The State Board of Education, com
prising Gov. Lloyd Lowndes, president;
Prof. l.. b. Prettyman. secretary; Joseph
Nj. Gushing. of Baltimore; u. p. Whar-
ton, of Worcester; Rev. J. G. Nicholson,
ID. d.. of Baltimore county. met Friday
of last week Mt the State Normal School
Baltimore. and took action on the Wor-
cester County School Commissioners
cases. The resolutions adopted by the
Board read as follows:
The State Board of Education hav-
ing carefully considered the petitions of
Mr. Asbury c. Riley and Harry p. Dale,
of Worcester county. has determined
that under the constitution and laws of
Maryland the State Board of Education
has no jurisdiction over removals of
school commissioners by the Governor.
THE jurisdiction in cases of removals
of school commissioners is confined to
cases in which member of a School
Board has been removed by the votes
of majority of the members of the
Board. and in which the removed MEM
Der has appealed TO the State Board of
Education within 10 days after his re-
moval"
We understand that an appeal to the
Board to interfere in the school trouble
was made, and as, seen by the above
resolutions, they agreed they could do
nothing.
