jg siectln&r of the School Board.
This CMonday) morning was the
time tor the meeting of the Graded
School Board, but they did not
meet,' as they found there was noth
ing to be done. The person that
tbey had in view to fill the posi
tion vacated by Prof. M A Boger,
was written lo and offered the posi
tion, stating the price, but he re
plied that he could not come for
fifty dollars per month, which is the
amount paid for that position.
They now have no one especially
in view, but will send Prof. E B
Lewis to Greensboro tonight, where
he will attend a meeting of the
Superintendents Association, and
probably find a: sqifable person to
secommend to the beard.
