SCHOOL BOARD sensation.
A Fight Made Against the New Superin-
tendent of Schools.
PROTEST FILED AGAINST HIM |!
1t is Based Upon a Very Serious Charge
Reported by Pittsbhrg Newspapers
and is Alleged to Have oc-
Cured Last April

When will the course of sensations turn
and check be brought to bear upon the
nerve, mind and tongue-trying developments
which the modern management of public
school affairs seems unable to escape? Last
night the School Board of this borough held
another meeting, and the first since its re-
organization. The developments of the
evening were among the most sensational
ever made before the Board. That the
charges embraced in the presentations made
are groundless must be the hope Of every
friend of the cause of education.
Had a bomb exploded in midst of the School
Directors the surprise could not have been
greater to most of those assembled when
President Price arose and stated why, in
making his appointment of committees, he
had failed to designate the Library Com
mittee. The superintendent of schools is al
ways made a member of that committee.
After announcing the appointments made
President Price said in explanation of the
omission, Yesterday l heard considerable
rumor through the town in regard to the
Superintendent-elect and 1 considered it
my duty to bring it before the Board tonight
To-day I made all the inquiry possible as
to the whereabouts of Prof. Bogart and as to
Prof Bogart, to his address in Knoxville,
Pittsburg, and these are the words When
may we expect to see you ?'' Mr.. Price con-
tinued with statement that the dispatch
evidently did not reach Prof Bogart, as he
received an answer from another party say
ing Prof BOgart had left Knoxville and was
supposed to be in Philadelphia. He then
continued, 81 tried to reach the Department
of Public Instruction by phone at Harris
burg and failed to get SchaefIer, Stewart, or
Houck; they were out. Schaefier will be at
home tomorrow. | got Secretary Glenn and
asked him if he knew about Prof Bogart
that he had not, as yet, appeared. / wanted
to know when the commission had been
given him and he stated that a protest had
been filed against Prof. Bogart-against the
issuing of the commission. | believe he said
it is on the ground of immortality. He is now
at Germantown, Philadelphia A letter had
been received from him by the Department
stating he had forwarded the protest to the
Knoxville School Board and they have not
heard from that Board as yet. Mr.. Glenn
supposes that at an early day hear
ing will be appointed. He said he
had seen some clippings of papers in regard
to some report. When asked as to his opinion
as to the strength of the case he said he
didn't know. but he didn't think il was a
strong case. In regards TO the filling of the
positions in case Prof Bogert does not return
Mr.. Glenn stated new election would be
necessary. He also stated we do not come
nnder the Sunervision of the County sinner
