Those Who Await the Result of Shift

Returns.
Publishers Pressl

Washington, Nov g. Diplomats
who are watching with great interest
the prospective changes in the Ameri-
can diplomatic service must wait until
after the presidents return from Pan
anna and Porto Rico TO have their
curiosity gratified. as Secretary Root
has announced that the state depart
ment will not take any action during
AR. Roosevelt's absence.
Since the announcement OF the pur-
pose to appoint to cabinet position
Mr.. Meyer, and the selection of Lloyd
Griscom, now at Rio Janeiro to fill Mr..
Meyers place at st. Petersburg,
there have been many predictions as
to Mr.. Griscom's successor in Rio
Janeiro. Charles Page Bryan, the
minister to Portugal, who formerly
served as minister to Rio Janeiro, is
frequently mentioned as the most like
ly candidate for the Brazilian post.
1t is generally conceded that Minis
ter Barrett, now in this country, will
not return to Bogota, and Leslie l.
Combs, the American minister to
Guatemala and Honduras, is mention
ed for the Colombian post. At the
last session of congress provision
was made for secretary to the Amer
lean mission in Santo Domingo. No
appointment to this place has been
made as yet, and there is also a va
cancy in the secretaryship to the
American mission at La Paz. Bolivia.
Many changes in the secretarysnips
at European missions are also contem-
plated in accordance with Secretary
Roots plan to keep the secretaries
moving. and thus give them an oppor-
tunity to study many countries and
prevent them from getting into a rut

Richmond yesterday afternoon held In the
Central School their regular grade meet
Ing. before which Was discussed the move
ment at present on foot to close the
schools at 2 o'clock instead of at the
present hour, O'clock.
No definite conclusions were arrived at
yesterday afternoon, though 1t seems to
be the concensus that the change should
and could be made. Before the regular
grade meetings special meeting was
held. and a number of questions were
read to the teachers by Professor r. L..
Banton, chairman of the special COM
nlittee.
Inc teachers are to consider these. which
refer to the most advisable method of ef-,
footing the change, and formulate writ
ten answer, to be arrived at by every
grade. All the:reports will then be hand
ed to Professor Blanton, who. will make
complete report from all the, schools
and refer the matter to the school board,
who will then decide as to what shall
be done In the matter.
All the teachers seem to agree that
1t Will be easy to make the proposed
change in the primary grades, but that
It Will be little more difficult with the
grammar grades. To effect the change
1t Is proposed that u shorter schedule of
the various classes be inaugurated and
that the recess be shortened. In addi-
ton 1t was suggested by Mr.. Blantcn
that the teachers come to the school
prepared to carry ont their work without
unnecessary detail or roundabout way to
get at the object to be attained The
schools cannot have longer sessions under
the present system. unless the Council
