From the above it will be seen that
our present plans incorporate the es-
tablishment of new State approved
high schools, according to the highest
group that the local conditions war

opportunities and requirements set
forth in Senate Bill No. 81 Exhibit

co. An increase of 81 $50 is asked
to give teachers and those preparing
to teach the amount of $50 each on
the average, instead of $25 each as
has prevailed. The renewing of
teachers certificates depends upon ap-
proved summer school attendance and
those preparing to teach must attend
an approved summer school for at
least six weeks before a regular cer-
tificate can be secured Accordingly,
we are asking for an average of $50
for fifty such people as financial aid
in attending approved summer schools

CD The amount of $1,1O6.64 is ask
ed for text books over the amount re-
ceived during this school year from
the State. This amount seems neces-
sary in view of the increased cost of
text books, which funds now received
from the State allows an average an
nual expenditure for each child en-
rolled of about 81 cents.
(S) The obligations at present for
janitors' wages in the county for the
year will totalize about 81 ,447. so. For
the year 192O-1921, the amount of
S6,923.75 is asked. The needs are as
follows:

According to our Interpretation of
paragraph of Bylaws "a, Sec. SIS
Chap. SOC, of the acts of the General
Assembly of 1916 as set forth on page So
of the 1918 electio of the public schools
laws, it is mandatory that funds suf-
ficient to compensate for this service
(sweeping, building fires, etc. shall
be provided by the county board of ed
ucation, and payment for this work.
when done by the teacher shall not
be considered part of the minimum
salary required by law" Payment
during the current year is not being
made to teachers according to the re-
quirements of this Bylaw since
teachers this year are not being paid
the minimum salary required by law.
but under the plans for 192O-1921, as
herewith submitted to you, only the
minimum is planned practically to be
paid to teachers concerned. There
fore, it is absolutely necessary for
money to be paid to the County Board
of Education for the purpose of pay
ing for the services rendered along
these lines, according to the require
ments of the Bylaw.

and the hauling thereof, as well as
based upon our expenditures for the
schools opened during 1919-1920, the
sum of $4,000 is asked for fuel
during 1920-1921.

tingencies," the sum of 81 ,442.14 is

formation and equipment of new con-
templated State high schools at Acct
dent and Grantsville, for laboratory
and domestic science and general sup
plies in connection Herewith, as well
as for similar expenditures incidental
to those State high schools already es-
tablished at Friendsville, Oakland
