deavorers showed itself on the even
ing of March %, when the c. E.
Society of Lineboro, Md, under the
auspices of the social committee, held
a "Lend-a-Hand" socal in the lecture
room of the church.
Every member was awake to the
fact that in order to have a successful
social they must each lend helping
hand. After every one had been COM
fortably seated, the evenings program
was rendered, consisting Of music,
songs, addresses, etc.
The Lineboro orchestra furnished
special music. One special feature Of
the evenings program was an address
by. the chairman of each committee

to give the idea as to the work, value
and benefit OF their committee to the
society.

Proceedings of the School Board.

The Board of School Commissioners
for Carroll county held meeting on
Monday, the 4th instant; all the Com
miSSiOnerS were present.
Messrs. Jesse P. Weybright, S. r.
Weybright, Geo. 2. Ritter and Peter
Baumgardner.- A delegation from
Keysville District, came before the
Board i'm the interest of a new school
house at Keysville. The delegation
represented that the present house is
old, too small, and badly in need of
reconstruction. The citizens of that
community claim that in providing for
the future as well as for the present,
the house now in use should be taken
away and replaced by a new two
room house.
The Board stated to the delegation
that similar requests from different
parts of the county are often before
the Commissioners for several years;
also that it is the practice of the
Board, where the improvements are
found to be necessary, to relieve the
situation just as soon as the way to
do it will appear. The members of
the delegation were informed that two
years ago urgent requests were
brought before the Board for an addl-
tion to the West End School in West
minister in order to relieve the crowd
ed condition which exists in this town.
The Board then decided that in 1909
or 1910 an effort would be made to
meet the demands BY putting an ad-
dition to the West End school house
i'm Westminster. This crowded con-
dition has been discussed at every
meeting of the Commissioners for the
last three or four months, and it is
the purpose of the Board as expressed
in these meetings, To put up the ad-
dition at the West End the coming
summer. These facts were stated to
the gentlemen on the delegation, 20
that they might more fully understand
the anxiety of the Board to give the
relief just as soon as the Commission
ers can see their way TO do Il.
It was ordered that ten dollars be
paid toward the erection of belfrey
at Freedom, Mexico and Baust'S.
This being the season when many
pupils drop out to help ON the farm,
the Superintendent was directed to
close the assistants rooms, and to
close a few schools known a. small
schools when the attendance falls be-
low the number of pupils required to
keep the school open legally and prop
erly. Usually about three known as
small schools, and four or five as-
<lst;ints belong - tliiS class.
