HARD FIGHT ON
POSTAL BANKS
Signs That Several Senators Have
Changed Their OPP
inions.
BANKERS MAKE A CAMPAIGN.

mission Converted

BANKERS MAKE A CAMPAIGN

WASHINGTON December IA
thorny path confronts the postal saw
ings bank bill, in spite of the fact that
it's passage is advocated in the Repub-
lican national platform. When Senator
Carter secured a special order to take
up his measure on December 14th it
is said he had pledges of sufficient
votes to pass the bill in the Senate.
The situation seems to have changed,
and at present it is doubtful whether
Senator Carter can rally anywhere
near the required number. In fact,
it us said that he will fall short
dozen votes on the Republican side.
Investigations conducted abroad by
members of the National Monetary
Commission are largely responsible for
this change of sentiment in regard to
the establishment of postal savings
banks. Several members are now on
record in favor of the Government
keeping out of the bank business ra-
Their than engaging in this new po-
Icy.
Chairman Aldrich is ready to take a
positive stand against the passage of
the bill and will have the support of a
large number of the Senators because
of the opposition of small bankers
throughout the country. These have
inaugurated a campaign against the
bill, and already have taken steps to
flood their Senators and Congressman
with protests against its enactment
They urge that the state and savings
banks are necessary to communities
The position is taken further that
these small banks in many instances
will be driven out of business by the
postal banks.
In view of the opposition the pros
pect is that no vote will be obtained
on the postal savings bank bill or
December 14th or on any day in the
immediate future. If Senator Garter
should be able to bring the bill to q
vote the chance of its passage is con
sidered small.

TEACHERS FOR
,@taIY SCHOOLS
III
WITH i5NE EXCEPTION PROF. 5os-
TICKS NOMINATIONS ARE
CONFIRMED BY BOARD.
TWO VACANCIES YET TO FILL
Effort to Elect Teacher Who Was Not
Examined Fails on a
Tie Vote.

Teachers for the city schools were
elected at meeting of the City Board
Of Education held Tuesday night. Two
vacancies are yet to be filed and an
other meeting will be held next week
to elect teachers for these places. One
of the nominations submitted by Prof.
Bostick, the principal, was turned
down, although the young lady nom
mated had passed the requisite exam
nation, and an effort was made TO sus-
pend the rules and elect a teacher who
had not submitted to the examination,
but the motion failed by a vote of
five to five.
The attendance at the meeting was
larger than usual all of the members
being present. This is somewhat I'M
usual as several of the members have
had in the past very serious cases of
"absenteeism,' one or two very seldom
putting in an appearance at the reg
ular meetings while there are mem
bers who rather infreGueAtly visit the
schools over which they are supposed
to exercise official supervision.
The following teachers were NOM
mated for the high school by Princi-
pal Bostick: w. P Morton and Miss
Mary Carpenter, co-principals. They
were confirmed by the Board without
opposition, but when the nominations
for the grammar school were submit
ted snag was encountered and Miss
McAfee was rejected by vote OF
three to seven. She has passed the
requisite examinations and is highly
recommended by the principal.
The following nominations for the
grammar school were confirmed: Miss
Inez Kelly. Mrs. c. w. Mitchell and
Miss Alleen Overton. Primary teach
ers were nominated and elected as
follows: Miss Charlotte Wilkins,
Miss Carrie Smith, Miss Sadie Not
grass and J. W. Journey. Miss Viii
kins was also elected teacher of music
of the first four grades, and Miss Cam
mile Herndon was elected teacher OF
music from grades five to eleven. Miss
Winfrie Church was elected substi !
tute teacher. An assistant first grade
teacher is yet to be nominated and
elected.
All of those nominated by Prof. Bos-
tick have qualified as teachers and J
he stated that they were the only
ones who had.
After refusing to confirm the NOM |
nation of Miss Emma McAfee, Mr..
Wiley moved that the rules which re-
quire certain grades on examination
tc qualify the teachers, be suspended
and that Miss Lucy E. Floyd be elect
ed to the position to which Miss Nc
Afee had been nominated. The mo-
ton failed by the following vote:
Ayes: Messrs. Perry, Wiley, Yoest,
Biddle and Figuers, 5.
Noes: Messrs. Erwin, GreenlaW,
Cakes. Salmon and Ashton 5.
The Board then ordered another eX-
animation to be held at the Atne-
naeum on next Friday for teachers to
fill the two vacancies. 1t is under
stood that at the next meeting another
effort will be made to elect Miss Floyd.
