RESOLUTION FOR SCHOOL
Continued from page y

transported to Crellin for the present
school term. The State Department of
Education declared, Mr.. Rathbun said,
that it had taken the matter under
advisement and would make a final
decision at the end of the present
school year.
Board President Concurs
Walter w. Dawson, president of the
Beard, concurred in Mr.. Rathbun's re-
marks and added that the Board had
met with the Hutton delegation upon
several occasions and that they had
been informed of the boards decision
several months ago.
Mr.. Dawson said the Hutton citi-
zens had taken an appeal from the
local school board and had written a
letter to the State Board, apparently
without effect. He cited the ruling the
State Board made Monday in approx
ing the action of the Allegany Coun-
ty Board of Education in CONSOLIDATE
ing public schools in that county, and
quoted Tasker G. Lowndes, president
of the State Board, "The State Board
realizes that any program of consol-
idation may cause inconvenience to
some of the parents and children af-
fected. On the other hand, in order to
provide the very best educational OPP
portunities for all the children of
Maryland, regardless of where they
live, the State Board has been com
mitted definitely over a period of
more than twenty years to a program
of consolidation"
The petition of the Allegany county
citizeps' committee against the con-
solidation Of a group of schools has
been turned down by the State Board
Of Education, it was definitely an
nounced yesterday by DR.. Albert S.
Cook, State Superintendent of Schools.
1t was also indicated at the State
Department Of Education offices yes
terday that a permit for the rebuild
ing of the Hutton school would be
withheld, in line with the State policy
to close and consolidate the smaller
schools.

Paragraph Opinions
Americans Can Shoot

Americans Can Shoot
In This Week magazine on Sunday,
there was an article showing the
trend of the times as far as Americans
becoming again "nation Of sharp
shooters" is concerned.
Interest in guns is becoming great
err among not only men but women,
boys and girls. 1t was estimated there
were at least one million active target
shooters in the country, in addition to
probably ten million hunters. And
this didn't take in lot Of shotgun
fans.
Learning to shoot and learning to
handle firearms correctly could be an
asset to any person. For the past sew
eral years the All groups in this
county have studied rifle marksman-
ship at their summer camps.
Learning now for the pleasure of it
may be valuable to Americans later
if Hitler continues his mad push for
world power and domination.
i.
Nazi Agents Plotting
What made me think that Hitler is
really planning in a big way was an
article in the December Readers Di-
gest on "Hitler's Branch Offices in
the United States"
According to the article Hitler is
exploiting the international courtesy
known as diplomatic immunity"
Under this protection diplomats have
their baggage and mail exempt from
inspection, and the houses in which
they live cannot be searched.
Hitler is using this Immunity" to
put his spies and saboteurs at work in
America and their records are kept
secret even from U. S. government
officials.
Germany has 80 consulates here and
the article states that within the past
several years the German diplomatic
representation here has trebled, with
no other purpose than to foment all
possible trouble here.
One Bund chief in the country re-
Gently remarked, america is the cas-
lest country Hitler has tackled yet
We will never have to Outright the
Americans; we have outsmarted them
already"
A concerted drive by newspapers
and the people themselves if they
would do it, might send all these de-
spicable tools Of Hitler back to the
land from whence they came. That is
where they should be.
Every week there comes to the desk
of The Republican a magazine, "Facts
in Review" from the German Library
of Information. 1t lis a most outland-
ish piece of German propaganda and
has no business being allowed to go
through the mails of the United
States Government. A complaint was
made recently Of this literature to the
local postoffice and officials there
said they would send the complaint on
to the department of justice. But so
far nothing has been heard and the
Facts in Review" continues to come
to the office.
Of course, they continue to be cast
into the wastebasket, but we wonder
how many more are being sent to peo-
pie who receive such stuff in a recep-
tive mood.
Tolerance is great stuff. Upon it
and other noble attributes this coun-
try was founded.
But / see no reason for tolerance of
such subversive elements that plot de-
struction of our very form Of govern
ment.
