Meeting of the School Board. The School
Board held a meeting at Towson on Wednes-
day with the president, Mr.. Thomas B. Todd,
in the chair, and Mr.. A. s. Cook, secretary.
The Board decided to abandon the plan to
purchase the Dread property, near Glencoe,
Northern Central Railway, for an agricultural
school on the ground that the proposition was
too large an undertaking.
While the Board was considering plans to
purchase a piece of property near Sparks
Station and erect on it an agricultural high
school to take the place of several ne-teacher
schools it had been rumored that the Dread
property and buildings could be purchased at
a low figure. An effort was made to secure an
ho " uUh failed
the Board met number of residents at Dread
and thoroughly discussed the situation. The
result was that it was found that the farmers
would insist on the consolidated school being
erected at Sparks Station, even though the
agricultural school was established at Dread,
and the Dread plan was consequently practi-
cally abandoned at the meeting.
The Board will purchase the lot at Sparks
Station and have plans prepared for the new
building, which will be the first of its kind in
the county.
A delegation from Timonium appeared be-
fore the Board and reported that lot could be
purchased at that place for school purposes,
containing one acre of ground and fronting
not less than $50 feet on the York road. The
proposition will be considered.
