nation OF the principals of two OF
the buildings. The principalship of
Miss iMapes at the State ~street build

Miss Dell I. Grey at the Olney
Avenue building. The matter of
electing a male principal came up
and was we'll considered. Clerk Hiu
thought that at the Central building
where there were two eights grades
there ought to be a male principal.
Many OF the others coincided in this
opinion and the idea of employing
male teachers in the graded schools
seemed very favorable. However
Misses Mildred Dickerson and Emma
Cunningham were elected to fill the
vacancies in the principalships in
the schools. They will be assigned
to work by Mr.. Frank.

seemed in favor OF the Gregg sys
