DIR MODERN SCHOOLS

The public high school as 1t exists
today is distinctly American, ana Is
of comparatively recent development
III the history OF educational instltu-
tions. The first public high schooi
was founded in the city OF Boston In
1921. Today, approximately eigh-
teen thousand high schools through
out America are bringing education
al opportunities within easy reach OF
more than two and one-half million
boys and girls.
Prior to the development Of the
public high school the only training
beyond the elementary level was
provided in the Latin Grammar
Schools, during the period from 1888
to 1850, and through the private and
religious academies during the CEN
fury from 1850 to 1850. Since
1850 the rise of the American High
School has been rapid. Although
founded originally to provide prepa-
ration for the college courses that
led directly into professions, 1t mas
in the later decades Droadened Its
course of study to meet the widely
varying and rapidly changing condl-
lions of modern life. The high
school has become the peoples col
lege," bringing within easy reach OF
every child the opportunity to tram
for a fuller life while at the same
time developing specific vocational
skills and abilities.
The high school of generation
ago included only those pupils VINO
expected to attend the college. TO
day practically all the children or al
the people, regardless OF vocatlona
interest are coming under the lnnu
ence of some high school. In ordel
to meet the needs of this increased
enrolment the curriculum must bt
guaged in accordance with the vary
ing interest and capacities OF th'
larger group. A great modern edu
Gator has said: 1T is the business
OF the school to teach the child to d
do anyhow In the 1fgnC OF tfyt
principle, 1.-THE Secondary schR
program OF studies must be conceiy
ed and operated as to enforce, guidS
and direct the activities OF the pup
lis, both within the school, and II
relation to other education activi
ties
The high school of today is com
parable to the college of yesterday

try into an economic unit. The nation is not,
in business sense, conducting it's affairs in
water-tight compartments, as in measure
it did in the days Of slow travel and remote
places, but styles, methods, commodities
and business practices flow freely today in
all directions. Therefore it is desirable
that finance, trade and industry throughout
the country operate along generally uni
form or at least consistent lines, so that a
contract or an agreement or obligation in
connection with business transactions shall
mean virtually the same thing in all parts OF
the country. Particularly necessary in this
connection is the establishment of uniform
financial and banking practices so as to ia.

$4,000 FoR THE PURCHASE OF
STATE FORESTS

The forestry program for the last
two years has laid special emphasis
upon the need of state forests. Up
to a year ago the total area OF state
forests was a little less than 5000
acres. This past year, however, S.
900 acres were added and the Legis-
lature of 1929 has made available
the sum of $4,000 for the next two
years for further purchase OF land
for state forests. While this is a
small amount compared with the
present needs, it is real beginning,
and places Maryland in line with the
more progressive states to the north
of us, which have definite acquisi-
ton programs.

submit to him petition requesting that he issue

Helena has urged longer skirts, etc. But according
to the mems petition the premiers order is needed,
and they say they believe it would be obeyed implicitly

women forbidden to wear close-ftting, transparent

ANNIVERSARY

WILLIAM PENN BORN
Oct. IA

TODAY is the 295th anniversary
Il of the birth of William Penn,
founder of Pennsylvania and leader
of Ouakers in America.
The son of Sir William Penn, the
Quaker leader was born at Tower
Hill, London, on Oct. IA, 1914, and
was educated chiefly at Christ
church, oxford, where he became a
Quaker.
His enthusiasm for his new faith
assumed a pugnacious form and he
was expelled from the university
after his violent protest against at
tending the services of the Church
of England and wearing the sur
plice of a student.
After numerous escapades, for
which he was punished by conflne-
ment in the tower, Penn turned
his attention to the new world.
In 1881, he obtained from the
crown a grant of territory from
which the boundaries Of the present
state of Pennsylvania were deter
mined.
BY royal charter Penn was
lord proprietor of the territory and
established a home for his CO.
religionists in America. He laid out
a site for a new capital and called
it Philadelphia.
Penn died In l718.

Perfection

TEAN DIXON plays the part of a
- song writer's wife. The high
spot in her performance is the best
bit of acting to be seen in the cur
rent season. 1t is a moment in
which she speaks no line nor makes
a single gesture.
The composer, in the privacy of
their little home, undertakes to sing
for her his latest potential hit, which
is called Montana Moon" And as
he croons the love ditty there
marches across the face OF Miss
Dixon the most amazing combina-
ton of boredom, contempt and
downright malignant illWill that I
have ever seen.
A woman with such capacity
for hatred must be admired.
In the song-writing world, which
is satirically presented as being
wholly devoted to the celebration of
love for moon and mother, the bit
ter, cynical materialism of the char
acter of Lucille rises like a friendly
foothold in we'll of treacle.
I realize that kaufman and
Lardner felt that they must do
something for Edna, the heroine.
They might have welshed on this,
as far as I was concerned, but l
would not have minded their paying
the debt if only they had done right
by Lucille. I realize that there is
not nearly enough kindness in the
world, but there is also a lack Of in
spiriting and vital hatred.

A High Price to Pay

CENATOR TYDINGS of Mary
~ land says that the government
deliberately has suppressed numer-
GUS killings by federal enforcement
agents, and lists fifty-one incidents
to prove it.
According to his figures, 299 per-
sons have lost their lives in the last
nine years through prohibition en-
forcement, instead of the 248 shown
by government reports.
Considering what has been &C
complished, that seems a rather
large price to pay.
STILL it is only fair to recall that
during the same period automobiles
have accounted for almost as many
thousands.
While this country may have gone
to tragic extremes for the sake of
prohibition, ii is not the only, or
even the most ruthless, exponent of
regulating personal conduct by law
In spite of the eighteenth amend
ment and Volstead act, we Ameri-
cans still can claim a greater de-
gree of personal liberty than exists
in Fascist Italy, or Bolshev:st Rus
STA, only to mention two examples,
while the city Of Budapest has
framed an anti-noise ordinance
which eclipses anything we have
suggested
Under this ordinance, trolley cars
will not be allowed to use pneu-
matte bells; streets and tracks would
have to be repaired during the day:
automobiles will be dehorned; fire
trucks and ambulances will use
flashlights instead of sirens; loud
talking will not be permitted even
in houses; taxi drivers will be de-
MED the privilege of swearing at
each other Or at policemen; news
boys can lB0t shout "wuxtry," and
the citizen who would prolong
party after 10 p. m. will have to get
a special permit.

Terribly Tough

TT will be terribly tough luck for
l. the Rev. FIR. Bedford If he is ever
elected Pope and has to live in the
Vatican. Perhaps he can get the
Italians to move out by complaining
to the landlord.
In regard to Negroes, the Rev. FIR
Belford says: SHOULD we see symp-
toms of an invasion, or should
strange Negroes become numerous,
we would not hesitate one minute
to tell them to go to their own
church and to exclude them, If the
telling was not effectual."
There were shepherds, dark
skinned men, watching their flocks
upon a certain night, and when the
message came, they went to Bethle-
hem to visit a child they had never
seen. And they came with haste
and found Mary, and Joseph, and
the Babe lying in a manager"
And there was no Rev. FIR. Belford
to cry out, These men are strangers,
exclude them!"

Every cut and abrasion on the
skin ought to be treated with an
antiseptic solution and pimples or
other sources of puS should be wiped
with hydrogen peroxide solution or

Instead of this, the barber shop
is likely to use witch hazel as an
antiseptic, which is SO weak that
it will not prevent infections.
The barber is likely to touch
bleeding places with a styptic pencil
which is crusted with blood and
which is likely to be moved on from

anomalies-its vets who vote for

Senator Sheppard of Texas, COM
monty known as father of the
eighteenth amendment" wants the
Volstead act amended so that pur-
chaserS of liquor can be prosecuted.
The Rev. Arthur j. Barton, chair
man Of the national executive COM
mittee of the Anti-Saloon league,
not only regards such amendment
as unconstitutional, but thinks that
convictions under it would be hard
to obtain.
He is absolutely right in the lat
ter assumption, and as between the
two, it is far and away the more
important.
When a law obviously is unen-
forceable, it is merely waste of time
arguing as to it's constitutionality.
