In the consolidation of schools is
whether or no the consolidation of
several school districts for the pur.
pose of organizing a grade school will
build up in the community a school
system that will do the work of edu-

Whether the school tax may be in

There are several instances in this
county where consolidation resulted
in lowering the school tax, but this
should never be the motive in consoI-

the school tax through consolidation

and wherever the conditions are such
that the transportation would fix a
burden upon the proposed CONSOLE

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
School Heads and County Commits
siOners in Joint Meeting.

A joint conference between the
County Board of Education and the
Board of County Commissioners was
held in the Court House at Oakland
one day last week, during which meet
ing a full and complete discussion of
the financial needs of the schools dur
ing the coming school year of 1919
1920, was thoroughly gone into by
both of these county boards. The
meeting was held preparatory to lay
ing the levy for the schools for next
year, which is to be laid by the Board
Of County Commissioners. The Re-
publican will publish next week a
more complete report of the confer
ence and the decisions arrived at.
In this connection, The Republican
calls attention to the article upon
the subject of teachers salaries, pub
hshed elsewhere in this issue, and
which is being sent broadcast over
our country by the National Educa-
tional Association, which article gives
a new view of the low salaries pre-
vailing for the important work of
teaching in our public schools.

Been Placed In Local Streams.

Several large consignments of
brook trout have been received in
Oakland during the past week from
the new state hatchery at Lewistown,
Frederick county, for distribution to

ton thus far has been in charge of

vile and to other points along the
line of the Western Maryland Railway
in Garrett county for distribution and
at later date rainbow trout, black
bass and other species of the finny
tribe will be placed in the streams
of the county.
The season for the shipment of
brook trout being now past, the state
hatchery will be glad to receive Or
ders and supply applicants with rain
bow trout, black bass, yellow perch
and other fish suitable for the stock
ing of small streams.
Any application for such filed with
Mr.. James D. Hamill, secretary of
the Fish and Game Protective Asso-
citation of Garrett County, whose Of
flee is in Oakland, will be given the
attention of that gentleman without
