Gilmartin will be chosen, as assistant superintendent. But as the board has not come to an understanding on the matter any thing that might be said on the subject must not be taken as au- thoritive. As yet there has not been even conference on the question by the members, but it is believed that the matter will be disposed of at the meeting next Monday,
 It is nothing new to say that there is much activity going on now with reference to the vacant position in the superintendent of schools, the principal thing upper most in the minds of most people is the best interest of the schools. It is natural that people would have their favorites, but the mein- bers of the board on whom the duty of making the selection should not be influenced, by any thought other than securing the best man available for the posi- tion.
