Senior High Book Changes. The approved senior high school list included books on the sciences, businees nmcnm mathematics, history, modern | languages and other vital subjects ‘laucht in the schools. Similar vol- | umes were approved for the junior high schools. In recommending the adoption of the | spacified volumes, Dr. Ballou explained | that the books had been on display in | his office and that the members of the | board had inspected them. The books were studied also by the officials of the school system. and those approved are believed by the school authorities to be the most suitable and comprehensive treatises on their respective subjects ob- tainable for the particular station in the school curricula each is to maintain The books adopted will be placed in the schools and used for at least three vears. the superintendent explained, as | book changes are not made for shorter | periods. | In many instances, it was indicated | at the meeting. the adopted volumes | were writen by teachers in the school | stem. and in order to obliterate n“‘ possibility of suspicion that the sthool | board was partial toward the local au- in the selection of their works Ballou recommended that these particular volumes be submitted to the " S. Bureau of Education for con- | ation. The board approved Dr. | allou’s recommendation and the books | 1 be presented to the bureau. | History Books Exempted. Before approving the volumes. | Charles F. Carusi, president, askea if of the history books had been the subject of controversy, and he was ad- viced that none had been in that lime- t. Dr. H. Barrett Learned. mem- r. however, criticized one of the his- “source books.” declaring that it seemed to him it was written by per- sons who studied history 30 or 40 years ago. The illustrations, he said, were of the period of 1880, contributing fur- ther to his doubt as to whether or not some better volume could not be se- lected. In its approval of the list the board exempted this one volume. In his brief discussion of the “Z" group child examinations Dr. Ballou declared that while it is impossible to make physical examinations of every pupil in the schools or even every child which is assigned to the “Z" group classes, mis-assignments are rare. As soon as such an error is made, he | declared: it is at once discovered and the child is transferred.

Long, assistant superintendents of schools, whom Dr. Ballou characterized as “experts in psychology.” Emergency Fund Urged. Brief discussion of the present lack of an emergency fund for the use of the Board of Education was evoked when Harry O. Hine, secretary, re- ported that he still had not nearly completed a compilation of the laws under which the Board of Education operates. The compilation was ordered by the board one year ago, and Mr Hine declared he could not get the work completed for many months with- out another clerk to assist in the work. It developed that at the present no clerk in the school system can be spared Mr. Hine for this work and no school funds are available for the employment of an extra clerk. Mr. Carusi declared that a “small appropriation should be available for the use of the Board of Education in just such an emergency as | this,” in which work actually is being | halted and delayed because of the lack | of employment funds. | The board denied the petition of the | Pack Shops of Baltimore to place candy | vending machines in the schools.
