The New Castle Herald says to day
The amount Of downright hard ballo
it required to elect new principal 70
our public schools shows in what higl
esteem Professor ID B Jones is held b!
large proportion Of the school board
During his stay here of five years he ha
proved himself a good principal True
ne has not pleased every one Who eve
did3 Human nature is very fckle
The very crowd that wanted to crow
Christ king one day cried "crucify h IN
the next. The same kind of people liv
TO day. Mr. Jones may have been
little severe in discipline sometimes q
other times not severe enough, perhaps
III pupils have not made the pro
gress they should have done,
was not his fault altogether
desultory school board is often a prime
ral's great hindrance Again, thoroug
discipline in nearly dozen rooms
hard TO maintain II subordinate teacher
are Dot fully up TO scratch" Profe
sor Knapp the newly elected principl
comes with fattering testimonials,
did Mr. Jones. Testimonials amount
very little; true merit goes a grei
ways. Mr.. Knapps career here is y,
unborn. Mr.. Jones has been tried al
found to be above the average He HI
had a good deal to contend with
"~~@0eA
lack Of proper school paraphernalia an
a dearth Of hearty appreciation for a
vanced methods 1t is to be hoped wht
Professor Knapp takes hold Of the reil
