Our local contemporary, The Star,
acquaints US with a contemplated
change in the head of our schools.
The present incumbent, Mr.. A. T.
Stuart, has served us long and well,
therefore we do not care to give up
such a loyal head who has lifted the
schools over many obstacles to their
present high standard. But, on the
contrary, if he cannot be induced to
continue in the system, we, the pub
lie, still having faith in the integrity
and wisdom of the Board, will sup
port any one they may see fit to select.
Permit US to suggest as suitable
list from which to draw, the names
of the following persons: Messrs.
Percy M. Hughes, Mr.. Kramer, or
any OF our former school officials
who are now in-the schools of New
York at work.
