In view Of the fact that the closing
of the contest may extend beyond
February l. when the midyear gradu-
ations will be held in the public
schools. The Star announces that
contestants will be grouped accord
ing to the classes they have attended
during the present semester. There
fore if an eighth grade pupil. who
is now in the Junior class of the
contest is promoted to high school
before the competition Is closed, he
will remain in the junior class. On
the other hand, if q high school stu
dent is graduated before the closing
of the contest. he will submit his
composition I'm the senior class
This ruling is made because it
would be unfair TO make an eight tn
grade pupil promoted to the high
school submit his essay in the senior
group after having prepared his COM
position for the junior class. 1t would
be as equally unfair to debar high
school graduates in February from
submitting their essays after having

BERKELEY COUNTY FRUIT
GROWERS GRANTED rs PER
CENT REDUCTION In
ASSESSMENT,


The Board of Equalization and
Review for Berkeley county, sitting
as final assessing agency before
1922 assessment books are turned
over to the County Court for the
levy. was asked by a body of fruit
growers of the county last Thursday
to revise downward the present or
chard valuation scale because the
yield this season will be so limited
as to make entirely unfair the in
crease in orchard property reported
by the assessor.
Special Assessor Wilbur II. Thorn
as, designated by State Tax Com
missioner Hallanan to advise with
the assessors and the boards of re-
view in the fruit counties regarding
fair valuation on fruit land, sat with
the board and, because of his activ-
ity in connection with the assess
ment and his status as the tax COM
missioner's special representative
both took part in the discussion and
was quizzed by the growers.
A fiat cut of twenty-five per cent
in the 1922 valuation of orchard
properties in Berkeley county was
ordered last Saturday by the Board
of Equalization and Review, follow
ing consideration of the appeal made
by the growers. The cut will put
the values slightly above what they
were last year, it was said by the
Board, the increase in valuation hav-
ing been made this year at the
instance of the state tax commits
sioner's office.
The order, passed by two-to-one
vote, is being opposed by the as
SCISSOR and his assistants, it was said
who have asked for a special repre-
sentative of the tax commissioners
office to come and review the whole
situation, including the values of the
assessor and his staff and the action
of the Board of Equalization ano
Review. 1t was pointed out, how.
ever, that letter from the state
tax commissioners Office to Specia
Assessor Wilbur H. Thomas hae
been read to the Board putting the
tax chief on record as satisfied with
any adjustment that would not be 8
burden to the fruit men themselves
and fair to the state.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
APPOINTS TEACHERS.

Teachers In the Charles Town
Graded and High School for the
1929 term were appointed by the
School Board in session in the office
of Secretary C. w. Conrad July 8.
The faculty of last year, with only
three exceptions were reappointed
with Prof. Wright Denny again as
principal. Prof. J. w. Field, a mem
Der of the High School faculty last
year, was not an applicant for reap
pointment. This vacancy together
with the fact that owing to the limit
ed teaching staff, some teachers in
the grades had to do high school
work this year.
Prof. Arthur G. Ramey, last year
principal of the Strasburg, Va, High
School, and Miss Bee LaBoyteaux
are the new appointees on the High
School faculty. Miss LaBoyteaux
who has taught there several years,
was not regularly appointed teach
er last year. As thus completed, the
High School faculty will include
Prof. Denny, principal; Messrs. H.
\. Amber, Arthur Ramey, and
Misses Lallie Craighill, Martha Phil
lips Bee LaBoyteaux, assistants.
In the graded school two new
teachers have been employed, the
appointments being due to the with
drawal of Misses Julia Phillips and
Ethel LaBoyteaux, who We're mem
bers of the teaching staff last year.
The new members are Misses Agnes
Reinhart, of Shepherdstown, and
Lucy Park Shepherd, of Clarke
county, Va. Their coworkers in the
grades will be Mrs. Annie d. Baker.
Mrs. Ida Pauline Russell, Mrs. Nellie
o. Dick, Misses Margaret Bishop,
Catherine Baylor, Mary V. Engle,
Dorcas Golladay, Katie Leslie, Mary
I. Howell, Nelle Turner, and Mary
E. Kercheval. Miss Bette j. Beller
was appointed Librarian and assis-
tant to the principal.
By an order of the Board, Presi-
dent E. E. Cooke was authorized to
have plans and specification drawn
for two-room school building in
Ransom. Plans for alterations in the
Undertake property just purchased
by the Board to adopt it to school
purposes came up for discussion.
1t was shown to the satisfaction of
the Board that only four rooms of
the present dwelling can be used as
school rooms, and in as much as the
High School requires six rooms, it
was decided to leave the High
School in its present quarters in the
main school building, and utilize the
available rooms in the Undertake
property for the grades.
A report of the secretary showed
that the Board paid tuition for seven
colored pupils who did High School
work at Storer College last year.
There being no high school for col
ored students in the District, a new
law now makes it imperative on the
Board to provide tuition for them in
high school outside the district.
The amount paid for the seven at
Storer was $137.5O.
