FOR FEBRUARY
High Schools Are Closely Group
ed In Matter Of Months
Averages
POCOMOKE COLORED
SCHOOLS LEAD COUNTY

The report of public school attend
ance in Worcester County for last
month shows the high schools closely
grouped in percentage averages. They
are all in the nineties and all above
the goal which seems to have been SET
to reach; viz, 90. The general aver
age for this group falls slightly be-
low that for the same month last year
but sickness seems to have interfered
somewhat this year. For February
1888, the general average was 93.7;
for 1889, 93.3.
The individual averages for last
month for the high schools were:
Stockton, 94.S; Snow Hill, 93.8; Ocean
City, 1913; Pocomoke City, 1913; Ber-
lin, 92.6; only 2.5 points separate first
from last place.
The general average for all the ele-
mentary schools was 91.7 for Febru-
airy this year, as against S9.1 for the
same month of last year. Snow Hill
A leads the graded group with 94.5;
Bishopville, 94.3; Pocomoke A, 93.6;
Snow Hill B 93.1; Berlin A, SO; POGO
moke B, 90; Stockton, 92.6; Berlin B,
500; Ocean City, 86.7.
Whaleyville is at the top of the two
teacher schools, with 93.1; Newark,
1913; Girdletree, $50; and Atkinson,
85.3.
St. Martin, a school with no COM

Pete asked: What about my gear?" He in
dcated bags stacked beside the gangway.
You got more clothes than them?" A. K.
asked. why didn't you wear 'em, them"
Pete said with red anger in his cheeks:
Never mind the bags
The faces of the watching men we're blank,
without expression. The blackboard had two
seats A. K sat in front with Tim. Pete sat
behind. The horses trotted shoreward. Pete,
sitting behind his father, watched the corded
leather neck, the smooth play of those great
shoulders, the stubborn straight-ahead set of
his fathers head. He was sorry about those
britches Apparently A. K. was embarrassed
by his sons unfamiliar garb.
A. X. didn't say anything. Neither did Tim.
He fooled the blackboard through the raw
new town, and they plunged into the forest.
Trees had been cut down, and branches Topped
off those still standing, to make an aisle
through which their road ran. The stumps of
the cut trees had been sawed off level with the
former surface of the ground; but since then,
the ground surface had been pitted and worn
by traffic. The stumps remained like pegs on
bagatelle board, over which the blackboard
bounced like ball.
lHEY went up and up till they came to
ledges. They followed high ledges for while,
then went at random across burnt land, pick
ing their way through standing trunks of long
dead trees, lurching over down timber bedded
in the muck. Pete held on with both hands.
He wondered whether Tim would ever breathe
the horses.
They plunged into a shallow, gravelly
stream and followed it for half an hour or 50,
till they came to cascade four or five feet
high. Tim said, unnecessarily: Whoa back"
The horses stopped.
A. K got out. He lifted the bigger pack
basket, swung it to his shoulders, set the
tump line. He picked up one rifle. He said to
Pete: "Them're yours. Come on" Before Pete
got the other basket on his shoulders, A. K.
was already striking up out of the brook bed
toward the high land. Pete followed him. The

didn't see anyone who looked the way Pete
ought to look. The gangplank ran out; and
then little man came toward A. K. and A. K.
shuddered with dreadful premonition.
The little man had little mustache. He
was about the size of half-pint of rum. He
wore nice new corduroy coat with patch
pockets; trousers that fared out above the
knee like pair of skirts; shiny leather boots
that came up almost to the knee. The boots
shone in the sun.
There was water boy youngster seven
teen or eighteen years old, just learning to
chew tobacco, whose job it was to go up and
down the dock with pail of water and tin
cup. The water boy spat toward those shining

boots. The pretty little man saw him do it,
and he looked at the water boy; but the water
boy picked up his bucket and went on.
The little man came toward A. K. The
water boy said something to man who took
a drink from his pail, and the man laughed.
The little man reached A. K He smiled. He
said: Hello, Father!''
A. K. felt pretty sick. He didn't speak. The
little young man explained, I'm Peter!"
A. K. looked all around. This was worse
than his worst fears! Forty men were watch
ing, and thirty of them were within hearing.
A. K. had reputation to maintain. He said:
Il bet you smell sweet, Pretty Britches!"
The young man colored little. He looked
almost mad, and A. K. had moment hope
of him. Maybe Pete would swear or something.
But Pete didn't swear. He grinned, and
then he looked down at his pretty pants like a
pair of balloons, and said: Il had my doubts
about them myself, but they're old and COM
Portable. What about the boots? Will they do?
I've hunted quail in them"
A. X. jerked his thumb toward the buck
board. He said: Get in!'

Quints Are Too Fat, So
They Must Quit Potatoes

CoLLANDER, ONT.-The Dionne
Quintuplets have been put on a
diet because they are little too fat,
DR.. Allan Roy Dafoe announced.
The diet cuts down on starches and
sugars. Potatoes are banned COM
pletely.
'The girls are a little annoyed"
DR.. Dafoe said. ''The first time
they were denied potatoes, we told
them they were getting too fat. but
the explanation didn't satisfy them"
They pointed to their nurses with
the observation they were "a little
too fat, too" AS a result Nurses
Molly O'Shaughnessy and Louise
Corriveau had to give up potatoes.
The quintuplets were FIVE years
old May %. At their last weighing
they registered as follows: Marie,

President Gets Plain Mad
The Way Things Are Going

1t might be proper at this time to
call attention to another phase Of
the situation here, although it can
hardly be said to be a part of the
circumstance that have been dis
cussing.. Lately, Mr.. Roosevelt has
had his Dutch up" so to speak.
and has not minced words. For ex-
ample, he called in Lyle Wilson.
head Of the United Press bureau
here, and denounced Mr.. Wilson and
his organization for sending out dis
patches which the President said
were untrue. These dispatches. or
one, particularly, told Of a purport-
ed split between Mr.. Roosevelt and
the able and patient Secretary Hull
Of the Department of State. Their
differences were reported to be over
the Presidents policy on neutrality.
Anyway. the incident wound I'D with
the President taking the almost un-
precedented action of issuing a pub
lie statement accusing the United
Press Of Justification Of the facts.
This series Of incidents came
after many reports were in circula-
ton at the Capitol that Mr.. Roose.
welt was mad about the way things
were going. Whether these reports
were true or false, they were seized
upon by Republicans and by the
Democrats who no longer want any
part of Roosevelt policy. They
were spread in the most fanciful
fashion and there was no opportu-
nifty overlooked by which those old
meanies around the congress could
add to the Presidents discontinue.
OF course, all Of this is part Of
the great game Of politics.

In California there are too
many wandering folks from
dispossessed farms and from
dust bowls, who go from
farm to farm helping in the
harvesting of crops. It is
estimated that about 100000
of these folks are spending a
few days at each job trying
to make a living as they go
from each place. 1t is a
grave problem and one not
easily solved. There are
bands of these wanderers liv-
