NEWS IN SCHOOL CIRCLES
Opening Date Determined And Sew
eral Teachers Appointed.

The Board of Education of this
county, at its regular monthly meet
ing last Friday transacted considera-
BILE business of Importance to the gen
eral public. The board is exerting
every effort to meet the needs of the
best interests of the schools and are
providing many ways through which
our schools may advance.
There is still great scarcity of
teachers and the board and County
superintendent have written letters to
all trustees urging them to exert
every effort to secure teachers so that
every school in Garrett county may be
open during 1920-1921. If any one
knows of any available teachers, the
County Superintendent would be graf
ltied to have his or her name and adj
dress. The county school authorities
believe that teachers will be fewer for
the coming school year than they have
been during the past two years. So
trustees are urged to exert every eff
fort to see the necessary teachers for
their schools before it is too late.
The opening date for schools next
fall have been fixed as Monday, Sep
TENDER Is, but there will be a county
wide teachers meeting in Oakland, on
Thursday and Friday preceding, or on
September 9th and 10th.
The next State Uniform Teachers
Examination will be held in the high
school building, Oakland, on August
10th and 18th, beginning at $3.50 a.
M, sharp. The examination will be
limited to the subjects required of APP
plicants who write for their first GER
titicates. The examination for rails
ing the grade of certificate will not
be given again until next June These
examinations are for those who may
have made, in the June examinations,
grades below the required grades in
any subjects as well as for those who
have never taken an examination.
The trustees of all schools have been
written to by the County Superinten-
dent, upon instruction of the County
Board of Education, that the fuel
