CHARGED WITH EMBEzZLE.
MENT.-Mr. FL. A. Workman, who
has been the trusted and conf.
Dental agent at Alexandria for
the past two years, of the Waters
Pierce Oil Company, was arrested
just after the DEMOCRAT had gone
to press last Tuesday, on affidavit
of Mr.. Allen Lawrence, represent
ing the American Security Com
pany, of New York, charging him
with the embezzlcnent and con-
version to his own use and benefit
of S576.95, belonging to the
Waters, Pierce Company. His
bond was fixed by Judge Andrews
at $3.50 which he furnished the
next day, with Mr.. Tom Treadway
as his security. Mr.. Workman
has hitherto borne an irreproach-
able character ia the community
and has many friends, who are
deeply grieved to learn of the
trouble in which he has become
involved and trust that he is in
possession of the necessary evi.
depce to exeulpate himself FROM
the grave charge which has been
preferred against him.

study of the Classics.

The committee of twelve appointed by
the American Pathological Association to
give effect 10 the resolution Of the Assoc
citation against any scheme OF preparation
for students of the classical course in
colleges which requires less than three
years of instruction have just issued an
appeal to teachers of classics and TO all
friends of sound education in the United
States" The resolution OF the association
was aimed at the classical programme"
of "the committee Of ten," which advo-
Gated only two years preparatory study
of Greek. and which caused considerable
stir and discussion pro and con in edu-
cational circles.
The result OF carrying out this pro-
gramme. say the twelve. would be a
course of study inadequate TO admit the
student TO any iirst-rate college having
fixed requisites, and to any Of the fresh
men Greek courses leading 10 higher
courses In any college having elective
requisites Of admission. In short the
colleges would have to lower their stand
ard in Greek by a full year in order 10
get any patronage through schools that
have adopted the programme of the ten.
The committee of twelve set forth fur
Their that the evil consequences OF the
neglect of Greek involved in the pro-
eramme of the ten would not be confined
to the classical courses in colleges, since
a knowledge of Greek is indispensable to
proficiency In English or any other
modern language. They also contend that
theological schools would find it more
difficult than they do now to require OF
their students knowledge OF Greek
necessary for the study Of the New Tes-
lament. The appeal il well worthy OF
the careful consideration Of both college
authorities and masters Of classical
schools, not only because Of its treatment
of the study Of the classics as separate
proposition, but because Of its bearing
on fha general question Of thoroughness
IN higher education.

The Washington Star has 1t from
member OF the State Republican Com
mittee Of Virginia that Malone is going
to be fought hard when he comes up for
reelection as chairman OF the commit
tee.
1t Is said by this person that ex-Con-
gresham James ID. Brady, Benjamin
Hooper. Jacob Yost. and George f..
Bowden are men who have been treated
In such n way by General Malone that
they have forever thrown or his influ-
ence and will oppose him. This feeling
toward General Malone, he declares, has
been brought about because OF. not only
his dic;atorlal policy, but because he has
systematically opposed any effort to line
the party up In fight with the Demo-
Gratis for the last four years"
All this may or may not be true. For
our part. Malone is welcome TO boss his
party. but we don't want TO see any
Democrat following his lead.

The New Weather Professor.

The only positive fault that we have had
TO find with the late Chief OF the Weather
Bureau. MIR Harrington. was that he De
longed 10 that numerous but not ad-
m!rable class Of men whose chief ambition
II is 10 see their names In print, and VINO
ever labor to that end. Even since he
was dismissed from place he has been
posing IN print and venting various
criticisms upon those who were the cause
Of his displacement. We wish Harrington
well but honestly doubt whether he will
soon get another Job as good as that
which he he'd under Uncle Sam.
whether or not Professor Moore IL also
10 be a poser in print We do not Know
He is just out in sort OF inaugural
interview. outlining his plans for conduct
ing the bureau. but this can be forgiven
him Quite naturally, he wishes to make
a bow 10 the public and ingratiate himself
into their favor by telling what improve
ments he designs making in the service.
So we'll Jet that pass.
For several years Professor Moore has
been the local forecaster at Chicago, and
has distinguished himself in that posi-
ton. A man who can tell one hour what
sort Of weather Chicago is going to have
the next hour must be a genius, ana
IL Mir. Moore be that man 1t is easy
enough to see why ne was appointed to
the chieftaincy OF the Weather Bureau.
Even Mark Harrington ought to see that
such n man deserves promotion.
Professor Moore announces that he Is
a non-partisan 1--WE are afraid that this
means that he is a Republican,, and that
there will be no partisanry in the Weather
Bureau. and that all promotions VIII be
made upon the merit system. So we
are to understand that rain and snow,
promotions and dismissals, will fall upon
the just and unjust, the Democrat and
the Republican alike.
In his inaugural interview with Wash
ington newspaper men Professor Moore
states that:
I'VE cannot predict Just when rains will
occur always. but there is no excuse for
falling to forecast severe changes in the
weather and remarkable atmospheric dis
turbances Forecasting severe weather
changes | conceive to BE- the object of the
office. and in this direction the work Will
be broadened and steadily improved.
Forecasts should be made or severe
storms, cold waves. or remarkable at
mospheric changes at least twelve hours
in advance, and one such forecast some
times more than pays the actual entire
cost of the office up to date. Showers
and minor changes in temperature are
relatively unimportant. AT least ~ per
cent. ana. perhaps. % per cent, OF the
severe changes OF weather should be ac-
curately fOrecasted.
This is good doctrine, and We hope that
the Professor will live up TO IT, and we
also hope that in his indications or
predictions" he will come out more
"pointedly." and tel us the character Of
the weather that We are to expect. Some
Of the indications sent out are equally
good, or bad, whether 1t rlins or shines.
Another improvement that he should
make is to have station here at Rich
mond. We don't believe that he can get
the correct Virginia weather-certainly
not the political weather-without having
an observer here.
