grinds out thousands of newspapers a
minute. The work of a minute in the
twentieth century would have taken
Gutenberg a lifetime.
Daguerre, in 1889, gave the world
the secret of photography, but not I'M
til the twentieth century did man turn
this invention to a common language
of pictures that today blooms on every
main street in the world movies. And
it took the twentieth century to learn
how to send pictures across the land
on the wings of lightning, the tele-
phone.
War, with its terrible instruments,
stands as the blot on the first twenty
five years of the century when man
turned his inventions to destruction.
He changed the tractor into tank,
devised machines that poured bullets
in swift stream, invented gas and
all its deadly implements and protec-
tive devices, built flame projectors
that could scar regiment to cinders,
and Big Berthas that from distance
of rs miles tore buildings and men to
pieces.
Time flies and the things of the
twentieth century already seem old.
But none who lived twenty-five years
ago knew what a pulmotor was, or
submarine, or a war tank, tractor,
an electron tube, hydroplane, ma
chine gun, a Liberty motor, radio-tel-
ephony or an airplane.
The world smirked at men who sat
tinkering with strange new toys back
in 1900.
But the world has quit laughing at
the inventor, and that has been one
of the first quarter of the century's
dearest lessons-that invention is our
meat and drink and the inventor is
the hero of this complicated age.

cred held first grade certificates will
find the following figures interesting.
The counties are arranged in the or
der of the per cent of teachers hold
ing first grade certificates in 1925.
In Queen Anne's county every
teacher now in service is normal
school graduate or has had the equi-
valent in training. Baltimore and
Allegany counties are very close to
the goal reached by Queen Anne's.
At the other end of the scale, in Char
les and st. Mary's counties, only one
third of the present teaching staff in
white elementary schools have had
normal school course of two years.
However, the proportion of teachers
holding first grade certificates in
these last named counties was twice
as great in 1925 as in 1921. For these
counties this is remarkable improve
ment and was made financially posi-
BILE by the equalization fund.
1t is possible to predict that, if the
present program is carried forward,
by 1928 Maryland counties will have
reached the goal of trained teacher
in every classroom.
AS a factor in the advance of the
Maryland educational program, the
report says:
"The Maryland school law, which is
considered second to none in the coun-
try, contains many provisions which
aim to bring about Improvements in
the training of the teaching corps.
"Such things as the minimum State
salary schedule, the bonus for teach
ers in charge of rural schools, high
school aid, the equalization fund, the
requirement of summer-school atten-
dance by teachers at least once in
every four years, supervision in every
county, and State aid toward the pay
ment of salaries are required solely
in order to insure better teaching for
Maryland children.
"The normal schools have been
graduating larger numbers each year.
Through the State aid received from
the equalization fund, the financially
poorer counties have had sufficient
funds to employ increasing numbers
of these normal school graduates
whenever vacancies have occurred in
their stats.
Whenever a teacher holding a GER
tificate lower than a first grade has
been replaced by a normal-school
graduate, the salary cost has been in
creased by from 5000 to $3.50. Some
of the counties have not been able to
make more rapid strides because of
the former lack of high school facili-
ties and the consequent dearth of stu
dents from these counties attending
the normal schools.
Teachers holding the lower grades
of certificates have been improving
their qualifications through work I'M
der the county supervisors, attend
ance at summer school and extension
courses.
every county shows steady i'm
provement in the professional prepa-
ration of its teaching staff. Parents
now may feel that their children are
entrusted to the care of teachers who
are able to participate intelligently
and sanely in the physical, mental
and social development of the child.
These teachers during their period of
preparation at the normal schools
have had practice in teaching under
careful guidance"

Local Sales of Christmas Seals

Although the Christmas Seal cam
paign was to have ended December
81, there is still time to send in your
seals and money.
Out of the three hundred letters
sent throughout the county by the
chairman, only 1876 have been heard
from, which means that almost fifty
per cent are still unreported and must
be accounted for.
Please make a final effort to get
these stamps into my hands by JAN
uary 18th at the latest, as the State
report must go in at that time.
I take this opportunity of thanking
all who bought Christmas Seals, and
especially the teachers of the county,
through whose efforts the majority
were sold, and the following contribu-
tors, whose generosity made the cam
paign a success:

II asked the Senate's permission
to have the article printed In the
Record. 1t was my purpose to have
the body adjourn, as is customary,
so that / could have time TO rest
before continuing my speech this
morning. That courtesy was denied
me.
I'm the opinion of the censor OF
the Senate, the article was unim-
portant. In my opinion 1t was OF
the utmost Importance. 1t was so
because the money of Andrew Car

Britain, is now being used 90 bring

closed that Copeland did not read
any article but that he had printed
In the Record newspaper account,
appealing to Congress, to admit
some 5000 Italian World War
veterans as non-immigrants. The
article stated these ex-American
soldiers had remained in Europe
efter the war and were now barred
under the immigration law, al
though they fought in the American
Army.
Reed. however, had the clerk of
the Senate read an article written
many years ago by Andrew Car
negte. 1t took the clerk an hour

Reed then explained rather that
he had facilitated laying Of the tax

Something new and important,
