QUESTION WASN’T SETTLED THIS TIME Several Trustees Didn’t Like Idea and Matter Will Come Up Again At Next Meeting of Board. Immediately after tbe meeting of the county Board of Education, Sat urday, a meeting of the trustees from the Rural Districts was called, and at this meeting an effort was made to perfect an organization termed the Rural Trustees Conference Board, But an opposition to the establishment ot the Conference Board led by Mr. H. H. Olierich brought the meeting to a close after a lengthy discussion with nothing having been accomplished. The purpose of the conference is to do for the country schools what the City Trustees Conference Board has done for the city schools. The mat ter was first suggested at the last meeting of the County Board, and on the vote of all present Mr. Lawton B. Evans who was to be secretary of the Conference Board was asked to prepare a suitable agreement which he brought with him to the meeting Saturday. The meeting was presided over by Mr. James A. Cars well and was very interesting for the reason there was a decided opposition diplayed by some of the members. a synopsis of the agreement was that the Rural Trustees should com bine, and a chairman, that the funds of the various school districts should be placed together and- division be made according to the needs of the school, that no teacher should be elected to any of the coun tay schools until she had her name placed on the list of oligibles by rea son of having passed a satisfactory examination before Mr. Evans. That the salaries should be the same In all districts for the class of service ren dered, and that the action of the conference board should be final. After much discussion in which the representatives of the 123 d district and Summerville joined in the oppo sition, the latter at first declaring their intention of not entering into the agreement, it was voted that the agreement should have been read in sections. The section in regard to the ap pointment of teachers was accepted unanimously but the part of the di vision of money aroused considerable discussion. After a while the Sum merville trustee present declared his Intention of letting Ms district con sent to the agreement for one year, the gentlemen from the 123 d dis trict stated that they were well sat isfied with ule way things were go ing on, and would not for an instant, think of PitTTng tlievr district enter into the compact. Mr. Evans, Chair man Fleming, and Chairman Cars well made earnest and forceful ap peals but it appeared that it would be impossible to convince the 123 d district members of the great good of the Conference Board, the principal objection of the latter was the divis ion of the funds. Mr. Evans stated that the’. Conference Board would re sult in better and larger schools and teachers of a very high standard and would also mean much saving of mon ey now being spent in unneeded schools and high salaries for teachers who are not deserving and are ap pointed by favoritism. Finally it was agreed that the mat* ter should rest until the next meet ing of the County Board. MR. DORR ATTENDING K. OF C. DIRECTORS’ MEET Mr. Victor Dorr left yesterday for New Haven, Conn., to attend a quar terly meeting of the National Board of Directors of the Knights of Colum butC AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 10, 3 909.
