Bethesda School Case Decided.

The State Board Of Education on Friday
last rendered decision on the appeal Of DR..
John L, Lewis and Messrs. Alfred Wilson
and Adolph O. Ruebsam from the action Of
the Board OF County School Commissioners In
removing them from the position Of Trustees
of the Bethesda school for refusing to appoint
q principal teacher after the County Board
had declared the position OF principal vacant t..
The State Board In an exhaustive written
opinion sustains the action OF the County
Board In declaring the position Of principal
teacher vacant In dismissing the trustees,
and In appointing new principal teacher.
The decision refers to Section 81 Of Chap
ter 4 Of the Public School Law, providing
that
tThe Board of County School Commits
sioners shall have the general supervision
and control of all schools and shall per-
form such other duties as may be necessary
to secure an efficient administration Of the
public school system"
Also the general order Of the County Board
Of April 28, 1892, providing that
"NO appointment OF principal 10 @ school
where an assistant is employed will be con-
irmed unless the appointee holds 6rst-grade
certificate.
Also the general order Of May 7, 1907;
providing
''That only those teachers holding first
grade, frst-class certificates be employed as
principal teachers in the graded schools Of
the county"
The decision holds that the enactment and
enforcement Of these orders by the Board
was q proper exercise of authority under the
State law and that the County Board has
the power to determine the qualifications of
and 10 discharge teachers
The State Board also finds that the local
trustees exceeded their authority in under
taking TO determine the qualifications OF
teacher in opposition to the requirements Of
the County Board.
Section l Of Article of the Bylaws Of
the State Board 10 referred TO, under which
all teachers are required to take the folio wing
oath
81 will obey the school law Of the State Of
Maryland and the rules and regulations
touching my position as teacher, passed In
pursuance thereof by the proper authority"
In respect to the dismissal Of the trustees,
| reference Is made TO the written refusal of the
! trustees To appoint teacher other than the
| then incumbent, and 70 Section 81 Of Chap
ter Of the Public School Law which pro-
| vides that
sin case Of neglect Of duty, or refusal to
act, on the part Of members Of the board OF
trustees, their places shall be declared vacant
by the Board Of County School Commission
ers," etc.

to assume the duties Of local trustees and ar
point new teacher, reference Is made to the
same section Of the State statute and to the
resolution Of appointment, aud the action OF
the County Board is sustained.
The decision does not discuss the questions
raised in respect to certain alleged defects in
the teachers certificate, but arrives at the
conclusions stated upon the assumption that
the contention of the appellants, to the effect
that the former teacher held valid second
grade certificate, was correct.

Have you ever stopped to think seriously
how little 1t costs to speak a kind word
or give a word VI encouragement to those
who are trying to succeed?
There are any number of well-meaning
people who have the highest regard for
their %neighbor, but who rave a poor way
of showing their good will, and who never
consider the great value that might be
placed on a kind word from them or how
much genuine good 1t would do.
so many people save their flowers and
pleasant words and kisses for post NOR
tenn use," said an elderly woman to a
friend a few days ago. They are 80
busy with the things that concern them
that they seldom consider the happiness
Of others, and it is only when their loved
ones are removed from them that they
awake to a realization of their selfish
ness"
And ISN'T It true?
Are we not all guilty of this very fault?
We learn Of the illness or bereavement Of
q friend, and we promise ourselves that
we will contribute our share of kindness
toward making their burden easier TO
bear.
But the day passes and we forget until
1t is too late, and the kin word or the
flower which might have meant so much
to some sufferer is denied them In life.

of a dear old lady.

this girl than the most fattering compli-
ment she had ever received.
If you know anything nice about an

that such Knowledge will make them con-

good common sense, are seldom victims
Of conceit, and people who are-well. the-t
