High School at Adamstown Abol-
iShed by Board

Adamstown High School pupils have
been added 10 those of Walkersville as
pupils for whom Frederick county will
pay transportation charges TO enable them
to attend the Frederick High Schools.
This will mean that Adamstown will have
no high school another year.
The present School Board has set about
reducing the number Of high schools in
the county with view of reducing the
expense in school management The
principal of TIE Walkersville High School
last year is now the intermediate super
visor, and that high school has been
closed and the pupils will come to Fred
erick at the exponse OF the School Board.
Prof. Harry b. Mock, principal of the
Adamstown High School last year, goes
to Roanoke College for Women at Salem,
Va, and the pupils there come TO Fred
erick.
The School Board is now endeavoring
to have the patrons Of the Jefferson High
School consent TO have the pupils there
come to Frederick, at the expense of the
School Board. Principal w. T. Mahoney
has been appointed to position in the
Girls High School of Frederick. To
date the people of Jefferson have held out
for high school, but the School Board
believes that better training can be given
in Frederick, and is inclined to bring here
all who wish high school education.
Myersvllle is another town with high
school which the School Board desires to
abolish and to transport the pupils from
there to Middetown, which has an ac-
crdited high school. Principal W. f.
Hauver, OF Myersville, was cared for by
the School Board by being appointed to
a place at The Boys High School, but as
vet he has not accepted the place, and is
rather awaiting the outcome of the fight
which is being made to retain the high
school at Myersvllle.
