ables us to express right activity. II
we go forth in search of work, under
standing that we possess those spiri-
tual qualities which are so much
needed in the business world today,
and holding uppermost in our
thought the desire to give of what we
have rather than the wish to get, this
spiritual thinking will direct us to
those who are in need of what we
can give. The Bible promise duke
$3.50, "Give, and it shall be given
unto you; good measure, pressed
down, and shaken together, and rum
ming over, shall men give into your
BOSOM" is always fulfilled.
Sometimes we may be asked to per-
form services which we have previ-
ously thought were beneath us, but if
we perform our present tasks
humbly, gratefully, and efficiently,
we shall soon find suitable and con-
genial occupation. :.
We can all be more active In our
expression of thanks for all blessings
by being more watchful and alert to
seize an opportunity to help others,
by doing some little act of kindness,
and giving a word of encouragement
to some one struggling under a
heavier load than we are bearing.
The thought that inactivity is re-
suit of advancing years is one that
must be destroyed. Mortal mind may
argue that we are beyond the age
when we can be Of use in business,
or, at best, that our opportunities to
engage in lucrative employment are
limited. Does God manifest failing
faculties or other infirmities? No;
that is unthinkable. Then man, His
image and likeness, cannot be ham,
pered by beliefs of age. =.
Sometimes we may be tempted to
think that we have been wrongfully
forced out of our place, to make way
for some one else, and resentment
and self-pity may try to control us.
In the only real universe, the spiri-
tual realm, there is no taking from
one to give to another. Each of us
has his work to do here and now, and
that work is the daily endeavor to
demonstrate mans oneness with God
E and to manifest the abundance Of
good which God has bestowed upon
all of His sons.

is YOUR CHILD A "SLOW
READER"

This short article is addressed to
parents, teachers, and school nurses.
Does your youngster stumble over
his reading, mispronounce words he
knows, or get poor marks in other
subjects entailing close application?
Well, that child is 'sSlow Reader
and will develop eventually into a
backward student, unable to keep up
with his class.
This is a most interesting sub
ject, about which little was known
until 1t was given scientific atten-
ton by such educators as Helen M.
Robinson, A. B. A. M, The Univer-
sity of Chicago; Emmett A. Belts,
Phi. D., Director of the Reading
Clinic of the Pennsylvania State
College; William S. Gray, Phi. D.,
Professor, University of Chicago.
Now, through proper Knowledge
and Instrumentation, this handicap
is uncovered by simple testing in the
classroom, and proper corrective
procedure is instituted.
To bring this knowledge to the
teachers and school nurses Of Mary

for Reading Clinic and Lecture

NEGRO TEACHERS PAY BILL
SIGNED

Governor O'Conor on Monday
signed bill providing for the equa-
lization of Negro school teachers
salaries with those of white teachers.
The State will pay approximately
three-fourths of the additional cost
of slightly more than 100000, the
remainder to be provided by the
counties.
An increase in the salaries of Ne
gro teachers, to bring them to the
general level, was made mandatory
by recent Federal Court decision.
Had the State not provided funds,
counties employing Negro teachers
would have been faced with the ne
cessity of paying equal salaries out
of local funds.

STATE MERIT SYSTEM
STRENGTHENED LAWS
BROADENED

The Merit System of the State
was strengthened by measures enact
ed into law through the signature of
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor last
week. In connection with the sign
ing, the Governor expressed his
pleasure in thus broadening the
scope of the Classified System, as
follows: among the Bills given my
approval, none afforded me greater
satisfaction than Chapter 524, Sem
ate Bill 375, and Chapter 492, Sem
ate Bill 221, which placed num-
Der of additional employees of the
State under the Merit System.
Chapter 524 provides that as Of
June 1, 1941, all employees of the
Maryland Penitentiary, the Mary
land House of Correction, the Mary
land State Penal Farm and Women's
Prison, except the Warden, the SUI
perintendent, the Deputy Warden
and the Assistant Superintendent,
shall. be considered a classified en-
ployee without the necessity of
examination, but with the same clas-
sification and status to which they
heretofore qualified.
Furthermore, it is provided that
such persons shall have all the rights
and privileges, including seniority
rights, accorded classified employees
to the same extent as If they had
been within the Classified Service
from the time of their respective
employment in the State Law Depart
ment, or, earlier in any other State
Department or position.
1.-The additional security afforded
such employees by reason of their
inclusion in the Classified Service
will undoubtedly work not only to
their benefit, but to the benefit of
the State, as whole, and, by broad
ening the scope of the State CLASH
fled Service from the time of their
respective employment in the State
Law Department, or, earlier, in any
other State Department or position.
The additional security afforded
such employees by reason of their
inclusion in the Classified Service
will undoubtedly work not only to
their benefit, but to the benefit of
the State, as whole, and, by
broadening the scope of the State
Classified Service, add further
strength to this most important
phase of the State Administration"
Commenting, too, on measures
enacted into law to provide greater
assistance to recipients of Old Age
and Blind Assistance who required
medical and nursing care, the Gov
ernor said: Gin the interest of more
adequate care of recipients Mary
land regulations more closely to
those of the Social Security Act, I
am giving approval to House Bill
Nos. "a and rs, Chapter 291 and
29O.
1.-THE main reason for making it
possible to pay up to $4,000 month
on Old Age and Blind Assistance
cases receiving medical and nursing
care, is to conform to the Social Sc
curity Act, whereby the State will
receive Federal matching, whereas
now, all State and Local funds are
used for such cases.
Another reason for the amend
ment was to permit the Departmnt
of Public Welfare to make reciprocal
arrangements with other states
waving residents requirements
when it is socially desirable. With
these changes it is believed the
Public Assistance Laws of our State
now match the most approved
thought along assistance lines"
