NOT READY TO CHOOSE
NEW HEAD OF SCHOOLS.
Board of Education May Not
Discuss Candidates at
Meeting Today.

The question as to who will be appoint
ed superintendent of public schools of
Washington TO succeed DR.. W NJ. David
son is still matter of speculation. Al
though a meeting of the board of educa-
ton has been called for this afternoon.
it was said at late hour that the mat
ter of appointment probably would not be
brought up. particularly in formal man.
uer
Except for the fact that Dr. Davidson.
who has rendered his resignation. is
rounding up his work as thoroughly and
as quickly as is eXpedient. and that
there is considerable discussion over the
probabilities as to the next school head.
no sign is visible to denote that change
is to be made.
The schools are today in better con-
ditlon than they have been in long
time according to a number of those
affairs. and the board of education has
all the reins well in hand. While

that will be agreeable to those in the
system. and which will work for the
best interests of the community.

erence to home talent ceteris paribus
and / believe that you have. in Mr.. Ely,
the making of a splendid superintendent
OF all the pedagogues of my acquaint-
ance, l should pick Mr.. Ely for superin-
tendent
There are many reasons why home
talent should have the preference. and
equally cogent reasons why foreign talent
should not be used to oyerSlough the pro-
duction of our own school system. Prof.
Ely has the education, he is a good or
