CITY HIGH SCHOOL
A Committee Empowered
to Appoint Principal
and Select Site.

The Raleigh School Board yesterday
afternoon passed a measure which it
hopes will place this city on an equal
ity with any city in the State in regard
10 local educational facilities. The
board decided to esta blish a city high
school, and Mr.. Hugh Morson, princi-
pay of the Raleigh Male Academy, was
elected to govern it A. special COM
mittee consisting of DIR. r. H. Lewis
and Mr. Garland S. Jones, the perma-
nent committee on teachers, and Mr..
j. W. Bailey, was appointed to tender
the position of superintendent of the
high school to Mr. Morson and to
stfpulate tho amount of salary he Will
receive. The committee was also en-
powered to select the site for the
school and determine whether a new
building shall be erected, or one of the
present schools utilized for the high
school.
Although the high school of course.
will be one of the city institutions, 1t
was said last night that il will not be
under the supervision of the city SUI
perintendent Of schools. There has
been some complaint as to the teaching
of the higher branches in the present
system. and for several months the
board has been contemplating the Gre
alton of the new department. The
lower grades-from the first to fourth
are taught with great excellence, but
a change. it was said, seemed impera-
tive in the higher studies and courses
