NNE of the most interesting fields Of

But In the opinion of one of the clev-

registered girl druggist in Philadelphia
who has entire charge of both the pro-
fessional and commercial end of a drug

Members of Education Board
Apparently Not Excited
Over Choice of DIR.

DIR. CARRIER IN CHARGE
Edwin Wolf, of Finance Committee,
Says There Is No Reason for
Haste.

may be postponed until January
While members Of the Board of Educa-
tion are being besieged with letters in
dorsing different candidates and discus
sion Is in progress as to whether the new
superintendent should be a man or n
woman, the school board itself appears
Indifferent to the situation. Edwin Wolf.
a prominent member and chairman OF the
Finance Committee. declared today that
he saw no reason why the choice should
be made In September.
Il can only speak for myself" said
Mr.. Wolf, "and l cannot say what the
attitude OF other members may be, but
am OF the belief that haste should be
avoided. Doctor CARRIER Is now in charpa
and he Is capable OF administering the
affairs of the school system until he 90
elected permanently or another man 40
chosen for the office. -
AS senior associate superintendent he
Is the proper person TO act as superin-
tendent. Doctor CARRIER has been identj-
fled with the Board of Edueation for
many years. He understands the rou-
tine duties and he Is able to carry out
Doctor Jacobs policies successfully. II
- for that reason that / am opposed to
eleetlns superintendent when the school
year begins In September
II am not In favor OF electlnR a resI-
dent OF another city. For the sake OF effi-
cheney and as matter OF common sense
We should choose some one EMPLOYED now
In Philadelphia and In the line OF promo
tion."
Mr. Wolf's opposition to outsiders ia
well known. He recently introduced a
resolution before the board, which failed
OF passage, requiring every teacher ana
clerk In the schools TO live within the
city limits.
Other members Of the board declared
that 1t was likely that no action wo,,Id
be taken on the supeTintendeney before
January, bait asserted that eonditions
were so uncertain that they could make
no definite predictions.

Another significant point about this

Grated were simple in the extreme. The
bride had no ostentation, no vulgar dis
play Of wealth TO mark her Wedding
society. Her romance and courtship
were equally commonplace from spec
tacular point OF view. IL was one Of
those pretty love matches which are all
too few ana far between these days-they
were boy and girl sweethearts. they
rowed and swan and tennised and
romped together. Miss Barkers enor-
nous wealth was no barrier, In spite OF
what cyncs may say 10 the contrary.
F9r there are certain natures that are
large and noble enough TO overlook even
the mighty dollar, unnatural as II may
seem. And in the four years OF his
course at Yale the young man looked
forward to marrying tho ono girl in the
world for him, another thing which
cynics would claim to be impossible.
II just takes something to jog our trust
