Mr.. John l.. FitZwater,
School Attendance Officer,
Court House, Oakland, Maryland.
Dear SIR
After reading in the County papers of
last week an article entitled Concerning our
Public Schools have a few questions to
ask.
l. 1 am the father of five children. My
oldest boy Henry is 16 years and 1 month
Old He has not completed the elementary
grades and therefore does not have a Ger
tiicate of Graduation. Must he attend
school this coming school year?
2. My next child Mary is Is years and
months old and has her Certificate where
she has completed the elementary grades.
Is it necessary that she attend school?
3. Robert is Ii years and months old
and has also a Certificate where he has
completed the elementary grades last
spring. Is he required to attend school?
4. Sarah will be ten years old her next
birthday and her mother needs her help
about the house. Must she start to school
September 9Th, or can we keep her home for
month or two to help with the work?
5. My youngest child, Calvin, will be SIX
years old the 18th of this month. I would
like to start him to school on September
9Th, but do not like to have him vaccinated
now. Can send him to school until he is
seven years old before having him vacci-
mated?
6. If two of my children should get the
measles, whooping cough or mumps after
school starts, must send my older children
to school while these two children have the
measles, whooping cough or humps or keep
them at home?
1 might add that the physical condition
of all my children mentioned above at this
time is such that do not make it necessary
for them to be absent from school.
Awaiting your reply, l am,
Very truly yours,
H. SAMUEL STONE.

NO DRIVE FOR FUNDS
 FOR TREES THIS YEAR
Municipal Eyergreens for Holiday Observance Financed Out of
 Old Surplus.

Municipal Christmas trees will be placed in their positions Monday morning and by Monday evening are expected to be decorated and illum- mated, according to Ralph H. Ben son, secretary Of the Chamber of Commerce.
 Contrary to the cust2m of previous years, it was not found necessary to make an appeal for funds for the Christmas trees this year. This is due to two causes. One reason is that the fund last year was more than double the amount required and left sufficient balance for an- other year. The other reason was that it has been found inadvisable 10 spend any money for programs at the trees and this expense is saved.
 Next year the annual appeal will be made. Any checks sent in vol mtarily this year will be deposited towards next years tree.
 There will be one additional tree this year. The triangle at the cor ucr of Broad, Burritt and Clinton streets. not yet dignitied by a name on the list of city parks. will blos- .om forth in it's initial burst of yuletide glory. Other trees will be placed as usual at the center. Vine and West Main streets, Franklin Square, McCage park, Chamberlain school and the green at the junction of stanley street and Hillcrest ave- nue.
 No programs have been arranged, but no objection will be made to church chOirs or musical organlza- tions singing Christmas carols under the trees.
 The Connecticut Light and Power Co.,. again has volunteered to donate ;he power for illumination of the trees,

OPPOSED MAGRUDER AGAIN POINTS OUT MISTAKES OF NAVY
(Continued from Preceding Page)

Robinson" circulated reports that the naval committee approved the lease to Harry r, Sinclair. Rear Admiral J. K. Robinson figured in the making of the lease.
 Among the yards which could be vel dispensed with, he said, was that at Charleston. s. c. Pressure had been brought upon him, he as serted, when he was handling mat ters pertaining to naval activities at New Orleans.
 There are too many naval bases on the Atlantic coast, and not enough on the Pacific. the admiral argued, in endorsing the construc- ton Of the present base in Hawaii. He opposed construction of navy ships in government yards, declaring that at the time the William Cramp and Sons Shlpbuilding company went out of business, the navy was build ing cruisers in its own yards on the Pacific coast.
