Board of Education POstpones Prin-
cipalship Case.
WILL LAY MATTER OVER
SMALL VOLUME OF BUSINESS
WAS TRANSACTED.
Absence of MI. Young and Fear of
Controversy, Prompted Delay
Leaves of absence Granted and
Teachers Applications Referred
Preparations For examination.

The absence of B. S. Young and the
fear that a discussion of the matter of
principalships would be prolonged to
an hour uncomfortably near the High
school commencement exercises were
all that deferred the board of educa-
ton at its meeting late yesterday af-
ternoon from finally passing upon the
list of school principals to be en-
ployed next year. But an arrangement
was affected whereby the board will
meet Monday evening to decide whether
to again reconsider the dismissal of
Principal Hallock of the Franklin
school and Principal Webster of the
Lincoln.
The only other mention of the prin-
cipalships at yesterdays brief session
of the board was when Mr.. Giauque
presented a petition from over 600 par
ents of pupils attending the Lincoln
school, asking that the board recon-
slider its action in concluding TO dis
miss Principal Webster. The petition
ers certified 10 the eminently success
full and satisfactory services of Prin-
cipal Webster and prayed for his reten-
ton another year. In adopting mo-
ton to refer it to the committee of the
whole, Mr. Giauque gave notice that
another petition of similar purport
from other patrons of the school would
yet be presented.
