Merit in the Schools.

BY the appointments made We'd
nesday, the Board of Education has
settled the old controversies over
the local high schools as far as
the pupils are concerned. Whatever
attempts at reprisal may be made
by the principals deposed, the chill
dren of the schools are assured
competent administrative control
and orderly management Of their
classes. This Is a result of the
greatest Importance TO the Capital.
and, long overdue as it is, it will
be noted by the parents Of the COM
l1unity with decided relief.
The new principals, with one ex-
ception, are the men who passed
highest in the examinations given
by order of the board last Tuesday.
The exception is that Of the head
of the Armstrong Manual Training
and Commercial High School (coI-
ored), who was reappointed. and
therefore needed no more to take
an examination than Principal VIII
son at the Central, Principal Davis
at the Business, or Principal Wes-
colt at the Western.
Examinations as a means Of Sc
lecting executives are a doubtful ex-
Pedient. Fortunately the law does
not compel the award of appoint
ments by competition, so that a
candidate whose personality units
him to supervise and direct a large
school cannot claim a vested right
in the Office of principal because
his marks were highest in a written
test. But in this case the com
munity has the satisfaction of know
ing that those who passed the ex-
aminations with most credit were
recommended also by the qualities
Of personal leadership and the abil-
ity to inspire girls and boys which
have been so sadly lacking at GER
tain of our schools these past five
years.
All the men introduced into the
Washington system from other cities
are scholars and pedagogues of
proven ability. Their coming may
be taken as a promise that new life,
ideas, methods, and spirit win be
infused into a corps which has late
" been so hampered and disturbed
as to make educational progress a
practical impossibility and preclude
everything save the most barren
routine. Far from discouraging the
teachers who were unsuccessful in
the competition, such a recognition
of scholarship and pedagogical abiI-
ity should have the effect Of nerv-
ing them to further self-deveIop-
ment. The best thing which could
have happened to the public school
system of the District of Columbia
from the standpoint of ambitious
teachers is the supersession of IA
voritism by the honest and inex-
orable merit system which is eD-
emplifed in these high school ap-
pointments.
