Girls Work With Boys
The little girls in the school,
conducted on progressive educa-
tional principles, worked right
along with the boys in the con-
struction. Orchard school gradu-
ates give promise of being handy
housewives. They spend periods in
the shop each day with the boys.

Even the kindergarten has its
own tools. After a ride on a train

ringleader, they built an engine out
of boxes and cans.
Founded at kindergarten
The schools fourth graduation
will be held this June. Eleven
years ago it was founded with a
kindergarten and one teacher by
five women. inspired by Mrs. Ma
rietta Johnson of Fairhope, Ala.
Each year a grade was added. To-
day there are ten teachers.
We appeal to the children from
the interest standpoint of a study

the new director I'VE consider our
school a laboratory for daily vital
experiences. Our teachers act as
guides instead of taskmasters."
Garden Is For Needy
The group of women who founded
the school included Mrs. Honoria
Bacon, Mrs Mary June Appel, and
Miss Martha Carey, all deceased,
and MeSdames Robert Failey, G. H.
A. Cloves, and Frederick Bon Mrs.
John Carey, mother of Miss Carey
and Mrs. Appel loaned her home at
$3.50 North Meridian street, where
the school was conducted for three
years. 1t now is located on four

ty-third street.
The children learn by experience,
by making mistakes and then MAX
ing amends. They learn to express
their activities by constructing SYM
bols They do things from the be-
ginning.
In their gardens they raised to-
mato plants from seed by construct
ing a "hot bed" These with other

In recently published book, entitled John
Hanson, Our First President" by Seymour
Wemyss Smith, the author contends that John
Hanson was actually the first President Of the
United States, and that the United States was
created IN l78l, when Hanson was President
of the Continental Congress, and not In 1889.
As President Of the United States in Congress
assembled" it fell to the lot Of John Hanson to
extend to his friend Gen. Washington, the
thanks Of the Congress for victory at York
town.
Hanson lived at Mulberry Grove from the
date of his birth, April 3, 1715 until 1773 when
at the age Of So he joined the vanguard Of the

rays in every nook and corner identified with
the life Of the Father of the Country.
Charles County, the fifth oldest county In
Maryland, was first visited In 1908, when Capt.
John Smith landed at the Indian village OF
Potobaco on Potobaco Greek and treated with
the Potobac Indians. The county, named for
His Gracious Majesty, King Charles Of Eng
land was created in 1853. but its present
boundaries were not adopted until 1895 when
Prlnce Georges County was formed.
Washington is believed to have visited and
travelled in Charles County as much as In any
other section. On his trips to Fredericksburg
or Williamsburg, he generally crossed the Po-
tomac at Mount Vernon, using Poseys Ferry,
Taversed Charles County and ferried again at
Laidiows Ferry, near what Is now known as
Morgantown.
