ers.
The minutes of the regular meet
ing of March 18th were read and APP
proved, and sundry bills ordered
paid.
Mr.. Crothers who had been APP
pointed as a Committee of one, to
report upon the grading of grounds
at the Calvert High School, reported
progress.
he Board again devoted consid-
cradle time to the discussion of var
ious methods Of fixing the value of
school property for the purpose of
placing fire insurance upon the
school properties; the types of pol
icies under which insurance was to
be carried, and the length of time
for which policies should be taken
out. 1t listened with considerable
interest to representatives of two
companies, who presented to the
Board, their opinions concerning the
best methods to be pursued by the
Board of Education in placing in
surance upon the properties under
it's control. 1t desired to have es-
Inmates of the amount of insurance
which should be placed upon each
building. This, together with the
amount of insurance now carried
upon the buildings, would give to-
them the necessary information for
the additional amount, if any, of in
surance to be placed upon the build
ings by them.
The resolution upon the entering
age of children to be drafted for this
meeting, was deferred until a later
meeting.

reported that the bus insurance upon
the buses transporting school child
.an in Cecil county expires June Is,
954 After considering this fact,
NE Board Of Education decided to
inform the bus drivers that insur-
ance in the same manner as before
would be taken out jointly On buss-
es, beginning September /, 1884,
and for the remainder of the school
year of 1934-1935.
In view of the responsibility of
the Board Of Education for the
transporting Of children going to
and from schools when interschool
games were being played. the Board
of Education decided that limita-
tions should be placed upon the
method of transporting the children.
The following limitations were de-
cided upon:
1. No children should be trans
ported from one high school to
another high school when games are
to be played officially, except in
buses under the control Of the
Board Of Education.
2. It desired to discourage the at
tendance at other high schools than
their own Of any school children
other than those who are partici-
pants in the games being played.
1t, therefore, ordered that only
those children engaged in the games
or sports between the school they
represent as team and the oppos-
ing school should be transported in
the school busses.. It desires the
principals of the schools to refuse
permission to students unless. except
and when those children have per-
mission from their parents to at
tend.
8. For carrying out this purpose
of transportation, it appropriated
the sum of not more than $4,000.

at North East on Field Day to be
held there on Friday, May 18th, was
granted to the schools in Elkton.
