BOY, 10, is SENTENCED
TO HOUSE OF CORRECTION
Uses Automobile Without Au-
thorty--SecOnd Offense

Dave Dewitt, of near Crellin, was
sentenced Tuesday to six months in
the House of Correction by Justice
of the Peace W. A. Gender, on a char
ge of unauthorized use of an automo-
bile.
A Ford touring car. owned by Geo.
Keefer, of Oakland, was missed on
Tuesday night, September 20, and it
was found in DeWitt's possession on
Monday night near Crellin, minus,
however, the top, windshield, tools,
and a spare tire.
Dewitt was given a preliminary
hearing on Monday when it was dis
covered that the car had been in a
wreck near Cheat Haven, Pa, caus-
ing the absence of the top and wind
shield. He was in the act of fixing
tire at garage in Crellin Monday
night when apprehended by offic-
ials.

FAIR TERMED SUCCESS BY
MANAGER; CLOSED FRIDAY
Crisp Cold Weather Kept Many
Away-Exhibits In Many De-
partmentS Increased.

That the Eleventh Annual Garrett
County Agricultural Fair had had
reasonable success, was the state
ment of General Manager Alvey R.
Martin on Monday. Taking into con-
sideration the extremely cold weather
which prevailed every day of the ex-
position, the crowds present were as
large as could be expected, he said.
The small number of exhibits in the
live stock department was due not to
the reduction in the amount of pre-
miums, according to Mr.. Martin, but
simply because the farmers failed to
bring in their prize winning cattle and
horses, swine and other animals from
the farms.
Automobile Day, the last day of the
fair, due no doubt to cloudy and in
clement weather conditions, had only
a moderate attendance, the parade
failing to reach the standard set by
those of the preceding days. At 1880
o'clock there was a display of several
new models by automobile dealers in
Oakland and Terra Alta, and the rest
of the day was spent at the fair
grounds where the free exhibitions
were given and the concessions were
located.
Increased Number of Exhibits
Except for the shortage in exhibits
of apples, corn, pumpkins, cattle and
horses, all other departments reported
appreciate increases in exhibits, max
ing it practically certain that there
will be a twelfth annual exhibit OF
the products of Garrett county.
The fair dates, which were moved
up this year, in the hope that better
weather would prevail, struck it fail
but extremely cold. Without doubt
had the weather been at all seasonable
the number attending would have been
easily doubled. 1t is not now known
whether the dates will be moved back
next year or remain at approximately
the same time as this year.
The awards, and to whom they were
made, are given in another story in
today's Republican.

GRADE TEACHERS
in COUNTY NUMBER l3l
Increase Since 1922 is Told to
ROtarians Friday by Su-
perintendent Rathbun

How the number of first grade GER
tificated teachers in Garrett county
had increased from 18 in October
1922, to 131 in September, 1927, was
told to the Oakland Rotary Club IN
last Friday evening by F. E. Rathbun,
county superintendent of schools OF
Garrett county, who spoke at the
weekly meeting in the William-James
hotel.
"In January, 1922, the States ed
ucational program was "a competent,
well-trained teacher, in hearty &C
cord with American ideals, in every
public school position in Maryland, so
that there may be an equal oppor-
tunity for all children of the State "
Mr.. Rathbun said, "and in pursuance
of that idea, the Board of Education
has endeavored to raise the standard
of teachers in this county,"
While the first-grade certificated
teachers were increasing from Is to
131, the number of third graders de-
creased from Sc to "a, the second
graders remaining approximately the
same, he pointed out.
The requirements for an elementary
first grade teachers certificate was
given by Mr.. Rathbun as four years
of high school work with graduation,
and two years of normal school work
with graduation, or the equivalent
This showed the great increase that
had been made within the last few
years of those attending the normal
schools.
At the opening of the present school
term, he pointed out, there were II
second grade certifcated teachers
and 16 third graders, and these were
scattered throughout the county as
follows:
Oakland supervisory unit, under
Miss Helen L. Kinnick, supervisor, has
three second and two third graders;
Accident unit under Miss Marion Hen
, ion, has five seconds and 7 thirds;
Grantsville unit, under Miss Kate
Bannatyne, has seconds and thirds,
and Friendsville unit, under Miss Mary
Selby, has seconds and thirds.
Average annual salaries of elemen-
tary school teachers in 1922 was $574
In 1927 they average $1,018, Mr..
Rathbun said. The speaker concluded
his talk with the wish that in the
future every teacher in the county
would have a first grade certificate
so that the aim of the State educa-
tional program might be carried out
that of giving every child in the
State an equal opportunity to learn.
