SUPT. J. H. COLLINS BC3
PROFESSOR I B. TOON
APPOINTED TO ALL OKR
At the term of the County
Court held last week Superinten
dent J. H. Collins handed in his
resignation as County School
Superintendent. The Court im
mediately appointed Prof. J. B.
Wilkerson of St. Helens to fill
the vacancy. Mr. Collins has
been a very successful officer and
during the past three and one
half years has given his undivid
ed attention to the business of
the office. His work has been
thoroughly appreciated by every
person interested in school mat
ters in the county, and he only
resigned to accept a position
where there was more money for
his labors. Prof. Wilkerson is
well known throughout the coun
ty, having been principal of the
Rainier Schools for four years
and during the last year was
principal of the St. Helens School.
In both of these positions Prof.
Wilkerson gave eminent satisfac
tion, and the boards in both
places were very sorry to lose his
services. However he gave up
these positions in order to be out
of doors more and for the benefit
of hi3 health. There is no man
in the county who is better qual
ified to fill this important posi
tion than Prof. Wilkerson, and
the people of the county are to
be congratulated upon finding so
valuable a man to take the office
80 ably filled by Mr. Collins.
