amounted to St25 per year. W lth
few individuals there was slight de-
crease in salary, as for instance III
cases of teachers of long experience
who did not happen to have been teach
ing in this State many years. A. this
time the accounts indicate that the to-
tai increase in tie amount paid for sal
aries will be nearly $4,000. Ult0rtu~
nately for this county the levy was
made several days before the law was
enacted which, among other things, re-
quires that the County Commissioners
shall levy sum sufficient to provide
for the increased salaries. AS conse-
auence we had only an amount equal
to that provided for the previous year
for expenses. Even by most rigl
economy it has been impossible to keep
our expenditures within the apprCprIa-
tions, and there will be a deficit. much
to my regret, in the operations Of the
wear Just ended. The County
sioners very literally added, last
March, 5000 to the amount which had
been levied for the past two years, SO
we may have sufficient resources for
the coming scholastic year. We shall,
however, have to ask that some proVl-
sion be made for the deficit of the cur
rent year.
The demand for additional school
facilities in the upper section of the
county is still pressing. Much has been
already done to meet ibis demand, and
moro is contemplated. The school
work is growing at a rapid rate, and
additional revenue is greatly needed.
The coupons on Bren twood School
Ronds amountinp to StGO less the tn
terest which had accrued at time of
sale, had to be met with funds from
the General Fund and reimbursement
should be made. recommend that the
County Comm .ssioners be requested to
levy each year fund sufficient for pay
ment of coupons on all school bonds
and for sinking funds, entirely inde-
pendent of and distinct from the re-
sources provide for maintaining the
schools,

sity. These and other fatal accidents
which occurred emphasize and justify
the conclusion that the game of foot.
ball, as now played by athletes, is
too dangerous a sport to be encourag-
ed or even permitted. There must
beradcal changes in the methods OF
playing this game. All forms of
play which tend necessarily and in
herently to imperil the lives of the
PLAYERS must be eliminated. The re-
ferees must, in Difference to public
opinion and with proper regard for
human life, enforce the rules rigor
ously against methods of play which
place a premium on disaster.
Otherwise the game as played this
season and in the past must be put
under the ban. It would be far bet
ter to abolish it absolutely than to
permit football to continue under
present conditions.
The game of football as played
this year and in past years, with
disastrous consequences to many
players, is not sport in the true and
best sense of the term. 1t is desir-
able, of course, that that the young
men at our Military and Naval
Academies should have athletictrai
ing. 1t is good for them in every
way when the training is scientific,
wholesome and in moderation. The
same is true of all students in colleges
and universities. Physical exercise
in the open air and in gymnasiums
has distinct value. 1t makes for
that most valuable of combinations,
the sound body and the sound mind
But, while it is good thing to de-
velop the muscles of our your athletes
to give them physical stamina and
confidence in themselves, it is not
desirable in any point OF view that
their strength and endurance should

now played, every players life is in
imminent jeopardy. There are ath.
letic games, which commend them
selves to the majority of lovers of
sport, from which danger h. 8 hcf n
reduced to the minimum. In these
games there is abundant opportunity
for athletic development, for testing
the powers of endurance. They af-
ford genuie pleasure to the spectator
as well as to the player. But the
game of football, with its 'piling up ,
plays, its, "shock tactics" and it's
"scrimmages, is not defensible as a
sport or pastime. It must be
modified or it must go. 1t is not
play, but in a sense it is war. 1t
has claimed too many victims al
ready without serving any useful or
admirable purpose. Make football
safe and humane sport, in the best
sense of the word, or abolish it.
This is the judgment and demand OF
enlightened public opinion. -Balti-
