The selection of director for this great
work Is therefore the first step toward maxi

this important Office is Mr.. Clarence King.
one OF the most distinguished Of our scien-
tifc men, and gentleman eminently quali-
fed by his attainments and experience for
the direction Of our national surveys. The
selection OF MIR. King would give unquali-
fed satisfaction to all who appreciate the
nature OF the duties to be performed by the
director of the national surveys and who
recognize the necessity of lifting the Office
above the level of political Influences.
Special scientific fitness should be the only
test applied to candidates. and as MIR. King
possesses this in pre-eminent degree he
should be appointed director without hesi-
tation or delay.
