TEN COUNTY SCHOOLS
COMPELLED TO CLOSE
Lack OF Teachers Causing Much
Worry To The Board OF Education
OF Anne Arundel

A serious situation faces the Anne
Arundel County School authorities in
the shortage OF teachers, which has
necessitated the closing of ten of the
rural schools until teachers can be Sc
cured The situation has been brought
about through the fact that numerous
teachers after apparently accepting
positions for the just opening school
year, backed out at the last minute.
AS a result. the School Superinten-
dent. Prof. George Fox. is sending out
letters TO the various rural school
trustees asking their help. not only in
getting teachers. but in arranging for
comfortable and pleasant boarding
places in the neighhorhood OF the
schools.
1t was pointed out today by Profess
sor Fox, that for teachers of six years
training with first grade certificates
even in rural schools the pay ranges
around $500 to $500.
In addition to four vacancies in the
various class rooms of the Brooklyn
School, the following rural schools are
without teachers: Leon, Jewell, Har-
wood, Portland. Woodwardville. Port
land, Laurel, Harmans and Benfield.

expected to return, but the teaching
force not being adequate for the stu

OFFUT DISAGREES
WITH r. P. MELVIN
Baltimore COunty's Counsellor Says
Baltimore County Must Pay The
Annex Officials

Disagreeing entirely with r. p. Mel
win, counsel to the Anne Arundel
Board of County Commissioners, r.
Scott Offut, Counsellor to the Com
missioners of Baltimore County, has
given the latter body an opinion to the
effect that bills for salaries of magis-
trates and constables in the part of
the county which has been annexed TO
the city cases originating since June
1 last should be presented to Balti-
more city for payment
Mr.. Offut said that under the recent
decision of Judge Urner, which holds
that Baltimore city has jurisdiction
over all criminal cases in the annexed
territory after June / and collects all
fines and costs, makes it obligatory
upon the city to pay all costs in con-
nection with the same.
In an opinion recently filed by Mr..
Melvin with the Anne Arundel Board,
it was held that the reports of the
magistrates and constables, should be
made monthly to the Commissioners
for the remainder of this year and that
during the same period the county will
continue to pay the salaries. 1t is not
unlikely that test suit in court may
be necessary to settle the points in
volved.
