DUNLAP HAS RESIGNED
George A. stauffer Elected Secretary
of the State Board of Agriculture.

Columbus, O.-The State Board OF
Agriculture has elected George A.
Stauffer, Republican politician, bank
er, publisher and farmer, of Putnam
county, to succeed Renick w. Dunlap,
of Pickaway county, who resigned as
Secretary of the board. The tender
of the place was made to Stauffer last
week. Until Stauffer reluctantly agreed
to accept the position under pressure
from the Governor, the board did not
know that it was to get Dunlap's res
ignation. With the acceptance of
Stauffer, Dunlap faced the alternative
of resigning or being discharged.
Assistant Secretary James W. Flem-
ing, of Columbus, who aided, some
years ago, in cleaning up the CONNER
cia1 fertilizer scandals, also resigned.
The board was willing to accept
complete dictation to be relieved of
the odium that has attached from its
many difficulties, including the famous
deficit of $4,000 in the conduct of the
State Fair 1t even yielded to the sug-
gestion that pressure be brought to

never been any charges against him.
F'leming's friends say he was sacri-
feed to save Dunlap's prestige.
Writing to John Begg, President of
the Board of Agriculture, Dunlap gave
the following as his reason for resign
| ing: ''The best interests of Ohio agri-
culture can be served when the Secre-
tary of this department is supported
and aided by the entire Board of Agri-
culture and its employees. Without this
cooperation it is impossible to render
the service Ohio farmers expect and
desire. 1 hereby tender my resigna-
tion as Secretary of the Board of Agri-
culture of Ohio, to become effective at
the pleasure of your board

Board Of Education.

bOarQ OF EQuCatIOn.
Practices of the Cincinnati board of
education designed to improve the
teaching staff of the Cincinnati public
schools are outside the present laws
and will necessitate amendments to
the school code before they will be
legal. This is made clear by an opin-
ion given by Attorney-Genera Edward
c. Turner to the state bureau of ac-
counting, which asked the questions
because an examination revealed in
was exceeded. The attorney-general
finds that the board of education is
without authority to send a teacher in
the employ of the board to continu-
alton school or to university. 1t also
is illegal for board to arrange an ex-
change of teachers, each district pay
ing its own teacher The board at
Cincinnati had arranged an exchange,
with Portland, Ore, but the project
must now be abandoned Teachers
are held not to be entitled to allow
ance for managing children's savings
banks. 1t is, however, lawful and
proper, the attorney general holds, for
the board of education to establish
and maintain an elementary school in
the city hospital, and to contract with
teacher to give instructions in the
branches mentioned in the law to
children who are confined in the hos
pital. The ruling will allow the school
in the General Hospital, Cincinnati, to
be continued. The reason for holding
that other plans are prohibited is that
the school laws are very definite in
the limitations they fix upon the board,
and in the past special payments have
been authorized only when the laws
were amended to permit them.
