The features Of the proceedings OF
the National Grange recently at Wash
tngton, were the submission of the re-
port Of the executive committee and the
calling of the members in a body On
President Cleveland. The executive
committee reported total OF over $31, :
900 loaned on real estate securities de-

agricultural class in other countries.
The report is strong plea for farmers
rights.

MORALS OF THE EATHTUE.
Its Important Bearing Upon n Mans
Morality and Business Success.


1T is very easy to find direct con-
nection between the cleanliness of a
people and their moral standard"
writes Edward w. Box, editorially, OF
The Morals of the Bathtu5," in the
Ladies' Home Journal. "Of all the ex-
ternal aids to a moral life none is so
potent as tidiness. An untidy man or
woman soon becomes moral soven.
Let man be careless of his surround
ings, OF his companionships, of his
dress, his general appearance and OF
his bodily habits, and it is not long
before the same carelessness extends
into the realm of his morals. We are
all creatures of our surroundings, and
We work and act as We feel II man
lives in home where carelessness or
untidiness in his dress is overlooked

tude to another. He very quickly loses

fine of itself, can soon become coarse

rcundings is coarse. | believe thor
oughly in the effect of mans dress
and habits of person upon his moral
character. | do not say that neatness
OF appearance and cleanliness OF per-
son constitute the gentleman or the
man of honor. But I do say that they
are potent helps. And | would like
to emphasize the Importance of this
belief upon the women Of our homes
For it is given them to he an imnOr-
tant factor in these helps to the better
ment of the worlds morality. The man
who makes a point of keeping himself
clean. and whose clothes look neat, no
matter how moderate of cost they may
be, works better, feels better. and is in
every sense better business man than
his fellow-worker. who is disregardful
of both his body and dress, or either.
He works at a distinct advantage. The
external man unqUestionably influ-
ences the internal man. l would give
far more for the work done by man
who has the invigorating moral tone OF
a morning bath and the feeling OF
clean linen than l would for the work
done by man who scarcely washes
and rushes into his clothes. The time
spent upon our bodies is never wasted;
on the contrary, 1t is time we'll in

must be clean before it can do good

OER SCHOOLS.

o0h OCllOoJS
The first week of-.the public schools
for this session was indeed flattering
Over $500 children were enrolled and it
is understood that many more will en-
ter Monday morning. Roanoke is
blessed with good schools and her school
officials take pride and interest In seeing
that the very best talent obtninnble is
secured in the way OF teachers The
corps of both white and colored are n
credit to the city ard would he to any
city in the State or country. Just think
of it. y boy or girl can enter the public
schools of this city and can be graduated
from one grade to anc Their and so on
through until the high school is reached,
which is turning Young men and women
out OH the country with II practical edu-
cation sufficient to meet all the demands of
common business avocations, and all
this can he done without one cent of
cost in the way of tuition Truly, our
people should learn to better appreciate
the opportunities Offered for the educa-
tion of oul children. 50
Superintendent Rust is a man about
whom little is said, but he tolls inces-
sanity for the upbuilding of our schools,
and always keeps Il sharp lookout fer the
very best talent as teachers. For in
stance. on Thursday night the school

ploy a primary teacher for the Melrose
school. On Friday at noon the new
teacher, in he person of Miss Alice Lea
Hundley, of Radford, was secured for the
position and OH yesterday she al rived in
the city, received her contract from the
school board and will take charge of her
department on Monday morning. She
comes to Roanoke we'll recommended, and
will no doubt lie ID most valuable adj
junct To the already efficient corps of
teachers here. Mr.. Rust deserves credit
for his action in the matter. One thing
regarding the high school building may
he in order here. and that is the condi-
ton of the windows on the second and
third floors. Bars should he placed
across them at once in order to prevent
any accident that might occur by reason
of their not being there. The same is
equally applicable to the fourth story,
which is 20 'e used rs play room. If a
child should accidentally fall from one of
these windows below, nothing less than
miracle could save its life
