The protest of Mr.. Poor against the drop
ping of Mr. Raney as principal Of the New
Macy-street school and the appointment OF
Janet Henderson as his successor, was in
the form of little sky rocket. Mr.. Poor
limited that Raney was being punished vi
cariously because he (the speaker) had re-
fused to oppose Mr. Webb during the 'late
unpleasantness." He said that he had been
approached by two prominent First ward
politicians, who had told him that If he
would stand in with those who wanted Webb
out of the board Raney would be retained,
and Mr.. Poor intimated that he was pre-
pared to mention names.
Mr.. Foshay, at the request of President
Davis, said that Mr.. Raney was dropped as
principal because he had shown a reluct-
ance to carry out the instructions of the
superintendent office on several occasions.
Mr.. Foshay reminded Mr.. Poor that Ra-
ney had been dropped from the roll of teach
ers once before-three years ago-for incom-
potency. AS matter of fact, he had never
stood well as a teacher. The vote stood
Ayes, Bragg, Conrey, Braly, Mathis and
Simonton. Messrs. Poor, Davis and Bart
lett voted no.

Mr.. Braly moved that the bill of Mr..
Webb for his expenses to the Milwaukee
convention be taken up President Davis
suggested that the warrant drawn by order
of the board be Cancelled. On motion of Mr..
Conrey the secretary was ordered to cancel
it, although Mr.. Poor, who said that he was
not championing Mr.. Webb, did not believe
that he had travelled on a pass, because
