THE VIRGINIA INSTITUTION we
reprint a letter written by Mr.. Skinner
to the Staunt ton, Va, SPECTATOR, in
references to the appointing OF a princi-
pal for the Virginia Institution. Mr..
Skinner was for many years President
of the Board OF Trustees of the fnstitu.
ton, and has had a great deal of expe-
rience with deaf mutes. one member of
his family being deaf and dumb The
points that he makes in regard to the
qualifications of principal are all good
and true, yet his letter had no more ef-
feet upon the recently appointed Trus.
tees than mosquito would have upon
a rhinoceros Evidently party politics
in Virginia are bound-to thrive at the
expense of the deaf and dumb. The
motto, ITO the victorsS> belong the
spoils," Is carried out with a vengeance
The new principal may be a smart and
capable man in other walks of life, but
he has .hau NO experience whatever with
the education of the deaf and dumb.
Rejecting upon the sad lot of the pupils,
who will suffer from such unhappy APP
pointments, and foreseeing the lamenta.
BILE condition into which the Institution
is drifting. who can help signing for the
good old times when fealty to the com.

II Mr.. EDITOR MANY things combine to make
this place one OF enviable notoriety for its un-
equalled proficiency in various branches.
Though this, is a period of enterprise and
/ progress, yet in many respects this little town
is the same as Of old-dilapidated houses. un-
paved streets. mud and slush, hatred and pref
udice, meddlesomeness and tattling.
Our brief visit brought prominently to mind
the scenes and associations. the acts and re-
suits of other days-days when we were the
favorite target at which a large number of as
piring individuals delighted to hurl spiteful
and petty inuendoes. because a better condi
ton OF the town. an enhancement Of Its BUSH
ness interests. and an Improvement OF Its less
enticing parts were suggested; but those dayfs
as we'll az the progenitors Of those chaste artia
cles, are no more-one forever gone, the other
forever retired-days OF fond desires and dis
appointed ambitions that are past-all lie hid

Graded School.-A short time spent in the
excellent Graded School was both pleasant and
profitable. Compared to what once existed. an
opposite and decided position is now taken by
both parents and teachers as to what should
constitute an education. Children are now
in order TO fit them to successfully wrestle
with the great, responsibilities and duties OF
matured life-taughtto boldly grapple things
as they really exist. and not to meanly prosti-
tute things to their own twisted selfishness
and blinded ignorance. In this advanced age
schools are conducted SO that the development
and cultivation of that practical common sense
allotted to each may be proftably effected, in
stead of being few hours of languid and
anusiu recitation. Prof ]. T.. Crfbbins, the
