arycIExE IN OUR SCHOOLS"

The bulletin Of the Virginia Board OF
Health for February among other things
treats of Hygiene in Our Schools
subject TO which too little attention Is
generally paid Even here in Richmond
where it would be supposed that we
are careful about such matters. we are
not as mindful Of them as we should be.
In some Of the school-buldings here the
way drinking water is provided IN
buckets. where one cup is used Tor all
has been the subject of criticism. Medi-
cal men that we have heard speak OF the
matter say it would be a safer arrange
ment to provide a pitcher or water
cooler from which the water might be
poured into the cup, rather than that
the cup should be "doused' into the
bucket whenever a child wishes TO drink.
This by the way.
The article I'm the bulletin is contri-
buted under the signature Of Constant
and refers to the need Of ventilation in
school-rooms. points out the danger of the
dust accumulated from the blackboards,
&c, and closes as follows:
"A visit to many Of the schools in
other cities has stamped indeliby upon
my mind the value of giving to the class
room a neat and cheerful aspect; of
comfortably seating growing pupils. ana
of providing in each building a play
room of neat and cheerful aspect for
bad weather; also a room furnished for
the teachers comfort. With schools
made attractive, TO say nothing of the
silent influence over the child. instruc-
ton in drawing and manual training has
naturally followed
LAS for me, l may be pardoned for
two suggestions, not for me to give, but
for a competent authority TO judge: An
intermission other than the noon recess
would give time for the admission of
pure air into the room, and it would
DO away with much of the restlessness
which so often has to be treated as
matter of discipline. Six days holiday
at Easter, instead Of two, even at the
expense of other holidays during the
session, might be of advantage. The
system is often depleted at this time,
and needs a rest, which an ambitious
child cannot get If he is kept at home
from his class though the rest to him
may mean reserve strength for the eX-
sremely warm weather which frequently
occurs before the close Of the session.
1.-THE remark of a New England school
ma'am impressed me as she said: L
teach a parents school rather than
peoples school. I know that very few
of the parents ever take trip from
one city to another without inquiring
into the schools Of that city and into
the school-law and management How
many of our parents and how many Of
our lawmakers do? And do they make
use of thoughts gained? TO this spirit of
inquisitiveness, more than TO the wealth
of the people and to the large appropria-
TONS l believe educational success is
due"

wEyLER AND LEE.

The report that Captain-General Wey'
Ter had sent his resignation TO the Span
Ssh Government at Madrid. aS1d would
leave Cuba as soon as possible, was pub
lished in some of the northern papers
yesterday morning, only to be denied in
press dispatches yesterday afternoon. 1t
would be safest. however. to take both
the denial and the report alike. just for
the present-ta5e them. as experience
has proved it is safest to take for day

sion"-that is with several grains Of
salt. 1t is probable that before the
truth is known we shall receive half
dozen combinations of the assertion that
WeyIer has stepped down and out, and
Just as many denials.
None the less. Weyler is in a very I'M
comfortable position, and It would not
be matter for great surprise If he
should seek a way out Of it by resigna-

good excuse for resorting TO that course.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The Dispatch is obstinately reticent as
to the reason for its belief that the pres
ent is not a suitable time for holding a
constitutional convention, or for securing
statesmen as members Of such con-
vention. That able journal ought not to
feel wronged, under the circumstances,
if its inquisitive contemporaries conclude
that it does not answer because it can

Those who think the election Of mem
bers would result in a constitutional con-
vention of statesmen ought to vote AYE"
Those who have doubts on the subject
ought to vote mo" The Dispatch is
among the latter number.
Our doubts arise from occurrences in
our party last fall, and from the fear
that, unless a State Democratic conven-
ton outlines the policies that our party
means to pursue in constitutional con-
vention, all sorts of men, favoring all
sorts of issues, may be elected to the
convention.

posed TO say anything further than
what would express his lasting graft

whom he described as a truly noble
American, and a man who should long
ago have been in Cuba. Had he been
there years ago." General Sanguilly ex-
claimed there would have been less

very much agitated as he expressed his
feeling toward Consul-General Lee
Asked how he was treated during his
confinement he begged earnestly not to

breadth of argument, and directness of
purpose. Indeed, added the speaker, he
was not merely the eXpounder of the
Constitution. but virtually the creator
of that branch of legal training known
as constitutional law. This statement
was emphasized by calling attention to
the fact that very few cases are cited as
authorities in Marshalrs opinions, and
also by the remark that in his time
there were scarcely any that could be
cited as presidents in constituting the
Constitution.
