Prof. J. E. Mathis. superintaDdaa@
of the city schools, was reelected IN
that important position last night as.
a meeting of the school board. TMa
election was unanimous and shows ShH
esteem the board has for this prnmas-
nent educator.
Heretofore it has been customary sap
select the superintendent later in slss@
year. But it was deemed wise at tsass
time to name the superintendent eas
the city schools now so that he c0aka
cooperate with the board in seIeetasr
the teachers for the coming year. +.
The city schools have had q prosaA-
ious term this year. Much of aass
credit for the efficiency of the schass
system is due Prof Mathis, who HS-
his untiring efforts and natural anIFs-
ity, has raised the standard here to a,

GRAND OPERA STARS
GUEsTs-A4 BARBECUE
Especial to Times Recorder.)


ATLANTA, Ga, April 14.-An old
fashioned barbecue with pit-cooked
meat will be one of the entertainment
stunts for the stars of the Metropoli-
tan Opera company this year. 1t will
be held at the Druid Hills Golf club.
1t is hard to imagine Geraldine Farar
eating Brunswick stew or dainty Lu-
crezia Bori partaking of barbecued
pig out of a wooden platter, but the
uniqueness of the entertainment and
the fact that none Of them have ever
tasted barbecue before will probably
make it one of the biggest successes of
the week. The first year the opera
stars ever came south, Miss Farrar
said she enjoyed a simple meal of fried
chicken and milk and hot biscuit mole
than all the elaborate champagne sup
