PROF. J. o. BROWN DECLINES
SUPERINTENDENT.

The Progress last week failed to
state that Prof. Luther Boobitt had
been reelected to his former place in
the City School, as teacher of the 18th
and 9Th grades. and that Mrs. Lillian
Perrine Davis had been elected to
succeed Mrs. Helen Pafford Reid a. q
primary teacher.
We are'also able to state this week
that Prof. J. o. Brown. who has been
the head of the City School for twelve
years and Superintendent Of the Hem
derson County High School since it
was instituted. has until this time
respectfully declined TO continue in
the work. Prof. Brown has other and
considerable business interests and he
believes that it may be greatly to his
own advantage to get out Of the
school work for one year il no more.
He says that in the last year he has
on occasion been SO completely run

The Progress is duly grateful to
the liberal and enterprising Republi-

have placed their announcements in

Of five dollars to each candidate and
we appreciate the fact that they are
to be classed among those who are

down that his physician thought
temporary change Of occupation
might be best. Whatever the Hender-
son County High School and the Lex
ington Training School has grown to,
was accomplished under the efficient
superintendency of Prof. Brown and
it win be hard indeed for the Board
of Education to secure another man
to carry on his work along the lines
he has pursued. So far as this paper
is concerned, 1t viii be glad to see
Prof Brown reconsider his decision
and be allowed such freedom that he
win be well able to carry on the
splendid work in which he has been
the most active participant for the
past twelve years.

that on Monday night twenty-five
persons were reported killed. In one
instance negro dragged a white wo-
man from street car-and in very
short time that particular negro was
left for dead against the curbing of
the street. This race riot may be COM
ing as retribution to the whole state
of Illinois for its former rottenness--
for instance, allowing marriage be-
tween whites and negroes. Such a
statute or the failure to prevent by
law, has always been and always will
be disgrace to any commonwealth.
