Is the educational section of the Amer
lean Bankers Association. It was
formed twenty-eight years ago by bank
employees and officers and has been
carried on ever since as voluntary
organization. Many students who have
graduated continue their membership
in order to give active support to some
type of educational work other than
the actual class program.
The greater part Of the educational
work is carried on in 200 cities and
towns in the United States. Here the
local chapter of the American Insti-
I tute Of Banking has its regularly or
ganized courses of study under super

LIGHTS GOLDEN JUBILEE

From June l to October 81, the
Golden Jubilee, the international
celebration of fiftieth anniversary Of
the incandescent lamp will he held
at Atlantic City.
In the words of Preston Ark
wright, President of National Elec-
trio Light Association, such con-
vention has never been held before
and probably never will be held
again.
On the last night, to be called
the might of Light" the first inter
national radio-broadcasting pro.
gram is to be held with such dis
tinguished men as President Hoover,
Ford, Lindbergh and many foreign
notables, paying their respects to
Thomas Edison.
All important organizations with
in the electric industry and many
outside bodies will cooperate
Unique electrical decorations will be
used.
This is fitting honor for Thomas
Edison who by the invention of the
incandescent light, changed the
whole development of domestic and
business life.
Henry Ford has made a FIVE
million-dollar gift for a technical
school and museum to house the
Edisonian collection and his own
collection. Thus the achievements
that are to be heralded during the
Golden Jubilee will be tangibly pre-
served, from their modest begin
nings to the efficient devices of
today.
Not only the electric industry, but
the entire world, applauds the in
ventive genius that made the electric
light possible.

DEALING WITH LAWBREAKERs

In delightful contrast with that
grotesque organization of New York
lawyers to help violators of the
Jones Prohibition law is the creation
OF an agency of public-spirited citi-
zens in Philadelphia not to help he
criminal but to suppress him. The
latter group is much more express
sive of American patriotism and
traditions than the former.
Nothing in the experience of
America seems more brazen than the
announcement from New York some
weeks ago that because the Jones
law provided real punishment for
law-breakers, a movement among
lawyers was started to safeguard the
violators Of the law. That sort of
thing in wartime would be regard
ed as treason. How less repre-
hensible is it when the Nation is
face to face with one of the law and
order crisis of it's history?
The much better, the mi CHI more
becoming method has been adopted
by the financial and business leaders
of Philadelphia who are impressed
that unless respect for law is resum-
ed, this Nation faces serious if not
fatal consequences. 1t is one answer
to the audaoious effrontery of the
wet groups in some metropolitan
and other centers which seem deter
mined to wreck this Nation unless
they can guzzle MISUNDERSTANDING
Patriot.

MOTHERS DAY

There is no more beautiful custom
than the setting apart for annual OBJ
servance of what is designated as
Mothers Day." when our thoughts
are especially directed to the one to
whom we owe the most-Mother
One whose love is never failing, nor
sacrifice too great to make for the
happiness or welfare of her loved
cnes.
This sacred day is observed on
the second Sunday in May, and this
year falls on the twelfth of the
month, when everyone who wishes
to do homage to motherhood will
wear bright flower for the living
mother, or white flower if mother
has passed to the Great Beyond
The carnation is the flower most
favored as the emblem for the day
Mothers Day was originated by
Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia,
who founded the Mothers Day In
ternational Association, and the
sixty-third congress passed a resolu
ton fixing the second Sunday in
May Mothers Day and making it the
duty of the president to proclaim it.
The late President Wilson issued
the first Mothers Day proclamation
in 1914. States also, have given
recognition to the day. In 1913
Nebraska designated Mothers Day
as state flag day; in the same year
Pennsylvania made Mothers Day a
State holiday, and since 1912 COVER
mors of Texas have annually pardon
ed deserving inmates of prisons on
Mothers Day.
The original idea of Mothers Day
embraced the simultaneous observ-
ance in every part of the world of
the day as an acknowledgment of
the love and reverence all men and
women owe to their mothers.
In addition to the wearing of
Z A~W0--- err a-iass>.<s--- As,s their rnotbars.
those whose mothers are living, but
from whom they are separated, are
urged by the promoters Of the OBJ
servance to visit or write them upon
Mothers Day.
Though we stress the second Sun
day in May as Mothers Day, it really
should be every day in the year, for
it is background in every heart.
The love felt by mother for her
children and by her children for her
are things apart. They are proved
by service and sacrifice, not by
words. They need no special
emphasis.

COST OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS in
THE STATE

1t cost $7,7S7,000 to operate the
public schools in twenty-three coun-
ties last year, according to an an
nouncement made last week w thu
State Department of Education. The
State contributed $2,47S,0O0, or 80
per cent. of the total amount, and
the counties levied $5,309,000, or i,
per cent.
The sum for current school main
tenance was 100000 more than the
preceding year, the increase in the
State appropriation being $149,000
and in the county levy 1921, 900.
There was great variation in the
percentage of the county school ex-
pense budget contributed by the
State, namely, from sixty-two per
cent. in Somerset down to nineteen
per cent. in Allegany.
Somerset, Calvert, Charles, Gar
rett and st. Mary's received more
than half of the amount expended
for schools, other than debt service
and capital outlay, from State funos.
The percentage received 10y Cecil
county from the State was 80.
Of every dollar spent in the coun
ties for conducting the public school:
last year II cents were used to pay
teachers salaries, cents for books
and educational materials, cents
for supervision of schools, 3 cents
for general administration, Z cents
for cleaning and heating buildings,
8 cents for repairing buildings, Z
cents for transporting pupils, health
work and school libraries, and 2
cents for tuition to adjoining coun
ties, insurance, rent and other mis-
oellaneous items.
The average number of pupils en-
rolled in the country schools for
whom this money was EXPENDED
totalad 147. 600 an .isAerao.so re 8,1oo
pupils over the preceding year.
The cost per pupil, obtained by
dividing maintenance costs by the
average of pupils enrolled in all
types of schools, elementary, high
and colored, was $5262, an increas,
of 65 cents over the preceding year.
| Queen Annes, Baltimore, Calvert,
Frederick, ,Allegany, Hartford, and
Washington counties had lower ex-
penditures per pupil in 1928 than in
1927. The largest increases were
found in Cecil, Howard, Anne
Arundel, st. Mary's and Garrett
counties, all of which employed a
larger proportion of trained and ex.
perienced teachers than in the pre-
ceding year.
The cost per pupil varied from
$67 in Garrett county, which has
many small one-teacher schools aud
no colored enrolment, to SAL In
Charles county, which has a large
colored enrolment The amount
expended per pupil enrolled in Cecil
county was $4,000.
High school pupils cost twice as
much as elementary school pupils.
The education of the average county
pupil in the white elementary
schools costs $4S and the instruction
for the average white high school
pupil costs sos.

ONE cow VS.. OLE DOZEN

"Why milk twelve poor cows when
one good COW will do the work Of the
twelve?" asks the bulletin Of the
American Bankers Association Ag"i'
cultural Commission. It declares that
analysis of more than 100000 indi'
vidual yearly records from cows on
test in dairy herd improvement asso-
Citations indicate that on the average:
Cows that produced 100 lbs. butterfat
a year returned $14 each over feed
cost;
Cows that produced 200 lbs. butterfat
a year returned $54 each over feed
cost;
Cows that produced 800 lbs. butterfat
a year returned 500 each over feed
cost;
Cows that produced 400 lbs. butterfat
4 year returned $13S each over feed
cost:
Cows that produced 500 lbs. butterfat
a year returned $178 each over feed
cost;
In other words. one 500-pound pre-
Queer will return $40 more over feed
cost than twelve 100 10. producers.
This does not take into account,
either. the added labor Of milking and
caring for the larger herd, or the
much greater expense Of providing
stable room for a dozen instead Of
single animal. The figures are based
on farm prices from all parts of the
country.

They have resodded and decorated,
the grave in the middle OF the play
ground-tf1e grave which is respon-
sfble for the existence of the recrea-
ton center.
More than 10 years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Morton Mitchell bought the
half-acre tract which is now the
site of the playground, and planned
to build a home. While they were
drawing their plans their neloved
pet, a collie dog. died. They de-
cided to bury him on the site of
their new home.
Grave Must Be Preserved
Then they went on with their
home building plans. But a short
time later Mr., Mitchell died and
his widow abandoned the project.
When Mrs. Mitchell died in 1918
it was found that her will directed
that the land be turned over to the
District Commissioners for use as
a park. The will carried proviso
that the grave of the dog must be
kept up and preserved.
The Commissioners turned the
property over to Mrs. Susie Root
Rhodes, director of Fairgrounds,
and she converted it into recrea-
ton center.
But the provision of Mrs.
Mitchell's will providing for the care
OF the dogs last resting place has
been studiously obeyed. Every
child, and there are $50 of them A
day, who plays on the ground, is
told the story Of the dog and of
his grave.
Flowers Are Brought
Almost daily some child will ap
pear at the playground with bunch
of flowers, or with even a single
bloom, and carefully place it on
the grave. With the changing
seasons the sod on the little space
is changed and is always kept green
and fresh. A little stone marks the
head rest of the collie.
In order that the grave may not
be irreverently treated by mis-
placed balls and other equipment,
a wire covering has been built over
it. This affords complete protec.
ton, especially when it is aided by
the efforts of the children to avoid
the grave.
