City School System.
MORE SITTING ON MONDAY
FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION
By EDUCATION BOARD.
all the Local Applicants Still On the
List-Some Names Considered
Who Have Not Applied-several
From the East VIII Come Here
For Consultation.

The board of education, in commit
tee of the whole in executive session
made another forward movement yes
tegday afternoon in the selection of a
superintendent OF schools to fill the po-
sitdoE that became vacant last Christ
mas by the resignation Of DR.. ]. Il
MillsElaugh. From the ninety odd ap-
plications and endorsements, both those
tendered and solicited, the sub-commit-
tee of the committee on teachers and
school work have sifted out about
twenty names to be further considered.
1t was stated on Friday that the conf
ndttee had sifted down the heap of APP
plicatiOns to four or five, but this
statement was slightly in error as to The
number 10 recaiVe further considera-
ton. As a matter of fact, the meet
ing yesterday did not accomplish as
much as had been anticipated, although
1t was a harmonious session, but at the
meeting to be held Monday afternoon
1T is expected some more sitting will be
done.
By reason of the fact that many of
the names considered by the board for
the vacant SUPPLEMENTARY are those
OF prominent eastern educators who
have consented to entertain proposals
TO succeed Dr. AIillspaugh, with the
understanding that no public mention
be made of the fact III a manner that
might be embarrassing to them, the
members of the board decline to state
who are included in schedule a. as
reported by the subcommittee. How
ever, it is KNOWN that the sifted list
contains the names of Professors Joshua
H., Paul and William @. Roylance Of
Salt Lake. Z. A. Stranger of Park City,
William Allison, H. w. Ring, e. W.
Anderson of Ogden, j. w. Daniels of
Boise, superintendent Frank b. Cooper
OF Des Moines, Superintendent Frank
?. Smith of Lawrence, kan; George
w. WinanS~ of Hutchinson, Kan; W. J.
White of Dayton, o.; E. NJ. Van Pat
ten of Bloomington, Ills; Frank NJ
Jack of Milwaukee, Eugene c. Stew
ems of Denver, ]. A. Hamburger and
John A. Hancock Of Chicago and Mr.
Vert mailing place not given.
At firsE IL was proposed that the APP
pllcants, both announced and solicited
in the sffted list, be invited to come be-
fore the board for consultation, but it
was concluded that this would be I'M
necessary, since 1t was known that sew
eral OF the gentlemen named would ar
rive in this city during the coming
week to enable the board ito size them
up. photograph accompanies nearly
every application.
SUB REPORT.
At yesterdays meeting the sub-coln-
mlttee on selection Of superintendent
submitted the following report, which
was adopted:
Your subcommittee appointed by
resolution of Feb. ? 1899 beg leave to
report that they have had the matters
referred to them undea consideration;
that they nave examined all of the APP
plieations and Recommendations nc
companying the same; that, as directed
by the said resolution, they have also
correSponded with and invited other
persons than those who have made for
mai application, and after such con-
sideration we hereby report back to this
board the correspondence, applications
and recommendation accompanying
the same
There have been a large number OF
applications for the position OF super
intendent, and a large number of rec
concentrations accompanying each, and
after such examination we hereby re-
port backGhe same. and in the accom-
panyillg schedule "A are the names of
such per9cnS as we report back to this
board for further consideration. Many
of these persons are not applicants for
the position, but from correspondence
we have had with them and with other
persons who have urged their selection,
We have entered them upon this list as
persons to be considered.
I'VE also report back the balance Of
the applications, together with their
recommendations, that the same may
be before this committee and before
the board, but from the recommended
tionS filed and from their experience, as
it is set forth in the recommendations
and applications, we thought ii doubt
full whether the committee would care
TO consider them further, unless some
further information than that now on
file should be brought to the attention
of the committee.
In making this report, we only sug-
gesE to the committee the names in
schedule A for further careful, con-
siderate action on the part Of the COM
mittee. without mentioning any names
or making any distinctions. We recon-
mend that an executive session of the
committee on teachers and school work
be called for the consideration of this
subject and of this report at an early
day. Respectfully submitted,
