After this election Superintendent Cooper
requested the Board to pass a resolution in

of Miss Schooner in rank from the first grade
grammar to the third grade primary depart
ment.

A part of the deal which did not make
itself apparent in last nights meeting is that
the Citizens secure control of all committees
except the committee on compulsory educa-
ton.
