Sixth ward citizens and heard their ar
guments regarding the proposed change
in the principalship of the Central high
school. M. P. Ryan headed the delega-

E. Mcdonald. also spoke in behalf of
Mr. Bryant
Mr.. Ryan explained that the committee
appeared in the best interests of Mr.. Bry-
ant, and they wanted to go on record as
protesting against the removal of Mr.
Bryant from his present position. Mr..

in the Humboldt school. and failed to see
that any good reason had been advanced
why he should be thrown out of the Cen
trail high school. However, if a change
was made, Mr.. Ryan wanted Mr.. Bryant
sent back to the Humboldt high school,

Bryant, Mr.. Ryan thought. and asserted
that he should have another year at Cen
trail.

of Mr.. Ryan, and said that Mr. Bryant
should be given another years trial with
the active support of the board. Each
member of the delegation made known his
views in no uncertain terms, and e. e.

he thought Mr.. Bryant had been treated
shamefully.
