The Charleston News and Courier in
discussing reforms in the public school
system says:
most of the modern grammars Tor IN
FAINT minds are fearfully and wonderfully
made. We invite the especial attention
of all educational reformers 10 their pecu-
liar and glarlng dement's. Comic sections
are easy when compared TO them, as a
stern matter of fact"
Correct. Yet the average modern gram
mar is so far beyond the comprehension
of the infant mind, or any other mind
that it does not do any harm. 1t is neither
understood, nor expected TO be under
stood. but is simply learned" 1t, there
fore, has fewer dement's than Lindley
Murray There is in Lindley Murray
enough of the understandable-or rather
enough of the partially understandable
to give a child the headache and inspire
a longing for the end of all things.

1t was certainly the Greater New York
on Tuesday, by reason of having within
its limits the Richmond Blues. The New
York Sun says:
"Of all the visiting States Virginia
made the most splendid showing with her
Richmond Blues. AS they came in sight
with their white pumes erect on their
helmets and streaming up into the air,
their horses moving in admirably con-
troEed lines, and their band playing
Dixie there was no cheering, out one
mighty yen went up and kept up. The
tight-fitting blue and white uniforms OF
this battalion, and the magnificent white
plumes in particular. made them the most
noticeable body of men in the line, and IN
personal appearance and military bearing
they were the equals certainly of any
ether company"
In point of fact. it is reality ana not
a sentiment that "Old Virginia never
tires"

team. II the renewal Of the bridge does
not become necessary By some catas-
trophe, il will in any event have 10 be
renewed in a short period, involving large
expense TO the cities OF Richmond and
Manchester.
The railway company will not only re-
new seven OF the spans with a modern
steel structure and provide the roadway
with granite pavement, but in place OF
the unsubstantial railing alongside OF the
bridge, u strong tight fence Is TO be put
up. built on d steel frame. protecting the
sides of the seven spans and making 1t
almost impossible for fractions team
TO endanger the occupants OF the vehicle.
WHO WILL DERIVE BENEFITS
The object OF the improvement pro-
posed by the railroad company is 20 take
railway travel of the streets. The most
important street TO be relieved in this
way IS Ninth street over which the
travel 10 and from Manchester passes.
The railway company will undoubtedly
benefit by its work but the next most
important benefit Will be the improve
mcut i'm street travel and relief from the
dangers and delays that now exist In
passing between Manchester and Rich
m0nd. The dangers that exist now. are
increasing many fold by the growth OF
the traffic Of the railway. The driver OF
a team starting to or from Manchester
knows that he is liable 10 be delayed.
he knows that he can make no close
calculation OF time because OF these de
lays waiting for passing trains.
With the proposed changes carried out
All this IS done away with and the team
goes from Richmond to- Manchester with
the security and certainty with which 1t
IS driven on the best kept streets Of
either city.
II the conditions Of travel between
Richmond and Manchester are not i'm
proved the whole scheme has been a
mistake. and neither the railway com
pany nor either city should think OF II
for a moment. This feature as well as
others have been carefully studied. and
there can be no doubt that no mistake
has been made In the plans or in regard
20 the results that are expected The
objects Of tho whole undertaking will be
accomplished, II the scheme is carried
through.
