WITH EXCEPTION OF A FEW
SCHOOLS ALL ARE OPENED
Oakland High and Elementary
TO Receive Pupils Next Week

Elementary and High schools of the
county, with the exception of those at
Oakland and Mountain Lake Park
opened for the 192S-1929 terms on
last Thursday, September 6. The on.
rollment was around the average TO,
all schools at the beginning of the
years term, John L. Fitzwater. at.
tendance officer, stated yesterday.
Schools in Oakland will not open
before Monday, Superintendent of
Schools F. E. Rathbun, stated. "The
exact time will be announced to all
parents in time to get their children
in school," he said.
st. Peters Parochial school will
open on Monday, September II. ac-
cordlng to the latest report. School
there was to have begun last Monday,
but was postponed one week.
The failure of the Oakland school
and those in the community to open on
time will not affect the county atten-
dance record very seriously. according
to Mr.. Fitzwater, except in the figures
OF aggregate days attendance. The
percentage column will not be harmed
and as the attendance in other schools
is about the average, there are still
hopes OF beating last years record, he
thinks.

DEDICATION OF OLD FORT
M'HENRY HELD YESTERDAY
Thunder of Guns Again Heard
AS They Were Again Fired On
Ramparts of Famous Old Fort

The thunder of guns again roared
through the walls of old Fort Nc
Henry, at whose ramparts the Brit
ish assault and advance on Baltimore
just la years ago was halted, when
the fertilization, restored to resemble
as closely as possible the condition in
which they were that Hateful day in
1914, was dedicated as a national
shrine and turned over to the Gov
eminent as such today.
A program, embracing parades,
band concerts, speaking and mimic
warfare, to be taken part in by Fed
eral troops and National guard units
and naval forces, was prepared by the
Society of the War of 1872, which fos-
tered the movement to have the fort
made National shrine and the work
of restoration, aided by a congress
sional appropriation.
F. Trubee Davidson, assistant sec
rotary of war, formally dedicated
the fort on behalf of the Government.
He was thanked in the name of
Maryland and Baltimore respectively
by Governor Albert C. Richie and by
Mayor William F. Broening, General
Clinton L. Riggs, president of the So
ciety which restored the fort, and
Charles H. Linville, chairman of the
executive committee, also spoke.
A parade which started at noon,
made up of Regular Army and Ma
tional Guard units, patriotic organiza-
tions and city officials, marched to the
fort as a starter of the days cere-
monies. Two concerts, one by the
United States Marine Band and one by
the United States Army band, were
held in the afternoon and evening, be
tween which the speaking took place.
A banquet by the Society of the
War of 1912 was held in the evening,
at which Major-G General Charles P.
Summerall was guest.
At night naval vessels opened fire
on the fort, and the guns on the boats
were answered by those in the fort,
manned by the Sixth Field Artillery,
the outfit which fired the first Ameri-
can shells in the World War. The
naval vessels, which have been in the
harbor of Baltimore since yesterday
are the Oglala, Mahan and Maury.
The sham bombardment closed the
days ceremonies.
