His Work Not Completed.

''The people of the District should get
together and see that DR.. Davidson gets
an increase in salary" That was the
statement made by Ernest H Daniel
vice president of the board of education.
Il sincerely hope that DR.. Davidson will
not take the Pittsburgh position. He has
done wonderful work during his term in
the District schools and that work is not
yet completed
William I. Gslliher. also member Of
the board. said he understood no formal
offer has Is yet been made to DR.. Da-
wilson. But said Mr.. Galliher. Il
should greatly deplore it if DR.. Davidson
were TO go. / do not believe We have
ever had man who has SO thoroughly
systematized the work of the schools
and whose interest is SO thoroughly fixed
in the interest Of the schools. IT he went

and the public schools

PRESIDENT SETS ASIDE
CIVIL SERVICE RULES
Authorizes Four Appoint
ments Without Requiring the
Prescribed FormaIitieS.

President Wilson has issued executive
orders authorizing the appointment of
four persons to the government service
without reference to the civil service
rules. One OF these orders says that J.
Leo Kelly of New Jersey may be ap-
pointed an automobile expert In the Post
Office Department without examination.
This ORDER it Is stated, rs issued at
the suggestion Of the Postmaster General
that owing to the recent purchase of q
large number OF cars for the parcel post
service, and the fact that Lieut. Her
man Kotzschmar, jr.. Of the revenue cut
ter service, who has been acting in the
capacity Of automobile expert for the
Post Office Department. has been order
ed to sea duty the services of an expert
are all the more necessary. The civil
service commission does not recommend
that an executive order be issued in thi,
case

MAY TRY TO RAISE
DAv|DSON'S SALARY
Board of Education Likely to
Take Immediate
Action.
SCHOOL Superintendent
RELUCTANT TO COMMENT
Not Formally Offered Pittsburgh
Position, But Belief Is He Has
Only to Say the Word.

That move will be made Immediately
to have the salary of DR.. William NJ.
Davidson. superintendent of the public
schools here, increased, is the belief of
several members of the board of educa-
ton. 1t is quite likely that the board
itself may take immediate action in this
direction. DR.. Davidson has been men
toned for the SUPPLEMENTARY Of the
public schools of Pittsburgh and it Is be-
lieved by many of his friends here who
know something of the inside of the sit
uatioD that he has only to say the word
to receive the position. No formal offer
has SO far been made, however and DR..
Davidson himself is reluctant to COM
ment either one way or the other.
Although it is believed by members of
the board of education that the monetary
increase in salary in the Pittsburgh posi-
ton will be of only secondary considera-
ton on his part, all unite in saying that
Washington should be able to offer a
salary Commensurate with that offered
by other large cities, SO that that phase,
at least, of the question might be elimi-
mated. The 5000 year more-a so per
centHncrease over the salary of the local
superintendency-is by no means the only
attraction offered by the Pittsburgh
position, 1t is said.
Worth More Than So, 900 Year.
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes and Mrs. Edith
kingman Kern, members of the board,
last night declared that irrespective of
the fact that Pittsburgh was likely to
put in n bid for the capitals superin-
-tendent he was deserving of more money
than $1,000 year. Mrs. Kern pointed
out that DR.. Davidson was one of the
most tireless workers the schools had
ever had, taking no vacation last sum-
| mer, but staying in town and getting
everything III readiness for the reorgan-
iZation which came with the opening of
the schools in the fall.
Mrs. Rhodes explained that she found
$1,000 4 year commensurate with the
salaries for such offices paid in those
cities having 900 teachers Washington
has nearly twice that number.
DIR. Davidson's work has been Of a
very high order. and. | believe. has been
appreciated" she said
Mrs. Kern pointed out that DIR. David
son had given his best work to the
schools from the moment he arrived here.
1T took him some time to learn the sit
uation here. He knows it now and is
prepared to give the most efficient work.
l should like to see DIR. Davidson get
more money. He has great cares and
responsibilities in his present position.
We should not allow Pittsburgh the
chance to compete with the nations cap
ital."
