| Saturday, February 9, 1924—Page 8 THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND senator Mcintosh deplores school propaganda —refers to circular attacking ritchie budget Baltimore Countain Calls Act Unfortunate—Education Question Should Be Studied On Its Merits And Without Attack In Press, He Says. Growing agitation over the State school budget in advance of its consideration by committees of the General Assembly was deprecated on the floor of the Senate by President Mcintosh, of Baltimore county. The President's remarks gave opportunity for the first general discussion of a legislative question during the current session. Senator Mitchell, majority floor leader, presided while Mr. Mcintosh was on the floor. The "Do You Know?" campaign of Albert S. Cook, State Superinten- DEPLORES SCHOOL PROPAGANDA. . Referring to Superintendent of Education Cook's circular, Senator David G. Mcintosh, Jr., calls act unfortunate. dent of Schools, together with newspaper and public discussion, formed the basis of Senator Mcintosh's complaint. He summarized the whole agitation as "unfortunate." Mr. Mcintosh said his views on the subject were prompted by the considerable number of petitions which have come to the Senate concerning the school budget and newspaper comments, indicating confusion of the issue and bringing it into a "state of turmoil." "It is unfortunate," said Mr. Mcintosh, "to find that the Superintendent of Schools has circularized the question in the manner which he did, particularly before the Education or Finance committees considered the question." The circulars referred to called attention to cuts made in the school budget by the Governor. "I am not attacking Mr. Cook," President Mcintosh said. "I have known him for a long time and know him as a man of boundless enthusiasm. "I think, however, that this time he has gone too far. His enthusiasm was well meant, but it carried him farther than necessary and I regard his "Do-You-Know?" campaign as unfortunate. "We like to feel that the school question should be studied on its merits and without propaganda and attacks in the press. "I am sure Mr. Cook did not mean to attack Governor Ritchie. I saw a letter from him to the Governor, in which he said he was sorry the matter should have have resulted in an idea that an attack was being made. "I think it should be brought to the attention of the Legislature, the press and friends of the schools that we don't want this matter involved in a campaign or any sort. With that in view I would ask Mr. Cook, the press and the public to help us consider this question dispassionately, without talking about attacks. There should be no effort to 'bulldoze' the Legislature in doing what it may or may not think best. "It is commendable that the department of schools wants to get all the money it can, but we must take into account what we can afford to pay,' especially in view of growing sentiment for tax reduction. Senator Robb, of Allegany county, interrupted Mr. Mcintosh at this point to inquire what fund Mr. Cook had that could be used legally for the preparation and distribution of propaganda. "I do not think it is necessary to investigate that," the Senate President replied. "Of course, he has a printing fund which he may use as he sees fit in the interest of the schools. If he saw fit to use it for this purpose I don't question his motive, but I do think it unfortunate. "It is wrong to bring this thing into turmoil at this time and I believe Mr. Cook's motive was misinterpreted." School petitions reaching the Assembly included the following: Parent-Teacher Association of Fruit-land Elementary School, Salisbury-Wicomico Chamber of Commerce, Wicomico County Women's Club, County Commissioners of Wicomico county and the Democratic State Central Committee of Wicomico county. Only two bills were introduced in the Senate, one of which affected public local laws. Senator Colgan introduced the other, which would place the State in complete control of the Maryland School for the Blind. It would entail a State debt of $50,-000, he explained. ---------_o---------- CHURCH BAKES FOR BENEFIT OF BUILDING PROGRAM.

JOHN BURNS' SONS TOWSON, MD. £5 Customer Cooperation TELEPHONE ternct consists essentially in providing the iacHHies for communication. Reduced to fundamentals, it may be stated thus:— A is provided with a telephone. B is provided with a telephone. C, through wires and mechanism, connects these two telephones. Satisfaction with the service depends largely on A and B. From the very beginning their cooperation is imperative. A must call B and B must answer. Doing these things in the way which makes for good service involves:— 1—Such care in asking for the number as one would use in addressing a letter. 2—Such promptness m answering the call as one would give to keeping a personal appointment. 3—Such courtesy as one would show in making or receiving a business or social call. 4—Such clear, correct speech as one would use in the face-to-face transaction of the most important business. Each subscriber can increase the effectiveness of his telephone communication by such thoughtful-ness as he would employ in his daily life. «eff ystem One Policf One System Universal Service The Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Co. ;fmmimnnmmm;n;mfflmicmwamiK«inmiiHgM!mimro^;^^^^^ More than 60 representatives of ship owners and operators were on board the ore-carrier "Cuban," the first American-designed craft being propelled by an oil engine of the Diesel principle, which was tested out yesterday (Friday) off the Bal- UNUSUAL CASE AT SEAT.

An unusual case was tried before Judge Walter W. Preston in the Circuit Court at Towson on Thursday. Some time prior to January 16, 1922, John W. Hinson, a large land owner in the vicinity of Sparrows Point, gave Robert Oliver, colored, a large red oak tree standing along what is known as the Lodge Farm road, a public highway of the county, provided that he removed the entire tree, roots and all. On January 16 Oliver began the work of removing the tree, but before he succeeded in felling it a driver of a truck belonging to the Ver-Vac Bottling Company, was passing along the highway, stopped the truck at a point opposite the tree to inquire of the colored man the whereabouts of a certain home in the neighborhood. While the conversation was in prog i,ress the tree, which Oliver had plan Mrs. Raymond Burton entertained the Ladies' Aid Society of Waugh M. E.
