sufficient reasons. In some cases the

others, "lack of parental co-opera-
ton"

new permanent camp on the shores of
Deep Greek Lake, SO generously pro-
vided for them by the citizens of this
community. At the camp a great
amount of scout work was accom-
plished.
This troop has just completed it's
third year of existence. During that
time about 60 names have appeared on
the troop record. This includes the
80 now enrolled. Of the Is charter
members, 10 are still enrolled. Thir-
ty boys have been invested with first
class rank.

tive monthly meeting of that body. In
the past two years they have issued
total of SOB merit badges to members
of this troop and SO to members of
other troops, the latter being sum-

visitor and eight members of the troop
have been given Eagle Scout rank.
Four scouts now lack only two or
three badges to qualify for that rank.

thing good of it and of themselves, the
officials extend their hearty congratu-
lations. They feel that the time and
effort extended has been well spent
and that to a great extent success has
already been achieved.

MUSICAL COMEDY PLEASES
AUDIENCES AT MARYLAND
"See You Later" Presented Last
Thursday and Friday Evenings
Under Civic Club Auspices

A clever comedy, made up of many
laughs, thrills, songs and steps one
can't forget, was the production of the
musical comedy "See You Later" pre-
sented Thursday and Friday evenings
of last week in the Maryland Theatre
under the auspices of the Oakland
Civic Club.
Composed of competent east of
about fifty local people, the play at
tracted large crowds both evenings,
and although the participants had just
one week in which to learn their parts,
with the assistance of Miss Lucille
Mock, of the Triangle Producing Com
pany, who also directed the play, there
was very little hesitancy in the pre-
sentation of the plot and numerous
musical selections.
The comedy was in three acts and
opened in the office of the National
Contracting Company where the three
partners, Donald Mckay Geo. Hanst),
Sollie Goldstein (James Dodge, and
Percy We're (Kenneth StahD are gath
cred talking over business, which is
indeed in bad straits. The plan of
little frame-up upon the person of
Mr.. Milrox Edward KahD, a New
York millionaire, in order to help their
business. Their plot gets them in
wrong during the final acts and finally
establishes the real identity of Sally
Forth Uavona Blamble), and Mary
MilroX Isabel West). The remain
der of the cast included Helen Hine-
baugh, Robert Stemple, Thomas Con
der and Roland Ready.
Throughout the second and third
acts laid at McKay's summer home in
the mountains, much comedy is in
jected into the play by Spottsem, Jeff
and Speedy. The curtain falls when
the various characters get the women
of their heart and the lost lucky piece
is returned to the owner.
Choruses Are Pretty.
The choruses, both of the little girls
and the older and more experienced
boys and girls, were very pretty and
effective. All taking part in these
were beautifully costumed. Mrs. Jas.
P. Treacy played all the numbers on
the piano in which the choruses and

GARRETT HAS GREATEST
TEACHER IMPROVEMENT
Percentage of Trained Instruc-
tors Has Been Raised From
Z to Eighty-One Since 1921

Garrett county, since 1921, has the
record of having shown the greatest
improvement in the percentage of
trained teachers, according to Stats
tics compiled by the State Depart
ment of Education. In 1921 the county
had only seven per cent, while now it
has eighty-one per cent. Out of 1859
teachers, 1876 of them have frst-grade
certificates.
An increase in 1927 over 1926 of
SO per cent in white elementary school
teachers in the State holding first
grade certificates, which are given on
graduation from normal schools or
equivalent training, is shown also by
these statistics.
There are now 1857 such teachers
employed in the twenty-three counties
of the State, compared with 1928
holding certificates in 1921.
Queen Anne's is the only county in
the State which has every elementary
teacher on its staff holding regular
first grade certificate. Baltimore
county, however, with six times as
many teachers in the elementary
schools as Queen Anne's, is a close
second with all except one having the
requisite training.
Looks For 100 Per Cent Soon.
Of the 3037 white elementary teach
ers employed this scholastic year, 85.5
per cent have first grade certificates,
while 1856 per cent of the teachers
during the last school year held such
certificates. According to Albert S.
Cook, State Superintendent of Educa
ton, the increase will grow steadily
each year until the teachers through
out the State will be one hundred per
cent first graders, in accordance with
the requirements.
Higher Pay For Teachers
Teachers Of better training COM
mand higher salaries and the finan-
cially poorer counties have been able
to secure this larger number of train
ed teachers without increasing their
county tax rates abnormally, because
of the aid from the State Equalization
Fund" Mr.. Cook said. "Many factors
have brought about this desirable i'm
provement. The county high schools
have been sending one-ffth of their
