cant for this position, although Miss

the High school last year, was men
toned for the position. Some of the
Board, however, favored the election
of a man for the position and so it was
decided to carry the matter over. Miss
Carpenter IS safe tor her position as
High School teacher and If 1t is de-
rioed to elect a woman rs Assistant
Superintendent. she would get the
place.
An appropriation of $3.50 was made
