COMMITTEE WAITING


The special committee appointed by ths

superintendent Of schools Il awaiting de-
ve,opments growing out Of measures that
have already been taken. Prominent among
the matters pending IN this connection, It .
said. Is the reply Of superintendent Calvin
N. Kendall OF the public schools Of Indian-
spoh4 Ind. to whom the committee has.
as stated In The Star. rendered the position
IA 30 far an Il has the authority to make
the proHer.
There was no meeting OF the committee
this morning, and It was announced this az
ternoon that no call for session had been
made. It Is probable that when tho COM
mitteemen are called together again It will
pc to consider the expected reply OF Super
under advisement for several days
The local school situation is attracting
the attention OF educators all over the coun-
try. and persons In many states are being
suggested for the position. Among the
names recently mentioned In this connec-
ton Is that OF Representative James T. Nc
Cleary Of Mankato Mimi, who Is known at
home as Prof McCieary. Word comes from
st. Paul that he may be considered In q
certain contingency, but his name has not
been directly brought to the attention OF
the special committee. In fact. 1t Is stated.
the committeeman know nothing Of the sug-
gestton. except through hear.,ay.
As to whether Prof. McCleary would ac-
cept. II rendered the Office, is q question.
Advices from his home state are that he
win have a hard fight this fall for re-
nomination In the second district, owing TO
the opposition which his so-called stand
pat" platform is said to be receiving. In
that event, 1t is stated. he might favorably
consider proposition to become the super
vising head of the public schools of the
capital city. But even at that Prof. Nc
Cleary's services would not be available
until next spring as his present term in the
House viii not expire until the close of the
