A conference Of supervising principals
with the superintendent and his assistants
Is scheduled to be held this afternoon,
when, 1t Is understood. matters OF policy
and generalities of the management Of the

Examination Tomorrow.
It was stated at the Franklin building
this morning that DR.. Chancellor has de-
cided to hold the examination for candi-
dates for high school principalships tomor-
row, the 18th of the month. instead of
Thursday, the 18th. At the time of the an
nouncement that the examination would be
held Thursday there was considerable I'M
favorable comment on account Of the late
ness Of the date. the day for the opening Of
school being next Monday.
The board Of education will meet to pass
upon DR.. ChancellOr's recommendations for
these Offices Wednesday at pm. instead
of Saturday, which was the date set by
the board at its last meeting. 1t has been
pointed out to the members Of the board
that this date was very late and would give
the new principals practically no time to
get matters into proper shape for the open
ing Of the schools, and it is thought to be
very probable that the board may decide
to dispose Of this matter earlier than Sat
urday.
