
life, radiant and conscious of itself
He faced among His countrymen a
belief in the appearing of a Messiah
who would deliver them from the try
ing situation in which they were and
out of the consciousness of God was
born the sense of responsibility for
leadership for all the world. Accept
ing the responsibility He stepped into
the place of authority certain of its
involving His own death since its
content ran counter to the will of the
Jews among whom He was. For Ju-
dea demanded a Messiah warning
against the world; Jesus was a Mes
siah winning that world. They con-
demned the idea and crucified its hol-
der. 1t is an idea that still provokes
a cross. White supremacy faces it
and either dies or rears a cross for
the idea. Materialism, nationalism,
radicalism, commerciahsm or any
other ism has only cross for such
Messiah. Yet He flung aside all the
silences commended thru the years OF
service, all the humilities of former
appeals to Jerusalem and stood forth
as the fulfiller of every promise of all
their hopes. He said, 81 am your Mes
siah. Behold in ME the King of the
ages and your promised Prince" And
the setting for this dofing of disguise
was amidst the thronging Passover
pilgrims who packed the city from all
the empire and would carry news as
far as they journeyed on their return.
He who condemns Jesus as an i'm
practical dreamer has never read the
Gospels, for no finer bit of advertis-
ing was ever staged by Barnum or by
Box than is exhibited here when for
the first time He set up the open
claim of Ruler for the acceptance of
Jerusalem.

LEADERSHIP THAT LOVED.

There was the sudden Eruption of
a new note as the joyous procession
lifted its voice higher than ever when
it swept about the corner of the
mountain wall an dthe city of their
desire lay full upon their vision. Into
the shouts cut the sobbing cry of a
strong mans tears. The city that
meant more to Jesus than any other
was blind enough to refuse His plea.
and so much lacked understanding
that it would hurry along its own
road to sure destruction. A picture
of its desolation and utter folly, it's
war-swept hills and blazing build
ings, brought this cry of love from
the lips of its Lord. And yet in face
of that certainty He still would press
forward with every warning He
might give, daring greatly because
He loved greatly, and claiming lead
ership because He so loved. His spIr-
it is the only hope of a redeemed
world and the strongest plea for our
acceptance of Him.

THE CLAIM OF PROPERTY.

Reaching Bethany on Friday, there
was the heart-warming reception at
the hands of His friends and the feast
of gratitude that stirred so many diff
fering responses from Mary's gift to
Judas's criticism. Sabbath peace set
tied across the scene and then with
its passing came the activities of the
planned entry into the city. On foot
was not the regal way and mount
must be provided. He went back to
the days of empire when David had a
royal mule and chose the same sort of
beast for His own use. He had no
possession but He had more, for
friends are surer than stores of gold.
And to one of these there went the
word Of request, "The Lord hasy
need" There was swift response and
as swift reply that as soon as the
work set should be accomplished the
property would be returned. Such is
always the action of Jesus. 1t is not
upon the right to command our pos
sessions, but upon the claims of a
friend that the use of them for the
kingdom is based. "Ye are my
friends" then certainly l can come to
you for Ny needs as surely as you
can count upon Me to respond in
your own day of distress. He who
takes My need upon himself surely
has the right to expect me to take
His need upon myself" Jesus in need!
How the heart leaps with sudden joy
in thinking that l may have the high
privilege of relieving Him in a bit of
His necessity for the saving of His
world. Was the colt canonized in the
early Church? Certainly it was Won
derful1y regarded and its price in
creased by the use of its Lord made
of it that day. And it is as true now
that the property loaned to Jesus is
returned worth more than when He
took its use into His planning. Only
it must not be the old, saddle-marked
beast that has spent its strength, but
the gift of the first use of it. His
claim is earlier than any other and
only as it is recognized can we expect
the blessing that came to this name
less owner of the colt upon which
Jesus sat.

go ahead with their excavations at
the mouth of the new outfall sewer
where workmen a few days ago un-
covered prehistoric human bones,
believed to be at least $4,000 years
old.
Four skeletons were uncovered
Monday. AS a cave-in of the walls
has handicapped the work of ,nves-

been discovered since that time.
The new excavations will be
made several feet deeper than where
the skeletons were found in the
hope of discovering weapons, i'm

determining in just what period the
aborigines lived.

Barraza Has More
Nerve Than
Money!

Jesus Barraza, Mexican, had
no money, but Jesus was devot-
ed, and. he declared his deter
mination to marry Rufina Felix,
l9 year old Mexican girl, whose
brother had taken her trcm
Mexicai to Imperial recently.
Barraza managed to get
enough money to bring him as
far as FL Centre yesterday IN
his efforts to reach his loved
one, but then he was forced 10
ask for help.
When he told his story to de-
putics at the district attorney :
office, Officer Applegate AMI
Deputy Sheriff Oswalt set out
for Imperial to find the girl.
They brought her back late
in the afternoon and when she
voiced her assent to a marriage
to Barraza, Judge ThompSon
was called.
But it was found that the lcve
sick swain did not have enough
money for the license. SYM
pathizing officials started 4 -!
lection among employees i'll he

necessary money. Judge Thomp-
son waived his fees for the time
being and with Dick Cohen act
ing as ihterpreter,' Jimmy Ap-
ulegate as best man and Under

maid" the ceremony was per-
formed.
The young couple, scarcely
able to realize just what had
happened, left supposedly for
Mexical. y short time later
Barrazza slipped back into the
office of Dick Cohen and told
the court interpreter that he
was still without funds to take
them out of FL Centre. Dick
loaned the groom two dollars for
travelling expenses on the honey
moon and he left again. No
further word from the newly
weds had been received here to-

were safely embarked on their
