DIED.
CHARLES F. DAWSON.

Charles F. Dawson died at his res
idence on Oak street. Oakland, last
Saturday afternoon at five o'clock,
following an illness of ten days of
heart attack. While Mr.. Dawson's
condition was considered critical by
his family and physician from the
time he was stricken, he stated a few
minutes prior to his death that he
was feeling much better than he had
for several days previous. His death,
therefore, was as unexpected as it was
sudden. Mr.. Dawson was born at the
town of Frostburg in 1856 and was
married in Oakland in 1878, since
which time he has lived almost con-
t;nuously in Oakland and Mountain
Lake Park where he was engaged un-
til few years ago as a painter and
decorator. Mr.. Dawson is survived by
his wife and by ten children: Mrs.
William Landon. Mt. Lake Park; Mrs.
Walter Goodwin, Grafton; Mrs. P. Y.
Lohr, Oakland; Mrs. Carl Willett,
ClarksbWg, W. Va; Charles L. Daw-
son, Chicago. H.; George z. Dawson,
Sebring, Florida; Mrs. Robert White,
Uniontown, Pa; Walter w. and Har-
old N. Dawson, Oakland, and Clyde F.
Dawson, Huntington, West Va. All
the sons and daughters were present
at the funeral held on Monday from
the home, except George H., who was
unable to reach here. The pallbearers
We're the sons of the deceased. Mr.
Dawson was a member of the Meth
odist Episcopal church; he being also
an Odd Fellow and Knight of Pythias.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. DR.. Archibald Moore, pastor
Of the local church and interment was
made in the local cemetery.

SEIZED FOUR STILLS And
63 GALLONS OF LIQUOR
Outfit Found in Vacant House at
Finzel Last Friday By En-
fOrcement Officer Harvey

-Four well equipped stills, found in
vacant house said to be located on
the farm Of Earl Cation, near Finzel,
Garrett county, were seized last Fri
day by Prohibition Officer William R.
Harvey, Of Cumberland. Three of the
seized stills were in active operation
when found by the officer.
According to Officer Harvey he had
information that whiskey was being
made in vacant house near Finzel.
He went there Friday without know
ing just where the house in question
was located. When he approached the
place to get his bearings two men and
q woman. who carried a baby, ran out
Of the back door of the house. The
men escaped into the woods, while the
woman, handicapped by the baby in
her arms, was apprehended, but was
not held. She declared to the officer
that she was in the house only to
watch the men making the liquor.
Two 3O-gallon and one 5O-gallon
stills were found in the house, all in
operation. A 20-gallon still was also
found but it was not operating. In
addition to the stills, Harvey also
seized fifty-two gallons of moonshine
liquor and eleven barrels of mash.
With the exception Of three cooking
stoves used to heat the stills there
was no furniture in the house.
The same men alleged to be own
ers Of the outfit seized Friday were
also said to be the owners of a moon
shine plant confscated by Harvey in
vacant house near Finzel last year.
At another farm near Finzel, Har-
vey found and destroyed eleven gal
Ions Of moonshine whiskey on Friday.
No arrests were made.

As its title, "The Declaration of
Geneva indicates, the little book
contains a copy of the declaration of
the rights of each child to health, hap
p.n5ss and opportunity, as formulated
for the children of all nations, by the
leaders of the international organiza-
tons interested in the care of the
children. After having been duly ap-
proved by these associations the dec
laration was submitted to the Assem-
bly, Of the League of Nations, at the
session Of 1924. By unanimous reso-
luton the children's charter was ap-
proved and its adoption was recon-
mended to all Of the countries of the
League.
East and West, North and South,
meet on the pages of the little vol
ume. The declaration appears first
in the French of the original docu-
ment and then in English and other
languages Of Europe and Asia, of the
Near and the Far East, of North and
South America.
The English translation may be
summed up in one of the slogans
adopted for health day during the
coming celebration of American Ed
ucation Week-"A Square Deal For
Every Child The translation in full
follows:
by the present Declaration of the
Rights of the Child, commonly known
as the Declaration of Geneva men
and women Of all nations, recognizing
that Mankind owes to the Child the
best that it has to give, declare and
accept it as their duty that, beyond
and above all considerations of race
or creed:
/. THE CHILD must be given the
means requisite for its normal devel-
opment, both materially and spiritu-
ally;
2. THE CHILD that is hungry
must be fed; the child that is sick
must be nursed; the child that is
backward must be helped; the delin-
quent child must be reclaimed; and
the orphan and the waif must be shell
tered and succored;
3. THE CHILD must be the first
to receive relief at times of distress;
4. THE CHILD must be put in
position to earn a livelihood and must
be protected against every form of
exploitation;
5. THE CHILD must be brought
up in the consciousness that its tai
ents must be devoted to the service of
its fellowmen."

A DANGER SIGNAL TO AM
ERICAN CIVILIZATION

Schools in certain rural sections of
our country are, in many respects, a
generation behind those in the cities.
This is a danger signal to American
civilization. for a chain is no stronger
than its weakest link.
These are some of the conditions
in the rural schools:
The average length Of the school
term is two months shorter than in
the city.
School expenditures for the city
child exceed those for the rural child.
Computations from statistics from
the United States Bureau of Educa.
ton show that in 1922 the average per
pupil cost Of education for children in
cities of 10000 or more was S93.73,
and that for all other places was
$500. About the same difference is
shown in comparing the per pupil cost
Of country schools with those of small
towns of less than $500 population, in
which less than half Of the enrolment
comes from farm homes, according to
data received from 500 county super
intendents of schools representing
all sections of the United States.
These data show that in 1924 the per
pupil cost of country schools was
S68.39 and that for schools in small
towns as indicated above was S1O064.
In education, experience, and ten
ure teachers in the rural schools do
not rank as high as those in the cities.
Country teachers must work out
their problems unaided, for the only
supervision afforded in many places is
the one or two yearly visits of coun-
ty superintendents. City teachers can
have help and advice daily from su-
peryisors and principals.
Many country children have to leave
home in order to have high school ad-
vantages. City school systems include
high school grades.
Poor rural schools are partially to
blame for the fact that the per cent
of illiteracy in the rural sections is
~ as compared with "A in the cities;
that farm tenantry is on the increase;
that many of the best families move
to the cities in order to educate their
children, thus draining the country of
many young people capable of leader
ship; and that the leaders Of agricul-
tural organizations, seeking to rem
edy conditions through legislation
are frequently those who have not had
practical farm experience.
The situation can be remedied to
great extent by insuring rural chill
dren school advantages equal to those
afforded urban children. One step
necessary to bring this about is to
provide a local school unit sufficiently
large for efficiency in school adminis-
tration. Such a unit makes possible
consolidation of small schools. An
other is to provide a system of school
support including a plan which equal
;zes educational opportunities for all
children within the State and at the
same time provides an equitable dis
tributiQn Of tax burdens. Rural cdu-
cationiSts are generally agreed that
still another is to select professional
school men for State and county
school demonstrators.

BETTER THE TEACHER,
BETTER THE SCHOOL.

One Of our slogans for teacher and
school day is ''Thc better the teacher
the better the school 1t is often said
that the teacher is the school. City
schools on the average have better
teachers than the country schools can
afford. Longer terms and better pay
make worth while the teachers posi-
ton in the city.
The average salary of teachers in
the one-teacher schools of the country
in 1924 was S735. while elementary
teachers in cities of $500 to 5000
Population received the average sal
ary of Sl,129; in cities of 5000 to
10000 the salary was S1,231; in cities
Of 10000 to 10000 it was S1,354; in
cities of 10000 to 100000 it was
S1,52S; and in cities of 100000 or
more the average salary of elemen-
tary teachers was S1,96S.
Some of the difference between city
and rural salaries is due to the differ
ance in cost Of living, but not all The
city teachers are receiving pay for 4
longer school year-an average Of
two months longer. But city school
authorities demand higher qualifca-
tons. The teachers come forward with
better training and in turn demand
adequate salaries.
Would better training insure better
salaries for the country teacher, or
would better salaries encourage high
er professional training?
When the States provide sufficient
funds for nine-month schools and ade-
quate pay for competent teachers then
trained teachers VII report for duty.

THE RED CROSS ROLL CALL.

There is probably no roll call" no
appeal that meets with SO ready Il re-
sponse as the yearly call to the ranks
of Red Cross membership.
Most persons are willing and ready
to pay their dues each November and
don the little button showing they
have done their 'bit," not only in their
immediate vicinity but as a help in
first aid throughout the country.
Many persons, Of course, give
great deal more than just their mem
bership dues. There are many whose
purse-Strings, even as their hearts,
are always open to the need Of suffer
ing humanity but if each of us will
pay the Red Cross membership fee OF
one dollar, the result will be startling
and most happily effective when ap-
Piled to relief funds where money is
so badly needed.
Even as the appeal is international,
SO is the response international in its
character Everywhere organizations
are being formed in first aid work,
life saving and bvgieuic classes and
all kinds Of relief and emergency work
is fea+,,rod IN order that we NAV be

An indoor aerial about twenty feet
