The committee on legislation submit
ted the following report:
Many subjects have been brought to
the attention of this committee by the
various teachers of Frederick county.
After consideration we have deemed
it wise to offer the following for your
adoption at this meeting, as well as for
the consideration of the School Board and
all others in authority:
lst. We find that there is lack of
supplementary reading works in the pri-
mary grades, and we recommend that
more material be secured.
I'd. We hope that arrangements may
be made sothat the teachers will not be
compelled to pay for janitor's services in
some of the schools of the county.
Sd. A fair Compulsory Education Law
with meals for it's proper enforcement,
is needed in our State, and it is the duty
of every teacher to recognize its value
and to aid in it's passage by the Legisla-
ture.
The fourth subject relates to change
of grammar, the one now in use being
unsatisfactory. The fifth item urges
that day be set apart for general
Teachers Meeting, so that closer or
ganization may be effected.
9th. The Maryland Legislature is now
in session. Every teacher should take
deep interest in school legislation and
use such influences as will make our sys-
TEN of schools and the position of the
teacher the very best. Some arrange
ment should be made to equalize the sal
ary conditions now existing between the
first and second grade teachers.
