"The Proper Administration Of School
! Affairs. This was the subject of q paper
by Mr.. John S. Wilson, member of the Balti-
more County School Board, before the
Teachers Institute on Tuesday. In part Mr..
Wilson said
THE Board of County Commissioners has
shown liberal spirit in providing for the rum
ming of the schools, but in the matter of pro-
viding buildings, am sorry that cannot say
as much. The amount levied in the past has
been barely enough TO erect the buildings that
are absolutely necessary and not sufficient to
provide for any but the cheapest houses. The
county erects commodious and substantial
station and engine-houseS, but when il comes
to provide buildings for the education of our
children the cry of extravaganza is raised.
Why should we not aim to put up buildings
as comfortable and as we builtfor this purpose,
where large portion Of the lives of teachers
and pupils are spent, as we do for our private
residences The extent and wealth of our
county, and its position in the Common
wealth demand that we should take the lead in
the erection of better and more substantial
class of school buildings more in keeping with
modern ideas as to heating and ventilation
houses to which we could point with pride as
models of school architecture"
Mr.. Wilson further stated that the resources
and revenues of the School Board, as shown
by the last report of the secretary, are derived
mainly from two sources-viz.. State and
county-that from the former amounting to
S4S,574.97, contributed from the State school
tax, the free school fund and the free book
fund. The county, he said contributes $16-
500 for the running expenses of the School
Board and &c., 900 for buildings.
''This," said Mr.. Wilson, us large amount
of money for school purpose, but, If you con-
slider the extent of our county, the number OF
pupils attending our schools, the number of
teachers employed and the buildings to be
erected and cared for, the sum does not seem
so large, after ALL"
Mr.. Wilson then turned his attention to the
matter of the classification of teachers certih-
Gates, which, he said, had received little at
tention recently and as a result some of the
teachers found a shortage in their checks.
There was some applause when he. assured
his listeners that as soon as the examiner and
his assistant found time to visit the various
school certificates will es pronarll slessed and
those who have been teaching previous to the
beginning of the year will receive the full pay
for the entire year if they hold No. certif-
Gates.

Mr.. Wilson in Reminiscent Mood.-Mr.,
s. Haven Wilson, an esteemed subscriber to
THE UNION at Upper Falls, 18th district, writes
US as follows:
81. so in reply to one of your little green me-
mentoes' of the past year. l would like to pay
my subscription to THE UNION for or years
in advance, but am afraid of increasing your
already poor opinion of the third precinct of
the 18th district. 1t is chills, mosquitoes, and
poor grade of 'tanglefoot' believe you think
we are noted for notwithstanding we have q
Congressman and a County Commissioner
among US.
I'm one of your late issues you state that
January, 1901, THE UNION enters on its SD
year. In 1S49, think it was / was going to
boarding school to Mr.. Bland, on the Raven
Rocks road, between Warren and the site OF
Westerman's old mill. In 1850 we moved to
Sherwood Academy at Cockeysville. Carpen-
tiers were at work that year on some buildings
across the York turnpike. that the Baltimore
County ADVOCATE was published in later. What
impresses it on my memory is that one of the
carpenters made me q rabbit trap, for which l
paid him levy and that Joshua F. Jockeys
negro man Ned, stole several weeks after
wards. Ned confessed to me later that when
he stole the trap it had in it a mink and
an opossum. You can believe as much of
that as you choose, as Ned would pass for a
first-class liar even in these days. Then there
was old bow-legged, cock-eyed 'Cy,' another
one of Mr.. Jockeys negroes, who used to
boast of great feats of strength, and offered to
bet us boys about the wonderful things he
could do.
Some of the happiest days of my life were
spent around Cockeysvile. In those days
my observation extended, laid in at least two
barrels of whisky to while away the long
winter evenings. Wishing you expansion to
the fullest extent for 1901" &c.

Report of the Late Grand Jury.-The
December term grand jury in its report sub
mitted 10 the court on the 18th inst, set forth
that William Daniels, colored attorney of
Baltimore, had persuaded several witnesses
not to testify before that body. The jury also
called the attention of the court to the fact
that Policeman Terrence Doyle of Gainesville,
had assisted in compromising felony When
the report was handed to Judge Burke he read
ii carefully and said
Gentlemen / observe that you make a
grave charge against member of the bar. /
request that you amend your report by stating
the name of the attorney, that | might rule
that he be required to show cause why he
should not be disbarred."
The Jury then retired and affixed the name
of William Daniels as the attorney referred to.
The report in regard to the charge against
officer Doyle stated that night assault had
been committed at Gainesville, and the jury
had found that Policeman Doyle had per-
suaded the person assaulted to agree not to
prosecute for a consideration of money.
The case in which Doyle is said to have
compounded felony is that of Philip Kilen
and Stephen NJ. Kavanaugh against whom
the grand jury returned an indictment for
+ assault and robbery alleged to have been COM
mitted on William G. Ray on the night of
September 3.
The Jury investigated 43 cases, examined
1O4 witnesses, found 20 indictments, and dis
missed p cases.
