Mr. Hand was a candidate for re-elect loo. and strong luflurnoe was brought to bear to have him retained, .od the appointment of Mr. Barr came, it is said, as a great surpri Mr. Hand. It seems that the two whom tbe State Board's com ml ties In charge of ibis matter ware considering were Mr. Barr and Mr. James M. Mteveos. the supervising principal at Ocean City. Oscar O.
