ular Head OF our Schools.
1t will be seen from the appended
extract from today's Raleigh News and
Observer, that Mr.. A. E. Woltz, the SO
efficient and satisfactory superintend-
ent of Goldsboro's public schools, has
been elected bursar of the University; !;
but as Mr.. Woltz is now in Denver, at
tending the National Education Asso-
citation, we are unable to learn from
authentic source whether he is to ac-
cept his new preferment or to remain
at the head of our city schools. That
he has been elected would indicate on
it's face that he had knowledge of the
opportunity, and therefore it looks as
if he is to leave us. The Argus. how
ever, hopes that he may be persuaded
TO stand by ris great WORK here.
which he has sustained with such
splendid ability and With such gratify-
ing success.
