Public Education.

During the session OF County Super
intendents and School Commissioners
in Baltimore Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday OF last week. the school
affairs OF the State were pretty thor
oughly discussed, and some progress
sive steps were suggested A reso-
luton was passed suggesting that a
change should he made In the By
Laws so that School Boards may al
low teachers half pay for as many as
twenty sick days during the school
year; the present law provides for
three sick days per term
DIR. Lewis presented a strong paper
on How TO Secure Trained Teachers
for the Schools" He said that the
answer is admittedly difficult. but that
faith and courage on the part of
School Boards would help to solve
the problem, provided School Com
missioners would permit only trained
teachers TO take charge of schools.
DR.. Bucher Of the Johns Hopkins
University. made good speech on
Summer Schools for Teachers In
Maryland" Many OF the States have
established such schools, and last
summer about 100 teachers from
Maryland attended such schools in
other states. A consensus OF opinion
was to the effect that our state should
endeayor 20 have the Johns Hopkins
open such a school, provided the coun-
ties would cooperate and give sufi-
cient encouragement
THE Salary Law OF 1908" was the
subject of Mr.. McMaster. County
Superintendent of Worcester. He
said that for the school year 1908
1909 his county paid the teachers the
salaries which they had formerly been
receiving, in majority OF cases about
100000. He stated that a law suit is
pending in his county--rather than a
friendly suit-and that an effort Is
being made to get the case before the
Court of Appeals in January to have
1t legally settled so that the School
Board will have no difficulty in comply
ing with this provision Of the law.
The representatives of several eoun-
ties seemed to think that the law
should be made plain and definite
enough not to lead to needless em-
barrassment.

Weather Bureau.
The object of this article is to
state clearly and fully the actual
facts about the climatic advant-
ages of Hendersonville, North
Carolina, in order that persons at
a distance who are seeking a
health-giving climate may know
exactly what to expect to find if
they come here.
In answering the questions Of
persons who are in search of i'm
proved climatic conditions we are
confronted at the outset with
this difficulty: that such persons
in many cases do not have a very
definite idea of what they want.
A few instances will make this
clear. The dweller in the low
lands, hearing that high attitudes
are beneficial in certain cases of
disease, is apt to seek some ex-
cessive altitude He forgets that
an elevation of 1000 feet is for
most purposes as good as 10, 900
feet, and for many purposes much
better, for extreme attitudes are
liable to cause or aggravate afec-
tons of the heart, and also are
marked by extreme and injurious
variations of temperature. Again,
the dweller in a damp, cloudy re-
gion, hearing that sunlight is a
powerful germicide, thinks long
ingly of some place where there
are unclouded skies for 300 days
in the year. He forgets that an
alkali desert is not a pleasant
