JANITOR AT EASTPORT
SCHOOL GETS INCREASE

Because of the election, the regular
November meeting of the Board of
Education of Anne Arundel county,
which should have been held on the
first Tuesday OF the month, took place
yesterday. with a full attendance OF
the members. Nothing Of outstanding
importance came up for considera-
tion, and only minor matters were dis
posed of during the rather short
meeting. Two appointments as trus-
tees of schools Sere made. that of
Charles Wayson. at Davidsonville, in
place of Harry Duckett. and that of
Grant Gather, to the colored school,
No. 6. Fourth district, above Arnold's.
Several letters requesting additions
to. o rchanges in, school work were
received by the board; but in each
case the requests were found to be
mpracticable under present condi-
tions.
Miss Katharine Walton, the artist
made a plea for the appointment OF
a drawing teacher in the Annapolis
schools, but, while recognizing fully
the Importance OF such instruction.
the board found itself without the
money to carry it out.
Another communication was from
the Patrons Association of the STAN
ton school, asking for shorter hours
OF attendance for the children. This
the board was unable to grant be-
cause the hours are set by law and
may not be changed.
Increase JanitOr's Salary
After granting an increase in the
salary of the janitor of the Eastport
school, amounting to SO for each
school month, all bills presented were
gone over and ordered paid. How
ever, sveeral exceptions were made,
where cleaning expenses in one or two
school houses seemed unreasonable
and unauthorized, and these were or
dered investigated before payment is
made.
