last year OF his term and an established Gus
tom of the board favors an outgoing member
for the office of president. He has occupied
the presidents chair during the present
year, but owing to active participation In
the exposition management has been unable
to devote as much time to school work as
he otherwise probably would. Mr.. Burgess
is now serving his sixth year as
a member Of the board having previously
completed a two-year term. He is there
fore also qualified for the executive position
as far as long experience with methods
now in force is concerned. Mr. Hayward,
now president OF the Commercial club, lacks
the experience of his colleagues, this being
only his second year on the board. He
would be held as an eligible candidate, how
ever. in case no agreement could be reached
upon either of the others.
In case the forecasted combine succeeds in
holding together the seven minority mem
bers would consider it idle to put forward an
active candidate for the president. They will
probably content themselves with an eX-
change Of complimentary votes, looking in
the meantime for any opening which might
swing the new members in their direction.
An effort has been made by persons in
terested to inject side issues into the organ
ization, aside from the simple choice OF pres
ident and appointment of committees. The
architects conflict has been used an in
fuence, together with contentious regarding
the superintendency and various contracts.
The new members are making an effort to
keep out of these fights, however, until after
they have formally taken their seats in jan
uary and an organization has been formed
The important committees which the new
members will be able to control by present
ing a united front are those on buildings
and property, on heating and ventilation; on
supplies, on High school and on teachers.
Through these committees pass all the
transactions of consequence relating to the
city schools. They have in charge respect
lively the hiring of workmen, oversight Of
the janitor service, the purchase Of books
and other material and the employment OF
teachers
