No. 3, issued by the Virginia State Wealth
or Service. in cooperation with the
United States Department of Agriculture
Weather Bureau, for the week ending
Friday, April l, 1892, issued at the central
office, Lynchburg, Va:
Reports from twenty-five correspond

viz. Smyth, Carroll, Roanoke, Bedford
Augusta. Rockingham. Clarke, Fauquier,
Prince William, Greene, Amherst, Camp
bell, Albemarle, Charlotte, Nottoway,
Henrico, Dnwiddie, Richmond, Middle
sex, Surry. Isle of Wight, Northampton
and Norfolk show that the temperature
has been slightly below the normal dur.
ing the past seven days, bat 1t has bad
no injurious effect other than in retarding
the growth of wheat, grass and other
spring crops.
The rainfall has been below the normal
weekly amount in the central section,
thence to the sonth and southwest and
west sections, while it has been slightly
above the normal IN the eastern counties
and northeastern sections. The rains in
latter sections have been light, but ex-
tended over several days, and thus kept
the ground too wet for working, and as a
consequence spring planting is later than
usual In the central, southern and south
western counties there has been more sun
shine, aud considerable progress has been
made in blowing and seeding oats. Wheat
and grass have generally improved. The
fruit seems to be safe yet and buds are be-
c,;Dr;oe, to awaU Warmer and dry wealth
or is now needed all over the State, and
as there is fair chances for such weather
following today. it is expected that much
progress will be made in general farm and
garden work during the coming week.

A Judge in philadelphia, IN discharging
a jury last week, spoke to them as fol-
lows: at is incredible that men of aver
age intelligence should stand out against
a verdict of murder IN the first degree in
the face of the evidence which has been
given IN his court. You are not only a
disgrace to society, but are clearly defeat.
ing the ends Of justice. Hereafter it need
cause no surprise if citizens should be as
saulted on the streets without interference
on the part of the police" And yet the
citizens of Philadelphia are heavily taxed
to pay for the preservation of life and
property in that city, and for the enforce
ment oflaw and order there. But the
Philadelphia jury was no worse than hun.
dreds of other juries. Leaving cut of
view the factor of bribery, most juries,
like most men, are governed by ignorance
and prejudice, and are therefore incapable
of rendering just verdicts. Better change
the Jury, for some other system by which
criminals may be brought to Justice

starving Children in Russia.

Another dispatch from st. Petersburg
saws that the committee formed tor the
purpose of providing relief for the chil
dren of the famine stricken peasants oil
Russia, has reported that in many. OF the
districts where famine prevails the chill
dren are so poorly nourished that they
are too feeble to undertake the long walk,
which in many instances requires an
homes time to accomplish, to the schools
where soup is doled out to those who
make application. Being thus unable to
obtain any food the unfortunate children,
driven desperate by the pangs of hunger
resort to the most unnatural means OF Sc.
curing something to stay the cravings OF
their stomachs. To such straits ale they
driven by the famine that they eat the
most unwholesome and disgusting things.
II was found during the Investigations oil
the committee that the children, when
nothing IN the form of food could be OBJ
tanned, we're in the habit of greodily eat
ing whatever rags fell into their posses
sion. and that when the rags failed them
their hunger was so great that they actn-
ally devoured quantities of earth.

Our Punlic Schools

Under the foregoing caption, the Spirit
of The TaUey comments on the public
schools OF the State as follows:
"Fcr long time it has been wonder o
US that our people would put uD with the
present so-caled free school 8 stem in
Virginia. 1t is imperfect in 50 many
particulars that 1T is a wonder to US that
the people-the rotrs-do not take the bit
into their teeth and not only demand but
compel our Legislators to give us better
school facilities. We want our schools TO
be run more months in the year. We
want better teachers and want them bet
ter paid. II the people will only organize
without respect to party and demand this
they will get it,"
While we have widely differed from the
Spirit on some other important questions,
we arc in hearty accord with our cotempo-
rary on this matter. 1t is the height OF
folly to expect our public schools to pro-
duce satisfactory results so long as we
continue to conduct them on basis OF
five months of school and seven months OF
vacation every year, aud so long as we
continue to pay teachers less than the
average earnings Of everyday laboreIs'
we must expect, as a rule, to Fave teach
ers who are totally incompetent to dis
charge the duties they have unoSvtaken.
Teachers who are fully qualified - fill
the important positions for which taey
have prepared themselves by hard stuoS
and adaptation of their mode OF life to
the requirements of the positions for
which they have fitted themselves, are
not justified IN accepting the short term
of yearly service and the beggarly COM
petence doled out to them In this state
and naturally seek engagements else
where.
As the Spirit intimates, it is time for a
change, and the newspapers of the state
can not engage IN a more profitable WORK
than Campaign of education" ON behalf
of our schools We trnst that the Splrl'
! will continue its efforts in this direction
and have no hesitation in giving the as
surance that Tie NdCS will lend all as
sinance in its power to aid in the further
ance of such a lau1able proiect.-'Shendan
