2444 ARTICLE 77.

of all charges made against such member, and his findings thereon, together
with a complete record of the proceedings. Vacancies on said board for
any cause shall be filled by the Governor for the unexpired term, and until
a successor shall qualify. Any member of said board shall be eligible for
reappointment, unless otherwise disqualified by the provisions of this
section.

An. Code, sec. 7. 1904, sec. 7. 1888, sec. 7. 1870, ch. 311. 1872, ch. 377, sub-ch. 2, sec. 3.

1874, ch. 463. 1892, ch. 515. 1894, ch. 110. 1894, ch. 378.

1904, ch. 584. 1916, ch. 506, sec. 7.

8. District boards of school trustees shall each be composed of three
members, appointed from the residents of the school district by the county
boards of education on or before the third Tuesday in May, for a term of
three years from the third Saturday in May next succeeding their appoint-
ment, and they shall hold office until their successors qualify. Provided
that in the first instance the county boards of education shall each appoint
one member for the term of one year, one member for the term of two
years and one member for the term of three years, from the third Saturday
in May, 1917. Thereafter the term of each member appointed to the
boards shall be three years. The members of the boards shall be appointed
solely because of their character and fitness. A county board of educa-
tion may remove any member of a district board of trustees of the same
county for immorality, misconduct in office, incompetency or wilful
neglect of duty, giving to him a copy of the charges against him, and an
opportunity of being publicly heard, in person, or by counsel, in his own
defense, upon not less than ten days' notice. Vacancies on the boards shall
be filled by the county boards of education for the unexpired term and until
a successor shall qualify. Any member of a board appointed under the
provisions of this section shall be eligible for reappointment unless other-
wise disqualified by the provisions of this section. If the county board of
education shall find it impossible in any school district to secure the re-
quired number of competent persons who will serve as members of the
district board of school trustees, the duties of the board for the particular
school district shall devolve upon the county board of education.

Since the trustees are expressly required to take an oath, the county board should
see that they do so before entering upon their duties. Underwood v. School Commis-
sioners, 103 Md. 190.

This section did not repeal act of 1896, ch. 275, providing for erection, support
and control of a high school at Annapolis. See notes to sec. 11. School Commissioners
v. Henkel, 117 Md. 99.

See note to sec. 60.

Chapter 3. The State Board of Education.

An. Code, sec. 8. 1904, sec. 8. 1888, sec. 8. 1872, ch. 377. 1916, ch. 506, sec. 8.

9. The state board of education shall hold its annual meeting each
year at the office of the State Department of Education, on the last Wednes-
day in May. At this meeting the board shall each year elect one of its
members to serve as president, and one to serve as vice-president. Other
regular meetings shall be held on the last Wednesday of August, November
