CHANGES
IN CITY SCHOOL
PR|NC|PALSH|PS
Board Due to Take Final Ac-
ton on Teachers
Lists.

Several changes in principalsaips
of public schools were forecast as
the outcome of a special school board
meeting at 4 p. m. today. The baord
was to take final action on tentative
teachers lists for the coming year,
submitted several weeks ago.
The instruction committee, meet
ing Thursday, announced it was pre-
pared to present all changes desired
to the board this afternoon.
Superintendent f. U. Graft said
there probably will be many changes
in principals appointments after the
meeting, because many of them de-
sire to be changed.
May Be Discharged
1t is understood that Miss Mary
MCGEE, a Catholic, School 81 princi-
pal, will be discharged or relocated
and also that Miss Mary Common. a
Catholic, School 46 principal, will be
either discharged or appointed TO an
other school.
Miss Addie Wright. School l prin.
cipal. has submitted her resignation
which will be accepted at the session.
The resignation was not voluntary,
it was said.
Not To BE on Carpet"
Possibility of Assistant Superin-
tendent D. T. Weir being brought
before the board and placed on the
green carpet" did not seem strong.
Word was out that the majority fac
ton wanted him ousted. but since
Graft tentatively has reappointed
him. it will be necessary for the
board to obtain four out of five pos
sible votes to veto CRAFTS recommen-
dations.
Whatever action the majority at.
tempts on the appointments will he
resisted by the minority.
