INTERESTING REPORT MADE IN

a report was received in the Senate
on Saturday from the special com.

resolution No. So relative to the APP
pointment by the school commissioners
of Miss Hadley as principal of the La

had been recommended by the Superin-
teudent of Education and the inspectors
of the school department The report
went into detail over the inquiry that
had been made with the board Of edu-
cation over the appointment of Miss
Hadley The report stated that It was
learned that a rule of the board of
education requiring persons to be APP
pointed to the principalship of elemen-
tary schools with an enrolment of 200
or more pupils should have gram
mar grade certificate, had been vio-
lated in the selection of Miss Hadley
as she had not held any such certif-
cate
The committee favord the appoint
ment of a man to the principalship of
this school and in this connection the
report concludes
Your committee believes that a man
should if available, be appointed prin-
cipal of schools of such size and i'm
portance, and feel that this appointment
was hastily made and illadvised in all
respects and that due consideration
was not given to the unanimous reports
of all the inspectors concerned and
that further time should have been
taken in the matter. That the size and
Importance of this school requires that
the rule governing the appointment of
principals to such schools be applied
in this instance, and that the reports
Of various inspectors be given at least
some consideration in making appoint
ments in our schools.
"Your committee believe that the best
interests of the department would be
obtained by having the board of COM
missioners acting and sitting as an
advisory board without voting power.
This would give the people represen-
tation and would gradually lead up to
county representation in educational
affairs, which has been recommended by
the majority of the voters of. the Ter
ritory."
