more than one year, but if the man was
 a good man he is kept from year tt
 year. So if we gct good superinten
 dent of schools he can be kept for more
 than two years. We have had super
 intendents here who ought not to stay
 more than seven days, and we may get
 more like them"
 Alderman Hogan took part in the dis.
 cussion and said: T know of no way
 in which We can strike at the board ot
 education and the superintendent un-
 less by some such charter provision as
 this one proposed now. We know ot
 some things done by the board of edu-
 cation that are not right. For in
 stance, graduates of the New Haven
 High school are turned down when
 they apply for positions as teachers in
 the city schools, and teachers are
 brought in from outside. Graduates of
 New Haven schools are told that they
 must teach somewhere else for six months before they can secure teachers positions here" The question was then
 put on Alderman Dewell's motion for
 amendment and it was passed by a vote Of 10 to g.
