PRESIDENT OF
STATE BOARD WILL
NOT RESIGN
Is Unwilling to Embarrass
School Situation at
Critical Time

George B. Miller, President Of
the State Board of Education, will
remain with the Board until the
end of the fiscal year, July 1st.
Mr.. Miller some weeks ago in
commenting on proposed school
legislation said that, it would be
impossible for him to serve of the
so-called Citizens law yas passed.
While the present bill which pass
ed at the closing hours of the
session provides for an appointive
| instead of an elective board, and
separates the tax feature from the
administrative provisions, the
Fundamental principles are re-
ported to be about the same as
was in the so-called Citizens bill.
But Mr.. Miller does not think he
should in any wise embarrass the
school situation during the pres
ent school year, so he will remain
until July 1st.
A meeting of the State Board
he said, will probably be called
early next week.
On being asked for comments
% nthe present bill, Mr.. Miller sale
that he had not been able at this
time to read it, therefore coult
say nothing from first hant
knowledge.

$3.50. The pastors salary has also
been increased from $1,000 ito
S2400. Upon the pastors return
from conference it lis expected
that an additional increase will
| be granted and that an automobile
| will be furnished. A flattering of
fer was rendered Mr.. Herson this
year by a prominent Wilmington
church. He chose, however to
accept the unanimous call of the
Newark church.

first base. Right away Clarke got Te-

did, took bad bounce on stone and
