Unofficial Verdict
Concerning Track
Meet Is Received

Unofficial word concerning re-
caused the county track meet to be
called off was received by the Board
of Education, F. E. Rathbun an
nounced today. The verbal statement
gave indication that transportation
by county school buses can be pro-
vided the students without infringe
ment of the law, Mr.. Rathbun added.
Postponement of the meet was
brought about by law which pro-
hibits school bus operators from us
ing their busses for anything other
than their primary job of transport
ing to and from regular school ses-
sions unless they have a special
charter" license, which costs the
operator $50. An Interpretation was
sought since the track meet is rela-
tive to school operations, and the at
torney general, Hall Hammond, held
to the opinion any transporting of
students must be in accordance with
the law.
Garrett county legislators told Mr.
Rathbun that when the bill was
passed they were assured that it did
not affect use of school buses for the
various school activities. They APP
proved action which might lead to a
repeal of the law in the special SEES
sion of the legislature now in prog
ress.
The track meet, however, is still
pending in lieu of some written state
ment giving permission to bus drivers
to carry the students without having
to pay the $50 license fee, and still
retain full insurance protection.

THOUGHT TREND
TOWARD NEED OF
JUNIOR COLLEGE
Is Considered a Possibility in
County Seat In Survey Report
Now Being Prepared

Included in the modern trend of
alton of a junior college in this coun-
ty. This type of thinking is indicated
in the survey report, now being pre-
pared following the surveys con-
Quoted by Doctors Newell, Morphet
and Engelhardt in this county re-
Gently, according to r. Bowen Har-
desty, assistant county superiE-
tendent of schools.
However, the latter pointed out
that it was recognized by these men
that only one such institution could
be justified, and according to the re-
port, does not mean extra money
would be spent on the new high
school i'm order to make it disable as
a junior college.
This type of thinking or recon-
mendation for future activity here is
substantiated in report on higher
education in Maryland published
February, 1947, by The American
Council on Education, Washington,
ID. c., and studied by the state de-
partment of education in Maryland.
This report makes the following
statement in reference to this county:
High school enrolment in Garrett
county iustifies the expectation of a
small junior college at the county
seat"
The report for this county also
points out that the new high school
building could be used for junior col
lege (13th and 18th year, from $3.50
to 10 p. M, as is the case now in two
junior colleges operating in Mary
land in Washington and Montgomery
counties. 1t was explained that
credits for courses to be offered in a
junior college could be transferred
to other colleges. Providing there
was such a set-up here any person
could continue to work for a degree,
the individuals who were not inter
ested in that kind of studies that
courses considered terminal" could
be studied. "In Garrett county such
courses considered terminal would be
concerned with farm, forestry, recre-
alton, fioristry, or some other type of
activities out of which youth can
make fine livelihood if he is trained
and properly directed" Mr.. Hardesty
said. To these courses might come
those who had discontinued their
school work and who wanted to re-
turn for specialized training. 1t was
emphasized that the courses would
not require new and pretentious
buildings but could be carried on in
buildings devoted to high school
work.
Such college could be financed by
three methods; state, county and
through a small tuition.
