Meyersdale Public -Schools under
‘the able leadership of Prof. W. H.

another year’s work on Monday
morning last, the teachers began
work on the Thursday preceding, and
some of them were not more than
ready when the bell called to books
at 9 the first work day of the present
week. As a result, each pupil had a
task to perform from the very start
and discipline was a nominal thing.
The enrollment consisted of 100 in
the high school, with 726 pupils in the
grades. There are 24 teachers in all,
several of whom are new to the work
on this place. Thelnew principal of
the High School is Prof. N. L. Reitz;
a graduate of Pennsylvania College,
Gettysburg, with one term at Chi-
cago University. The “other new
teachers in the High School are, Mr.
Weaver, of Bucknell; Miss Frances

DIRECTORS SUSTAINED
IN PAYING TUITION.
Judge Ruppel handed down am
opinion a few days ago sustaining the
school directors of Milford township
in their contention with the township
auditors of that district concerning
tuition paid for school children from
Milford township enrolled in the
Rockwood borough schools. George
Hay, a’ prominent Milford township
farmer; sent his children to school to
Rockwood instead of their home dis-
trict on account .it being more con-
venient for them to go to Rockwood.
Hay was reimbursed in the sum of
$34.48 for tuition by the Milford town-
ship school directors. When the
township auditors : discovered this in
making the annual settlément of the
school board’s accounts for the year
1913 they surcharged the tuition. The
directors appealed to the court and
