 The district committee of the union school district and the board of school | visitors of East Haven are at logger heads concerning Jurisdiction in hiring a superintendent for that school. The l statute is not plain on the subject, and the school visitors have written to Sec | retary c. D. Hine of the state board of | education for an interpretation of the l law. The law specifies that the district | committee shall engage teachers, pay | salaries and provide fuel for school l buildings. The school visitors claim
 that the duties of the committee end there, and that the visitors shall des- | ignate the principal or superintendent. The district committee consists of w, H. Robinson, F. L. Hawkins and Albert Page. Three teachers have been engag- | ed-Miss Rita E. Lord, Miss Eleanor | M. Woodward and Miss Phebe T. Ives. | A fourth teacher is to be selected, who will fill the position of principal or su- perintendent. Miss Julia c. Smith of | East Pearl street is prominently spoken of for the position The school visitors have previously reappointed Miss Lord
 as principal. The report of Secretary Hine will probably settle the question of Jurisdiction.
