matter, which is causing Mr.. Spauld-
ing to oppose MIR. Franks election. >"
Mr.. Spaulding arose and in few
words denied absolutely that any per-
GJnal matter was before him. He
STATED that he had voted for Mr..
Frank the first time he was elected
to his present position, and that he
had not voted for him since, owing
to his belief that he was not the best
man for the place, considering the
salary given. In closing his reply,
Mr.. Spaulding asked for information
: as to where the opinion of eny per-
sonal difficulty had its origin, where
upon MIR. Christian said that he
would not tell him in public. At
this point, the argument Of the even
ing was at a high point, and Mr..
Christian gained the floor again. Mr..
Dickerson retired with the crowd and
bacame an interested spectator as
did also President CUTLERY. The fight
was on in earnest the visitors with
the opposing members.
Mr.. Christian repeated his charge
against Mr.. Spaulding and added a
number of statements commendab!e
of the present school system. He
spoke Of the output OF the schools,
, wh!ch is surprisingly good. "The
schools are up to the highest stand
ards" said the speaker. THAT isn't

amining board and thlt ne had hal
occasion to know tina: the schools
were not putting out the product
which they should. In his assertions
Mr.. Jacoby cited "a instance where
there were none who could name two

Jacoby.

they should?'

he sought to confirm the opinions or
IMr. Christian. 'If you would sub

In a brief, well aoMed speech, j..

laminec should delve down into the

lcul.y, which does not lie with the
superintendent.
Mr.. Jaooby replied by saying that

at fault. The argument ensueid with
heated words. when Mr.. Christian
