rule to revaccinate after puberty, and at inter-

Especially would this seem to be necessary in
cases of epidemics, or when the occupation of
the individual should predispose him to con-

such doubt should be given in favor of re-

Federal Aid to Education.

The Dispatch's Washington correspon-
dent. under date of the Both gives the fol-
lowing; EARLY in the ion there were a
number of bills introduced making liberal
provisions for public schools. Among these
that of Senator Blair. of New Hampshire,
attracted considerable attention in Vir-
ginia. 1t appropriated from the treasury
1000 900 for the first year, 900, 900 for
the second, and SO on, iminshing the
amount each year by a million. The Com
mittee on Education has taken no action on
either OF these bills. but has reported Mr..
Morrill's bill, introduced few days ago,
with amendments. 1t will be remembered
that gave its provisions in brief As agreed
upon in comm irtee. it leaves out the net

roads. under act of May 1878. shall be ap-
portioned to the States, Territories. and the
District of Columbia, each ear, on the ba-
sis of population between the ages of five
and twenty wears, and declares that the TO-
tai sum shall be set apart as an educational
fund and entered upon the books of the
Treasury to the credit of the fund, and bear
interest at the rate of per cent, the inter-
est on such educational fund only to be paid
for educational purposes as provided in the
bill. For the first ten years the interest
will be divided among the States. &C., &C.
cording to the number in each above ten
years who cannot read and write. 1t is
further provided that third of it may be
used by States, &C., for the more complete
endowment of agricultural and mechanical
colleges until the annual income accruing
to said colleges shall reach $4,000. The
first apportionment is to be made on or be-
fore the Both of June, 1882. Section Sth Of
the bill provides that so per cent. Of the first
apportionment and 10 per cent. of subse-
quent appointments may be use by States,
&C., to build up normal schools. II State
or Territory misapply any portion of its
share, such State forfeits all future appor-
tionments until it has replaced the full
amount Of funds thus misappropriated.-
This bill is in substance the same as that
which passed the Senate last session.

EDITORS VALLEY VIRGINIAN The undisputed

me (who am neither director nor edttor) to ask
space for few remarks elected by the controversy
between yourself and Mr. Tucker, regarding the
Wastern Lunatic Asylum, Its present and prospect

partizanship upon the present Board of Directors;
at least upon Gov. Holiday in their appointment

ion as to Gov. Holidays motives In his appoint
menrs, certainly the Board OF Directors are to be
acquitted until by some act they manifest partisan
ship, and as Gov. Holiday is not now trial that
part of the Indictment can readily be dismissed.
The Board of Directors in electing the present
perintendent for term of three years, did only
that land nothing more, than the law required OF
term for which they were appointed. You will
need no other nor better lawyers than yourselves
to decide upon that. Nor Is reference action OF
past boards q plea, in face Of fundamental law.
You will hardly claim that precedent establishes

County Roads.

The almost impossible condition of the
county roads for the past month should
arouse our farmers to the necessity OF a
radical change in the present inefficient law.
The prominent highways throughout the
county are in such state now that it
is impossible to make use of them for haul
ing. 1t takes pretty good team to draw
an empty wagon over many portions OF
them. In some places for hundreds of feet
the wheels sink in the mud up to the axle,
thus putting stop to all kinds of hauling,
at the very time of the year when most of
the hauling could be conveniently DONE
The wet weather has practically blocked
farm operations. Wood cutting and lumber
gathering are about the only employment
with which to occupy hands. If pixies "a
dated from Stanton in all directions, sea-
sons like this could be taken advantage of
to market the surplus wood, lumber and
farm products generally. Or even if the
roads were properly made and kept up
teams would not be idle.
Our farmers may expect til is kind Of
thing TO be repeated year after year if the
present system is not changed. Not only
is it unjust to and oppressive upon the poorer
classes, but it is wholly inefficient. The
overseers do just as little as possible. and
some of them do that little to the injury of
the road. In many instances they cut a
few bitches, throw up some loose dirt in
the centre and then regard their duty as
performed. There is no system OF drain
age to secure a solid bed, and the result is
that there is no actual improvement. Nor
could it be expected that anything like de-
cent highways would be kept up under the
present law. The hands who work the
roads are in large majority of cases.
wholly inexperienced and have ne desire to
learn. All they want is to save fine by
playing at road making. With the money
which the labor expended on roads ought to
represent, the thoroughfares of Augusta
county could be kept in good condition.
Let those interested get together and de-
termine upon some plan and then present
it, in the form of petition, to the Legisla-
ture.
The road tax should be levied as other
taxes are The work should be let to con-
tract to the lowest bidder, and competent
inspectors appointed to see that the con-
tracts were faithfully executed. The aim
should be to permanently improve the
roads by proper side drainage aid the Sc
curement OF solid centre bed. If neces-
sary special tax should be laid to get the
work started right, and after the first year,
the outlay under the present law would be
sufficient, if judicionsay expended. TO keep
up repairs and gradually improve. There
is nothing that will so surely enhance the
value OF Augusta lands. and bring good
return to the farmers. as the Inauguration
Of system that will secure good highways.
It is q matter demanding present attention
aud should pot be longer deferred. Prompt
action is needed, apd badly needed.
