EltEGTED.
Will Continue as Superintendent of the
Local Public Schools.
H. P. WHITAKER HIS OPPONENT 1
The Flection Was Made on the First Ballot
by a Vote of 13 to 2--Tho t alary
Remains the Same Elections
at Other Places.
In accordance with the school laws of this
state, boroughs and. townships throughout
the county yeitenlay elected superintendents
of tho public schools for a term of three
years. Fivo towns In the county elected
their own superintendents, viz.: Shenandoah,
Pottsvillo, Mahauoy City, Tatuaqua and
Ashland, Tho directors in thoto towns,
therefore, had no volco in the solectlon of
county superintendent yesterday. But ono
township in the county elects its own super
intendent, and that lis Mahanoy township.
Tho results of these elections aro glren below
in detail.
In overy district In the county, as in the
case of tho county superlntcndcucy, tho
present Incumbents wero re-elected. In only
one In stun co was the salary reduced, and
that wus at Pottsvillo.
Tho re-election of Prof. Cooper Is not only
pleasant news to that; gentleman's personal
friends, but to all friends of tho public school
Bystcm In this town. That his administra
tion of tho ottlco has given general satisfac
tion, and that he has earued re-election is
attested by the fact that but two votes were
recorded against him at last night's meeting
of the Directors.
Under bli administration tho schools have
maintained their high standard. Familiar
with overy branch of tho educational work,
a painstaking and conscientious worker, wo
can confidently rest assured that for tho next
thrco years Shenandoah's public schools will
coutinuo in the frout ranks of tho county.
The School Directors are to bo congratulated
upon their choice, as an indication that they
hold tho education of the youth paramount
to any political or personal consideration
COOPER RE-ELECTED.
The Itesult of the Klectlon of Borough
Superintendent Lust Night.
A subject which has been discussed for
months past, and caused much speculation on
the part of those taking interest in Dubllc
school affairs of tho borough, was definitely
disposed of last night by the School Board
electing a superintondoi't of tho schools for
a term of three years.
It was generally kuowu that 6oroo of tho
parties taking an Interest in tho last two
borough elections wero spurred on moro by
thoir personal preference as to who should
secure the superlntendency referred to than
almost anything else, and, therefore, it was
qulto natural that the interest in the election
should be great.
For over a year past but two candidates
were looked upon as likely to present their
names to the Board. They wore Prof. J. W.
Cooper, who held the position, and M. P.
Wliltaker, ono of tlio teachers. Recently
there was a rumor that Mr L. A. Freeman, a
former superintendent, would enter the field.
but it died almost in its incinloncy. Acpord
Ingly there were but two candidates before
tho School Board last night. There was
practically no contest, Mr. Cooper being
elected on tho first ballot, with many votes
to spare.
Tho School Directors In attendance at tho
meeting wero Messrs. Coughlin, Ilanna,
Baugh, Martin, Mallck, Keiper. Dove, Hg
liins. Sullivan, Devitt, Uritt, Connors,
Whitakcr, Brosliu and Holvoy. a full reuro.
sentation.
President Coughlin called tho meeting to
order and stated that the objeot was tho
election of superintendent of schools for tho
ensuing three years, and also to fix tho
salary. Secretary Ilanna then read the two
applications, which were brief In form, and
the Board proceeded to elect.
Tho result of the ballot was 13 for Cooper
and 2 for Whitakcr, and the former wss
doclared elected for. tho . term. Directors M.
J. Whitakor and Breslin voted for tho
defeated applicant.
Immediately after the announcement of
the mult Director Martin moved that the
salary of the superintendent remain the
same as it was the post three years. Director
Baugb seconded the motion.
Director Whitakor took the floor and
opposed the motion. lie said that during the
present term the Board had seen fit, in Its
retrenchment, to roduco salaried of teachers
to a rate of about 18 s-H per cent., and also
saw fit to curtail tho school term by one
montn, inereDy lessening me salaries about
f550. In view of the financial condition of
the school district, nnd slppo the teachers
have home their portion of the burden by
being reduced one month, and the janitors
and Janitresfces have been reduced ono month
each In the present term, he thought It
would be only fair to give his suggestion tbe
bebt consideration, because the limit to
the tax levy has been reached
14 mills and there Is no likelihood
of tbe valuation of the borough being In
creased. Mr. Wh(aier alsq spoke of tho In
tention to out down tho state appropriations
and said that, should this be done, it will be
necessary to curtail tho school term to a pos
sible minimum of seven months. He con
cluded his remarks by saying ho was in favor
of reducing the superintendent's salary In
the samo proportion as tbo tcaohors have
been reduced, taking off about the same per
centage, which would leave tbe salary at
about f 1,500.
Director Dove replied, saylug that he was
on the committee that recommended the
reductions referred to by Director Wttitaker
and, while he believed the Board did what
was right, and still believed so, he was not In
favor of reducing the superintendent's
salary for that reason. As far as the reduc
tion of tbe state appropriation was concerned.
he said the Board did not expect to looso
more than (3,000 by it and, If that reduction
Is not made, every member of the Board
knew, the Board will be In a position to
increase the salaries of the teachers to tho
former figures, or Increase tho school term,
Ho did not favor starting to reduce salaries
again.
Director Whltaker responded briefly that
he heartily agreed with what his colleague
had expressed, but could not agree with his
figures. If the resources calculated upon
were available he would fully agree with
him, but they are not available, and prob
ably will uot bo available within the next
two years. Ho said he had always advocated
high naUrics, and always enjoyed ono Mm.
sen, nut since tuo circumstances were such,
and tho teaobcrs had borne their portion, and
me secretary had borno his portion, be
thought It would bo only fair to bo consistent
throughout and have tho superintendent's
salary reduced, especially since bis burden has
been reduced by ono month.
A vote was finally taken on tho motion br
roll call and the motion was carried by a vote
of 14 to 1, Mr. Whltaker being tho only
uirccior wuo voted in tbe negatlvo. Tho
Board tliou adjourned.
BUPT. rATTKRSOX RE-EI.BCTBD.
There was only ono candldato for Sunerln
tendent before tbo School Board of PotUvllle.
and the rumored opposition to Supt. Patter
son did not materialize. He was re-elected
for a term of thrco years without opposition
Thoro was qulto a contest over tbe question
of salary. In view of tho financial depres
sion In school aUalrs, a majority favored a
reduction, and a motion was adopted reduc
ing tbe salary from f 8,000 to $1,800 a year.
l'BOF. EIIKIIAUT CHOSEN.
Tho ro-clcctiou of Prof. W. X. Ehrhart as
superintendent of Mahauoy City's schools is
as pleasing to his friends hero as it is to tbu
people of tho former town. Ho had no op
position. Tbe salary was fixed same as at
prcsont $1,030 a year. Tbo Directors will bo
tendered a banquet next Thursday evening
in honor of tbo event.
