School Department
BY suPT. r. r.. LIVINGSTON

Robert Baldwin, a former men
Der of our school, is a member O
the Owen high school senior elias
at Owen, Wisconsin. Congratula
lions.
Research studies of school fail
ures show an average of 1879 re
peaters in the lower grades Of thii
country's schools-and somethin!
like 800 of these failures are read
ing failures.
No emblem of merit will leave
the same impression upon the mint
of youth as the high school diplo
ma. It means he has successfully
completed the first period of his
labor in life. He has learned how
to use and control his mind and
developed it to where all things
are within easy grasp of his un-
derStanding. The receipt of the
graduates high school diploma, rep
resents many years of work ac-
complished to a definite purpose,
with preparation for the higher
things of life. The gift of his di-
ploma worthily earned, spurs him
on to ambition for greater honors
and their rewards in the more ad-
vanced school of education.
Commencement IS rne big event
Of the year for both school and
community.
Problems there are today and
problems there always will be. Try
as we will, we cannot solve them
for the coming generation. But we
can do even more. We can, by ed
ucation, equip boys of today with
the kind of training that will fit
them to solve the problems of their
own day. With this ideal in mind
educators cannot mark time
they will not mark time. Your
school must not stand still regard
less of conditions. While industry
and politics hopefully wait for bet
ter days-educators are forging on
with their daily tasks assuring a
better future by building better
citizens.
These people have earned ex-
emption from the following final

Duty

Poem written by Terry Booth,
President, class of 1882, w. P. H. 81
To every man in Life appears that course
For which he seemingly is fitted best,
Although he turns his sad and hayward gaze
Upon the more inviting paths Of rest.
The byways are with bloom and beauty lined;
The path of Duty void of outward cheer;
Yet in the Eve of Life is he content,
Who from the path of Duty doth not veer.
The course of Life before me lies outspread;
The struggle of my soul doth rage amain
With false desires of a poor, weak Flesh
To dodge the ordeal Of dull Duty's plain.
All, Soul so true, within me burn anew!
Help me to answer Duty's clarion call.
Hopes of my Youth, lead on to sweet success
That l may not in LIES long battle fall.
Courage, that is strengthened by defeat,
Dwell thou now within my mortal breast;
Leave me not upon the verge of Life;
Help me now when must stand the test.
Thus shall l endeavor in the years
That pass along with Times swift onward flight,
To cling to Dutys barren, rocky way,
And climb thru darkness to eternal light.

HAGERSTOWN, Md, May IA.
The Potomac River is receding
today at the rate of four or five
inches an hour after having
reached a level of "a to Is feet
at Williamsport and other points
in this section last night.
All contributing streams are
falling back, including the Como
cocheague Creek. which was
backed up by the river at
Williamsport for several miles,
flooding and damaging Conomac
Park. the largest playground in
this section. The park and ball
field was covered to a depth of
eight feet, and small buildings
submerged and only the upper
parts of larger buildings showing
above the flood. James Colbert,
owner of the park, and several
other families, were forced to va
cate their homes. Bridges at
that point were partly sub
merged and acres of farmland
and gardens along the Potomac
and other streams were dam
aged by flooding.

ZONE RULE HITS
PRACTICE GOLF

Holding that the driving of
balls from part of a golf course
in a commercial zone into a park
in a residential zone is a violation
of the coming laws, Presiding
Judge Gus A Schuldt in Police
Court, today rendered a judg-
ment of guilty in the case Of
Edgar E. Saucomb, vice president
of Golf, Inc.
The case involved a practice
driving course at 1921 Georgia
Ave. N. w. Evidence showed the
driving tees, for which a permit
had been granted, were situated
in a commercial zone but that
the balls were driven into an
area in a residential zone.
The defense contended the zon-
ing law did not apply, since the
use of the residentially zoned
land was not changed by the
passage over it of golf balls.
Judge Schuldt will pronounce
sentence May 81, when the de-
Tense will note an appeal.
