After the business meeting tea was! - served by Mrs. Clarence M. White ! *j assisted by Mrs. T. J. Linthicum and: ' Mrs. J B. Rippere. A rising vote of thanks was given - Prof. Fox on his splendid address on • the public schools: Prof. Fox**. Addrt's Prof. Fox spoke as follows: "The activities of the American school systems are conditioned upon r the collection and disbursement of , public funds; the public school is , borne upon the shoulders of the tax , payer. From this intimate relatlon r ship between taxes and education it . follows that financial, a well as edu cational problems, must be considered , by the school authorities. Indeed f! every educational problem is, on com plete analysis, a financial problem, and . every financial problem pertaining to ; 1 the schools an educational problem .(The members of the Board of Educa . tion must decide how much money is . 1 to be spent for the operation and main-| I j tenance of schools and for improve j merits in the school plant; they must J secure, through taxation or by other I 1 methods, the funds needed for school . j purposes. In directing expenditures. J and in collecting and managing school .(funds, they should avoid waste and ! should seek to obtain for each dollar .j paid out’ the largest possible educa , tional return. “A county’s resources determine what it is able to spend for school purposes; its educational needs deter mine what it should spend. The amount spent, considered in relation to resources, reflects the community's generosity the value its citi z* ns place on public education. “in the last four years the cost of ! the average commodity has increased j over 100 percent. This means nearly I everything purchased by the Board of j Education during the last year has cost twice as much as the same article i cost in 1916. Repairs such as gl tss. lumber, paint, fuc’ and stove supplies. | have more than doubled. The cost of ilabor has increased accordingly. Teachers’ Sularj Increase-. ‘‘Teachers* salaries in Anne Arundel j county, which amount to 65 percent >f 1 ail the Board's expenditures have been 'increased about f>o percent. The a'.-r j age salary paid in 1915 was $452.00. ; while the average salary paid in 1919 j was $653.00. Tile per capita cost of i education in the same period has ad vanced but 42 percent. Materials Vnd Labor Soar "In brief, supplies, materials and ‘labor huv increased 100 percent; i teachers’ salarh's have been increased jSO percent. Janitors have been pro vided for rural schools, whore hereto fore the teacher has acted as janitor New Buildings New buildings have been erected in i stead of repairing ramshackle affairs; school attendance has been increased 25 percent, while the total per cap'ta (tost of education has increased but 42 percent. The Board has accomplished this by practicing strict economy. It is doubtful if any other business in the ‘ county from the management of a farm 1 to the running of a bank has been con ■ ducted with-a less increase during the same period. School Next To Home "Next to the home, the school should be a place of comfort and beauty, • cleanly, sanitary, well heated, perfeet- I ly lighted—a place in which the chi 1- ! dren and the entire school community l should take pride, and which should stand forth as a true index of the i social, civic, and even moral standards i of the community. Budget Of Expenditures "The Board of Education of Anne j Arundel county several years ago map | ped out a building program for the county.

NEWTON GILBERT Annapolis, Md. f "Tracey's La tiling is now under construction, it will be ready for use by September lsN 1920. This school is intended a** a rural h*gh school. There ; is but one high school in the county, j:hat is Incited at Annapolis and in !accessible to children in the lower part of the county. :•* are many bright | country girls in that section who are ( anxious to become tea, hers They have f been denied the'advantage of a high I school education'in the past. This new school will afford the coveted oppor tunity and no doubt will be the means of preparing many rural minded teachers tor our schools.

There is an unpaid bonded indebted less of $72,000 still on the county fcj the construction of these schools. $ - wrong to charge ;he school maintenance fund with tin care of such bojids. nevertheless, this is exactly what- the law* does. Each ear until these loads are paid part of the f inds levied for school pur poses in Anne rondel county must be set esi.ie to pay for school build ings now located within the bounds of Baltimore City. Consolidated Schools "Linthicum Heights. Glen Burnie | and Severna Bark are now used as ! consolidated schools. The county made a splendid investment when these schools were built. F*r exam-! pie, the contract price of Linthicum 1 Heights school furniture or lot was less ;h:e*i SIO,OOO. Recent es-j imates show tli.itt this building would: now cost $30.0(*0. An increase of over 200 percent. 'k“c , nt estimates on the Germantown ami West Annapolis schools show at* increase of 50 per-; cent, in the la.it six months. This tremendous increase in the cose ofj construction has caused the Board of tremendous increase in the cost of Education to hesitate to recommend further expenditure.-: "* this time.

Lee ‘ Compte has fo-warded a letter to • each district game warden in Mary-1 land. The depn.y game wardens are ( ompeled to mate weekly reports to dP ind those recel ed from January 19 o 24 show that -i great many of them have been very, active in covering heir territory loating quail, and put ting out few! f t which is very essential at this thin and unless the public co-operates with this de partment in "Feeding the Birds," due to the unprecedented spell of snow and sleet, the birds of this State will suffer seriously*. The State Game Warden's letter follows: “As you are aware, we have been using our best efforts to have the pub lic "Feed the Birds.” especially lob white quail. It,i> requested that you get in touch reliable farmers hroughout your district either by 'phone or postal cards, requesting them to try and locate covies of birds and feed same, and if they do not wish to do this gratis, tell them we will pay for the'feed used. "You undoubtedly know there is a heavy sleet covering the earth throughout the State, which is very unusual to continue as long as it has this season. The proper way to go about feeding the birds, is. to locate j -he birds, take a spade and clean off j the earth and -put out some feed j (most any kind of grajn will answer j the purpose), then each day return! to that place *and see if the bii^ds! have fed oif same. "A great many farmers do not take i an interest in the sport of hunting, and for thi§ reason, would possibly not grant your request, although they should be interested, as the quail are of more advantage to agricultural in terests than a. v specie of birds we have in our St- e. "If you can in touch with the ! sportsmen throughout your District, and request to feed the birds, stating if they 1 do not care to feed them gratis.. e will pay for what ever feed they purchase within a rea sonable amount.” Scholastic Basketball League The next game in the Scholastic Basketball League will be played to morrow (Thursday) evening, at the Bladen Street Armory, beginning at 7.30 p. ri.

I Salary Increase For Clergy Bishop Murray, in his address fast night. touched upon many current problems and aroused enthusiasm by outlining, in general terms, plans by which material increases are to be made in the salaries of clergymen de pending in part upon missionary funds. The Bishop intinured that a minimum salary would be fixed well above present figures, declaring that this was made possible by the splen did response of the diocese to the na tion-wide appeii. “The time is not here and never will come," he declared, "when the clergy will sacrifice any ideal of service for material considerations, but our people must realize that the clergyman earns and is entitled to remuneration in ac cord with service rendered, just as is any other man." The Bishop intimated that the canon (it re-organization for the diocese, which was presented today, will pro vide a small executive council rather than tiie present boards and explained the greater efficiency possible under | this centralized form of government, i The Rev. Dr. Philip Cook, who is i host to the convention for the first time, cordially welcomed fellow elergvmen and proffered entertainment for all corners among the families of the parish.

"Strictly Confidential'' which comes to the Republic theatre tonight, tells the story of a provincial English actress who marries a Lord, whose servants are all relatives of hers j Early in the story, she come to the Lord's castle, an orphan; but the rigid decorum of the servants make life impossible for her. She runs away, ; goes back to the stage ami makes an ; instantaneous hit. During this phase I of her career, she meets an artist and j falls in love with him. She does not : know that he is the Lord Bantock from whose castle she escaped not very long since. However, they were married and return to his ancestral home to live. Here the new Lady Bantock finds i herself hedger about by her relatives, who are now her servants. Innumer able humorous complications result ; from the old butler's attempts to curb the happy spirit fo his neice, now his • mi-dre- • The old fellow believes ; flrmlyin certain family traditions, which his neice cannot conform to. Moreover, her position is made more , difficult by her decision not to disclose her family relations fo her husband.
