MISS JONES. of CLAY.
The Sixth Ward school Principal
in the Witness Stand.

The board Of education held a special
meeting yesterday afternoon for the
purpose OF investigating the charges
made by Miss Emily L. Jones, the prin-
cipal of the Clay school, regarding the
sanitary condition of her school; also to
give her an opportunity to explain
wherefore she closed the school on
certain day without the proper author
ity. Miss Jones was subjected to the
most rigorous catechiratiOn, vet she
proved equal to the occasion. She testi-
fed that previous 70 the time it was
fixed by the workmen and plumbers
sent by the board, the Clay school was
in very bad sanitary condition. She
notified Supt. Bradley and Capt. Dun
can OF the condition of affairs, but it
did no. good. Many of the children
who attended the school were sent
home SICK because Of the foul air aris-
ing from the closets. 1t was because of
this state of things that she dismissed
the school without the seeming proper
authority.
The board finally decided to exoner-
ate Miss Jones Of the charge of not
obeying the rules, for under the cir
cumstanceS she was justified in closing
the school when she did The board
also agreed that no doubt the Clay
school had al one time been in pretty
bad sanitary condition, but it was due
10 an oversight, and i'll no manner the
fault of the board.
Health Officer Kelly visited the Clay
school yesterday and made thorough
examination. He found everything in
pretty fair condition and nothing to
warrant the sensational charges made
by an irresponsible evening paper.

YES, PEOPLE WILL TALK.
What They Are Saying About Prof
OftedaI and the Library.

FOR people Will talk, you know"
SO ran the refrain in the old song. It
was true then and it is true now. Just
at the present time a good many people
are talking about the efforts of the
library committee of the library board
to find in one man all the qualifications
OF hrst-class librarian, Joined with
Christian mind and holy habits of
thought. They have not found him
yet. The committee has served
notice on the board and the
public generally that there is no
use in expecting The appointment
OF librarian much before the time
when the swallows are popularity sup
posed TO homeward fly. And the good
people who are letting the propensity to
gossip gain the mastery over their
tongues do say that this lack Of celeritv
in the selection of a successor to Herbert
Putnam is all in the interest OF Prof.
Sven Oftedai. There be those who can
not reconcile with the assertion that a
man of rare attainments must be found
for librarian, the bald fact that the
library is practically running itself now
and has been since Mr.. Putnam went
away last month. And right here is
where these gOsslps connect the name
OF Prof. 0ftedal with the sIowpess of
the library committee in selecting a
librarian. Prof. Oftedal is chairman of
the library committee. The library
committee is now the librarian.
Upon Prof. Oftedal devolve ali.
or nearly all, of the duties
that would fall to the librarian, were
such person in existence. Prof. Ofte-
dial has taken TO signing his name as
acting librarian While doing the
work OF the librarian he is becoming
familiar with the working of the posi-
ton. IL is limited that time will con-
time to roll by without a librarian be
ing selected. until the members of the
library committed and the library board
arise in their WEAKNESS of spirit and
say, LET Us get rid of this matter by
making Ottedal librarian. now that he
IS familiar with the duties of the posi-
ton" The transition from acting
librarian 10 librarian de facto could be
made very easily. This is what people
say.
There are other gossips who assert
that \. G. Austin, long a member OF
either the libI~sy board or the board of
education, is Costing longing glanees
upon the position Of librarian. These
