NO POLITICS IN IT.

When 1t was first announced that tho
Senate had refused to confirm the nomlna-
ton Of Mr.. d. S. Pollock to be superin-
tendent of public schools in Pulaski
county, we had tho impression, and others
had tho Impression, that Mr.. Pollock had
been rejected for political reasons. We
we're genuinely distressed to hear such
thing said. for It has been the desire
Of all friends Of public education In Vir-
GINA to SEQ tho public school system
conducted by tho rule Of merit and not
according to tho rule OF partisan politics.
This incident seemed to US distinct
blow to the public school system In Vir-
giniu, and gave us no little concern
But In tho light OF more recent events
we feel sure that it was not matter OF
politics, but misunderstanding which
caused the Senate to reject Mr.. Pollock's
nomination, and we are also quite sure
that Senator st. Clair, in urging the APP
pointment Of Mr.. Darst. was aotuated by
the very best motives, by the motive Of
true interest In the public schools OF Pu-
laski Senator St. Clair IS from Giles
county. and the schools OF Giles are ex-
ceptionally good. There are nine graded
schools In the county, each schools hav-
Ing from two to four teachers Senator
| ST. Clair has taken a worry keen interest
In these schools, having boys of his own
to educate. and has contributed literally
toward the support OF his home school.
The public schools OF Pulaski are not 80
good. and Senator St. Clair was in favor
OF the appointment Of q practical educa-
tor as superintendent. Mr. Darst Is a
teacher of long experience. and we are in.
formed THAI lie keeps up with the meth-
DDS of the times and Is thoroughly capa-

was for this reason that Senator st, CLAIR
