The Board of Education held a spe-
cial meeting last night and much bu-
siness of Importance was transacted.
The most important was the filing
of the vacant principalships. J.. M.
Powell, who for the past year has
been superintendent of the schools
at Clayton, was elected principal of
the High School MI. Powell has held
this same position before and gave
eminent satisfaction. He has been
erelected at Clayton at a higher saIa-
ry than he is to receive here but pre-
fers the principalship of the high
school in Roswell to the Superintend-
ency at Clayton.
Frank Caroon was elected to the
principalship of the building on Mil
itary Hill, and C. d. Thompson to
the Pr%incipalship of the Pauley build
ing. Both these gentlemen are recon
mended as most excellent teachers
and disciDlinarians.
Mrs. Wandless was elected princi-
pal of the grades in the Central build
ing. For two years past Mrs. Wand
less has conducted most successfully
a Kindergarten. She is a college grad
uate n has had experience in high
school work as well as primary and
kindergarten work. A lady of educa-
ton and high refinement, she will be
eminently successful in the work as
signed her.
The Board made an increase of sal
aries all along the line. The salary
schedule will be made public in a
few days.
The building on Military Heights
was named the Mark, Howell building.
1t was also decided shat all teachers
in the city schools must hold a first
grade certificate by September 1st
or the contracts will hen be revoked.
