Cecil County
ChiIdren's Aid
Concerned With Needs Of
Children For l8 Years

| The Cecil County Children's Aid
has been concerned with the needs of
children ever since. 1t believes in the
value of home life and home training.
1t is branch of the Maryland
| Children's Aid Society in Baltimore
| and is organized with Board of
| Managers composed of representative
citizens from all over the county. The
office is located in the Court House
and the work is done by the County
Executive and Secretary at Elkton.
There are at present AZ children
from Cecil County who are wards of
the Society and for whom it under
takes to give complete care These
children are placed in carefully Sc
lected homes located in Elkton and
throughout the county There are
little ones from IA months to IS
years of age-blue eyed blondes and
brown eyed brunettes with winsome
appeal. 1t is the aim of the Children's
Aid Society to give these youngsters
who for some reason have been
deprived of their own homes, as fine
chance as possible to be normal
healthy responsible members of the
community.
Our boys and girls have been high
school and college graduates, hospital
nurses, as well as soldiers, sailors
and marines who have given credit
able service to their country.
In addition to these children who
are the complete responsibility of the
agency, the Children's Aid Society
gives incidental services of prevent
i've nature such as advice and help to
parents and children who are truancy
problems or potential delinquepts in
the community.
The following story gives an ex-
ample of the type work done for the
children of the County
A little boy, Donald, aged years,
was having his yearly physical check
up at the Children's Aid Clinic. The
doctor was reviewing the record of
previous examinations which showed
the story of ricketts,, an undernour-
ished, thin, pale child with poor pos
ture and bowed legs. Doctor James
turned to Donald and his foster
mother and said, This cannot be
the same child. | find no evidence of
this trouble now" This led Mrs
White 10 tell him with pride how the
youngster had been brought to their
home rs wee baby in such pitiable
condition due to neglect in it's own
home and how the Children's Aid
visitor had come so often to consult
with them and how together they had
brought him to this healthy happy
condition. They as well as the agency
are proud to have had the RESPONSE
bility and the fun of watching him
grow and develop.

Cecil School
Mems Club

The Cecil Schoolmens Club, made
up of all the men educators of the
public school system of the county,
met in the Howard Hotel, Monday
evening, for it's organizational meet
ing. This group of men make up the
male teaching, principal and admin
istrative staffs in Cecil; the purpose
of thei" club is semi-social and pro-
fessional Regular monthly dinner
meetings have been scheduled, these
meetings taking place at various
parts os the county, the third Mon
day of each month.
Raymond M Shingler, of the Ris-
ing Sun High School faculty, was
elected president of the club. Mr..
SEingler has been a member of the
county teaching force since 1887.
Harold c. Vansickle, whose teaching
career was interrupted by hitch in
the U. 5. Navy during the recent war,
and who resumed his post at the
Perryv:lle High School during the
past scholastic year, was named vice
president. Joseph r. Morris, serving
on the North East High School fac
ulty the last two years, is secretary
treasurer of the newly formed profess
sional club.
Following the dinner Mnoday eve
ming, Superintendent Mcbride presid-
ed over the meeting until Mr.. Shing
Ter was named to the chair. After the
other officers were duly elected, dis
cussion was held concerning the ma
ture of succeeding meetings. Possible
program, types brought before the
club were, in part, hobbies (to be
presented by fellow members), out
side speakers, and entertainment.
The group expressed it's apprecia-
tion to Superintendent Mcbride for
launching the club. In turn, he spoke
his appreciation of the reception with
which his idea had met, and was es-
pecially pleased that practically one
hunderc per cent of the men had at
tended the initial gathering.
Many citizens are unaware that at
The Maryland School for the Blind
the colored blind and the colored deaf
are dlSO given all euucdtlOH. OuI Q0dI
pupils are given some very practical
training. Many learn shoe repairing
and find employment in this field
when they graduate Others take up
house painting. Both the blind and
the deaf are given an opportunity to
learn to do certain work in the laun-
dry. At the present time two of our
former pupils are attending Howard
University. One of these boys, Clare
more Sutton, graduated from Freder-
ick Douglass High School last June.
The above statements go to prove
that The Maryland School for the
Blind tries to give an all-around edu-
catoin to it spupils. 1t is doing a good
job, but it is now asking for some
financial assistance from it's friends
1t is hoped that the response will be
generous. Why not make out check
now, payable to The Maryland School
for the Blind, and mail to Mr.. Harry
man G. Bosley, Treasurer, The Mary
land School for the Blind, Ovrlea 6,

Md. School For
The Blind To Appeal
For Funds

The time has come when The
Maryland School for the Blind, now
in it's ninety-third year, finds it nee
essary to appeal to it's friends for
added financial support.
This is not a state school as many
people believe. In 1853 the following
noted citizens of Baltimore became in
terested in the blind: Benjamin F.
Newcomer, John Glenn (who was
blind), Jacob 1. Cohen, Jr., William
G. Baker, J. Smith Hollins, DR.. John
N. McJilton. These men believed 1t
was time that such handicapped
children should be educated in their
own state and not sent to Pennsyl-
vania. These original incorporators
obtained generous sums of money
from public spirited citizens and with
an additional amount of $4,000 from
the state were able to establish The
Maryland School for the Blind.
The management since that time
has been vested in self-perpetuating
board of directors. Each year the
state has given a certain amount of
financial assistance, but, If it had not
been for the very generous donations
which these men andsothers have CIV
en-, the school could not have func-
toned. 7@s
Although the state has appropria-
ted money to the school, there have
not been sufficient funds available
with which to make the necessary re-
pairs to the building nor has it been
possible to purchase new equipment.
The buildings all need to be repalnt-
ed. Tkis will cost the school $4,000.
If this is not done soon, a serious re-
to be told that the cost of living is
going up. The bill for milk and bread
tkis year will be $1,000 more than it
was last year. These are the necessi-
ties of life and they cannot be denied.
Money for such increases must be
provided.
The record this school has main
tanned during these ninety-three
years has been an excellent one.
Many of the former students and
graduates have been successful law
yers, dictaphone operators, piano
tuners. teachers, musicians, stand
operators, assemblers, etc. These are
just few of the professions and oc-
cupations followed by our blind peo-
pie.
Among our recent graduates one
finds girl studying at Peabody, two
young men now Juniors at Washing
ton College and a third Freshman
at Georgetown University
Sport fans in the city have always
been interested in watching the blind
boys wrestle. Last year this school
produced a 105-lb. champion, and a
few years ago we were able to boast
of a four-year interscholastic champ.
The work of these boys on the track
has also been noted,
