Ihe appointment of JanltOr for No.

discussion Mt the meeting of the Board
Of Education last night. DR.. A Il.
Frantz, chairman of the heat, light and
ventilation committee reported that a
man named King had been selected as
janitor for the schoUl In place of Jani-
tor Chandler, who has been stricken with
paralysis.
| He said he had examined Mr.. King
and found that he was qualified for the
position as he apparently knew how to
manage the boilers. He recommended
his appointment.
Mr.. ODonnell opposed the motion
holding that Mr.. King should be thor
fnghly examined as to his knowledge
,f boilers. He snid he had had one ex-
nerience with him and that he had de-
'iberately broken n water gauge on the
boiler. He explained this charge
saying that Mr.. King had broken the
gauge by placing iron bars against it,
when he had no business to place the
',ars there.
DIR. Frantz again snid he had ex-
lmined Mr. King and believed he would
give satisfaction in the position, where
rpon Mr.. O'Donnell made stronger OBJ
lection than before and declared that the
man was not fitted for the position.
This brought Dir. Frantz to his feet
again and in emphatic remarks he told
Mr.. O'Donnell that he knew his duties

he made it point always to execute
them faithfully. He also said the board
could make the appointment or not, as
Lit saw fit. His motion to make the
