ouARTERLY REPORT OF
HOARD OF VISITORS.
qHg SCHOOL Is ON The UPGRADE.

Urgent-Raiiroad Crossing
Capitol Notes.

Governor Tyler received yesterday from
Hon. Addison Maupin, president or the
Board OF Visitors OF the Virginia Schooi
for the Deaf and the Blind, the report OF
the board for the quarter ending Sep'e"-
her 3Oth. The report says:
.Tbe session Of 1S99-l9O0 opened most
auspiclously on the 9th of September,
there being a larger enrolment OF pupils
than at the commencement of any ses-
sion in the history Of the school. the
number now in attendance is 2O7, which
Is an increase over four years ago or
about A per cent. The school is decided
ly on the upgrade. the personnel peins
far above the average OF past sessions
and most excellent work is being done IN
every department. Since the large In
crease Of pupils the shops are not SUM-
GENTLY large, for in them the boys are
taught useful trades, such as carpentry
roottress-making. shoemaking, tailoring
&c therefore. IL is all important that
there should be more room LOT tils
branch of instruction. as II aiter yeaIS
those who would be dependent upon 70
tives or a public charge WITHOUT .he
knowledge thus acquired, are seH-sup-
porting citizens.
NEED A NEW LAUNDRY.
"Tbe laundry is entirely too small for
nreeent needs. and should be replaced
with one more modern in its appoint
ments. The board earnestly requests tnat
Won will ask the Legislature to make a
special appropriation for the enlargement
OF these buildings. or to replace them by
new ones which would be FAR more econo-
mical. During the past three years there
has accumulated a deficiency OF S.5l6.l4,
expended for current expenses and re-
pairs which were absolutely necessary 10
make the property remarkable. When III
is remembered that the appropriation was
S37 800 per annum when there were sixty
pupils fewer than at present, when we
are receiving only So, 900 per annum, 1t
will be seen at once that we must either
send home some of the pupils or be given
more money TO defray the expense ac-
tualsy necessary. We know the Superin-
tendent to be a man Of fine executive
ability, economical. and DESTROYS OF wise
~ expanding the funds at his disposal.
and in his judgment. as in ours, it will
require at least $4,000 per annum to sup
port the school this session.
1--WE deem it a fortunate circumstance
that your Excellency spent the greater
part Of two days at the school In June
last thereby acquiring a knowledge OF
the situation which no report of ours
could impart. Very respectfully.

THE RUSH TO EUROPE.
Some Speculation on the Economic Ed-cts
Of This Growing Tide Of Travel
From the Cleveland Leader }

From the Cleveland Leader }
Prosperity in this country is having
its natural effect in causing a tremend-
Gus rush to Europe for summer pleasure.
In bad years many Americans who
are rich beyond any need Of economy
feel unwilling to 60 TO Europe because
they think that their business needs
closer watching than they can give it
at long range. So hard times tend 10
keep even the rich at home With the
middle class the difference between
prosperous years and those in which
failures are many and lossos Of capital
and income still more numerous is so
great that hundreds Of thousands who
consider any trip across the ocean out
Of the question in dull seasons are
strongly tempted TO incur the expense
under generally favorable conditions
A great number take the time and go.
Consequently the tide Of travel to
Europe is almost unprecedented. Many
steamers are taken, to the last berth,
for months ahead, and IL Is evident
that the accommodations Of the big
Atlantic lines are inadequate to the
needs of the swarm of tourists. Next
years business, with the Paris Exposi'
tion as a special attraction, may be
family imagined. Barring some such
untoward influence OF an extraordinary
nature. as q terrible pestilence or
great war, all records will be beaten
out Of sight. American money will be
spent in the old world with freedom
never before known, and many millions
Of dollars will be added to the profits
Of European business men.
The economic effects Of even such a
tide of travel to Europe as that which
has now set in are often underestmated
When 100, 900 Americans go abroad A.,
spending perhaps 81, 900 apiece on the
average, because of the great extrava.
gance Of the very rich, it means that
800, 900, 900 of the balance Of trade in
favor of the United States is wiped out
at once. 1t is giving to Europe the
net profits on the sale Of not less than
$500, 600 in merchandise. That is an
item big enough TO seriously affect the
international business relations OF the
United States. 1t tends powerfully to
stop imports of gold and the homeward
movement of American securities own
ed in Europe
