State Board OF Education Will
Hold Special Meeting In
Baltimore Tonight
TWO NAMES MENTIONED

Members OF the State Board of Ed
ucation have been called into special
session to be held in Baltimore to-
night, and it is expected the meeting
will be the most important one held
by the Board in a long time. The
chief question to be considered will
be the naming of a successor to DR.
NJ. Bates Stephens. as State Superin-
tendent OF Schools.
IL is understood TO be the feeling
OF the board that the best interests
Of the schools will be served by a
new man as superintendent. and it is
believed that Albert s. Cook, superin-
tendent OF the Baltimore county
school system, will be chosen for the
place. George ii. Reavis. at present
assistant superintendent of education,
also has been mentioned for the place
and has been considered by the board,
1t is understood. but Mr. Cook is re-
ported to be the choice of most OF
the members.
None of the members of the State
AOoih NbhAo hAHNuo9 hht thnNttA VI
admit that Mr.. Cook was the choice
of a majority, at least. for the place,
although DR. Henry NJ Fitzhugh,
president of the board. admitted that
among the matters to be considered
at the meeting tonight would be the
superintendency. DR.. Fitzhugh is
sued the call for the meeting. which.
he said. was 10 take up the "un-
finished business" left over from the
last meeting.
DR. stephens friends have been
making a hard fight to have him re-
tanned in his own behalf. but it has
been understood generally that the
members of the board as at present
constituted have felt that a chance
would be advisable. Governor Richie
is said TO have expressed himself as
convinced OF the wisdom of making
a change.
Dr. stephens has been Superinten
dent of Education in the State for
more than 90 years, and his friends
at the last meeting of the board Wig
orously and in force urged his re-
election.
