Dwelling Burned At Woodlawn

Dwelling Burned At WOOdlawn
The frame dwelling of Her.
man Jackson, at Woodlawn,
was totally destroyed by fire on
Tuesday afternoon. The fire
was discovered by Mr.. Jackson
about 2::30 o'clock, in the back
part next the chimney, which
was built on the outside, and is
thought to have caught at the
opening through which the
stove pipe entered the flue.
Mr.. Jackson gave the alarm
and then attempt to pump a
bucket of water, but broke the
pump handle. He then called
the Port Deposit Fire Co., the
firemen responding with two
pieces of apparatus, but there
was no water supply with
which to fight the flames. The
Community Fire Co. of Rising
Sun was later called.
The firemen and neighbors
who had assembled, carried all
the household goods out of the
burning building, but the
dwelling was totally destroyed.
The loss is covered by an in
surance of $4,000 in the Farm
ers' & Mechanics Insurance
Association of Cecil County.

RISING SUN SCHOOL NEWS
Conditions That Demand Bet
ter School Facilities
At Rising Sun

Continuing last weeks ar
ticle on the need for a new
school building lat Rising Sun.
special reference will be made
in regard to sanitary condi-
tions. One of the first princi-
pies of education is that of
placing the school child in a
good environment. Many of
our school courses emphasize
care of the body, cleanliness
and other attitudes of this
type. 1t is difficult to put
across instruction of this kind
under conditions which are alb
solutely unsanitary.
At the present time with an
enrolment of over 800 pupils,
we are still using outside tot
lets. One drinking fountain
and one spigot provides the
drinking water for the entire
elementary school. This year
four foutains were placed in
the high school department.
This relieves the situation
somewhat.
Space for hanging wraps is
lacking. AS a result teachers
are necessitated in hanging
wet wraps in the class rooms,
which are already overcrowd-
ed. The average child spends
a great part of the year in
school. Let us see that our
children have as good an en-
vironment in school as they do
in their own home.
Next weeks continuation will
show our great need for
playground.
The P. T. A. meeting for May
will be held on Thursday eve
ming OF this week in the school
building, at 7:45 o'clock. At
this meeting the election of Of
ficers and a program by the
Elementary School will be the
attractions.
Rising Sun finished third
with a total of 81 points in the
annual Rally Day meet held at
Elkton on Friday last. The
girls as usual came through
with flying colors, winning
championships in volley ball,
dodge ball, touchdown pass
ball, hit ball, block relay. The
boys speed ball team won six
points by placing second in the
speed ball tournament. We
also won first in the 80 pound
60 yd. dash; second in the 80
yd. dash; third and fourth in
the 100 yd. dash.
Friday our base ball and vol
ley ball teams journey to Per-
ryville.
Attendance for the month of
April in the High School was
93.3S%; in the Elementary
School 90%. We noted a de-
cline in attendance due to the
children being needed at home
to work.
