to make promotions i'm the corps Of teachers,
and the motion was carried.
Mr. Edwards moved that Mr. Cooper act as
Superintendent of schools until his commits
sion is received.
Mr.. Irezsc said he thought The motion
was out of order that Mr.. Cooper could not
act in any capacity, ss he was neither
principal, OF superintendent. IF you want
TO 90 that FAR now, you should elect him as a
teacher he added, and followed with a
demand that the law on the election of
Superutendents which provides that 80 days
shall elapse between the election and the
issuance of the commission, to give time for
the filing of objections

vote Of to and he followed it with
motion that Miss Clara Cline be promoted as

formed by her predecessor and also he ex-
empted from keeping the records of text
books and supplies in the High school, and
her salary be Sl10 per month
Mr., Cooper's salary for the position was
Sl3O per month
Mr.. Trezise "I object on the ground that
we have a rule adopted by this Board to the
effect that the High school principal must
take charge of the library and be assistant
librarian, and to get at that properly you
must amend the rules and notice of the
amendment must be given at two stated
meetings"
Mr. Edwards: "Tn add to that motion
that the part referring to the library duties
take effect thirty days from date after the
first meeting in May, meanwhile the first
assistant principal do the work b"
Mr.. Ogden: This is not regular meet
ing.'
Mr.. Hanna "The rules are all right, but
it is hardly reasonable to expect Miss Cline to
take charge of that work Mr.. Britt could
come down here and do that
Mr. Trezise What has Mr.. Britt got to
do with it2"
A ripple of laughter passed around the
room as Mr. Hanna made the slip. but he
paid no more attention to Mr. Trezise's ques
tiOn than to smile.

caused renewed outburst Of general
laughter

pointed first assistant in the High school, as
suming the duties of assistant librarian on
May 10th at salary Of 500 per month

in that position The whole plan was thus
laid bare. Miss Cline became principal at
salary of $50 per month less than Mr.. Cooper
received and the difference was turned over
TO Mr. Britt

Mr. Hanna 81 move that Luther b.
Edwards be assigned to the position vacated
