RUTHRAUFF'S RETENTION
IN TUCSON SCHOOLS
A Well Organized Effort In His
Behalf.

TUCSON, Ariz., April 17-Tnat the
movement in behalf of the retention
of William NJ. Ruthrauff at the head
of the city schools is a well organized
one is becoming more and more ap-
parent every day. The first public
and definite expression which was
made along these lines was that
when the majority of the teachers in
the public schools signed q petition
asking the board of trustees to re-
quest the superintendent to withdraw
his letter of resignation, which Is
scheduled to take effect the 23d OF
this month.
Yesterday 1t was learned that there
are in circulation quietly over the city
no less than nine petitions which
have for their object the persuasion
of the board to the same end that the
teachers petition contemplated.
These petitions are reported to be
met with frequent signatures and the
hackers of the movement say that
they think that twothirds of the pee
pie of the city viii sign them.
Superintendent Ruthrauff is re
ported 10 be taking absolutely no
part in the movement, although it is
understood that he is not opposed to
the action. He has not announced
any plans different from those given
out at the time Of his resignation. II
was learned yesterday that he had
been asked by the chancellor of the
University of Illinois to fill out an
application for a fellowship in the
normal department Of that institu.
ton and that he contempIates do
ing so, the understanding being that
the board OF regents only await his
formal application to make him 2
tender CT the position.
Tuesday morning the professor was
greeted by a flower shower which
was arranged for him by the pupils
OF the eighth grade. His Office was
literally bower of plants and roses
and he appreciated the occasion very
much.
