WEIR GIVES SOME
CAUSES OF SHIFT
AMONG PRINCIPAL
Action Was in Interest Of
Efficiency Says Assistant
Superintendent,

The first statement of the reason
:or the action of the school board in
changing a number of principals was
given today by D. T. Weir, assistant
superintendent Of schools.
When the supervising system was
changed last year the superintendent
knew many of the principals would
not be in a position to supervise in
the same schools, said Weir. But the
old principals were given a cnance
during this year
1--WE found" Weir said. that the
suspicion was we'll founded. During
the year the principals in many cases
came to US and said it was impossible
to do efficient supervising over GER
tain teachers because of already es-
tablished closeness in relationship.
Other teachers came to us and
complained that their principals were
not capable Of supervising them.
Other minor reasons Influenced the
final decision.
"On May go" said Weir, "Superin-
tendent Graft and I spent seven hours
behind closed doors in an effort to
be Just to all"
according to Weir there are just
as many concentrations OF the action
as there are cOndemnations.
Only" he said. 'one hears Of the
condemnations because they are usual
~ made in mass meetings. Those in
favor of the action do not feel that it
IS necessary to call meetings to back
their opinions"

SeIf8hneSS and Hatred in
Religion Scored

I'VE have not grown Goddess" de-
clared Miss Margaret Slattery at the
State Sunday School Convention at
Cadle Tabernacle today.
There is selfshness and hate with

IS because we have gotten into a
period Of confusion. 1t is only the
coward who sits down and says
Hush"
Miss Slattery asserted that the
Hebrew has not found God. the
Catholic has not found Him and the
Protestant has not found Him, if they
hold prejudice toward each other.
