School Supt. Not Yet Chosen
The directors of Coquille school
district No. 8 met at the high school
Monday evening and examined the
papers of about 25 applicants for the
position of superintendent of the Co­
quille schools. No decision was made
at that time and when they adjourned
it was until next Wednesday evening,
July 7, at which time they hope to
make a selection. This was less than
half the applications on file when the
last vacancy occurred in the school
head position here.
,
The board has received no definite
information as to the probability of
receiving PWA funds to assist in the
building of the new gymnasium, but
word from the architect, C. N. Free­
man. in Portland, is that the proa-
pect of the district receiving federal
aid is growing brighter each day.
If the suggestions of Chief Clerk
Olson, of the railway postal service
are put into effect, Coos county cities
will receive in the future a faster
mail service than ever before, but
whether his suggestions will be ap­
proved cannot be foretold. If they
are, the mail which now arrives here
via Roseburg will get in at 8 a. m.
instead of at 5 p. m., owning by a
star route from either Eugene or
Drain.
