The school committee of the town of Stonington having stripped the super- Intendent of schools from the super- vision of the high school, due to the Influence of the principal with the committee, has now actually voted not to engage the superintendent for the next school year. Naturally the su- perintendent asks for the reasons, and ncne are forthcoming. In consequence the superintendent comes out in pub- lic print and makes strong statements against the principal and géneral con- duct of the high scinool, which fe re- fers to as an “intellectual junk heap.” The superintendent makes many asser- tions and accusations and declares they can be substantiated by proof. Surface indications lead to the belief that the people, and nearly all the pu- pils and teachers, are with the super- intendent and against the committee action. There is farther belief that ihe committee plans to make the high school principal superintendent of schools, including the high school. Employed Minors. The adjourned cases against Charles H.

Scanlon en- ‘tered the arena as an opponent to the slate candidate, *and immediately there was a lively canvass on prior to the caucus.
