BOARD OF EDUCATION

The Board Of Education met in
regular session on Tuesday, January
18th. Those present were, Mrs.
Eleanor ]. Moore, President; Fred
Lewis, ice-President and j. e.
Crothers.
The minutes of the regular meet
ing of December 9Th were read and
approvd, and sundry bills were ex-
amined and approved for payment.
The Superintendent reported that
a conference of Supervisors and
Superintendent would be held at
Boston on January 18th and 18th,
and a conference of High School
Principals and superintendent at
Chestertown on January 18th.
A report was received from the
State commenting upon the splendid
attendance in the white and colored
Schools of Cecil county for the
month of November.
DR.. w. H. Wright and Commander
John Burnley, representing the
American Legion, appeared before
the Board in reference to soliciting
funds in the schools for the Hos
pital Ambulance. While the move
ment for the purchase of an am
bulance has the moral support of the
Board, the Board feels that subscrip-
tons should not be taken in the
public schools. The Board urges,
however, that teachers and pupils
contribute as individuals towards
this worthy object.
Representatives of well known
publishing company requested per-
mission OF the board to have the
students solicit subscriptions in the
schools. Unfavorable action was
taken upon this request as the Board
feels the schools should not be COM
mercialized in this way.
The mid-year examinations are to
be held the three last school days in
January and shall cover the work
of the first half year of the Course
of Study. The questions shall be
prepared by the teachers and the
questions and answers shall be filed
at the school for six months and
shall be open to the inspection Of
parents and guardians.
Miss Mary w. Drissel, of Lans-
dale, Pennsylvania, was appointed
as an assistant in the North East
High School.
The resignation of Miss Louise H.
Spear, of the Chesapeake City
Elementary School, to take effect
January 31st, was received and
accepted.
The meeting was then adjourned.

sUsQUEHANNA BASKETBALL
LEAGUE

Composed OF Rising Sun. Elkton,
Port Deposit, Perry Point, Aber-
deem Proving Ground and Bel Air,
the Susquehanna Basketball League
has been formed. The schedule pro-
/ vides for two games with each team.
An official referee will officiate at all
games and each game will be pre-
ceeded by preliminary game be-
tween girls or high school teams.
Four of the towns, namely. Elk
ton, Port Deposit, Perry Point and
Aberdeen Proving Ground, already
have girl teams and it is expected
that girl teams will also be organic
ed at Bel Air and Rising Sun. On
the opening night, January 22nd,
Aberdeen will play at Perry Point.
Port Deposit at Elkton and Bel Air
was scheduled to play Rising Sun at
Bel Air, but due to the fact that the
Armory was engaged, the game will
be played on Thursday night,
January 21st.
Rising Sun and Port Deposit do
not have any floor large enough for
the sport and the former will play
all their home games at Elkton
Armory, while the latter will use
the Bel Air Armory for all of their
home games.
Bel Air in their six preliminary
games, sports an average of 1000
per cent, winning early in the sea-
son from Rising Sun 40 to 20, but
since that time the Sun boys have
a different aggregation. The fol-
lowing will wear the orange jerseys
for Mgr. Biles when they trot on the
floor at Bel Air in the opening game
of the first Basket Ball League of
Hartford and Cecil counties:

EASTERN SHORE
ASSOCIATION

At meeting held in Georgetown
on Monday, January 18th, repre-
sentatives of twelve out of the
eighteen banks in Sussex county I'M
animously endorsed the program of
the Del-Mar Va Eastern Shore Asso-
citation. This endorsement follows
similar action upon the part of the
banking groups in Wicomico, Somer-
set and Queen Anne counties.
In addition to endorsing the pro-
gram of the Association. the bank
ing groups in the counties named.
have also unanimously passed reso-
buttons recommending that all bank
ing institutions make an annual
appropriation to the 1 Association
equal to one-fifth of one per cent of
their capital and surplus. At their
meeting on Monday the representa-
tives of the Sussex county banks
stated very emphatically that they
did not regard the Del-Mar-Va
Eastern Shore Association as either
ia philanthropy or charity. They
were supporting it as business
proposition because OF their belief
that banking institutions would be
among the first to benefit by reason
of a program that would publicize
and advertise the Del-Mar-Va PENN
sula, continuously and nationally.
Three conferences were held on
Tuesday. January 18th in the in
terest of the Association. There was
a meeting of the Queen Anne's coun-
ty group in the Courthouse at Cen
treville at 2 p. m, the County Mem
bership and Finance Committee con-
vening at ! p. m. In addition, the
Dorchester County Membership and
Finance Committe held meeting at
Elk's Home at Cambridge at p. m.
On Tuesday, January 18th. the
Commissioners of Wicomico county
passed a resolution appropriating
$4,000 a year to the Association.
In making the announcement of this
step, Mr.. G. w. F. Insley, President
of the Board, said:
1.-The work. which the Del-Mar-Va
Eastern Shore Association will do
will benefit. everybody in the county.
Every land holder, every business
man will be better on by reason of
any effort to advertise the natural
advantages which we have to offer.
The Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association is public movement and
is as much entitled to public sup
port as campaign in behalf of good
roads and better schools"
At a meeting held on Tuesday,
January 18th, the Commissioners OF
Worcester county also voted an an
nual appropriation of $4,000 to the
Association.
