Both Mr. McCullough and Mr. Hampton wore high class men. that on account of higher salaries offered or for other rea sons that they preferred other cities to La Grande. The School Board must realize that there is keen competition for school talent, for men who can make .good. We hope .that the School Board will be able to get a high class man to succeed Mr. McCullough. The Observer would be well satisfied if Mr. A. C.
