COMMITTEES SELECT TEACHERS t Not Vet Heady for PaMlcatloa, feat In ' fhelee Merit System la Melaa; Brought te the Fore. The Board of Education will be under the necessity of seeking another instructor of manual training for the public schools. Prof. Clarence Tripp will not be a can didate for reappointment for the next choni year, as he has accepted a position as head of the manual training department at the Texas Normal school at Denton. In his new position Prof. -Tripp will receive a much .higher salary than paid here and Ms prospects fur advancement will be greater. Prof. Tripp's work here has been entirely satisfactory and the Board of Education aould be willing to grant him a sub stantial increaae In salary If he would consent to remain, but this he cannot now do, having accepted the Texas position. The committees on teachers and finance are now working upon the list of teachers for the next school year and as hs been customary In the past, the board will hold a special meeting before the close of the present month, at which the appoint ment of member will be made. The board. It is expected, will adopt a new system of fixing salaries. NThe automatic system of increases, which has been In force for years, Is to be 'done away with and a schedule of pay based more upon a merit system. It Is understood, will be adopted. The general sentiment of the board, It I said. Is for higher salaries with a weeding out of superannauted and inefficient teachers.

BT CONSTANCE CARRVTHERS. WASHINGTON, May H.-(Speclal Dis patch to The Boe.)-TTiftt brancn oi Washington Society Interested In art I looking forward with much Interest to the third biennial exnimiion oi contemporary American on paintings which will be held In December of next year. That sounds pretty far ahead, but preparations for th exhibition have been forward this long time, and ftllow me to sy. that It will be the most artistic event ever held In Washington. Invita tion, through the various legation ftnd embassies, will be extended to all the fa mous artists in foreign countries. Judging from the two prior eahlbitlone ft great number of out-of-town visitors will view tb painting, for In the other two exhibi tions more than 100,000 people attended each. . Fifty plcturas, worth more than 1106,000, were sold. Senator Clark-oC Montana, who ha de veloped an artistic Instinct since he ceased accumulating millions, has offered 110,000 for the four best American oils. The Jury, o far aa it I selected now, will comprise auch famous painters as F. D.- Millet. Fred ertch Vinton, Lewi Meshln, William S. Kendall and Edward Redfleld. Mrs. ' Percy, wife of Senator Percy of Mississippi, who succeeded the venerable James Gordon In the senate, is enjoying life In Washington to the utmost. This Is her first taste of oclaI life from the stnd polnt of the Inner circle and she is cordially taking part In everything. "I feel quite elated when I recognize a face," said Mrs. Percy, "and when I can place a face and name correctly 1 feel a elated a a girl at school when (he get a prlxe In her class. You see, when Wash ington officially and socially Is a world to be conquered. It is quite an Impossible taBk for on who begins at the end of one of th most actlv social seasons. The ex perience has been repaying,, and really, the occupation of learning names and faces and the general trend of events from the national viewpoint is more absorbing than the most exciting novel. But while I am Interested In conditions In Washington, I find the ''greatest desire among my ac quaintances to hear about life in the south. We have not remained quiescent down there while th remainder of the world ha been progressing. I find that people still expect to hear of the old south, mad famous In novels, when the planters had their hundred of (lave and when each plantation waa ft world in Itself. That con dition passed away years ago, and among th phase of American life, typioal ftnd de lightful, non deserves a more eloquent dirge than that of plantation life." Mrs. George Pullman, who spent the win ter here, haa returned tof Chicago, accom panied by her grandchildren, the family of Representative Lowden. Mre. Pullman pro ceeded to the Lowden country place, where Representative and Mrs. Lowden have since Joined her. They occupy the Wayne Mao Veagh house here, which they have closed for the season. Mrs. Pullman has been ill for short time, and Representative Low den haa ben In III health most of the winter. They hope the return to their na tive heath will restore them. Mrs. Pull man' new mansion In Sixteenth street, which Is nearing completion, will be on of the show houses In Washington. She ex pects to occupy It next season.

Olson of the West Virginia hftve also announced their engagement. "Tip" Knox, son of Secretary Knox, ev idently care little for society. The young man and his bride, with whom he eloped in Rhode- Island some months ago, have been visiting Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Knox, sr., but neither "Tip" nor his bride attended a single social function.
