Soon II was noticed that the Ger

And then a young sub-lieutenant
came out OF the line and asked.

MAY LOSE APPROPRIATIONS.
State Investigates Status OF High
Schools.

The State of Maryland has been
donating a handsome sum of money
TO the various educational institutes
which have been designated by the
State board as high schools.
These schools have been divided
into two groups. First group
schools, under the law, must have
an enrolment of 80 pupils, four
academic teachers, two special
teachers and four year course a.
the end of which those GRADUATING
are given certificates. The State
gives such a school $4,000 per an
mum. The second group schools are
required to have an enrolment O.
S5, with two grade teachers and one
special teacher. This grade of
school receives $1,4O0 from the
State.
No school can get this additional
financial help from the State unless
certified to the Comptroller by the
State Board of Education.
The State Board has been making
a quiet investigation of all the higl
schools of the State. This has re-
suited in the discovery that il
several of the counties the standard
has not been kept up, and this will
prevent the State board from certify
ing such schools as high schools
The State Comptroller will cut of

which have. failed to live up to the
requirements will find that they will
