MAY REOPEN FIGHT
UPON CHRISTENSEN
Old Effort to Gust Public
School Superintendent
Taking New Life.

Something of fright is scheduled
for tonight 3 meeting of the board of
education, in case the question of re-
appointing D. II. Christensen as super
inteudent of schools for another term
is allowed to come up.
Four weeks ago an attempt to put
through a motion signifying the board IS
intention of re-engaging the superin-
tendent was defeated, and the mat
ter was laid over until tonight.
Several members of the board are
known to be opposed to the re-
appointment of Mr.. Christensen and
are at work now trying to make an end
to his service. Others are ardent in
their support of Mr.. Christensen, and
from the present complexion of affairs
these arc in the majority.
One board member said yesterday that
any action taken tonight in the mat
ter would not be conclusive, as the
term of Mr.. Christensen does not ex-
pire until next June, and many things
may happen in the meantime. The
board has no authority to definitely re-
engage him until that time.
The fight against Mr.. Christensen is
not in the open as yet, though it is
probable it will come to the surface be-
fore the matter is settled. According
to one member Of the board, tho fight
will be carried on and is being car.
ried on mostly in committees, and there
will be no open attempt to remove the
present superintendent unless those de,
string to do 30 are more or less sure of
their ground md have fighting chance
