The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1881-07-16
Meeting of the school Board.

10 avoid interference with the patriotic
demonstrations usually exhibited on the 4th
which was the first Monday of July, the day
appointed for the stated monthly meetings,
the school board met on Monday, the 11th.
All the members were present. Applica-
tons from various quarters for school build
ings and extensive repairs, were urgently
pressed, but, owing to the want of funds for
these purposes, nothing of this nature possible
to be postponed, could be considered.
The old dilapidated school house at fancy
town, which, while it occupies charming To-
cation, is apparently crumbling to the ground,
has manifestly become so unsafe and unten-
able that common prudence forbids that
children be any longer exposed to the very
great and certain danger of assembling with
in its crumbling walls; and, as there are not
less than one hundred and fifty pupils, with a
prospect that there will be frequent acces-
sions to the number to be provided for in that
rapidly growing town, DR.. Reindollar, on con-
ditions that render it possible, was authorized
to proceed at once and without delay, to build
a new house to consist of not less than three
rooms, each Of sufficient capacity, in time, if
possible, to be ready for school use in Sep
TENDER, when the schools open.
Certain school houses in the districts COM
mitted to Messrs. Herring and Prugh, requir-
ing considerable repairs to render them at all
habitable, those gentlemen were directed to
proceed with all possible economy to place
those houses in as good condition as the ma
ture of the cases would admit.
A few small bills of expenses, which had
not been presented at the proper time, were
considered, passed and paid; and balance
of S2,771.7O due to Messrs. VIM. j. c. Dula.
ny Co., for books, stationery, &c., was paid
in full.
Applications from Miss Jennie L. Wemert
i Co... f-oa ahnI
arships in Western Maryland College, were
received and placed on file.
Mr.. j. A. e. Bond, with testimony which
he proposed to submit, appeared before the
Board to ask for the adjustment of what he
represented to be improper action on the part
of board of school trustees towards their
teacher in the 7th election district, and the
School Board agreed to hear the case at the
regular monthly meeting on Monday, the lst
day of August, unless the parties concerned
shall have previously and amicably removed
all cause for action, the trustees referred to,
in Justice to their school, themselves, and
their teacher, being advised to pursue the
latter course, to preserve the harmonious or,
ganization of their highly promising graded
schools, which have appeared to give so much
satisfaction so far as faithful discharge OF
the teachers duties is concerned.
Through the President, "Dulany's School
History of Maryland' and shepherd Eng
lish Grammar were submitted for inspec.,
ton and adoption, if their introduction shall
be found economical as well as expedlent.
A petition with quite number of respecta-
BILE signatures attached, was presented, ask,
ing that certain changes of teachers be eff
fected at schools named in the 9Th election
district, all of which were referred back
to the trustees and the teachers concerned,
with advice to seek counsel from a convent
ent School Commissioner.
In plack of Mr.. Asbury Algire, who declin-
ed to serve, Mr. jeremiah Ebaugh was ap.
pointed and confirmed as school trustee.

the 5th election district, Messrs. Warner
