BOARD MAKES
FEW CHANGES

ised Mr.. Davis to vote for film if Con-
troller EynOn recommended him, and
while he was not disposed to vote to
oust an old teacher, he had given his
word and must abide by it.
Mr.. Jayne stated that while he would
like to support the controller of a ward
in making an appointment in his ward,
he did not like to do it at the expense
of an old teacher.
Mr.. jennings also thought it right
and proper that a controllers advice
in appointments should prevail under
ordinary circumstances, but in this
case the circumstances were not oidi-
nary. Mr. Eynon's choice was young
man just out of a normal school, who
never graduated from the High school,
who had no experience as a teacher,
and who consequently should be seek
! ing subordinate position, rather than
one that ought to go to some old and
experienced teacher
Mr. Evans said he wanted to support
Mr.. Davis, but he could not bring him
self to vote against Mr.. Phillips. II
was going to vote for Mr.. Davis. but
| they have got this thing befuddled so
that | can't vote for him." declared
| Mr.. Evans.
Mr. Barker, chairman of the teach
crs' committee, declared that the COM
mittee was willing to give Mr.. Davis
subordinate position, but Mr.. Eynon
| insisted on having him appointed a
principal or nothing. The committee,
Mr.. Barker explained, felt that it could
not prefer Mr.. Davis to so many old
and experienced teachers who are wait
! ing for promotions.
! Mr.. Langan had promised his sup
port to Mr. Davis, but when ii had
come to pass where he would have
/ to vote against,Mr Phillips to vote for
! Mr.. Davis, he would have to refuse, for
| he had previously assured Mr.. Phil
| lips that when he was ready to resume
| teaching place would be made for
| him.
President Gibbons took the floor to
! have say on the subject. His arSu-
mcnt was that Mr.. Davis had spent
only year and four months at a nor
NAL school, after preparing at gram
mar school, and to appoint him to $9C
a month position would not be fair &c
the experienced teachers who have beer
serving the district for years.
Mr.. Eynon again took the floor and
| said that he was not insisting thdt Mr
Davis be made principal of No, -. lie
was insisting, though, that he had the
right to an appointment in his ward
and that the appointment should go tC

SILK WILL BE HIGH.
Consul ut Coburg States That Disc
turbances in China Seriously Az
feet SILK and Tea Trade.

The consequences of the disturb
ances in China are being seriously felt
in the silk and tea trades, says Con-
sui Hughes, at Coburg, Germany, in a
communication to the state depart
ment. While the estimated Chinese
production of silk for last year is es-
timated at s,s2o,7oo pounds, which -
by no means bad result in ,.se,f
yet the uncertain conditions of bnsi.
ness make 1t rather risky to imnort
Chinese goods. THIS has caused a. de.
mand OF syy-rian silk goods. Unfor-
=, auhate!.y, the present silk crop in
irkey is not very good, so that a rise
OF prices is probable. The tea trade.
states Mr.. Hughes, is in similar po-
sition. Insurance companies do not
like to run the risks and refuse to in
sure Chinese goods while banks have
ceased to advance money on this kind
OF merchandise. Fac Ceylon tea plan
tations, concludes the consul, will
benefit by these conditions.
