Teachers Hold Successful Meeting AT
q meeting of the Assistant Teachers Associa-
tion Of Baltimore County, held last Saturday
afternoon in the State Normal School. Balti-
more the chieftopic discussed was the division
of the teachers salary relative to absentees.
When teacher employed in the county loses
day the amount deducted from the salary is
determined By dividing the amount of salary
received per annum by 200. 10 the city the
amount received by the teachers is divided by
300 and it is said the same method is used by
the boards of education in other cities.
The county teachers are endeavoring TO have
a resolution adopted by the School Commits
sioneIs in which the amount of salary the
teachers will lose by absence at any time will
be determined in the same way as in Baltimore
and other cities. Some time ago committee
of ladies representing the Assistant Teachers
Association appeared before the School Com
missOners and presented this resolution, which
had been passed by the association. The Board
promised to take the matter up at the next
meeting and then confer With the association.
As yet the association has heard nothing
from it.
At the meeting last Saturday number of
the ladies condemned the treatment they
claim they are receiving at the hands of the
school officials. They said their request had
been treated coolly and had not been given the
attention it deserved. A resolution was adopted
for the same committee to wait on the School
Board again aud present their claim once more.
Theteachers are determined to push the matter.

Faversham at the Auditorium.-Wi William
Faversham will be the attraction at the
Auditorium next week. During his eight APP
pearances he will present two plays. At all
performances, except Thursday and Friday
evenings he will present Stephen Phillips
famous play, "Herod, and on Thursday and
Friday evenings he will beseen in "The World
and His Wife" his success of last season. OF
''Herod," which will be the opening bill, there
has been a vast deal of favorable comment.
AS a spectacle, it takes first rank among
modern productions. Two hundred people are
employed in the play, and the performance
has been generally commended. The theme
of the play deals with Herod's love for bis
queen, Marianne. Herod himself was an up
start, and not Jew. Conferring great adj
vantages on his people, be was still despised.
A point to be remembered is that HerOd does
not die at the end of the play, as some have
supposed. He lived 30 years after the incident
related in the play.
Charles Frederic Nirdlibger's play, The
World and His Wife," which will be presented
Thursday and Friday evenings, is founded on
Echegarays Spanish masterpiece, Ell Gran
Galeoto. The title suggests the theme OF the
play, or rather what may be accomplished by
wagging and slanderous tongues. In the origi-
nal "Galeoto represents every body. 1t is
the busy tongue of they say" the lips of
common report" the voice of 'public opin-
ion. the whisper of needless gossip"
For the week of December q, John Mason
in 1.-THE Witching Hour" will be seen at the
Auditorium.

An Appeal For Help that Should be

| Judgment the police of Baltimore county are
| remiss in their duty in falling to run to earth
| persons who have been robbiDg hen houses,
pigeon GOODS, refrigerators aud ice boxes and,
most despicable of all, setting fire to dwellings

recently in Govans and much property has
been destroyed aud many lives endangered.
| The fire on Winston avenue, near lvanhoe
/ avenue early on Sunday morning, was clearly
| the work of an incendiary. ALI other fires had
suspicious circumstances surrounding them
| and were the work of one person or one get OF
| persons. Life is valuable and so is property.
| Persons in Govans pass their nights in fear and
| trembling, so far has the fear Of incerdiafy
