S436,5S3SPENT LAST YEAR
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
1928 Amount For Transporter
ton Is Gain Over 1927 Figure
Keeps Some From School

The counties Of Maryland last year
spent $436,5S3 of the public funds for
the transportation of 15,907 public
school pupils, according to an an
nouncement made Saturday by the
State Department of Education The
increase in expenditure over 1927 was
1858 900, which equals the total amount
spent On transportation in 1920. Last
year $500 more pupils were trans
ported than in 1927.
1t cost the counties $342,822 to
transport 1875 elementary school
pupils to the larger consolidated
schools and 1913, 761 for transporting
1882 high school pupils who lived
more than two or three miles from
the nearest high school. The amount
shown as paid for high school trans
portation, except in a few counties, in
cludes only part of the cost.
Parents Contribute
The parents Of high school pupils,
in all counties except Allegany, Dor
chester, Somerset, Worcester and Wi
comico, last year contributed amounts
varying from $11 to $4 per month. In
Carroll, Calvert and St. Ma1y's coun-
ties the parents had to arrange to pay
the entire cost if their children need
transportation in order to attend high
school. 1t is quite possible, the an
nouncement said, that the expense Of
transportation is keeping children
from high school who would profit by
it.
Since the high school is now ac-
copied in the United States as a part
Of the public school system, the an
nouncement continues, there seems to
be no justification for charging high
school children to ride on the school
bus. The democratic principle of
equality of educational opportunity
would seem to require high school as
we'll as elementary school facilities
within easy reach of all children with
out cost for tuition or transportation.
Expenditures Listed
The county expenditures for the
transportation of pupils from 1910 to
1928 is as follows:
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1929-05-09

eight miles one way. This is an av-
erage covering routes for both high
and elementary schools, the high
school routes being much longer than
those of the elementary schools. In
Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Dorchester,
Montgomery and Somerset counties
average mileage one way was over
ten miles.
The average cost per pupil trans
ported to elementary schools was
$28.63, which was two cents lower
than last year. For high school pupils
the average cost to the county was
$23.85, IS cents more than in 1927.
Costs for elementary pupils ranged
from $65 in Garrett, $40 in Calvert,
SAT in st. Mary's, $45 in Cecil and
$42 in Hartford, down to $23 in Mont
gomery and $21 in Baltimore county.
High school costs to the county, ex-
elusive of amounts paid by parents of
pupils, varied from $40 in Cecil, S38
in Allegany and $50 in Kent down to
$113 in Caroline, $12 in Charles and
Montgomery and $40 in Anne Arundel.
Transportation Costs Vary
The actual cost of high school trans
portation per pupil, if amounts paid
by patrons were included, are proba-
bly, in excess of the amount for each
elementary pupil, because not as many
Of the older boys and girls as of the
younger ones can be accommodated in
d given bus and transportation routes
are longer for high school pupils.
Miles covered, the type of road, the
type of vehicle, insurance carried, the
length of term of contract-all are
factors which determine the cost of
transportation.
Transportation was provided to IT
one-teacher schools in eleven of the
counties, to So two-teacher schools
and to SO graded elementary schools.
There were SO schools to which high
and elementary school pupils were
transported Of the remaining 81
schools, having both high and ele-
mentary grades, twenty-nine had
transportation for elementary pupils
only, and eight had transportation
for only high school pupils. There
were eleven separate high schools to
which pupils were transported. The
sixteen Negro schools to which trans
portation was provided included one
more than last year. Calvert being
the additional county. Negro pupils
were transported to four schools in
Baltimore county and four in Freder-
lex county.

MOTHERS DAY.

(The whole nation observes Moth
er's Day, instituted by Anna Jarvis
at her Grafton West Va.) home.)
Happy indeed is he who is guided
through life by the invisible rays OF
a mothers love.
Implanted in the mothers breast is
an inexhaustible force which when re-
leased penetrates and brightens the
shadows and makes more poyful the
joys of life; envelopes with loving
care him whom she calls son, guiding
his footsteps along life's journey,
snatching him from the brink, bring
ing him through storm-tossed waves
to the haven of rest in her loving
arms at the journeys end.
From the cradle to the grave the
mother shares the joys and sorrows,
the hopes and fears, the successes and
disappointments of her child; she
laughs when he laughs; she weeps
when he weeps is glad when he is
glad; is sad when he is sad.
No matter where, or with whom his
lot is cast, no matter how far he may
stray, how Indifferent he may seem,
her love, waited on the wings of
prayer are re-broadcasted from the
Heavenly throne on wave length to
which his heart is attuned, until final
ly it is to her to whom he turns in
times of stress.

To gladden. all the world;
He sent the foliage and the flowers
In radiance unfurled;
He sent the June, the stars, the moon,
The pearly dew drops sweet,
And then He sent you, mother dear,
To make it all complete"

Expenditures Number Number of
for transport of pupils

Baltimore county transported more
high school pupils than any other
county. Montgomery ranked second.
Carroll, Calvert and St. Mary's trans
ported no high school pupils under
county auspices and Hartford, Cecil
and Howard transported only 16, 80
and 81 pupils respectively.
County Owns Buses
Baltimore and Anne Arundel coun-
ties transported the largest number
of elementary school pupils. 'Balti-
more county, which transported 1880
elementary pupils against 1,783 in
Anne Arundel, spent $9,499 less for
transportation. The explanation Of
the difference is probably due to the
fact that Baltimore county owns a
number of buses for this purpose.
Hartford, Garrett, st. Mary's Wicom-
leo, Cecil and Kent were the only
counties which transported fewer than
100 elementary school pupils.

Dairy Industry Favorable.

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture reports that butter production in
all dairy regions except the North
east states increased from 1918 to
1927. The greatest percentage of in
crease was in the Southern states. The
output in the Mountain states has in
creased steadily since 1920.
In New York and Minnesota, two
important dairy regions, the price OF
butter has been higher than the av-
erage price for the United States
Mississippi, a deficit state, and Ne
braska, a surplus state, have had
prices lower than the United States
average.
Quality of production and market
ing efficiency are the factors in these
regional differences. 1t is well for us
to remember that these two factors
are very important in our county.
The potatoes for the All Potato
Clubs have arrived and have been de-
livered to the boys. The projects will
soon be under way and the public is
invited to observe the results obtained
from the new seed stock.
The stock is tuber unit Rural Russet

Installation of Public Water System
Follows Typhoid Outbreak
The program for the Third Annual
Conference of the Maryland Water
and Sewerage Association, at Sails
bury, May IA and Is, includes re-
port by F. W. Casper, Division En-
gineer of the Bureau of Sanitary En-
gineering of the State Department of
Health, on the typhoid epidemic in
the late summer of 1928, at East
port, an unincorporated community of
2,750 population, in Anne Arundel
County and an account of the relief
measures applied. Thirty-seven cases
of typhoid were detected in connection
with the outbreak. No public water
supply or sewerage facilities were
available. Private wells furnishing
approximately 500 properties were of
shallow depth and after a storm re-
sulting in excessively high tides, ac-
companied by heavy rains, the out
break occurred. Distinction Of wells
was obtained by hypo-chlorite of lime
and other emergency measures were
put into effect.
The necessity for a public water
supply was obvious and in a few
weeks this was requested by the COM
munity. In accordance with the ar
rangement followed in such matters,
the necessary authority was obtained
from the Anne Arundel County Com
for the project and for the
issuance of bonds, amounting in this
instance to $4,000, to finance it.
Plans were Immediately put into OPP
Grafton for the installation of public
water supply system, the water to be
drawn from the public water supply
of Annapolis. The work was begun
and within four months after the out
break occurred, and before the close
of 1928, the entire distribution system
had been installed-a record making
achievement. The work was done by
and under the authority of the Anne
Arundel County Sanitary Commits
sion.

WE ARE INDEED A FORUM.
ATE PEOPLE

AS Mothers Day approaches, Gel
ebrating as it does Gods best earthly
gift to man, our minds advert to that
other sentiment so deeply implanted
in our hearts-love Of country.
AS we noticed in the daily press the
disturbances on May Day in foreign
lands, we wondered if we, in this coun-
try, fully appreciate the blessings
which are ours because of our form of
government and high ideals of citi-
zenship.
In Paris, Budapest, Moscow, Berlin
and other foreign capitals, large
bands of men and women, sometimes
numbering thousands, marched and
counter-marched, singing communistic
songs and bearing infamitory banners,
all aimed at one object of discrediting
or destroying the existing govern
ment of the countries in which they
live.
Violent riots in many instances fol-
lowed, leaving in their wake the dead
and dying, while here there was hard
ly ripple to disturb the peaceful
calm.
We are aware that we have gang
warfare and underworld killings.
Crime seems to be the order of the
day. Husbands are killing wives and
wives are instigating the murder Of
husbands. But this condition is not
aimed at the destruction of the gov
eminent.
The war between rival bootleg
gangs for control of the illicit liquor
traffic is responsible for many muir
ders and as long as they kill each
other, without harming respectable
citizens, we sometimes wonder if the
law should interfere. In respect to
this, careful reading of the news
columns of the daily press convinces
one that in nearly every instance the
names of the gang leaders and asso-
ciates indicate a foreign birth-men
who in their native land have always
set at naught constituted authority.
If our government errs, it is on the
side of leniency. If we would deport
these foreign criminals, when con-
victed of crime, deny them the right
to live under the protection of our be-
nign government, much of the law
violation resulting in murder, would
cease.
AS long as human nature remains
as it has been for centuries, we will
have crimes of passion. Greed, ava
rice, selfshness, misdirected ambition,
unbridled license will always produce
potential murders. Most of our crimes
are based on the uncontrolled baser,
elements of human nature-none are
