Sheol on Wednesday Of last week. Joseph
M. Cushing, Of Baltimore, presided in the
absence of Governor Lowndes.
The meeting was called to pass upon the
questions as to who had the authority to
appoint assistant teashers in the counties,
the members Of the school boards or the local
trustees of the schools. The State board
decided that the school commissioners had
authority to appoint all the assistant teachers.
This is an important decision inasmuch as
1t applies to all the counties. The law gives
the State board authority to pass upon all
matters relating to public schools and the
decision of the beard is final. The local
trustees have authority to appoint the prin.
cipals of the various schools. subject, how.
ever to the confirmation of the school com
