Your correspondent, who is an ar

supporter of the public schools IN our
growing city, has witnessed, with deep
interest and much anxiety, the trouble
that is now agitating our municipal
government about the appointment of
II superintendent OF public schools.
| appears to him that our mayor and
the city council have lost sight of the
school interests Of the city, and have
allowed themselves to become wholly
absorbed in the contest that is being
waged by the respective fac
tions representing aspirants for the
position of superintendent. We see
both factions, Jealous To accomplish
their encs, resorting to all kinds of
