NEW SCHOOL SUPT.
FOR HAMMOND
Monmouth Papers Garry
News of Change in City
Public Schools Here.

The Monmouth. illinois, papers
have carried the announcement
that Supt. L. L. Caldwell of that
city has been elecred superintend-
ent Of the Hammond city schools.
This news came as surprise to
many Hammond citizens who had
no information that change in the
school SUPPLEMENTARY was in con-
temptation.
Asked concerning the situation,
Supt. Edwin S. Monroe, the present
incumbent, replied that if the cleo
tion had already taken place, no
statement from him is necessary.
He was not an applicant for re-
election His name was not pre-
sented to the school board for re-
appointment Mr.. Monroe came to
Hammond three years ago from
Muskogee, Oklahoma, where he had
been superintendent for ten years.
While he has no plans for the i'm
mediate future he hopes to con-
tinue in educational work to which
he has devoted the larger part of
his life. He expressed himself as
appreciative of the. uniformly kind
treatment accorded him and his
family at all times by the good
people of Hammond, and especially
for the cooperation and support
received by him from the teachers
of the city schools. Mr.. Monroe's s
work in Hammond has been partic-
ularly strenuous in the growing,
developing school conditions which
have confronted the city the past
three years.
superintendent Caldwell who has
been elected to succeed Mr.. Monroe
is said to b a first-class school man.
The position here will be quite a
promotion to him as he is coming
from a system of sixty four teach
ers to one of over two hundred. but
he is reported to be amply able by
experience and education to cope
with the school conditions in Ham
mond.

land and when he learned that the
creditors had closed in on the plant
he wrote that he would return and
pay all debts in full as soon as his
health would permia However,
no Improvement was shown and at
last he decided to let the outfit go.
The buildings cost $4,000 and the
special machinery represented $780,

tion and the fact that the machinery
could be used for nothing else It
was appraised at $4,000
