secretary, will hold an important meeting
in this city February 22d. Rev. Dr. w.
w. Landrum, Of Atlanta, will deliver an
address on "The Baptist in the Revolu-
ton"
DR.. Landrum has given much thought
and research to the work, and will make
an intensely interesting address. Ar
rangements will be made TO hold the
meeting of the society in one Of the
churches of the city, TO which the public
will be invited.
The society was chartered by the Legs-
lature OF Virginia in 1876. and the first
meeting was held in June OF that year,
in connection with the General Associa-
ton OF Virginia. The meetings continued
to be held In connection with that body
until two years ago, when the society
met in Fredericksburg. The plan now
is to have a meeting every year in Rich
mond, and to work more definitely on the
lines OF historic research. The present
officers are: Rev. J. 3. Taylor. ID. D.,
president; Rev. ]. NJ. Pitcher, d. D., first
vice-president; Hon. J. T. Ellyson, second
vice-president; Mr.. S. j. Quinn. Of F'rede-

ing consists Of Rev. Drs. c. II. Ryland,
r. II. Pitt. and l.. r. Thornhill.
The society consists Of life and annual
members, who. though scattered through
the state. will come together and make
the meeting a success.

An enriched course OF study by using the

We must apply an individual standard
to individual children, not only in judging
OF their school work in general. but also
In graduating them out of the school.
IL is absurd TO expect OF a child with

should pass the same kind of examina-

occupies an important place on the pro-

these where manual work Is introduced
IN the sense Of technical education. Such
schools are trade schools. technical insti-
