DIRECTOR LEWIS KICKS.
He Thinks He Was Not
Treated Fairly in the
Selection of Teachers.
INSTRUCTORS FOR THE NEW SCHOOLS
Board of Education Makes a
Long List of Appointments
Mr.. Egbert Protests.

The Board of Education met last night.
The session was an unusually lively one,
made so by vain protests by Directors
Lewis and Egbert.
There have been several new school
buildings erected and made ready for oe-
cupancy within the last year. This ma
turally gave the Board a fine array of APP
pointments to make. The schools close
today, and the members of the Board
thought last night was the. proper time
TO make all the necessary appointments
changes and promotions. which will be-
come operative when the schools open
again in September.
AS is customary. the Committee on
Teachers and Salaries prepares the list OF
appointments. and recommends changes
and promotions. That custom was
strictly adhered to by the present COM
mittee. but Messrs. Lewis and Egbert
seemed to be possessed of an idea that
they should have been consulted and their
wishes largely respected in the selection
of teachers. That impression was SO
firmly imbedded in their minds that thsy
kept the Directors in secret conference
for two hours. The harder they fought
the less chance they had of changing the
recommendations of the committee IN
the oommittee room personalities were
frequently INDUCED in and charges of a
more or less disagreeable nature were
made. They did not even succeed III
drawing any particular member into an
unseemly debate At eleven o'clock the
Directors filed into the Assembly Cham
her, where the Board transacts Its busl-
ness. All the members responded to the
roll call.
The recommendations of the Commit
tee on Teachers and Salaries were en-
bodied in the following resolution
Resolved, That the following named
persons be and they are hereby appointed
