SUPERVISING TEACHER OF
GARRETT MADE ADDRESS
Before Rotary Club, FrOstburg,
Explaining Her Work Among
Public School Pupils

Miss May L. Stewart, supervising
teacher of Garrett county delivered an
address before the Frostburg Rotary
Club on Monday evening of last week,
her subject relating to the work be-
ing now done by supervising teachers
throughout the State of Maryland.
Miss Stewart is teaching at the Sum-
mer Normal in Frostburg. She is di-
rector of Practical Teaching in the
rural school.
Her address before the Rotary Club
was most Illuminating, on subject
concerning which there is little
knowledge except by those directly
engaged in the work. Supervisory
work among school teachers is a new
movement and being little understood
by the public, an address on this sub
ject before persons interested in pub
lie school affairs, naturally would be
of considerable interest.
Miss Stewart, who is an able speak
er, stated clearly the work being done
by supervising teachers and presented
several examples of the methods by
which their aims were accomplished.
She paid quite a tribute to Hill Street
School, Frostburg, stating during the
past year one of the supervising
teachers visiting that school found
reading lessons so well prepared and
capably handled by the teachers that
the method of Hill Street school along
this line was used as a model lesson
and broadcasted through bulletins to
other counties in the State of Mary
land.
Miss Stewart also expressed appre-
citation for the cooperation given su-
pervising teachers of other counties
by Prof. Webb and Miss Lillian Comp
ton, of Allegany county.
Among the many things CLEANED
from Miss Stewards address was the
fact that when a young man or wo-
man graduates from the Normal they
Nare the merest beginners as teachers.
.No matter how capable they might be
they will meet with conditions and en-
counter experiences that will prove
somewhat discouraging even to the
most stout hearted. In order to allie
viate these conditions and to help the
teacher as she endeavors to Garry
on, supervisory teachers are con-
stantly visiting the schools and lend
ing such assistance as they have gain
ed by training and experiences. Miss
Stewart, useing reading lessons as an
illustration, told the Rotary Club that
many teachers in charge of the lower
grades were often uninformed as to
the perfection in writing possible
among their young pupils.
In order to correct the viewpoints
of teachers on this subject she stated,
a sample of the best writing obtained
in various schools was collected and
sent to all teachers having charge of
this work as an object lesson as to
what is possible in writing lessons
among young children.
Miss Stewart spoke for one half an
hour and she had the rapt attention
of every person attending the lunch
con. She is a native of Michigan and
has just finished her second year in
Garrett county. She will return to
Garrett county next year.-Frostburg

Each boy had his daily assigned
duties in the water, wood, fire, sani-
tation, cook, tirst-aid squads, and be it
said every Scout did his full duty.
On the Fourta Of July the boys had
their burlesque circus, and it was
some circus and highly amused the 65
spectators who came to see the big
Farnum and Whaley's aggregation Of
wonders. We even had trained dogs
and the master Of the hounds was
none other than Julius Renninger.
Gilmor Hamill made a tirst-class ring
master and we predict a brilliant fu-
ture for him. James Willison was
official score keeper and he is hard to
beat
The Scouts would like to thank each
person individually for their contri-
buttons toward the material success
of the camp, Especially are they
grateful to the merchants who so lib
orally donated the use of their trucks
to haul them to and from camp and
those who gave the use Of their cars
to carry the boys.
The whole town is back of the
Troop and the boys feel that they
must do their utmost to measure up
to the confidence reposed in them.
While in camp they pulled off a
very creditable athletic field meet, the
Crow Patrol carrying off the highest
honors, with Mitchell Franklin their
illustrious patrol leader, winning the
silver medal for scoring the highest
number Of individual points of the
meet.
The gold medal for highest general
excellence during the camp period
was won by the Beaver Patrol, Julius
Renninger being their patrol leader.
These medals will be presented in
the presence of their parents and
friends at the scout meeting at 9:15
in the scout room on Friday evening.
The Scoutmaster who has conducted
boys camps in the Catskills, AdirOn
dacks, White and Green mountains
and in the Berkshire Hills, wishes to
pay tribute to the boys of this troop
and to say that he has never had
finer bunch of boys to camp with.
Without exception they were always
at their work, maintained perfect dis
cipline, always courteous and consid-
crate to one another and obedient to
their superiors. In the life and con-
duct of the boy is reflected the home
training and cooperation Of the par
ents which is a compliment in itself.
After all the strenuous labor of camp
ing upon so elaborate a scale we stitl
arrive at the same conclusion that at
is better to build up boy than to
patch up old men,"

SCOUT TROOP RETURNS
To Oakland After Being in Camp
On River Two Weeks.

The Oakland Troop of Boy Scouts,
with their Scoutmaster, the Rev. A.
j. Torrey, folded up their tents and
silently came back to town on last
Thursday after a wonderful camp of
two weeks at Sang Run. The camp
was signal success in every way
and every boy composing the troop
declared that it was the two happiest
weeks of their lives. Thanks to the
ample provision of the Scout mothers
and friends, they had everything
good to eat and plenty of it, as each
boy gained in weight from one to
seven pounds. A semi military rou-
tine was maintained conforming to
the best Scout camp standards. 1t
will be Of interest to the friends Of
the boys to know just what they did
each day, the schedule being as fol-
