Show ' KEELER GHGSEN 10 WEST HICK SCHOOL Named as Principal; Gilli-lan Gilli-lan Is Given Chair of Mathematics. The wrinkles were "sad ironed" out of the long-e.xisting West high school dilemma yesterday when the city board of education appointed F. t. Keeler to the principalship and continued L. M. Gillilan, former principal and head of the department of mathematics, in the chair of mathematics. The meeting of the board was held at the Commercial club at noon. Mr. Keeler leaves the principalship of the Hrvant. Junior hif!h school to take the principalship of the West high. He is to be succeeded at the Bryant by J. H. Coombs, for some years past principal nt the Lafayette school. No intimation intima-tion was (riven bv the board as to who will be appointed' to fill the vacancy in the principalship of the Lafayette. On the recommendatidn of the committee com-mittee on buildings and grounds and of i. D. Bowman, superintendent of school buildings, the board determined to advertise lor bids on the coal supply sup-ply for the schools for the next school year. Tt was deemed unwise to delay too long the letting of the contract, in view of the threatened further raise in prices and possible scarcity 6f coal supply next winter. The buildings and grounds committee commit-tee reported that a decision may not be expected from the supreme court before be-fore August on the question as to whether the county will be required under the law to levy a sufficient tax to raise the money asked in the modified modi-fied request of the board of education, which will require a levy in excess of the 3.5 mills, plus .68 of a mill for interest in-terest on bonds and sinking funds, which County Assessor A. H. Parsons insists is the legal limit. Because of this report the board determined not to make a definite plan for early undertaking un-dertaking of building improvements. |
