REVERSES HER DECISION

When the county high school conf
mittee met some time ago for the pur-
pose of holding an election to fill two
vacancies, notice of such meeting and
election having been previously sent
out by Mrs. Westerman, county super
intendent and secretary of the board,
they We're Informed by Mrs. Westerman
that there was only one vacancy 20
fill as she had already filed one of the
vacancies by the appointment of Mrs.
Ella Ganley of New Castle. This ap-
pointment was made but a few days
before the meeting of the committee
for the purpose of holding an election.
The board ignored Mrs. Westerman .
appointment, holding that under no cir
cumstances could the appointment of
the county superintendent hold beyond
the next regular annual election after
the appointment had been made. With
The Glenwood post., 1912-06-15

that view of the matter Mrs. Ganley
would have but three or four days in
which to serve in her new capacity.
The board, after electing two officers
fill the vacancies, adjourned for y
week and at the next meeting Mrs.
Westerman produced letter from the
office of the state superintendent, ap-
parently sustaining the county super
intendent in her action. The board,
however, refused to recognize Mrs.
Ganley in any way whatever and the
old board, with the addition of the
newly elected members, Boand and
business.
State Superintendent, Mrs. Helen NJ.
Wilson, who visited Glenwood this
week, stated that she was under the
impression that the appointment had
been made AFTER the annual cleo
ton had been held and that was the
basis upon which her Office held that
the appointment of Mrs. Ganley would
hold until the annual election of 1913.
Mrs. Wilson has no desire to inter
fere with the action of the local board
and very much regrets that decision
was made from her office under mis-
apprehension of the facts, but stated
that as soon as she returns to her
office she will issue statement that
~.
The law is very plain on this matter
and it is rather difficult to understand
how one could get the impression that
an appointment would hold beyond the
regular annual meeting of the board
for the election of officers.
