thing but pleasant to contemplate at

The trustees met this year as they
have done heretofore, and proceeded
to elect a superintendent 1t SO hap

cessful candidate. and the Council this
week, at it's regular meeting. declared
no election of superintendent. But for
the fact that the academy is the center
of separate school district and thus
divides the school revenues heretofore
might not complicate school matters
but the city is not able to support a
public school from funds at its com
mand. In view of the fact that the
city has no suitable building the COM
plication appears to be serious.
Prof. George White, Jr.. who has
been the, s9perintend~Dt Of the city
the last three years, is well-known
here. he having taught for three years
prior to his election as assistant prin-
clpal to Prof. II. M. Andrews.
The school has the largest enroll
ment for the scholastic year drawing
There are some who claim the city
will be entitled to the possession of
the academy building. and all the pub
