Eptron TranscriptT—Allow me through ‘your columns to call the attention of the people to the action of the City Board of Education in the two most important positions in our schools, viz : that of Principal and teacher of the High School. The idea of electing a man for Principal who knows notning of our School Law and course of study, and who is unknown to any one, is to say the least a lack of judgment. Any one who knows about our school system must know that time ia required to learn it anda man coming from the may be, must necessarily make mistakes. Again, the great number of pupils in our High School requires a man and a good one to manage it properly, There is not one woman in a hundred that could manage it, and to take an unknown, lady and place her in a position of such responeibility shows a great lack of judgment. lf the lady had been tried here and known to be competent it would have been different, I voted for the ladies for Trustees because I thought a change was needed, but I now regret it. x.

Eptron TranscriptT—Allow me through ‘your columns to call the attention of the people to the action of the City Board of Education in the two most important positions in our schools, viz : that of Principal and teacher of the High School. The idea of electing a man for Principal who knows notning of our School Law and course of study, and who is unknown to any one, is to say the least a lack of judgment. Any one who knows about our school system must know that time ia required to learn it anda man coming from the may be, must necessarily make mistakes. Again, the great number of pupils in our High School requires a man and a good one to manage it properly, There is not one woman in a hundred that could manage it, and to take an unknown, lady and place her in a position of such responeibility shows a great lack of judgment. lf the lady had been tried here and known to be competent it would have been different, I voted for the ladies for Trustees because I thought a change was needed, but I now regret it. x.
