ELECTION NOT CALLED

Six junior high school principals were
appointed by the school board Tuesday
afternoon. They are Miss Mary Hup-
pertz, Mrs. Kate Schenck, +. s. FAX
ely, J. o. Loftin, ]. A. Cook and ]. III.
Howard.
In submitting his report DIR. Rhodes
said he had selected principals in con-
Torrance with a recent decision of the
board to name teachers who have bac-
calaureate degrees, and any principal Sc
lected for the junior high school work
| would be appointed only with the I'M
Outstanding that a degree be obtained
within three years.
81 would not recommend that any
principal without n baccaulaureate de-
gree be brought from other cities, but
would and do recomemnd the ap-
| pointment of San Antonio principals
| who do not hold degrees but have dem
onstrated ability and faithfulness
through years Of service" DR.. Rhodes
said.
Replying to this Mrs. C. Z. Hoff
stated that she did not agree with DIR.
Rhodes that San Antonio does not now
have six people holding degrees who are
qualified to be principals of the junior
| high schools. but if such were the case
sour schools would be in n condition
to warrant the bringing in of new ma
| terial."
"The school board has gone on rec
ord as favoring home labor in the con-
struction of the junior high schools.
Mr.. Beretta asserted. "We should be
consistent. Why demand that San An
tonic carpenters be employed to build
Junior high schools and then 90 outside
Of the city to obtain instructors?"
Protest From Beacon Hill.
Since the school board election was
not called at this meeting. the cleo
| ton will be called at called meeting
of the board. The election must be
called at least ten days before the date
of election. and the next regular meet
| ing Of the school board will be held with
in week of the election date, Febru-
airy Is.
Another battle was precipitated over
| the motion of Mr.. Beretta that the
Electric Park site be purchased without
regard to the disposition made of other
sites that are practically purchased fol-
| lowing the refusal of the school board
| TO buy the Electric Park site. Mr..
Beretta was supported by Mrs. East
| burn, but the motion was lost by
4 to . vote. Although DIR. Hargis did
rot vote he declared himself in favor
Of the Electric Park site.
The motion was introduced by Mr..
Beretta upon the heels of protest
made by the Rev. ]. Stuart Pearce.
representing the Beacon Hill Mothers
| Club, asking that the school board re-
consider the Electric Park site and that
the school for Beacon Hill be located
at that site rather than at the site
| in the Laurel Heights neighborhood.
Mr.. Pearce asserted that the school
would be located II miles from the
center Of the Beacon Hill population
that seven-tenths of the children must
walk farther than they would If the
school were located at the Electric Park
site: and that the Beacon Hill school
would furnish more pupils than any
other two schools in the city.
Build Negro Auditorium.
| BY unanimous vote of the school
hoard. that body went on record as
favoring the building of an auditorium
Mt Douglas high school and an addi-
ton to Grant school. This will be the
first time that provision has been made
for a negro auditorium, it was pointed
out at the meeting.
Unon the motion Of Herbert PEARS,
Ed Rivas was named MS school census
taker for this year. The matter vt
remuneration will be determined in the
future by mutual, agreement. The APP
pointment Of Mr.. Rivas wasN opposed
nv Mrs. c. E. Hoff and Mrs. Byron
| Eastburn.
In order that no precedent might hc
set no action was taken on the neti-
tion of the Briscoe School Mothers
Club that the school board assist that
organization in building n cafeteria at
the BriscOe school Mt a cost Of about
$500 to the school board. The petition
