Retrospect 6c Prospect tT w® i j y HIS Eastern Shore training school for teachers has now been serving the people of Maryland for five years. In each of the previous publications of this Annual the aims and purposes of the school have, from different angles, been briefly stated. To what extent have these objectives been realized ? The Board of Trustees wisely allowed the school much freedom in formu¬ lating its plan of administration and instruction. With no traditions to hamper it, the school realized the golden opportunity that confronted it, and the cor¬ responding tremendous responsibility that lay upon it, to establish worthy goals, to make them clear to its clientele, and to exert every necessary and proper effort to bring them to fruition. Five years is too short a time to afford a conclusive demonstration of the validity of the aims of a normal school, but it is long enough to justify ten¬ tative conclusions concerning its spirit, its life, and its achievements. Enough graduates have already gone into the field of elementary teaching service to enable the school administrator, the supervisor, and the patron to see what manner of preparation may be expected at the Maryland State Normal School at Salisbury. We are grateful for the favorable comments that have, in generous measure, been made concerning our work. This institution seems to have won the approval of those whose support is essential to its well-being. The future gives promise of added prestige and good-will enrollments, and of a steady, sure growth in the respect and good-will of the people of Maryland. “ ' Tis a consummation devoutly to be wish’d. William J. Holloway

Tlie Evergreens of the Eastern Shore “Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. O said the poet, Joyce Kilmer, in his poem, “Trees.’’ Now Kilmer had in mind trees of all kinds: the giant oak, the shady maple, the prim spruce, and many others just as wonderful. Could Kilmer have visited our dear old Eastern Shore and enjoyed the sight of our lovely evergreens, he would doubtless have been inspired by their beauty and steadfastness to write a poem, “Evergreens on the Shore.” Our evergreens are not only richly beautiful in their cloaks of bright green in me summer time, but they are also magnificent, clothed in their heavy mantles of dark green during the winter season. Think of those big clumps of rich green standing bold and alive before the onslaughts of snow, wind, sleet, and rain that cover, destroy, coat, and bend the bare arms of other trees! Then think of a lone tree, an evergreen, standing upright and brave upon a hill How long it has stood we can not guess, but it is still dignified, majestic, unharmed, and patient after many years of winter gales. To these great and beautiful trees we sing our songs of love and praise, and hope to shape our lives like theirs. May the troubles of life like the gales of the wind find us just as brave and patient as those single evergreens upon the hilltops!
