THE MOUNTAIN LABORED.
Sudden Collapse of the Educational
Journal Contest.
The State Board Finally Leaves the
Selection of a Publisher to the
State superintendent.

The State Board of Education had
great deal of routine business to transact
at Yesterdays session. There were pres

Professor Ira More, of the the State Nor
NAL School at Los Angeles, Professor E.
Il. Pierce, of the Chico Normal School,
and Professor c. w. Childs, of the San
Jose Normal School. Professor More was
elected President in the absence of the
Governor.
The session up to a late hour in the
afternoon was devoted to the examina-
ton of applications for educational and
life diplomas, the board deferring until
the last the matter of the designation OF
some person to edit and publish the
Educational Journal, the official organ OF
the board, over which appointment there
. has been great deal of contention.
The contestants were. the Pacific Edu-
catioRaL Journal and the CdLiforaia Ecltt
cotiOnaL ReUielU. The former paper was
represented by p. NJ. Fisher of Oakland,
the latter by Fred. NJ. Campbell Of
Oakland and Albert LySer of San Fran
cisco. There being no designation, on
motion the board proceeded to the tran
saction of other business, and deferred
the further consideration of the JoUrndt
matter until the evening session.
The rules were suspended, and q dupli-
cate life diploma ordered issued to DR..
ID. NJ. Eddy Of Portland, Oregon, the
original having been destroyed by fire,
an affidavit to that end being presented
to the board.
The same course was taken III the case
of Charles NJ. Kenniston of Stockton.
The request of Gano Kennedy, whose
life diploma was revoked a few years
ago by the State Board, to have the
motion by which it was revoked res
cinded, was denied.

after a lengthy consultation finally
agreed upon and passed the following
resolutions:
