his way, as usual.
During those first days, while
there was SO much urgent work to be
done, the question was raised about
giving servants a half holiday on Sat
urday. The answer was given rather
CURLY: mo such custom is to be
allowed" Later on, however, when the
colony was more securely establish
ed, the matter was reconsidered and
the Saturday half holiday became an
established institution, as was re-
vealed in the letter of Alsop.
**#
There were three types of servants
in Colonial Maryland: those inden-
tured for a definite period; free labor
hired by the day, month or year, and
Negro slaves. The indentured serv-
ants at first constituted by far the
largest group. But as their term of
service expired and they entered upon
possession of their fifty-acre tracts,
they became small independent land
owners, working occasionally at odd
jobs for hire and occasionally hiring
labor on their own part, to the greater
glory of Maryland. This also had a
curious effect upon the servant prob
lem. 1t promoted the status of labor
and created a spirit of free democra-
cy, but it also created a greater de-
mand for labor than could be salts
fled by the ordinary supply of inden-
tured servants and free hired help,
with the result that great impetus
was given to the institution of slav-
cry. The owners of large tracts of
land, being deprived of other supply,
went into the slave market for their
help.
This in turn tended to drive free
labor and small tenants from the
manorial estates. The lords of the
manors, therefore, found it both nee
essary and more profitable to work
their own lands with slaves rather
than to cultivate the elegant leisure
of feudal lordship. Thus the elabo-
rate plans for a Maryland bility
dreamed of by the first Lord 53alti-
more and provided for in the larry
land Charter were swept away by a
rising tide of democracy created by
the ascending servants and the de-
scending slaves.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1931-01-29

The most significant protective
measure taken by the colony in behalf
of servants was intended to protect
the servant from himself. 1t was no
part of the Maryland plan to breed a
servant class. 1t was recognized that
the habit of servitude is the chief bar
to freedom. Servants, therefore, were

A contact last night almost ended

Miss Cooper, who was handling the
