 May Present Petition
 Miss Adele Murray. who is leading the campaign in Berlin for Miss Mary Griswold as superintendent of schools. this morning received a letter from Pardon c. Hickey of the school board, which stated that Mir. Hickey will meet at the convenience of the com mittee in considering the petition signed by 946 voters of the town, ad- vocating that Miss Griswold be chosen as the new head of the school system
 There Is a possibility that the com nittee will meet tonight to receive the petition. Miss Murray stated this that the document is bound to carry weight and even if the school succeeds in putting off the matter for a year, the members must consider it at the end of that time.
 She stated that Miss Griswold can not apply for the position. As a teacher in the Hartford schools it would not be playing fair to those em- ploying her if she sought the position In Berlin while still holding one in Hartford. If she gave up the position In Hartford, depending upon the un- certain prospect of being accepted as the Berlin school head, she would not be the kind of a woman wanted to the schools, Miss Murray said.
 Miss Griswold has been teaching in Hartford for about IT years and does not feel that she should apply for the position, realizing all that has been done for her by the educational au- .horities in that city.
