Ee,ncn,,onn, possibilities.

The educational possibilities OF the
brute creation have probably been
reached by Professor Gentry. who Is
known all over the land as a wonderful
trainer of dogs ana ponies. His latest
effort. however, il said to be decidedly
his best and many new acts are added
to his already excellent show this year,
such as the Gentry fire department., all
of the members of which are dogs, po-
MES and monkeys. They rescue helpless
animals from the building, operate the
apparatus and in fact do everything
that \ human company could. The chief
of the brigade is Il large monkey and he
issues the orders and directs the work
with the precision OF u veteran fire
fighter. There are many other novel and
interesting acts which will be seen this
year for the first time. The exhibition
will exhibit under canvas Friday and

Our information IL that DR. Southall
never proposed that the free transporta-
tion scheme should be adopted in the

gest such plan for few schools in
some Of the counties.
The scheme has been tried with sue.
cess in some Of the Northern and West
ern States. II is said that the school
year has been in consequence heightened
considerably and the schools improved
greatly. To each district is given the
right to adopt or reject the proposition
And it has been recognized as the most
efficient "means Of preventing the un-
due multiplicity of schools in country
districts, and the consequent dispersion
of the scanty school funds.
We are told that the districts which
have tried the transportation policy
have found that 1T saves money. in
creases the attendance Of pupils, and
improves the schools - The Dispatch
IS by no means prepared to say that the
transportation system is suited to the
wants and means of the people Of Vir-
ginia. Possibly it would do in some
sections, for if it means any additional
cost to the tax payer we know of very
few localities where it would be popular
1t was right enough however, for DR.
Southall to bring the matter to the at
tention Of the people Of Virginia, and
il is but fair that his position should
be properly understood It may or may
not be practicable for us TO adopt 1t.
