 The meeting of yesterday morning had been postponed from the previous day when the presidents of the eight other agricultural schools had been elected for the coming year. At this meeting, a representative of certain people in the First District had appear ed to oppose the reelection of Profes- sor Allen, who has been in charge of the Jackson school for the last four years. During that time. 1t is assert ed by members of the Board. he has built the institution up to a high plane of efficiency. The representative from Jackson, however, said that a number of people in that neighborhood opposed the retention of Professor Allen as president. owing to certain trouble of a disciplinary nature.

 When the late Mayor Thomas H. Carr came to the leadership of the city government. the City Council again adopted resolutions for the demolition of the school but, again acting upon the advice of Mir. Ford. Mir. Carr de- clined to execute the resolutions. Recently the question came into pub lie notice again and Mayor W. NJ. Teague yesterday directed City En- gineer Gilchrist to have the building torn away.
 Work of tearing down the school house will be started as soon as can get contract for it." said the City Engineer. Of course, that will take several days. but we expect to have everything in readiness to began tear ing away the school next week"
 The Chiffon High School has stood in Montgomery for years. It received its name from the fact that before the Central High School was built. 1t was used as a high school for girls. Soon after the new sayre Street School house was built, the attendance grew to such an extent that it became necs essary to use the Chiffon High School house as an annex for the children and, since then it has been steadily used for this purpose, even through the past scholastic year. By numbHs it has been thought to be unsafe and, in some instances, parents have plead

 When the Hoard met yesterday, those present were Governor Jelks, Commis- sioner of Agriculture R. H. Poole. Su- perntendent of Education Isaac w Hill. and C. K. Powe and S. A. Adams of Jackson, the local trustees Of the First District School The Board inn mediately proceeded to the reelection of President Allen as head of the Jack son institution, the choice being made without dissenting vote.
 President Allen refused to accept the election The opposition which has de- veloped in his district influenced him in the belief that ths work of the school hereafter would be hampered if he were to go in the face of the dis satisfied persons in his neighborhood He therefore rendered his resignation which was accepted by the Board with regret. The resolutions of the Board were drawn up later.
 MT. Hall, who was later chosen pres ident of the First District School, comes from Miami. Fla. where he has been Superintendent of the public schools for the last four years. He was re- elected recently to serve another term at an increased salary. but owing to the climate he decided to leave that state.

W. W.

Professor Ollen was re- elected by the unani- nous vote of the Board. and 1t was only upon his resignation of his .office that Mir. Hall was chosen.
 The withdrawal of Professor Allen was the cause of expressions of regret from the members of the Board, and set of resolutions was drawn uD and passed, indicative of the warm appre- citation of the Board of the manner in which the principal of the Jackson school has conducted his institution Speaking of his resignation afterward Governor Ielks said:

- We expect to begin tearing down the Chiffon School building next week"
 These significant words came from City Engineer A. R. Gilchrist yester- day afternoon.
 For more than two years the impor- tant question of raging the old Chiffon High School building on Sayre street has been before the people of Mont Eomery clamor for the tearing down of the school was first heard during the administration of the late Mayor E. B. Joseph At that time. the City Council adopted meas ures reciting the belief that the build ing was unsafe and directing that 1t be razed. Mayor Joseph, however, sought the advice of the late City Engineer D. w. Ford, who gave as his opinion that the Chiffon High School was entirely safe. Therefore, Mir. Joseph, acting upon this advice. de- clined to execute the measures adopted by the Council. and the building con. tinued to stand and not be used for

ed for better place to which 10 send their children for school. The school house Is two-story brick structure.
 With the demolition of the Chiffon High School, a problem will be pre- sented for the accommodation of the children of the Sayre Street School It is known that there is ample capac- ity in the suburban schools to take care of the overflow and 1t has been said that the city may decide to send a great many of the Sayre street pu- pills to these suburban schools Such plan, 1t has been suggested, would necessitate the re-districting of the schools of Montgomery. Nevertheless, al the present time, no arrangements have been made for the pupils who attended the Chiffon school.
 It will require about three weeks to rage the building and the old material will be distributed in different parts of the city for utilization in other lines of work
