Editor of the Times Dispatch:
Sir,-The editor of the Times-Dispatch
will greatly oblige a great many OF the
best citizens of the State by stating In
simple terms what he conceiNes to be the
plain and proper construction or the con-
stitutional provisions and legislative en-
actments as to the qualifications and APP
pontment of public school trustees IN
Virginia.
All patriotic citizens feel deep inter-
est in the development of the educational
interests of the old Commonwealth ana
are anxious that no mistakes be made
in the appointment OF those who are TO
control and manage these interests. They
realize that an opportunity Is now afford
ed for securing the best men to ill these
positions Of honor and trust. Is IT. not
piin that the legislators intended to re-
buke those trustees who had been guilty
Of nepotsm? Was 1t not the complaint
of this practice on the part of many trus-
tees which went up from the different
sections of the State that influenced the
legislators IN enaCtlng such measures?
Did not the Legislature, by enacting such
laws, intend to serve notice on the ap-
pointing powers Nthat they were to be
more judicious in their selection of mon
to control the public school interests OF
the State? DO not the laws imply that
there should be q new deal in making
tho appointments In order that those
trustees who had erred In that direction
could be gotten rid of entirely, and thai
new men in thorough sympathy with
| tho highest Ideals should be appointed II
| their stead?
If such be true, 1t is hardly conceivable
I how any self-respcctng man who, a
! trustee has been connected with the pub
lie school interests of the State could cor
sistently accept the position of publ
school trustee under the provisions of
constitution and legal enactments OF
Legislature which, by implication If NJ
by positive declaration indicted him &
being guilty of questionable action in Il
appointment of trustees.
ii Is hard to conceive how The appon
ing powers could consistently appoii
such trustee. and 1t Is inconceivab
how such trustee, If appointed, cou
consistently accept tho position

Professor Willis Moore Reduces
Three Employees Who Have
Been Absent Regularly.
EXPLANATION is TO THE POINT.
Government OfficehOlder Not
Able to Work More Than Ten
Months a Year He Considers
Unable to Fill Positions.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Aug. 21.-Professor WIFI;
l.. Moore. Chief OF the Weather Bureau
who Is temporarily in charge OF the Ag
riculsural Department. has dropped d
bombshell into the ranks of the clerks Of
Secretary Wilson'S department.
II the clerks OF the department. and Of
the Weather Bureau in particular. had
thought Professor Moore lacked the cour'
age OF his convictions. they doubtless are
convinced to the contrary.
When clerks in the Government service
persist in a~yailing themselves. year afteI
year. OF tho full thirty-day annual and
~thirty-day sick leave. 1t is to my mind
proof of the physical inability of such
clerks to hold responsible positions" de-
clared Professor Moore.
AS a demonstration of the depth OF his
conviction he Immediately ordered the re-
duction of three clerks Holding important
positions In the Weather Bureau. which is
part Of the department.
"When i ASSUMED temporary charge OF
this department several days ago, upon
The departure of Secretary wilson," ex-
planned Professor Moore. 1T was called
10 my attention that some of our best
cierks-or. rather. clerks holding the best
positions-were in the habit OF avaii.ns
themselves Of their full thirty days SICK
leave, in addition TO their annual leave.
An abundance of physicians certificates
were filed TO show that the clerks we're
actually sick for one month every year,
and the records show that the department
has had only ten months work annually
from each'of them. .
Il looked up the law and discovered
that both the thirty-day annual and the
thirty-day sick leaves are discretionary
with the head of the department. He may
grant both or deny both as he sees At. 1t
cid not take me long to determine that
the privilege was being abused. and l de-
cided upon the course of action / nave
taken. 1t Is clear to me that IL a clerk IS
actually I'll thirty days every year. and
needs an additional thirty days for rest
and recuperstion. besides Sundays and
other holidays. he cannot be classed as 4
healthy man. In fact, such a clerk Is
physically incapable of holding responsible
positions. and I favor the promotion OF
ptrong, able-bodied clerks TO tak their
places. In following out this idea 1 have
reduced three of the clerks holding i'm
portant positions in this department and
have filled their places with clerks who
are able to work eleven months out OF
twelve.
II intend to show no preferences. and as
other similar cases are brought to my at
tention l will take similar action. Further
more. I am confident the Secretary of Az

In every direction from this flagstaff.
