Billingslea 1t was decided not to ap-
point a Motion Picture Committee, as
at present there is no special need for
such a body.
The chairman of each committee
selects the other members of her spe-
ciaI committee, and to avoid cOnfus-
ion in this matter, the president held
a short executive session after the

considering the names of those to be
put on the various committees.
The president appointed Mrs. Nor
ris Mitten and Mrs. John l.. Reifsni-
der, Jr to represent the League at

and very kindly offered the League
the use of the County Agents Office

office is decidedly the best place for
such meetings the members of the

regularly at the County Agents office.

State and in nearly every State in the
United States, and while it is looked
upon by a great many citizens and
taxpayers as a reasonable rule, and
while there are laws in this State tho
free books and materials that are de-
stroyed by pupils shall be paid for by
them, it is a fact that it must be in
directly paid by the parents or guard
ians of these children, and while mon
ey cannot be collected from the chill
dren who have nothing to pay with,
it cannot be collected from the par
ent or guardian if they object before
definite responsibility has been fixed.
The Board of Education on this ac-
count has taken this action to rescind
the resolution, but the members are
firmly of the opinion and have not
changed their minds in the least that
this was a reasonable request, and
especially so in view of the fact that
the commercial department of the
Westminster High School is a COM
plimentary course, given to the pupils
Of this school district by the Board
of Education of Carroll County, and
in no way is mandatory by law, and
if the Board of Carroll County should
so elect. could abolish this course
from the school entirely, but it has
considered the fact that this course
is doing good for a great many pupils
of the County who really appreciate
this gift of the Board of Education
and the taxpayers of the County, and
should not be made to suffer loss be-
cause a few do not appreciate it, and
are not willing to manifest this ap
