the very beginning of our American
school system.
One of the first schools in Ha-
gerstown was taught by Ann Rawl-
ings She taught ready sewing
Towering, marking, and open work"
There was also a small English
school in Hagerstown in 1890, but
the teachers name is not known
About this same time, Hagerstown
had its first instruction in music too,
this in the form of Mr.. Spicer's vocal
music school; and our first music
store appeared, when Hart and Ro-
chester obtained supply of music
books and offered them for sale.
In January of 1893 there appeared
another school in Hagerstown. A
certain Mr.. Jones and his accom-
plished wife came up from Annapo-
lis and opened a boarding school,
for the purpose of "the improve
ment of young ladies'" The good
wife was put in charge of this school,
and here is list of the accomplish
ments for which she was offering
instructions to her students: ready
writing and arithmetic, tambour and
Dresden, English and French en-
broidery, drawing and painting in
water colors, geography, filigree and
riband work, plain and colored need
lework of all kinds, instrumental
music, seed, shell and paper work. :"
After opening the above school,
the poor woman lived only one year.
At this same time, Mr.. Jones had
opened up school for young men,
offering them English, grammar,
ready writing, arithmetic, book
keeping and morals
In those days some unusual sub
jects were offered. One William
Kerr taught animal magnetism, and
how to cure diseases. All young
ladies were taught art needlework,
as that was something considered
necessary for all ladies. Many folks
still have some beautiful and skill
fully made Samplers" made in
these old time schooldays.
Shortly after 1900, we find fine
school in Boonsborough. There was
room for a hundred students; tut
ton was from one dollar to three
dollars per quarter, and this price
covered two branches of study for
each student. The school described
some extra advantages for students
in offers to attract them to the school
the delightful and healthful To-
cation of the village and the morality
of the villagers"
1t was now nearing the time when
the nation was awakening to the
need of a free school system In
1925, the citizens of Boonsborough
sent a petition to the State Legisla-
ture, for free schools. In the next
year an act was passed for the en-
tire State, granting free schools, but
subject to the approving vote of each
county. The people of Washington
County, by majority by over five
hundred votes out of nearly three
thousand, voted to reject the new

Last week, also, told about one
of the earliest schools in the County,
that of Bartholomew Booth, near the
junction of Antietam and Beaver
Creeks. Sometime after this, about
1870, the following advertisement
appeared in one of the Hagerstown
papers: "a gentleman who can
teach English and Latin wishes to
have encouragement in a private
family, or would take upon him
the care of a public school," OF
course this was long before the time
of the events l told about in the
school at Broadfording: this was at

by Mary T. Davenport, Nutritionist
Delaware State Board of Health
The Nutrition Service has many
friends and acquaintance who
want to cultivate an enjoyment of
eating liver but, up to the present,
have failed. We recognize the
right of all people to dislike few
foods and we have never placed a
must on any one item. Nature has
distributed our food values liber-
ally enough that no one food is in
dispensable. However, so many
people know of the extreme con-
centration of food values in liver.
They know, too, that liver is
among our less expensive meats
today. eve recommend beef, lamb
and pork liver for their higher
food value and lower cost) They
want to enjoy it and make an hon.
est attempt to learn. To them we
offer another tested recipe which
we feel can win a few more votes
