SCHOOL BOOKS.

Ths press and people generally are very
much interested in the charges brought
against The State Board of education,
aud the Book Trusts by The Pilot, pub
lished at Norfolk, Va.
Whether all the statements made by
The Pilot are true or not, there is ample
room fer investigation, and we believe
the people will demand thorough re-
adjustment of this matter.
Our school books cost entirely too much
meney, even for good times For years
the people of Virginia have been in the
clutches of that monster, the Book Trust;
yet our officials and represen tatives have
been silent on this subject, and few per-
soss are aware Of the amount OF money
quietly pocketed by the trust every year.
We have sugar trusts, the tobac, o
trusts, the oil trust, and many other
trusts, but the Book Trust is the MOI
edious and contemplate on the list. 1t
is said that we are free people, yet We
are compelled to buy certain books,
listed by the Board of Education, and
the price of these books set TO suit
'sulless book monopoly in New York.
Some of our books cost 100 por cent
more than they are worth and all eff them
more than they should. Nearly every
thing has been reduced in price In the
last four years, except trusts school books,
which are as high as when wheat was
enc dollar per bushel. Compare the price
list Of text books of todBy, with that Of
four years ago, and yen will find thore
has been no reduction in prices.
The state is interested in the education
of the youth more than any other one
thing. 1t furnishes teachers, houses and
furniture, and expects every child to at
tend school, and compels said child to
buy the books adopted by the State Board
If these books are purchased from a trust
every patron OF the public school is forced
to pay tribute to that trust.
Of course the item of school books is
not much to the rich man, who usually
has but few children, bot it Is a very I'M
pertant mat ter to the poor man, work
ing at low wages, who has large family
Of children, and Is obliged to support
them, coths them and buy books out Of
his small income. The State owes 1t to
every one bat particularly to the labor
ing man, to secure school supplies at the
lowest possible price. We believe in
making education as free and cheap as
possible. We do not believe in taxing
the people at any time, nor under any
circumstances to maintain a system of
free schools fer the purpose of fattening
lseches.
Virginia is not compelled to buy books
OF any book concern IN the world. If she
cannot buy books at figures to suit her,
from existing publishers, she can PRINT
her own books, and sell them TO her chill
dren at cost. This would save thousands
Of dollars every year to virginia, which
now goes to make the rich richer ard
the poor poorer.
This matter is being agitated. and it
shsuld be. Every man womanand child
in the Commonwealth is interested. The
people have a right to think, and to de-
maud that their interest be considered,
and not the Interest Of Ioulless book
publishing monopoly. More anon

me south. So noteworthy deviation OF
the line in level region seems to indicate
that heavy masses of considerable thick
ness must be situated there under the
earth's surface Great masses of iron were
naturally thought of first, and an attempt
was made to demonstrate the existence of
such masses by means of measurements Of
terrestrial magnetism. The scientist, II.
Fritschc so well known on account of his
researches in terrestrial magnetism, made
in June, 1898, II magnetic survey of the
ncighborhood Of Moscow for so kilometcrs

netic elements were precisely measured for
81 localities, and indicated cartOgaphical-

90 kilometers Q2H miles J wide from
north to south and $50 (03 milcs) long
from east to west, including Moscow, the
total intensity of the cnrth's magnetic
force is considerably greater than north or
south of this zone. The anomaly is great.
er than in the eastern.
"A chart of the anomalies of magnetic
inclination shows that the deviation of tho
magnetic needle from the horizontal is
greater than the normal north of Moscow
and smaller to the south, and the chart Of
the anomalies of doclination deviation
from true north) shows similar irregulari-
ties. These researches lead to the conclu-
sion that where the local attraction was
observed, in the ncighborhood of Moscow,
huge masses Of iron lie buried under
ground, and that they possess north mag
netism in middle zone and south mag
netism in two subsidiary zones stretching
north and south therofrom. The question
how deep this mass lies cannot certainly
be answered, but, according to Fritsche's
estimate, it may be assumed that the mid
die zone lies scarcely. less than rs, 900 feet
below the surface. An exploration of this
immense mass Of ore is therefore impossi-

One Red Rose Pays the Rent.

Many curious tcnures might be cited
from England Scotland and Germany,
but l only know of one in America that is
odd enough to deserve special mention.
Away back in 1772 Baron Henry Stiefel,
the founder Of Mannheim, Pa, donated IL
plot of ground to the Lutheran congrega-
ton, with the understanding that it
was to pay shillings down in cash and
each year thereafter lone red rose" Ac.
cording to provisions made at the time,
this red rose was to be given to the eccen-
trio baron or his legal heirs on the Sunday
nearest June 10 of each year. Ever since
that date large congregations meet at the
Mannheim Lutheran church to observe the
ceremony of presenting the red rose, which
always takes place on the mid-Juno Sab
bath. The recipient of the rose (for the
last seven years Mrs. BOyer) always
gives receipt in full for the years rent.
