gravel roads, Approximately one
third are oiled annually, he added.

COUNTY SCHOOL PUPILS
INCREASE IN NUMBERS
State Department Reports En-.
rOllment Last Year 1900
Greater Than in 1927

The county white school enrolment
last year showed an increase of 1900
pupils, as compared with 1927, ac-
cording to an announcement made
yesterday by the State department
of education.
Due to the increase of population
in the congested districts of the state,
the number of pupils in the upper
elementary grades and high schools
to be provided for continues to mount,
the announcement said.
10000 Last Year
Last year the county white enroll
ment totaled 10000 pupils. Not on
ly are the public schools growing, ac-
cording to the announcement, but
similar conditions are also found in
the Catholic parish and private
schools. The white country enroll
ment in Catholic schools for 1929
was $500. Approximately 1,400 were
reported enrolled in private schools
in the counties.
The public school population in Bal
timore city also is growing, the white
enrolment last year being 91,039.
The Catholic schools showed an en-
rollment of $4,000 and the private
schools nearly 1900 pupils.
No More in Caroline
Baltimore, Allegany and Montgom-
cry counties showed individual gains
from 1927 to 1928 of from $50 to 75O
white pupils. Every county except
Carroll reported more white pupils
in average. attendance last year than
it reported for the preceding year.
The enrolment in county white
high schools was 21,811 last year, or
seven percent higher than the pre-
ceding year, while the attendance was
19,0S0 and showed an increase of
1876, or nine percent over 1927.
Enrolment Figures
The enrolment and attendance in
approved county white high schools
from 1916 to 1928 is as follows:

THE REVOLT AGAINST CIV
HIZATION

No more notable utterance has been
made by President in years than
that of President Hoover at the meet
ing of the Associated Press in New
York. 1t is a message which the
American people must take to heart
if their civilization is to be preserved.
Strong as the utterance is, much was
left unsaid which thoughtful men and
women can easily read between the
lines.
President Hoover called attention
to the fact that in individual lawless-
ness America leads the world. He de-
clared that it is evident that the ma
tional habit of law-breaking did not
begin with the enactment Of the
Eighteenth Amendment, but that the
violation of the prohibition amend
ment and laws was only the contlnu-
ance of a tendency alarmingly appar-
ent before this change occurred. Those
whose memories run back to pre-pro-
hibition days will have no difficulty IN
recalling that lawlessness in connec-
ton with the liquor traffic was ram
pant before the prohibition policy was
seriously considered and indeed ac-
counted for the development Of public
sentiment which made this drastic
legislation possible.
Such lawlessness is not hard to eX-
plain. The greater political freedom
achieved by a people, the greater the
relaxation of arbitrary authority, the
greater the danger of lack OF obedl-
ence to law. Yet that obedience to
law is an essential accompaniment OF
greater freedom; otherwise the eXper-
iment of popular government will tall'
The citizen owes more implicit obedl-
ence to law under representative re-
publican government than under au-
tocracy; for laws under a popular
form of government are necessarily
an expression of majority rule. In
liberty is the seed of anarchy, unless
it be guarded by eternal vigilance.
The situation in America is compli-
Gated by the fact that we have alb
sorbed into our population millions Of
aliens unaccustomed to free institu-
lions. Long held under the heel OF
despotism, they find it difficult to look
upon laws and institutions in new
land in the spirit that should charac-
terize a citizen of a free government.
1t is not accidental, therefore, that a
vast majority of those who have be-
come identified in this country with
organized crime, are newcomers to
the United States. They constitute
but a small percentage of our total
foreign population, but their activity
constitutes a growing menace to pub
lie order and safety.
But after all, so long as certain
section of the American metropolitan
press persists in clarifying the crimi-
nal, and attacking rather than defend
ing the officers of the law who are
constantly called upon to risk their
lives in the battle with the under
world, we cannot flatter ourselves
with the thought that the causes of

Averag

The number of schools for white
pupils open less than $50 days, the
time required by law, has decreased
considerably since 1926. In the lat
ter year there were 124 such schools,
in 1927 there were SO and last year
33.
Thirteen counties did not have one
school open less than the required
time. Montgomery, Frederick, Car
roll, st. Mary's, Dorchester, Somer-
set and Charles counties each had two
to four schools which did not fulfill
the requirements on the length Of

 One of the advanced branches of the Society's work is that of con- serving vision for the partially sighted child, instigated and in spired by Mrs. Winifred Hathaway, mother of sight saving classes"
 Mrs. Hathaway, in 1921, assisted in the first course for sight saving class teachers given at Columbia University. Since then she has taught teachers and supervisors at many of the country's best unirer- sities and colleges and has even been called 10 England for consultation on similar work there for partially sighted children.
 "At least 5000 sight saving classes are needed to provide for the visu ally handicapped school children in this country" Mrs. Hathaway esti- mated. There are 32S such classes now and they have proved that many children accounted sullen mentally subnormal. morosc and even considered criminal actually l displayed intelligence and pleasing dispositions when they were placed in classes arranged especially for defective Nision.''

 The equipment of these class rooms is scientific. Chairs move up and down and so do tables they use 1 instead of desks, that each pupils range Of vision may be accommo- dated. They are placed at an angle in the room. that the best possible lighting, coming over the left shoul- der, may be achieved. They are taught orally as much as possible, and write in large letters and figures to avoid all unnecessary eye strain. With small units teachers can give each individual attention to further 1 lessen strain.
 These classes function beyond just getting a child through school. Along with the technical perfection of these classes, Mrs Hathaway and others in the work offer vocational | guidance so that near sighted child, for instance. will avoid choos- ing work she could not possibly do One illustration of this was an ar tistic little thing wanting to dc miniatures. who was steered into poster designs, which she could dc and which sh ecnjoyed.

NATIONAL PROGRAM

Organization Seeks Laws Con- polling Treatment Of Babies

New York Dec. 6.-Becausc an ounce of prevention is worth more than a ton of cure when it comes to saving eyesight, the National So- ciety for the Prevention of Blind ness already has made New Years resolution.
 It is a three-fold one.
 First, the society wants the re- maining states that do not now have q law requiring silver nitrate treatment Of newborn babies eyes 10 pass and enforce one, as a means of cradicating "baby sore eyes which often cause blindness.
 Second, the organization plans an extensive nation-w wide program dur ing 1930 to educate the public as to the advisability of eye tests for the pre- school child. in order that cor rective measures may be employed to conserve what sight there is.
 Third, the society will cooperate with the American Federation of Labor in the coming year to con- serve the vision of workers by in sisting on goggles. machine guards and other safety devices, in occupa- tons dangerous to sight, and by eliminating poor lighting which causes eye strain. the third great cause of blindness, ranking close to disease and accident
 Children's Eyes Tested
 Perhaps the work this society does testing little chidren's eyes is about the most fascinating. They now have perfected little animal game, where, by use of the letter E, standing on it's three legs. lying on it's back, pointing it's paws this way or that. an efficient test can be made of the vision of a child as young as three years. If deficient in sight, the child has a much better chance of having it's sight salvaged when the deficiency is discovered at an early age. By building up bodily health, by other ways, sometimes this vision is improved
 One nurse, trained in testing the pre-school child's sight. spends her whole time demonstrating the ne- cessity of such tests. During 193O. she hopes to have the co-operatiou of many clubs and schools in con- munities throughout the country.
