In general the feeling here Is that Su

of service ss the .head of the school
has made a highly efficient officer.
During his time of office- the institution
hss grown and never haa there been a
charge of graft attached to Watson's
management.
Superintendent Watson could not be
seen at the school today to make a
statement of the attempt to remove him
from office, but it la understood -he-has
said that ha will contest the ectlon of
Governor Mead and the board of con
