MILLS CHOSEN
SUPERINTENDENT
weber Academy Teacher Cho-
sen as Head of the City
School System.

john NJ. Mills was unanimously elected
superintendent of the Ogden city schools
by the board OF education last night The
vote was taken on the motion Of Asael
FAIR. This action was taken in open meet
ing after the board had wrestled with the
proposition for upward of an hour in ex-
ecutive session. 1t is understood that
Coulter and Pingree favored the election
of Henry Welsh of Salt Lake City, but
were unable to swing any one of the
other three members to their way of
thinking Browning, Williams and Farr
were not united on a candidate and the
election of Mills was the result Of a COM
promise
In addition to the sixteen candidates al
ready mentioned for this position applic2-
tons were filed last night from Henry
Peterson, Salt Lake City, Arthur Powell,
M1ddletown, O.; Joseph S. Hurst, Emerson,
Neb.; D. II. Adams, Ogden, and d. c. JeD-
sen, Brigham Young college, Logan 1t
is due to Henry Peterson to say that his
application was provisional, and was
withdrawn before the final vote was
taken. Mr.. Mills is a Salt Lake City man
and has family living there, although he
is at present teaching in the business de-
paTtment of Weber academy. He Is a
graduate of the University of Chicago and
holds the degree Of b. of Phi. In ad-
post graduate course in that institution in
anthropology and ethnOlogy. He sue
CSedcd PROFESSOR starr IN conducting the
courses in these two studies when Pro-
fessor Starr was called TO the Philippines.
He taught in the preparatory department
of the L. d. S. university for two years.
While still in Chicago. Professor Mills
was elected to the legislature, and served
for two years He was also a member of
the board of consolidation appointed to ad-
just the course of study in the University
of Utah and the Agricultural college at
Logan He is SIS years of age, and is re-
garded highly by all who know him. He
takes charge of the Ogden city schools
April l. and will receive a salary of $3.50
per year.
Nothing was done last night with refer
ence to the position of assistant superin-
tendent. but the impression prevails that
D II. Adams will hold that position as
heretofore at least for the balance of the
year.
The finance committee last night re
ported a balance on hand of SSI,1SSS9, and
the sanitary committee reported three ad-
diticnsl cases of contagious diseases in the
schools
