With the exception of the representative of
the first election district, in whose family, it
is said, severe illness exists, all the members
of the School Board were present at the regu-
lar monthly meeting, which was held on Mon
day last. os s
After the usual preliminaries had been
transacted and some discussion on the average
attendance of pupils in the fall term had taken
place, an order was unanimously adopted that
until fifty pupils shall be in average attendance
at Snydersburg, in the eight election district,
about which investigation had been instituted,
only one teacher shall be employed at that
place.
On petition which had been presented to
the board relating to the subject of Teachers
salaries, no action could be taken, because
no improvement in the finances had become
prospectively apparent.
An application by Miss Mary Ann Boylan,
Is years old, for free county scholarship in
W. M. College, was approved and ordered to
be filed, to await opportunity for future con-
sideration.
An application for certain improvements,
which are urgently demanded at the Bach
mans Mills school, was considered and re-
ferred to the discretion of President Reese.
A similar application with an estimate pre-
scented at former meeting for Improvements
of the same character, but which estima tie
was then thought to be extravagant, for the
school at Ridgeville in the ninth election dis
trict, was renewed and referred to DIR. Crawford
with instructions to direct that the actually ne
cessary improvements be made, but to be kept
within the limits of the closest economy.
Inquiries in relation to the colored school
at Taneytown having been made, the Board,
in the unavoidable absence of DR.. Reindollar,
agreed to approve any proper action that the
Doctor cho III odont in relation therein
The Board also agreed that if DIR. Reindol-
lar, as is hoped, shall have appointed citizen
of Taneytown, who is approved by the Exam
liner, as teacher of a certain school, the ap-
pointment will be approved by the Board.
The service of the teachers, as far as has
been reported, was approved, except in those
cases wherein notice to the contrary has been
either verbally or otherwise given. ....f
An order was unanimously adopted requir-
ing the teachers and their respective school
trustees to cooperate at each of the schools
in executing the school-law in relation to the
effective vaccination of all the pupils in the
public schools without any exception; and it
was unanimously agreed that the ascertained
neglect of this duty resulting in an omission
to have it discharged faithfully and fully, shall
in every instance of willful neglect be follow
ed by the instant removal from service of such
negligent persons, whether a trustee or a
teacher. ..... ....... .r.
An individual application for e-examina-
ton of teacher at some early day convenient
to the Examiner, to afford opportunity for
promotion, to have immediate effect during
current service, was approved in this special
case; and at the suggestion of the Examiner,
the order was amended so that it shall have
general application to all similar cases not in
convenient to officials when the Examiner
shall judge that strict justice requires such
proceedings. ... =. HIGe. a.g
An application, asking that the School
Board shall provide a teacher for an extra
school near Winters Church, in a location
wherein a separate school district has not yet
been created, was postponed, the legal power
in the Board to agree to this proposal being
at least questionable. .. 20. ID. IL
To fill vacant county scholarship in w.
NJ. College due to the third election district,
DIR. Reindollar, by letter, nominated Mr.. G.
c. Erb, and the Board made and confirmed
the appointment of the nominee.
The Annual Report of the operation of the
public schools of Carroll county, is about
ready for transmission to the Secretary of the
State Board of Education; and the statement
of receipts and disbursements, &C., is ready
for publication in the Westminster newspapers
at the time legally prescribed.
The Board adjourned, to meet on Monday,
