BOARD OF EDUCATION.


The regular monthly meeting of the
Board was held Wednesday evening.
All members were present except Mr..
Shamalia
The Treasurer's report was received
and filed. The report showed that the
school fund account was overdrawn to
the amount $47a.8o on the 1st instant.
The report of the Supervising Prin-
cipal was received. The report stated
that Miss Unger had resigned as teach
er in the high school to accept a more
remunerative situation at Clear6eld, Pa.
The Supervising Principal stated that
Miss Unger had made an enviable rec
ord with her classes this year and her
departure was one of the most dis
couraging events of the present year.
The report further stated:-"It is not
easy to see how we can maintain a
uniformly effective system if teachers,
as soon as they become really valuable
are to be suffered to employ elsewhere
hard earned experience which they
have acquired with US. The question
is simply one of salary and the condi-
ton of work now existing in Lambert
vile. As l have often stated, no
schedule of pay can be maintained in
the high school. But the pay should,
in each department, be sufficient to Sc
cure efficiency. Without efficiency
even small salary is money wasted"
~ mentioned two months ago the
probable necessity of employing an adj
ditional teacher in the high school for
the remainder of the year. Several of
the high school classes are too large
for successful work and others are not
and cannot be carried on for sufficient
time. When the additional pupils en-
ter in January, this condition will be
made still worse"
"Now that we are forced to fill a
high school position it seems to me
that the entire matter should be care
fully considered" /.
The Board placed an order for 10
gallons of Chloro-Naptholeum, to be
used as a disinfectant in the schools.
Mr.. Augustus Blackwell was unani-
mously elected to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the death of Mr.. Bayard.
On motion Mr.. Samuel Moon, the
following committee was appointed to
draft set of resolutions on the death
of Mr.. Bayard-Messrs. Kachline,
Koran and S. E. Moon.
Bills to the amount of 500. 28 and
the monthly and quarterly salaries
were ordered paid.
The matter of new teacher to fill
the vacancy occurring on account of
the resignation OF Miss Unger, was left
to the Supervising Principal.
The Board adjourned to meet at the
call of the President.

INSTRUCTION for FARMERS

Encouraged by the success of the
Farmers Special instruction trains
which it has been operating during
the past three years, the Pennsylvan-
Ia Railroad, will on December 9th
and 9th carry the gospel of scientific
farming second time to the farmers
in the territory tributary to the Popes
Greek Branch of the Maryland Dlvis-
ION. During last winters education al
campaign for improved methods in
agriculture special train was run
over this same portion of the Mary
land Division. Much interest wasar-
oused among the farmers and many
requests for another educational train
have been received.
The Pennsylvania Railroad inaug-
urated it's campaign for intensive
farming three years ago and since
that time large number of special
trains and steamboats, have been OPP
Grated on various divisions. The
Company is confident that these
trains have been productive of much
good and they will eventually become
great traffic producers in that the
farmers will secure better yields from
their land than they are securing to-
day. The State Colleges are cooper
ating with the Railroad Company by
giving the time of their professors
who talk to the farmers and answer
their questions based on their own
particular problems.
The Pope's Greek Special train will
leave Baltimore on Monday morning.
December 5th. and on Monday and
Tuesday one and one-half hour stops
will be made at ten stations. Al the
end of each days trip night session
will be held at the last scheduled
stopping place. At each stop four As
minute lectures will be given in the
two cars which have been converted
into lecture rooms. One lecture in
each car will be given simultaneously
and the end of the first two farmers
will be given an opportunity to
change cars in case the specific lee
ture they desire to hear is not to be
given in the car they are occupying.
The Pope's Greek Farmers Special
train will be operated by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company under the
auspices of the Maryland Agricultural
College, Department of Farmers' In
stitutes, of College Park, Md. It will
be in charge OF DIR. Richard s. Hill,
Director of the College. Talks will
be given on "Live Stock" ''Soil I'm
provement," 'The Market Farmer
aud How Farm Produce is Sold" and
1.-THE Growing of Tobacco"
Representing the Railroad Com
pany will be Division Freight Agent
John M. Gross, Superintendent A. j..

Early shopping for Christmas en-
sures the safe and prompt delivery of
your mail packages. Every year it is
the old story in the post offices of the
country. They make special prepar-
ations for the holiday mails, but they
cannot handle in the few days before
Christmas all the matter that is piled
in upon them. This fact is familiar to
everybodw. Why not recognize 1t
this year by shopping early and give
Uncle Sam a chance?
