Educational Change.


Miss Florence Phillips and Miss Sallie
West, the we'll known teachers of one of the
most popular schools that Stanton, with
all her good schools, has, are now in Nor
folk arranging to take charge Of the large
school there, taught last session by Miss
Julia Robinson. Miss Florence Phillips
is the daughter of that well known educa-
tor, Rev. e. H. Phil Ups. and during the
feeble health of her father in his last days
at the Virginia Female Institute here, was
virtually the Principal of 1t. She is one
of the best lady educators our State has
produced and has had training for it
that, perhaps, no other female teacher in
Virginia has had. Her companion, Miss
West, also ranks high in her profession.
Staunton regrets to lose these teachers,
not only as teachers but as members of
her social circle, and Norfolk may well
congratulate itself on having obtained
their services. Rev. r. H. Phillips, with
his family, except DR.. G. G. Phillips, will
move to Norfolk with Miss Florence.
The school they leave here. we are glad
to know. will fall into highly competent
hands. 1t will be taken by Mrs. W. H.
Fowle. assisted by her sister, Miss India
Happier, two ladies of education and abili-
ty. whose hearts are in the work, and who
will keep the training of the children COM
mitted to them, up to the high standard
set by the Misses Phillips & West.

The Cooling Moth.

In Prof. A. J. Cooks paper on the
codling moth, read at the Michigan
State Pathological Society, he said that
the bands should be placed on the trees
by June Goth as very soon after that
date the larvae will continue to leave the
apples. The first examination of the
bands should be made the first week OF
July. Every variety of apples are first
attacked by the moth, and bands on the
Early Harvest, etc, should be examined
for the larvae. The examination should
be made at intervals not greater than
ten days, as this will cover the briefest
period Of preparation.
Experiments made during the excess
sive heat of last season showed that an
interval of twelve days between the ex-
amlnations was too long, as many empty
pupa skins were found. AS the first
brood are developed by the last week of
August, and as the second brood do not
leave the cocoon until the next year, no
examination need be made after the
last week OF August, until nearly win
ter, when very careful examination
should be made by unwinding the bands
and crushing all larvae and pupa with
the fingers.
Without the removal Of the rough
bark by soaping and washing, the bands
cannot be effectual. The removal of all
rubbish beneath the tree is also import
ant. Those who have not yet used the
bands should seek out and destroy the
larvae under the rough bark, and in all
other places where they may be found

THE FAME OF RED CLOVER
as an enricher of land, is due in great
degree to the dense shade the plant
shrouds the earth with, beneath its rank
vines. This crop supplies grand res
crvoir for the dews and rains, which re-
turn to the earth laden with nitrogen,
the plants greatest food supply and the
farmers chief store of wealth. Years
ago hot contest was waged between
agricultural writer's on surface manur-
ing and blowing under. Theory strong
ly backed up the latter class, who did
not abandon the field till repeated and
we'll conducted experiments clearly
demonstrated the fact that if the best
results were to be obtained from ma
nures they. must be spread on the sur
face, and this is especially true of barn
yard manure. Much of the beneficial
results which follow top dressing is
doubtless owing to the shading protect
ing qualities of the mulch.
UNDERGRADUATES ARE FINDING
out that much labor of cultivation may
be avoided with increased benefit to
their trees, by a'judicious system of
mulching. The roots of the trees are
thus kept free alike from the robbery of
grass and weeds, the scarifying effects
of the pillow and cultivator, burning sun,
drying winds and the trying ordeal of
frost. The value of green crops as fer
tilizers, doubtless is greatly due to their
agency as mulch. Darwin gave the
common angle worm credit for being
an impo rtant benefactor Of the farmer,
in working the soil into loamy friable
condition which best fitted it for sup
plying food to the finest rootlets of
plants, and nowhere does the worm SO
delight to work as in cool moist soil,
well sheltered by thick, protecting
mulch. Great benefit may be secured in
the cultivation ofgarden, root crops and
horticulture by judicious system Of
mulching.

though we know at the same time that
we could use it to better advantage on

money if converted into beef, mutton,

think we cannot afford to wait. In
some cases this is true; but there are

are sufficiently iorehanded to feed cat

our small surplus of grain would dis

The railroads were gwen almost
enough land to pay for their con
struction. Why should they then
object TO the payment of taxes like
other people, and why should not the
people who have so magnanimously
given them such large donations OF
the public domain, have the right to
say a word about the cxtortionate
rates of freight transportation, and
take steps to prevent such extortion
IN the futuref The people gave the
railroads valuable franchises to be
gin with and now they must be ex-
pected to demand the valuable con
ditions Of justice and fairness in
their business relation to them. II
these can only be had by legislation,

IT is pardonabe to cultivate a
pride in political pedigree. We have
heard many assign no better reason
for their political faith than that
they had been so and so all their
lives. A certain amount can be ex-
cused to sentiment like this, but
men should learn better founda-
ton for political faith. A mans po-
litical connection may run not only
through his own life but also that OF
his father and grandfather, and yet
he may stand on wrong foundations.
He mag believe wrong postulate, and
erroneous theories. That faith which
comes from ancestral bias, needs a
thorough analysis as much as any
other, If iran would stand on his
own bottom aud think for himself.
In the light of such reason as this,
it is not so much question of dem
ocrat. republican or wheeler, as it is
one Of sound principle and correct
policy. 1t is not so much a question
of name ms one Of faith, for any sen
sible man must see at once that the
name could amount 10 nothing,if the
policy were wrong. The end of gov
eminent is to attain safety and pros
perity, and these can be attained by
correct principles and by right poll
cies, but by names never. For these
reasons it is always important to
study the foundations Of party belief,
