PLAN SCHOOL WORK
Board of Education Committee
Holds Session.
HIGH SCHOOL NATTER UP
EFFORTS BEING MADE TO COR
RECT MR.. MoYLE.

For three or four hours last evening
the board of education committee on
teachers and school work, with Super
intendent Cooper associated, was in
session discussing important matters
relating to the reOpening of the schools
on Monday, Sept. 10. 1t was expected
that the superintendent assignment of
teachers would receive attention pre-
liminary to. reporting to the board for
approval, bat the midnight hour arriv-
ed before the subject was reached, and
the matter went over for few days.
However, not a little time was de-
voted to discussing the High school
principalship. All conceded the neces-
sity OF definite action without further
delay, either to elect Superintendent
COOper's nominee, Professor H. NJ. Hart
of Pueblo, Colo. or the preference of
Mr.. Bamberger, Principal Eaton Of the
Ogden High school.
Trying to Win Moyle Over
Inasmuch as Mr.. Moyle has been con-
sidered as holding the balance of power
in the boards deadlock, it was deemed
a nice opportunity TO discuss the pro-
prieties of sustaining the superintend-
ent in such a matter as this, since he
had made fuller inquiries as to the
qualifications of all of the candidates
than had any of the members of the
board. 1t was also pointed out for the
benefit of MIR. Moyle that it might be
imprudent to set the new precedent of
electing a principal for whom some
people would probably feel the neceS-
sity of making an apology.
OF course, it will not be known until
the question comes to a vote in the
board meeting, at an early date, what
success, If any, was met with in at
tempting TO convert Mr.. Moyle, but it
is regarded as likely that President VIII
son will not leave for the east, as he
expects TO do, in a day or two, until
he has arranged to pair his vote with
one of the members who faVors the
election of Professor Eaton. If this is
done 1t will result in the choosing of
the superintendent's nominee without
waiting for the return of Mr. Walker,
who is not expected back from Califor-
MIA for at least couple of weeks yet.
New Principal of Fremont.
To succeed w. T. Edding1ieid as prin-
eipal of the Fremont school. the COM
mittee decided to recommend the cleo
ton of w. A. Wetzell of the High
school corps, filling his place in the
High school by transferring Miss Eliz-
abeth Clarahan of the Lowell.
w. S. Wallace, one of the instructors
at the Franklin school, was selected for
the principalship of the school to be
maintained at the old quarters of the
university, where the normal training
school has been conducted. This ar
rangement viii not interfere with Pro-
fessor Mcknight in his principalship
Of the training school, which will be
located in the new buildings of the
State University on the east bench.
Leaves of absence for a year were
granted to Miss Mary Meeks and Miss
Hilda Youngberg of the teaching corps.
Professor Eddingfield, late principal or
the Fremont school, who recently Sc
cured a position in the treasury de-
partment at Washington, and Miss For
sythe, principal Of the Ninth school.
who is now in Alaska, applied for leaves
of absence of three months, but the
committee declined to grant them for
such short time because to do so would
interfere with the school work.
