detail work on his hands that he has
been unable to keep it up to date.
Recently in the mass of Office work
orders for books sent to New York
publishers were not properly recorded,
and confusion followed through dupli-
Gates being sent.
Mr.. Scott found the work onerous
and unsatisfactory to him, and when
complaint was made, he rendered his
resignation. In the executive session
much of the responsibility for the err
rors was lifted from Mr. Scott's shout

peradventure that his accounts were
absolutely correct regarding money
transactions, a question, however, re-

up.
Mr.. Scott has been connected with
the Board of Education as Secretary
and Deputy Inspector General for some
time past, and has proven very ener-
getic officer. He has been courteous to
everyone with whom he was thrown
in contact, and has had the respect of
teachers and public alike As he was
