Board ol Director Unanimuu For His
Election Finally Coimenl y
County School Superintendent B.
W. Barnes has accepted the po
sition of Superintendent of the
Hillsboro schools, and' will take
charge at the beginning of the
917-18 school year. Mr. Barnes
first came to Hillsboro in 1900.
and took the position of princi
pal. He held the place for 13i
years, when he was elected coun
ty school superintendent which
office he has held since, that date.
le has so systematized the coun
ty school work that his archives
tndav are of much value. He
followed up the good work of H.
A. Hal in that position, and
today the school records are as
complete as possible. 1
There has been a growing ae-
mand for the placing of Mr.
Barnes at the head of the city
schools, and after months of
tamest solicitation he finally
agreed to accept. He is an able
educator and has the happy fac
ulty of harmony in all branches
of the school work. The board
has always had more or loss fric
tion with the school, it being
conceded that the superntend-
ency is a trying affair. Mr.
Barnes, however, has no trouble
with his efforts at discipline.
and he is a diplomat as wen as
an educator.
Mr. Rarnes is thoroughly iden
tified with Hillsboro. owning his
home here. He will get into the
harnpsa in pood spirit, and the
question of a good school year is
assured beyond doubt.
