REPORT EXPECTED.
Board of Education to Take Up In
vestieation of Office Force,

At the meeting of the board of education
this afternoon at the Franklin building 1t
is expected that the long delayed report on
the investigation of the Office force will
come up for consideration. This matter has
been suppressed so many times already,
however, that there can be no certainty
as to its consideration at this time.
rather eventful meeting is expected.
Among the questions that will probably
be again taken up is the case of Arthur
L. Craig. a teacher at the Armstrong
Manual Training School, colored. whose
dismissal was recommended by Superin-
tendent Chancellor, but who. it is said. is
to be given opportunity to apologize
for his alleged misconduct and transferred
to the NJ Street High School. where he will
no longer have his superior Principal W.
Bruce Evans, with whom he has become
unpopular.

that white lace blouses will be worn
