Prof. Ri bt. Kittrell Superintendent of Oxford School Elected County Snperintendent of Schools. The Board of Education for Gran ville county composed of Messrs. F. W. Hancock, Graham Royster and Dr. J. F. Sanderford held their last meeting Monday, and transacted all the business before It, and notified the New Board that they were ready to turn over to their successors. Drs. B. K. Hays, J. A. Morris and E. B. Meadows appeared aud were sworn In by Squire A. C. Parham. Chairman Hancock, of the retiring board, briefly addressed the new board on the work they had done In the county and wished them great success in their efforts to continue to build up the public schools. The retiring Board has worked hard for the educational Interests of the county, and their successors will be certain to take up the work and carry it forward and do a good work for the schools. The Incoming Board elected Dr. Hays Chairman who will make a good one. ' The Board proceeded at once to the election of a County Superintendent of Schools, and elected Prof. Robert G. Klttrell, the most excellent Super intendent of Oxford Graded School. He has accepted at a salary of $1200 a year which In theend Is no more than he received as Superintendent of the Graded School, and will soon enter upon the duties of his work. We are Informed that State Super intendent Joyner says that Granville schools in the country are behind those ot many counties In the State. This Is not because we have not had good Superintendents, but because they have not received sufficient sal aries to enable them to devote tnelr whole attention to the work of their office. So the increase in salary Is due to the desire of the New Board to meet this need. We deeply regret, however, that the Board saw fit to take away our very effictentSuperlntendent from theGra- ded School where has done such effi cient work aud where he was so much needed, aud after the Board of Trus tees had elected him to the position for another year. To say the least It was unfair to take him away from -his work in this way when we had other men in the county compe tent to fill the position. Prof. Klttrell gives up the Graded School work with reluctance, and only bscause he believes be can be of good service to the schools of the county, opening up as It doeB, a lar ger field than his former work. -The Graded School la fortunate, however, in securing the services of a worthy successor to Prof. Klttrell in the person of Prof. Bland, who has been elected Superintendent by the Board of Trustees. He has for a time been principal of the school and in that position has given entire satis faction, and will, no doubt, make a good Superintendent. Of the retiring Superintendent of Schools, Prof. B. F. Hester, we would say a word. He has given satisfac tion to the people of the county, and has done much to build up the schools. Prof. Hester is a gentleman of fine education and was well suited for the work. We regret to lose him from Oxford and wish for him the many good things in 1'fe which he so much deserves.
