EDUCATION IN vIRGINlAmsEcoND AUDITORS RE-
Partial reports made by the deputy marshals Of the
neglect Of education in the State has had the effect OF
directing the public attention more earnestly to that
important subject We told that the county of
Jefferson one of the weathes in the State there are
29l, above the age of 90, who can neither read nor
write In the county of Gloucester, GOO in the same
condition In the great central county of Albcmare,
there are upwards Of 600 adults who, in mild terms,
do not write" In Rockingham, there are 1850, over
20 years who cannot read write and about 1890 be-
tween IA and 20 in the blissu condition igno
rance-showing that the rising generation bids far to
be even more unlcttered than the present.
Regarding these counties, lying in different sections
of the State, as fair samples of the whole, VIC have
turned the Second Auditors report IN The hope OF
finding some system in operation, which promised mi
gaiion Of the evil Our hope, however, is not realised
Although the present system Of common schools has

Commonwealth, Mr. Brown inclined 10 prefer il

But this IS matter, we maintain in which We are
not permitted to consider the cost. The Common.

better system. Regarding it in this light as standing
in the way OF a better plan, view it positive
