mon School branches, 1t Is most thorough
and searching, and the teacher who passes
It successfully must possess not only text
book knowledge Of the subject, but must
bo able to think Tor himself. Mr.. ByrnC
speaks very hopefully Of the condition Of
THE FRRR SCHOOLS OF THE STATE,
and gives 1t as his opinion that the next
Legislature will do moro for the good Of
the cause than the last one did. We hope
he Is right, but experience proves that
THE WRIST vIRGINik LEaIsLATuRE
Is an uncertain affair, and that the dotugC
Of the next one Is as yet very much

The law, as q matter Of course, Is broken
The offender Is arrested, an indictmep
