"Too Much Sameness.'

Superintendent Chancellor replied that
rumors of this kind were likely to be
confused and enlarged upon passing
from school to school, but that he was
obliged to state that he had noticed
too much sameneSs in some OF the SUI
pervisors' markings"

1t is understood that Miss Morton will

routine business by the board was enli-
vened by several tits among members,
ono of them being occasioned when,

Baird, who was absent from the city
while the investigation of the charges
against Craig was in progress, seemed
to take exception TO the withdrawal Of

Incident Closed.

The incident was closed by the fling

accompanied by Mr.. Evans letter OF
withdrawal and the Craig matter was
brought to an end.
Another tilt occurred when Admiral
Baird produced a letter from the High
School Teachers Association containing
a report of the availability of certain
text books. Captain Oyster was inclined
to resent this as purporting 10 in
fiuence tire boards action in selecting
the books. and he insisted at first that
il should be respectfully returned with
out reading or action on being In
formed by members Of the board shat
the report was evidently sent in spirit
of cooperation by the Teachers Asso-
ciation and not in a dictatorial manner,
Captain Oyster seconded a motion that
il be referred to the text book committee
with power TO act
Several petitions were received from
the elder tanitors who were dismissed
at the last meeting, asking for recon-
sideration Of their cases. These were all
referred to the committee on janitors.
The Washington times., 1907-06-21

As forecasted in The Times, the Board
of Education at its meeting yesterday
approved the recommendation of Super
intendent Chancellor that a change OF
principalship be made in Normal School
No. ,. in consequence OF which Miss
Lucy f. Morton, the present incumbent,
will be removed
This action was held up by one of the
coiored members Of the board two weeks
ago, the inference being that the super
intendent's recommendation was so
worded as TO imply dismissal of Miss
Morton. The recommendation approved
yesterday has the same effect but pro-
vides that the board of examiners for
colored schools shall hold an examina-
ton to I'LL the position and continues:
Il make this recommendation with the
understanding that it be considered
equivalent to a notice to the present in
cumbent that, IL a satisfactory candidate
is found, her services will be dispensed
with on the ground OF her physical dis
ability to perform the work satisfac-
torily."
