The Allegany School trouble.

A meeting of the school board of
Allegany county was held Thursday
of last week. with Drs. Gt tzendan-
ner and Fundenberg present, which
was very lively and interesting. DR..
Fundenberg offered an order on the
treasurer for Sl87 80 for salary to JAS.
M. Shober during the period when
he was contesting examiner, and
Sl6.3l for extra expenses, making
S203.S1 in all, and the order was
passed. Treasurer j. w. S. Coch-
rane stated to the board that he
would not pay Shober the money
until he referred the matter to the
State Board of Education, as he be-
lieved the order to be illegal, and
that himself and bond would be liza
bic if he paid it. Considerable dis
cussion ensued, during which the
two doctors used some strong lam
guage, demanding to know what the
State board had to do with their af-
fairs, and whether the Examiner
proposed to involve them in another
law suit, etc. The Examiner was
firm, however, and refused to pay
over the money until he had com
municated with the State Board of
Education.

Census.

The following is the circular is.
sued by E. H. Gittinger. Esq, Su-
peryisor of the Census for Western
Maryland:
"Enumerators will be selected
without reference to their political
affiliations the appointments will
be made with reference to physical
activity, and to aptness, neatness
and accuracy in writing and the use
of figures. These requirements are
scarcely more in the interest of the
census than in the interest Of the
enumerator himself. Unless the Of.
ficer appointed be fairly proficient in
all clerical exercises, he will find his
duties very trying and his pay very
meagre. 70 appoint old or broken
men 10 this duty las Supervisors
will, on all sides, be pressed to do)
would not be an act of charity but of
cruelty. Young men are preferred.
Country physicians, within the
circuit of their usual practice, would
often be found excellent enumera-
tors. Their knowledge of vital con.
ditions, their appreciation of the i'm
portance of trustworthy statistics, to-
gether with their knowledge of the
history of families, would combine
to make returns alike of deaths and
of the living population from officers
of this class especially valuable.
There would also be the practical
consideration that men of this pro-
fession are, as rule. already "moun-
ted, and their service in the capacity
of enumerators would involve no
expense whatever for outfit.
"School.nasters haye largely been
found in England among the best
qualified enumerators. Accustomed
to keep lists and make reports, al.
most uniformly accurate in accounts,
trained in punctuality and precision
and accustomed to enforce them upon
Others, the teacher, within his school
district, would generally do his work
rapidly, neatly and accurately"
The enumeratOrs will be appointed
this month and the census taken dur
ing the month of June.
