The Entire Old Faculty Of the High School
Very Little Opposition Made to the
Choice.
The effort to reorganize the High School
faculty has failed. At a meeting of the Cen
tral Board of Education last night those
who advocated q new set of teachers were
overruled and all the old reelected. In
most cases the decision in favor of the pres
ent faculty was unanimous and the election
created very little discord. Mr.. Phelps was
the only member who made any enort
toward reorganization and he found few
supporters
The meeting opened with the report Of
the City Superintendent, showing total en-
tendanoe Of s5s T The report een ao Of the Psinc
pal of the High school shows an enrollment
OF 40, with an average attendance Of 49,
The report of Secretary Reisfar showed that
during the past month the expenditures
were $40, $40 81.
When James N. McMillen. the newly
elected member from the Minersville dis
trict. thirteenth ward, entered the room he
was greeted with applause. Everybody was
glad the deadlock in his district had been
broken. His certificate was accepted. The
report of the High School Committee, rec
ommending: the reelection of the present
faculty, was read. At this point Mr.. Phelps
arose and said:
'In connection with this matter wish to
say that have been grossly misrepresented
by the principal of the High School and MS
allies. My resolution for q new faculty had
nothing to do with the Nobbs case, as has
been claimed, but was simply the result Of
my long and growing conviction that such
1 still believe that If the board wishes to an
nihflate the school 1t will keep the present
faculty in power. If 1t wants to make the
institution what 1t should be there must be
change. The present management Is in
competent"
