DAWOS0N'S LEAVING
BLAMED ON CONGRESS

Because the Congress of the United
States is too short-sighted to see what
his services in Washington mean to the
country at large. DR.. W. NJ Davidson

schools, although his heart is with the
children of this city said E. c. Snyder
retiring president Of the Nebraska State
Association, in his address last night at
the reception given the retiring superin-
tendent of schools by Mr.. and Mrs. John
NJ. Thurston at the Woodward. Mr.
Snyder criticised Congress for letting it
be possible that Pittsburgh could take
DR.. Davidson away from Washington,
and called the legislators from his own
state to account for their part in allow
ing such condition to exist.
Many Nebraskans Present.
Many Nebraskans and their guests
were gathered in the assembly room OF
the Woodward apartment to do honor to
DR.. and Mrs. Davidson on the eve Of

Feels Deeply Grateful.

III discussing his appointment to the
superintendency of the public schools of
the District of Columbia, Mr.. Thurston
said today:
I am deeply grateful for the confidence
which the members of the board of edu-
cation have shown me by electing me
superintendent of schools for the unsx-
pired term of Dr. Davidson, made vacant
by his resignation. l know how very
deeply the members of the board have
held at heart, during all these weeks,
the good of the hosts of children for
whose progress and welbeing they are
responsible, and ] am deeply touched by
their willingness to place the educational
leadership in my hands. No man can ask
a happier opportunity than that offered
me to serve under a group of men and
women who have the interests of the
children of Washington so devotedly at
heart.
IT love the schools of Washington as
only one can who has been in them for
years; who has, as student, felt the
impulse and inspiration of their good
teachers, and who has for twenty years
served with the teachers i'm one field and
capacity after another, and has learned
to know them for the logical. capable
and successful people which they really
are. Nothing pleases me more than the
feeling that have such splendid group

Discusses the Future.


"Of course, I have as yet had no time
to formulate policies, nor is it, in my
opinion, advisable that / do so at this
time. My first duty is to get my bear
ings. l have had the great advantage
of working in close relation with DR..
Davidson during the years of his service
here and gaining all of the experience
and insight into the work that comes
from such association. / shall have to
look at the field from different side
now. l have been through it in the adj
ministrative side under the direction of
Superintendent Davidson and now / must
look at it from the broader view as a
leader. 1t will be my privilege to carry
on much of the work that he has plan
ned and started.
1.-THE first thing that one must do is to
carry out the lines laid down by DR..
Davidson. The new business system re-
Gently introduced, which becomes effec-
tive January |. will demand considerable
attention until 1t is finally adjusted. The
work of revision of the course of study
now under way will continue as mat
ter of course, and every effort will be
made to bring the schools Of Washington
up to the highest standard, which has
ever been the dream of all connected with
the system.
Work With Children.
IF j have any one belief as to the
duties Of the superintendency 1t is that
the superintendent must always be in
close touch with the pupils. / wish
that / might lose myself in the schools
for two or three hours a day, day
after day, in order to be in close touch
with the great work of the system
that really goes on in the classroom
all of the time. ] shall give all of my
spare moments to visiting the schools.
If / can bring the children to a point
where 1 have their confidence, and
where they know that l am working
for their interests alone, l shall have
accomplished much, and, with the
hearty cooperation of the members of
the board and the teachers and other
school officials, l can see no reason
why this cannot be done"
That the selection of Mr.. Thurston is
a popular one is shown by the many
expressions Of satisfaction voiced by
Washington residents In and outside Of
the public school organization The ac-
ton of the school board in making it's
selection unanimous attests the esteem
in which the newly chosen head of the
District schools is held by the entire
board while former board members, prin-
cipals of the schools and others join in
the chorus of commentator.

Chosen Unanimously.

The new superintendent was chosen by
d unanimous vote, with all the members
of the school board present, following
lengthy executive session of the board. at
which the merits of the various candidates
for the position were considered. The
names of Emory NJ. WILSON, principal of
Central High School, and Stephen Elliott
Kramer, supervising principal of the third
district, both of whom were classmates
of Mr.. Thurston at Central High School
in 1889, were considered at the executive
session.
When a decision had been reached to
line up solidly behind the assistant SUI
perintendent the board convened in pub
lie session and after dispoSing of
number of routine matters, proceeded TO
the election of DR. Davidson's successor
on motion of John +. Larner, who nom
mated Mr.. Thurs.on. The nomination
was seconded by DR.. G. w. Childs and

No changes are expected to be made in
the present policies governing the man
agement of the public schools of the
District of Columbia under the admins
tration of Ernest l.. Thurston, superin-
tendent-elect who, yesterday. was unani-
mously chosen by the board Of education
to succeed DR.. William NJ. Davidson, re-
firing school head.
Mr.. Thurston, who has been assistant
superintendent since 1911 will step into
his new position tomorrow to fill a six
month appointment as his selection is
only for the unfinished term of Dr. David
son which expires June 80, 1914. During
this period it will be his aim to carry out
policies inaugurated under the regime of
his predecessor, as the retiring and in
coming officials have worked in harmony
and entertain the same general Views
respecting the important needs of the
local school system.

Brought Before Board.

Vice President Ernest ii. Daniel and Or.

find Mr.. Thurston and bring him to the
boardroom. Upon the arrival of the
Northumberland President Blair in

ing which the body adjourned and held
an informal reception in honor of the
new official.
Public school officials who had remained
late at the Franklin building crowded
into the boardroom to congratulate Mr..
Thurston, who was made to feel that his
selection was a popular one with the en-
tire school organization. In point of
equipment and teaching experience, Mr..
Thurston is essentially a local man. lie

in 1889, and from George Washington Uni
verSity in 1898 with the degree of Mas
ter of Engineering. The following year
