Education Department Deliberates on Superintendent Salary and Term Extensions
The discussion centers on fixing the superintendent’s salary at $2,000 and the fate of state schools beyond 1995. Mr. Pomeroy comments on potential successors, praising Inspector Greer, ex-Senator and a careful official. There has been no admissions to schools since 1887, but延 efforts aim to extend schooling for orphans, with Governor and Grand Army support. Simson notes the McAlisterville children as rosy-cheeked wards while deferring to Inspector Greer’s forthcoming formal report.
