A TALK FROM Mr.. Tiff
NO POLITICS IN HIS WORK.
One Reform He Plans Is OF the
Bookkeeping System.

While he has been elected to serve only two
months of an unexpired term. Henry n. Tiff.
the new president Of the Board Of Educauoh'
has determined that there are some things which
he can better in the methods Of transactins pusl-
ness by the board. There will be no startling
changes Mr. Tiff says-in fact any changes
which he makes must be in accordance with his
growing knowledge of the work Of the board
He will take up this work, however determined

children OF this city, for whom. he feels, he is
really working.
AS yet Mr. Tiff has hardly been able to out
line any method OF procedure. but from his ac-
Quaintance with the work of the board he thinks
that some things may be changed with profit
Among these is the bookkeeping system in some
of its branches. While there has been much
criticism of the educational department, it is
unlikely that Mr.. Tiff viii take any action re-
sardng II. He has disagreed, however. with
many things done there. Talking about his plans
yesterday, Mr. Tiff said:
