C. S. Young Installed as Super
intendent of Common
Schools.
WILL ASK AN INJUNCTION.
The Auditor to Be Restrained From
Issuing Babcock a Salary
Warrant.

Hon. G. s. Young, who was appointed to
the office of Superintendent of Common
Schools by the Board of Supervisors last
Monday, took the oath of office yesterday,
and will within the next few days file the
necessary bonds and enter iuto the official
duties which accompany his office.
"a demand will be made upon Mr.. Bab-
cock for the office within day or so,' said
Mr.. Young last evening, N''and ii he de-
clines to surrender quo warranto proceed
ings will be instituted against him, and the
matter will thus be taken into the courts
Before the end of the month proceed
ings will be commenced for the issuance of
writ of mandate restraining the Auditor
from issuing warrant for the salary
which accompanies the office until the
question of who Is legally entitled to the
office, Mr.. Babcock or myself, has been de.
termined.
"As to any proposed changes in the per-
sonnel Of the offices in the event that my
appointment is sustained by the courts, +"
continued Mr.. Young, 81 can say that one
thing is certain, and that is that my deputy
will not be without experience as teacher.
GAS everybody knows, the Superinten-
dent outlines q school policy, and his
deputy carries it out. OF course l have
never had the supervising of the work of a
thousand teachers, but l have had to
supervise the work of from fifty to 100
teachers at one time, and consequently
have some idea of what is required.
at will be most gratifying to enter the
office untrammeled by promises. Not
even the suggestion of a promise OF po-
sition to any person has been made on my
part. was appointed by no faction of
party, no one party, no sectarian clique,
not even by the Republican party alone,
but by Republicans and Democrats, with
out reference to party politics, religion nor
anything else except the best interests of
the schools.
"Of course 1 feel pleased and highly
complimented over such expression of
confidence on the part of representatives
of all classes and now feel that owe alIe-
glance to no one person, but to the whole
people. | now feel it my duty to make the
best battle possible to secure the position
for which l was indorsed by the thousands
of votes at the last election and by the only
legislative body in this City and County
/ on last Monday"
'In regard to the appointment of Mr.
c. 8. Young" said Mr.. Babcock, con-
testant for the Office of Superintendent of
| Common Schools, 81 will say that l have
not as yet received any notification from
| the Board of Supervisors, and all the in
| formation have received has been through
| the Board of Education and the press.
81 have not yet determined what action
| shall take in the matter, and probably
shall take none, as l consider that it is
merely O legal technically between the
Board of Education and the Board of Su-
pervisors.
THE School Department is in charge of
the Board OF Education, and it seems to
me that as the whole City government is
running under the charter known as the
consolidation act, and not under the
county government Get, the validity of
