Richmond, Va, Oct. 19-'rhc Grand
Camp of Virginia Confederate Vctc-
rams meets III this city tomorrow and
the attendance promises to be very
large.
The history committee met this after
noon, and after IL long discussion of the
question of school histories, the follow
ing was adopted
Resolved, That only such histories as
fairly present the principles and facts
| upon which Is grounded our American
| Republic, be used, with due acknowl-
| edgment of the actors in the foundation
OF the same and it's preservation frtGn
every section. In this spirit we would
recommend rs Virginia histories those
BY Mrs. Mary Tucker McGin and Gene
raj ID. II. Maury, and as histories of the
United States those OF Mrs. Susan Pen
dleton Lee, the Rev. J. William Jones,
Shinn, Hansel series, and Holmes.
Further, we would suggest for It's
moral and patriotic influence as auXll-
larry reading, the admirable life of
General Robert Il. Lee. by Mrs. Mary
Willamson-in our opinion IL might be
adoptcd-such is its clenrness and YER
bal simplicity. as u current reader
We desire. also, to express our admi-
ration of the recent uttcrances of the
Grand Commander of the Confederate
Veterans of Virginia, Colonel John Gus
sons, in his trcnchant arraignment OF
defamation Of the South in his "Glance
at Current History"
The committee then adjourned until
10 o'clock tomorrow morning hav-
ing first instructed Chairman Stubbs to
prepare the committees report to the
Grand Camp on the basis of the resolu
tions adopted and submit it TO the
committee at its meeting, to be held
