STATE OFFICIALS
 TO ATTEND MEETING

Montgomery, November 2o.-(Speeial.) .)- Four state officials will attend the meet ing of the board of trustees at the Ala bama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn. on Thursday. Those who will go from the capitol are Governor oNeal and Super intendent of Education Henry J Willing ham. who are ex-officio members of the board, and w.. r. Feasin. chief clerk in the department oS~ education, and Cap tain Reuben F. I<olb. who are regular members.
 Considerable interest Is attached to the board meeting because of the fact that the trustees will have an opportunity to see the students at work, Heretofore the board meetings have been held 1t times when the school was not in session. and at the last meeting of the board it was decided to meet in the fall of this year. in order that the various members of the board might have an opportunity to sec the institution in active operation.
 So far as is known. no business of any consequence will be transacted by the board The meeting will be in the nature of an adjourned session and the prob ability that the members will make an inspection of the school visit the va rious departments and see the students at work, and adjourn in the afternoon until the next regular meeting.
