OTHER VACANCIES FILLED E!

The State Bonrd of Education adjourned
yesterday after having completed the
election Of county and city supcrintend-
sents for the entire state, with the ex-
ception of Newport News. There o dead
lock between Messrs. John Sheldon Jones
and willis A. jenkins could not be broken,
many Intellectual ballots being had. Com
sequcntly the election Of n superintendent
there went over until q later meeting.
In oil the board elected eighty-three
old superintendent and thlrty-two new
ones, q total of LIS for 1ls cities and
counties. The city Of Winchester and the
county OF Frederick already had ono SUI
perintendent, nndE,he was are-elected for
tho Joint jurisdiction. At a former meet
Ing the board had added Clarke county
to the Winchester Frederick division, but
Mr.. Lynch, the superintendent, wrote a.
letter requesting the board to reconsider
this action in the interest of harmony and
the welfare of the school interests. This
was done. and Mr.. c. G. Massey elected
superintendent for Clarke county, Mr.. NJ
M. Lynch continuing as superintendent
for Frederick and Winchester
Tho counties Of @Accomac and Northalnp-
ton had been combined into one division
and Mr.. G. G.. Joynes, tof Accomac. elect
ed superintendent, but the board Needed
a strong protest from. Northampton and
separated the two, making Luther l.. Not
tingham superintendent for Northamp-
ton. The counties Of Stafford and King
George We're consolidated, anu Mr.. James
Ashby. the old superintendent of Stat
ford. elected for the two counties. The
counties OF Goochland and Cumberland
were combined ALSO and Mr.. c. w Dick
inson, the old superintendent of Cumber-'
land, was placed In charge Of the COM
bined district.
Small Cities Separate.
No other consultations were made. the
small cities OF Radford Fredericksburg
and Williamsburg and the counties in
which they are located, being kept sepa-.
rate and under different superintendent.
In the same way all the smaller and more
sparsely populated counties were con-
tinued as separate school divisions and
each was given its own superintendent.
In the only two consultations made, no
protests were received, and these were
allowed to stand It seems likely that
had strong protest been offered the
board would have reconsidered its action.
Under the present school laws consolida-
lions are difficult, If not impossible, the
salary Of consolidated districts under the
scale of nay provided by law being wholly
inadequate to the labor required. The
board attempted to consolidate King VIII
liam and King and Queen counties, but
Mr.. Garnett, who was selected FOR the
double jurisdiction declined for the rea-
son just stated.
The board completed it's work yester-
day by the election Of the following su-
perntendents: II.
Tazewell. p. H. Williams, reelected;
fredericksburg, B. R. Willis, reelected;
Greene, Dr.. George Y. Jennings, reflect
ed: Madison, Thomas n. Berry and
Clarke county G. 6. Massey. 5;s5.
