Wombwell’s “Direct Snub.”

Indignation is rife at Wombwell over the appointment by the West Riding Education Committee of a headmaster of the John Street Schools, Wombwell.

The Wombwell Education Sub-Committee recommended for the position Mr. A. Seed, chief assistant at John Street, but this gentleman was looked over the West Riding authority in favour of Mr. Grange Dalton, assistant under the Burnley (Lancs.) Education authority.

A special meeting the Wombwell Education Committee has been called to consider what Is described as “a direct snub.”
