the Portland schools. Payson Smith

years ago his salary was increased
from $2500 to $4,000 to keep him in
the State, he having received very
favorable offers for other educational
positions in the West. He is a grad

of Skowhegan, have learned with in

his becoming State Superintendent of
Schools to succeed Payson Smith. the

The Portland Express has this to
say regarding the matter:
Whether or not there is any truth
in it, the fact that there is a wide
spread rumor among school teachers
and educators that State Superin-

not stand as high in the estimation of
