ELEOT COUNIY SUPERINTENDENT?
Prof, D OO, Etters Elected for Third
Term without Opposition—Salary In.
cronsed to $2000.
For the third time Prof. D. O. Et
ters was elected superintendent of the
public schools of Centre county, the
Iatter two times without opposition.
The election was a matter of form, but
the increase of the salary from $1692
the present salary, being the mini.
mum under the school laws, to $2000
required three votes for its accomplish-
ment,
At 10:40 a. m., on Tuesday, the di-
rectors were called to order in the
court house by superintendent Etters,
who in the briefest form stated the
object of the sssembliog of the body,
oun the first Tueeday in May every
third year. Capt. C. T. Fryberger, of
Philipsburg, was named chairman,
Charles F, Cook, of Bellefonte, secre:
tary, and P. J. MeDonald, Unionviile,
and J. C. Btover, Millheim, tellers
The chair thanked the directors for
the unsolicited position, and stated
he would endeavor to be fair with all
and serve to the best of his ability.
Prof. M. B McDowell, of Btate
College, placed in nominpation Prof.
Etters for re-election. He dwelt
bricfly on his ability and general fit-
ness for the position, and of hs past
record in the office. The roll esall re-
vealed that all of the 123 directors prese-
ent, except one, favored his re-election,
This stray director performed us
though be had just previously
and repeatedly been sdwitted to the
“‘ bar,” and it is safe to say that bis
actions in convention were not the re
sult of solicitation on the part of Mr.
Meyer, superintendent of the Philips
vurg schools, forswhom he voted.
The question of salary was then
brought vefore the convention, Col
D. F. Fortney moved that the sslary
be $2400. The proposition received
fifteen or twenty voles, Ex-Seoator
Heinle then proposed, as a compro
mise, $2150 as the salary, clsimiog
that $2150 was the average salary paid
superintendents in the state. This
sum is $15) over the salary proposed
in the school code before the legisin-
ture, but the ex-senator thought it
would ven good thing to ve a little io
advanceof the times in the matter of
salary.
Phe vote to make the salary $2150
proved to be a tle—sixty-one for snd
as many against the proposition. The
chairman cast bis vote in the nega
tive, and the motion was lost,
The third and successful move to
incresse the salary was then made,
the sum being $2000. This measure
carried by a very fair msjority, the
pumber voting for aud agsiost not
being counted.
Chairman Fryberger then calied for
the superiotendent-elect and asked that
ne address the directors Superin-
tendent Etters expressed himself as
bighiy pleased over Lelog elected for
the third time and without opposi-
tion. He called the attention of the
| directors to the necessity of forwarding
reports on time, and gave two in.
