New Rule Is Invoked.

Seeking to have the kindergartens and
first-grade classes get off to a more uniform
start, new regulations concerning entrance
to these classes. allowing any children who
will reach the required age by the end of
the first term of the school year to enter
the classes in September. have been adopted
for Montgomery County.
Thus children may enter Kindergarten in
September if they become years of age
at any time up to February of the follow
ing year, and likewise can enter the first
grade if they become years of age at any
time up to February following.
Under the previous provision the children
had to reach the required age by the
December following the opening of the
schools. which caused some conflict.
The new provisions, DIR. Edwin Broome.
superintendent of schools. stated. allow
more children to enter the classes when
schools open in September and keep them
from dribblng in all during the first term.
upsettine the classes. After they are en-
rolled the school authorities then have
power to change any Of them where place
ment in other grades will be advantageous
to the pupil, DR.. Broome said.
Another new regulation adopted this year
concerns the celebration Of special days
as designated by State law. The county
has no direction with regard to these days
DR.. Broome said, as the law provides that
the schools shall be in session as usual, but
the new provision sets one time for all the
schools to hold their exercises and dismiss
the pupils.
These special days include Washington's
birthday anniversary. Armistice day. Mary
land day, Arbor day and Memorial day.
Under the new regulation classes will be
held until 2 O'Clock, at which time special
exercises will be held. the pupils to be
dismissed for the day at the close of the
program.
Also made a part of the school law this
year is a provision that fire drills shall be
conducted twice each month during Sep
,ember, October and November and once
each month thereafter during the school
wear.

West Virginia, and the District of
Columbia are In residences.
Telephone officials for some years
have been stressing the Importance
Of subscribers having adequate tele.
phone service in the home, not only
as a convenience and to fit in with
modern methods Of living, but also
for emergencies. There are almost
daily occurrences which show that
telephones in the home in cases Of
emergency are real asset
recent occurrence in Washington
was that Of mother who called for
doctor. The operator, recognizing
from the excited tone of the sub
scriber that something was wrong,
asked If she could be of service. The
mother replied that her baby was
choking to death, and would the ope.
rator please get doctor. A super
visor took over the call Immediately
and suggested to the mother that she
try artificial respiration. The mother
stated that she did not know how.
The supervisor. who was a graduate
OF one Of the company's health course
classes, gave her the necessary in
structions and then called several
doctors, but unable to reach one,
called the fire department rescue
squad. When they arrived the baby
was breathing normally. The mother
called the supervisor later and thanked
her for her assistance and commended
her for her knowledge of first aid
Another instance related by tele-
phone officials is that of a telephone
subscriber who is blind. He asked
the operator for help. A supervisor
learned that the oil burner which
had just been installed in the house
was leaking badly. and he was afraid
that something might happen. He did
not know the name of the company
which had installed the equipment.
but asked the supervisor to help him.
She Immediately supplied the tele-
phone number Of an oil burner euuip-
ment company, which could make the
necessary repairs, and In a short time
the repairmen were on the job, adjust.
ing the trouble
An operator answering a signal on
her switchboard. heard a call for help.
1t seemed that member of the family
in moving a piece Of furniture had
slipped. with the result that a heavy
chiffonier had fallen on him. Being
alone in the house, the man could not
secure aid until some member of the
family arrived, which might have been
several hours. An extension tele-
phone, Jared off of its stand by the
fall, enabled him to tell the operator
of his predlcament. This emergency
call was referred to the fire rescue
squad. who responded Immediately,
and released the man. The subscriber
Immediately called the chief operator
and expressed his appreciation of the
a.ortness of tie Operator in the emer.

Resolutions Of Respect.

At meeting of the directors of The
First National Bank of Gaithersbure, Nd,
held September 8. 1881. the following
resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, 1t is with deep feeling of sad
ness that we inscribe upon our records the
death of lenatius T. Fulks, who was a
charter member of the bank and director
since 1891 until his death, August 23, 1881.
He was also charter member of the
Perpetual Building and Loan Association
and President of same since its organiza-
ton, April, 1896.
In his younger days he taught school
for time, was also in the mercantile
business for about thirty years. and later
was President of the Gaithersbure Milling
and Manufacturing Company. He also
served as Mayor of Gaithersbure and as a
member Of the Town Council. and up to
the time of his death conducted his farm
Summit HalD.
Mr.. Fulks was a man of exceptional
business abilities and good. sound judy
ment. even in his advanced age his mind
was clear and active. He will be sadly
missed.
He was always kind and helpful to those
who needed his advice. We will miss our
friend, Mr.. Fulks. who had nearly reached
the century mark-ninety-nin years. one
month and seventeen days.
We extend to his family our sincere
sympathy at this time in their sorrow.
1t is further resolved. That the foregoing
resolutions be spread upon the minutes
of this meeting, that copy be sent to the
family, and that the county papers be re-
quested to publish the same.
