Delay May Be Due TO New
Principal Who Wishes
TO Study Work

The Board OF Education last night did
not make the appointments of the
teachers for the Wilmington High
School, az expected. The appointments
at the elementary schools were made
more than a month ago, and while it is
always customary to make the High
School appointments at the same time,
so far no mention has been made of
these appointments at the board meet
ings
Following the meeting last night "a
reporter OF THE EVENING JOURNAL
asked Dr. r. o. Cooper who is chair
man of the High School and teachers
committee, why the appointments had
not been mnde.
81 cannot tell YOU" he replied.
Can you tell me when they will be
made?" he was asked.
81 have no idea" was the reply.
10 is understood however, that the
delay is caused by the fact that the
new superintendent. Clifford j. Scott,
is working with Professor Berlin in an
effort TO arrange the course OF study
at the High School in such a manner
that the work of that institution can
be done without making any additions
to the teaching staff When the course
of study is arranged, which viii be in
about two or three weeks. the appoint
mcnts of the teachers will probably be
made. In the meantime the teachers at
the High School are waiting in sus-
pcnse.
