NAMES OF Committeeman
Announced by President Carson at
Meeting Of Board OF Control.
THERE WE'RE MANY SURPRISES
John ii. Williams Made Chairman of the
Teachers Committee It. }. jennings
Put at the Head of the High
School Committee.

A series of surprises were sprung at
last nights meeting of the board of
control, when George b. Carson, the
new president. announced the commit
tees and chairmanships for 1895.
Mr.. Carson was chosen president
only by the narrow margin of one
vote, so it was anticipated that those
who had opposed him would be denied
places on the choice committees. In
his appointments the only member
given a craftsmanship and who had
supported Mr. Schriefer for the presi-
dency, was Mr.. Langstaff, and he was
given the doubtful honor of heading
the auditing committee.
1t Is a noticeable fact that lone of
lhe desirable and important commit
tees contain the names of the Schriefer
men, who, during 1895. will officiate on
the laborious and obscure committees
or will not officiate at all.
The list follows
