The committee OF the Board OF Edu-
cation which is considering the selec-
ton Of a superintendent Of schools is
making earnest efforts to reach a de-
cision. Although no tender OF the po-
sition has been made. 1t is considered
exceedingly probable that James II. Van
Sickle. OF Baltimore, will be the next
superintendent.
Conferences of the committee are held
almost daily, Friends Of local candi-
dates and others are given an oypor-
tunity to appear and stata their posi-
tion. Mr.. Van Sickle was before the
committee yesterday, as was A. T Stu
art. former superintendent. The Claims
