WILEY FOR SUPERINTENDENT

Who will be selected to succeed
Professor Shank, as superintendent OF
Moscow city schools? That is ques-
ton that is frequently asked That
there will be no lack of applicants is
certain and that many of them will be
from men of ability is unquestioned.
Moscow needs good man, a strong
man and one who can make good .
The district had an opportunity last
year to secure man who had made
good" in the Moscow schools; a man
who had made an enviable record, and
who had the confidence of both the
markable degree. He was not selected
and went to The Dalles, Oregon, a
larger school, where he made such
good record that he has been reelected
Tor another year, but we understand

That man is Professor viii E. Wiley |
who probably did more than any
other man, except the beloved John
r. Rich, to make Moscow's high school
the best in Idaho. We understand
that he would consider the Moscow
superintendency. We believe him
With no desire to dictate
to the school board whom they shall
employ we cannot refrain from call
ing attention to Professor Wiley and
suggesting that he would make an
deal superintendent here, where he is

definite purpose of the government TO
refrain from determined objection to-
secret sessions. Not only was il in

that delicate subjects could not be

a course might meet with strong op-
position from abroad as to wreck the
