ought to be men, and he was followed
by Colonel Miller. whose chief comment
was on the haste employed by Clay
commissioners In making the selection.
The vacancy occurred at 10 4. m. and
was filled at 4 p. m. the same day, con-
| sequently the commissioners were CEN
| sured and criticized for their haste, for
| 1t looked rs though 1t was done to shut
off other applicants. Further, Colonel
Miller said 1t couldn't be denied that
| one or two male teachers were useful
In a school. nor could it be denied that
the board had appointed women to
! nearly every position in the schools.
Replying to the charge Of haste, Judge
Cranmer said he had opposed haste in
the selection. Five or six applications
were received. and 1t was apparent that
Miss Laffertys credentials far outshone
the others. She presented credentials
from school boards and principals in
New Philadelphia, Beaver and Toledo.
and 1t was shown also that she had
studied in Europe. 1t was the judg-
ment of the other commissioners that
they act at once. and Judge Cranmer
acquiesced. The judge charged the op-
position to Some soreheads," and he
cited the rules to show that the board
had no other course than to ratlfy the
action of the commissioners. He took it
that the board had no right to refer the
selection back. and should it do SO he
intimated that believing it was a CEN
sure on them, the commissioners, Mr..
Jefferson. DR.. Hildreth and the speaker,
would resign. Not to appoint another
another woman principal. would mark a
return to medieval times. The Judge
closed his eloquent speech with trib-
ute to woman.
Mr.. Schaub opposed the selection for
the reason that he didn't consider 1t
necessary to go outside the city and the
state for n principal for Clay district.
If IL came to n question of female prin-
cipals or male principals. Mr.. Schaub
would oppose the former.
Mr.. Maxwell, who had previously
moved to confirm the action Of Clay
commissioners, said the board could
gain nothing by refusing to confirm and
would become liable to n suit for the
principals salary. with the attending
costs: Mr.. Maxwell would vote for
male principals entirely If such n CUES
. ton came up, but while there were
women principals in other Of the ward
