Twenty one Men Want
School Superintendency.
COME FROM FAR AND NEAR
Some Prominent Educators
in the List.
School Board Members VIII Have
no Easy Task in Making the Sell
ection and arc Already quite
Busy.

Twenty-one applications for the po-
sition of superintendent OF the Marion
public schools have been received by
Clerk o. @. Briggs, of the board of
education, and more are coming in
almost daily. Evidence points to the
fact that the local board will have
plenty of talent in line for the place
and that man of the type whom the
majority of the members desire, may
easily be found.
Among those who are applicants for
the position are some of the foremost
educators of the country. Many,
who have occupied prominent posi-
tions in educational fields, are appli-
cants for the place srd IL is shown
that the superintendency of the local
schools is n position of no mean i'm
portance from the viewpoint of edu-
cational men. The applications come
from many parts of the country and
the news of the vacancy in Marion has
been spread far and wide.
AS to the local talent in line for the
place there is very little to be con-
sdered at this time. Practically the
oIliy man Wnon as Deen mentioned III

in Marion has been X. II. Marshall,
the newly elected High school prin-
cipal. r. Marshall has demonstrate
ed his ability in the High school and

feel favorably toward him.
The fight is on for the place and
it is expected that there will be n

STIRRING UP
RELIGIOUS ROW
Bishop Mcdowell Replies
to the Statement of
Archbishop Ireland.
BY United Press Wire.

Chicago. Feb. 9-"The work of the
Methodist association in Rome is not
one whit more 'perniciously prose-
lyting' than the work of the Paulist
fathers and other Catholic organiza-
tions in America. Such charges are
simply slander and such statement
Is utterly unbecoming a church dig
nitary like Archbishop Ireland" Z"
Replying in these words to the
statement issued by Archbishop Ire
land yesterday, Bishop William Il.
Mcdowell, of the Methodist diocese
of Chicago today further STIRRED up
the religious row which has resulted
from the withdrawal by Pope Plus of
his audience to former Vice President
Fairbanks of the United States be-
cause he delivered an address before
the Methodist association of Rome.
anyone who knows the work in
Rome" Bishop Mcdowell continued.
knows 1t speaks for itself. 1t has
the approval and support of many of
the best citizens of Rome. don't
care, of course, to defend our work
in Italy, but IL is evident that Arch
bishop ireland from his interview is
greatly disturbed by what has been
done. Nobody in this case appears
in a bad light, but the Pope's advisors
and possibly the Pope himself"
DR.. William E. Barton, a prom
inent Methodist minister, approved
this statement and added:
II speak in no sectarian bitterness
but the Pope seems to me to have
done a petty thing and would have
shown himself greater man II he
had ignored the matter and extended
II welcome to Mr.. Fairbanks"
