Acknowledgement Anderson

Sundays Norfolk Landmark
contains the following tribute to
Attorney General William A. All
derson: A dispatch from Rich
mond says that Attorney-General
Anderson, whose office makes him
a member of the State Board Of
Education, is being heartily prais-
ed for his strong stand in favor OF
full and searching investigation
of conditions in that department.
Major Anderson was one of those
who insisted from the first that
the school register charges, which
have resulted in proof of lOng-cou-
tinued graft, should be thoroughly
probed.
The Attorney-General has adj
ministered his offioe in a way to
make it the dread of evil doors.
No official of the State whose
transactions have been question
able need expect the Virginia
Department of Justice to put
brakes on the energy of prosecution
because the ofiiceholder is promi.
nent and influential, or because the
development of scandal might
affect "the political situation"
Major Anderson announces that
he is so busy attending to his
duties as Acknowledgement that
he Will have no time to canvass
the State in behalf of his renomi-
nation. He is a candidate for that
honor, but he will let his work
speak for itself. Were he to leave
his Office now and go on the stump
the business Of theState, he believes
would suffer, and therefore he will
remain at his desk, no matter what
other candidates do. This decision
impresses US as being mCst credit
able to the AttOrney-General. II
will have due weight with the
voters in his favor.

"a public official should be
clean as a hounds TOOTH" said
President Roosevelt early in his
administration. But the Presi-
dent has made sad departure
from that high standard for
public officials, of late. He has
attempted to vindicate Paul
Morton, Secretary Of the Navy,
without due process of law; he has
dismissed former Minister Bowen
but retained Assistant Secretary
of State LOOMS, after Mr. LOOMS
has been proven to have invested
in Venezuelan securities while
minister to that country, and now
he has exalted Loomis by making
him special ambassador to
France to receive the body of John
Paul Jones.

Five School Inspectors Named
by Board of Education
The Virginia State Board of
Education has divided the State
into five subdivisions, with an in.
spector in charge of each, at a
salary of 81, 500 per year.
This is new Office IA the pub
lie school system OF the State,
created at the meeting last week
in Richmond. There are FIVE OF
these circuits, each with its ex-
aminer and inspector, the five
gentlemen constituting the Estate
Board Of Examiners and Inspec-
tors" The board is created I'M
der authority of the new school
laws of the State, and is designed
to secure more efficient supervision
of the schools. The examiners
are appointed for terms of three
years, save al the first election.
Two of those chosen serve for one
year, two for two years and one
for three years. Thereafter all
serve full terms. The resolution
creating the board prescribes in
some detail their duties and
powers. They are to make annual
reports to the State Board Of Edu-
cation of school conditions in
their districts or circuits and each
shall present a special report on
any matter submitted to him
whenever the State Board of Edu-
cation may SO demand.
The following officials were elect
ed: First district, E. H. Russell,
Bristol; second district. Willis A.
Jenkins, Newport News; third
district, j. S. Thomas, Lynch
burg; fourth district, Harris Hart,
Roanoke; fifth district, c.. G.
Maphis, Charlottesville.
The third circuit is composed of
the counties of Patrick, Henry,
Franklin, Pittsylvania, Halifax,
Charlotte. Campbell, Bedford,
AppOmattox, Buckingham, Prince
Edward, Amherst, Nelson, Bote'
tourt. Allegheny, Rockbridge, Au'
gusta, Bath, Highland, Craig, and
the cities of Stanton, Buena
Vista, LyDchburg and Danville.
The five district inspectors will,
after this year, that Is, beginning
in 1906, hold all the examina'
tions, and sign all the certificates
of successful teachers, to be
countersigned by the local super
intendents. For the current cal
ander year, all examinations will
be made by the superintendent al
heretofore. The new plan will in
sure uniformity in grading
throughout the State.
What will greatly interest
teachers is that all first grade Ger
tifcates, and this rule begins al
once, will be good for five years
with the privilege of renewal fol
five more years: Second grade
certificates will be good for three
years with the privilege of renew
alfor three. Holders of thirC
grade certificates must stand al
examination every year and after
two years will be dropped unless
they make higher grade.
Another most important rule II
that school trustees must give pre-
ference to tie highest grade GER
tifcates and not employ lowe
grade teacher so long as there is
higher grade teacher to be had
This rule is to prevent come
counties from employing inferior
teachers because they can get then
cheaper.

MR.ANDERsON TO VIRGINIA
DEMOCRATS
Attorney General William A.
Anderson has addressed a letter to
the Democratic voters Of Virginia
in which he announces his candi-
dacy for reelection to the Office
of Attorney General, and sets
forth his claims for their support.
He takes occasion to give a detailed
statement of the action by the
State Board of Education, OF
which he is a member ex-oficio,
regarding the adoption of the
multiple school book list for the
public schools of Virginia.
With reference to his past re-
cord Major Anderson says that he
can have no claim to reelection
unless he has faithfully and eff
GENTLY discharged the duties OF
the Office during the time ne has
held it. AS to that he prefers to
refer to the records of his office, to
the great number of opinions
which he has been called upon to
render upon questions arising
under our new constitution and
under the statute laws of the State,
which are becoming more and
more complex, and to the records
of the State Corporation Commits
sion, of the Supreme Court OF
Appeals of Virginia, and of the
Supreme Court of the United
States, in which courts it has
been his duty to represent the
Commonwealth in a number OF
the most important cases in which
the interests and rights of her
people have been involved at any
time during her history. Each
case involving the general rights
and interests of her people has
been decided in her favor.
Explaining the reasons actust-
lug the State Board of Education
in adopting the multiple list, he
says that a plan looking to a
straight single list was suggested
and carefully considered, but it
was found that its adoption would
necessitate radical and undesirable
changes of books in every city
and county, which would impose a
cost upon the people OF from 500,
900 to $3.50, 900.
The Board, therefore, decided
to select the single list for each
county and city. The plan was
advocated by every experienced
educator on the Board and seven
out of the eight members voted
for this plan as the cheapest and
best under the circumstance. Fol
--4tlse future, Major Anderson urges
that the least desirable books be
omitted from the list and Others
most largely used in the State
substituted therefor.
"This would bring u.s." he con-
cludes, "to a straight single list
for the whole State as soon as, and
at least cost than, and other plan
that has been suggested, particu-
Iarly if the changes are made, al
they ought to De, only in new
classes beginning the study of
subject. In this way, in few
gears, uniform single list, com
prising the very best books, coult
be secured for the primary ant
graded schools Of our State, at
cost as low as that at which they
are furnished to any State, or any
where"
