PROF. GEORGE o. MBRooM
Seems to BE FavOrite and Many Have
Signed Petition Asking for a
His appointment. d
LOCAL MAN FOR PRINCIPAL

Indications point strongly now to-
ward local man as superintendent
of the public schools The three out
of-town applicants have been seen
and from expressions heard from the
board, they do not stand the chances
of the local men on comparison. In
the applications for principal of the
High school, 1t is settled practically
that local man will secure the po-
sition, Professors c. A. Norvell and
w. H. Sugg being the leading candi-
dates. Among the principals and
Teaching corps, no great shaking up
is anticipated now by the board At
Tuesday nights meeting, the school
enumerators will be elected. the two
applicants being G. H. Brown and j.
NJ. Gilbert.
Prof. George McBroom is leading
candidate for the superintendency. a
petition having been circulated IA
vorable to him.
Since The Suns exclusive an
Inouncement of the names of six APP
lplicants for the superintendency of
the Paducan public schools. a great
deal Of interest in the three "outsid-
ers" is manifested. A consultation of
Brewers superintendent Directory
shows the only authentic figures of
the size of schools over which each
has jurisdiction.
Supt. S. H. spragins, Of Helena,
Ark, has total enrolment In his
schools of 900. and there are five ne
groes to one white pupil.
Aberdeen, Miss, in charge of supt.
W. Y. Thornbury, has an enrolment
of GO.
Noblesville. Ind, supt. John A.
Carpagey. has an enrolment Of L.
S75.
In the Paducah schools there is
total enrolment of 300. over 1000
being in the Washington building.
This will show that two of the ap-
plicants have less enrolment in all
their schools than there are In one or
the eight buildings in Paducah.
