In the local graded schools, were
elected at an important meeting of
the city sch ool board last night. The
session was called for the exclusive
purpose of going over the list of
teachers and deciding upon those to
be retained
The board sprung many surprises
at this meeting. 1t has ben conclud-
ed for some time that a part of the
board had made up its mind to in
stall q certain number of male prin-
cipals in the local school But there
has beer some question as to whether
or not the proposition would meet
with the approval of the majority of
the members.
Last night when the matter came
up for discussion, members Fred Gu
thery and M. B. Dlckerson declared
themselves not in favor of It,

ment at first; let us employ one male
teacher and try him out as princi-
pal If he succeeds. there will be
plenty of time then to increase the
ma1e force" remarked Mr.. Dicker-
son.
Mr.. CUTLERY also declared that he
was in favor of employing male prin-
clpals as an experiment
"If we are going TO experiment,
then why not do ii right. We cannot
get proper idea of the matter un-
less we try it in several schools; but
| am confident that 1t is the thing"
remarked Mr.. Jacoby
Members Briggs, Pennell, Jacoby
and Hill were strongly in favor of
installing male principals. When the
men were voted upon, each were
elected by the majority vote of four
to two. Dickerson and CUTLERY vo-
ting no.
The men principals elected were T.
e. Bolander. former superintendent
of the schools at Moral; A. n. Car
mine, superintendent of the schools
at Adelaide wv. C. Selanders, former
superintendent of Agosta schools;
#. M. Weaver, former superintendent
of the Prospect schools.
The newly elected principals will
not be placed until the arrival Of
| the new superintendent This will
mean the displacement of four lady
principals who will likely be relegat-
| ed to the ranks of teachers.
