San Jose Republicans Against Congressional Com- mittee’s Action. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, April 19.—The . Republican Good Government League, representing nearly 200 Republican voters of Santa Clara County, will rebel @t the high- handed work of the Fifth Congressional District Committee in refusing the party right to select delegates to the convention at Sacramento which will select delegates to the national convention. Two weeks ago the league dellvered the Republican State Committee its ultimatum that it would not support any nominations from this county that were appointed. This threat will be carried into effect. T night's action of the Congressional com- mittee means the turning of the appoint- ment of delegates over to the Rea gang, wihch the league does not propose to tol- erate. From the expression of members of the Congressional committee this was expected and last Saturday the Good Gov- ernment League appointed a committee of W.

ITISM IS | NOW THE RULE ‘What the Revocation of Former Priority Scheme Department Signifies. in School is the Only | The present Board of School Directors has broken away from the policy set by its predecessor in its consistent fight for the establishment of a system where pri- ority of appointment prevailed in the lection of teachers to fill vacancies. longer will the equitable method lection for priority of enrollment use. Favoritism has again been installed. After the creation of scores of teachers by the board which served in 1598 the de- partment was flooded with unnecessary school appointees, and the expenses in- creased month by month far beyond the appropriation of the Superviso Last year's board made a total sweep of all unnecessary teachers, retrenching ex- penses and following a fixed line of econ- omy in this respect. At the same time a resolution was adopted which placed the teachers thrown out on the substitute list, and that all future regular appoint- ments should follow the chronological or- der of the acceptance of the teachers as members of the department. The 'present board does not belleve in priority of appointment as a rule. On March 28 it adopted a resolution that all teachers appointed from the substitute iist should be made regular teachers only upon recommendations of principals and not uccordirui‘ to the old rule. In other words, a teacher who was entered on the substitute HSt a year ago might recelve an appointment before one who came into the department.six months prior to that time. - The tention of the board is that a substitufe who takes a class where a vacancy. has occurred becomes familiar with ‘the pupils, and if the recommenda- tion of the principal follows the appoint- ment should be made. There is no check upor the old system of favoritism except a previous service as substitute. Luck or pull seems to be the measure of future appointments. n the very day the old rule was re- pealed and the new one adopted four teachers were appointed. Miss M.
