BOARD CONSIDERS
 NEW APPOINTMENT
Successor to Commissions CT Butterfield to Be
 Named; Salary $S,OOO

The state board of education Is nearing a choice in its search for successor to State Commissioner of Education Ernest w. Butterfield, but lit may be several weeks before the final decision is made.
 The board, which met Wednes- day of last week, discussed candi- dates at special and unannounced meeting in New Haven last Sunday but, as a board has not yet inter- viewed any nominees for the SIC, ,OO0 position.
 Chairman Albert I. Prince, Dr. Mark A. May of Yale and Dr. Kath- crime A. Blunt, president of Con- necticut college the teacher train- ing committee of the board, are act ing as a secipal committee on can didates, but the entire board is par ticipating.
 Out-Of- State Client
 The board 1t is understood, leans toward the selection of young man. Whether he will be from Con- necticut or some other state is still an unsettled question, with chances favoring an out-of- state choice.
 The Connecticut resident most frequently mentioned to date as timber" for the position has been Dr. Albert N. Jorgensen, president of the State college, but there IS a general understanding that pr Jorgensen is not available. His po- sition as college president is com-- parable to that of the commissioner. On the salary scale now paid 1t is better than the commissioners posi- ton by $200 a year. The president receives $10,200, of which $500 is a maintenance allowance in lieu Of cash.
 Possibilities
 The presidents of the four state teachers colleges, with Dr. Finis E.. Engleman of the New Haven Teach CTS college given special prominence. have also been discussed as possi- bilities. Among the superintendents of schools the names of Ferd D. Wish, Jr., of Hartford, E. Ward Ire land of Stratford and Carl w. Mad docks of Milford have been heard in informed quarters.
 The salary available for the com missioner of education depends oil the pleasure of the board of educa- tion and the finance officers of the state with the present scale set at 5000 to $10,200. Dr. Butterfield came to Connecticut at $6000,i in creased to $90OO after ono year and then to the present $10,0O0. The salary brackets have been eStab-
