OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Very Commendable Progress Made
In Every Department.
Faculties Now Ample For All DO
unnds-A Debt OF Gratitude Due
TO tho Friends of Education For
SccuringGrenter Accommo attons

Superintendent Dobie speaks enthu-
siastically OF the steady progress made
by the teachers and pupils OF Norfolk 6
public schools, in raising the character
and enlarging the scope OF the work
accomplished. The new buildings now
in process Of completion, in connection
with the new buildings recently built
at Brambleton. Atlantic City Ward and
the Fourth Ward, superintendent Dobie
says, will afford ample accommodation
for all.
He is much pleased at the evidences
OF progress shown by the recent exam
nations. citing as one instance the
work of 4 little lad seven years old,
whose answers to questions in the pri-
mary department, in spelling, arithme-
tic. geography and vertical writing.
were practically perfect This is only
one instance of many in all of the de-
partmentS showing commendable re-
suits. In some OF the higher depart
ments many of the pupils have made
general averages Of 9Sl. per cent
The adoption of the vertical system
of writing. although taught here only
one year, has proved very satisfactory,
and the work of the pupils in pen
manship is highly creditable.
superintendent BUb:c- ssfibutcs this
Improvement in general work TO the
adoption of new text books. some of
which are vastly superior 10 those here
tofore used in the schools. The COM
mittee on Text Books and Superintend-
ent Dobie went very carefully into the
books adopted by the State Board of
Education and spared no pains to ex-
anime into their relative merits and
choose those best suited for the worn
in the public schools of Norfolk
Mr.. Dobie says the people owe q deep
and lasting debt of gratitude to the
School Board and those friends Of cd
ucation and members OF the Councils
in making n needed appropriation OF
100000 who have so wisely provided
for the increasing educa tional needs OF
Norfolk by affording the increased
facilities demanded.
Chairman OF the School Board, Hon.
John Il. Whitehead, was indefatigable
in his efforts in appearing before the
Councils and urging the necessity OF
the appropriation, and since. as chair
man of the Building Committee, has
given a great deal of valuable time to
the erection of the new buildings.

KISSING BUG HERE.
THE FIRST VICTIM APPLIES TO A
HOSPITAL.

The kissing bug" an infnitesmal
insect which has caused much suffer-
ing and uneasiness in Washington and
other cities. arrived in Norfolk Thursday
night and registered upon the ruby lips
of n little girl. who was taken to st.
Vincent's Hospital yesterday for treat
ment. Her lips and face were terribly
swollen. However, she was not taken
in.
This insect, which has been christen-
ed the kissing bug.' for the reason
that 1t almost invariably attacks the
lips, is n mystery. 1t comes and goes
like the successful thief in the night
deposits its poison in the lips of hu-
man being. generally q child or woman,
and occasions eXcrutiating pain to its
victims. ], has operated quite extern
sively in Washington City. and col
umns in the papers have been devoted
to accounts Of its nocturnal visits and
silent operations.
About the only thing that has been
published In favor of the kissing bug
is its prediction for pretty children
mostly girls. and young and handsome
women. 1t rarely ever stings an elderly
ladN-nnd has not been known to bother
the lips of a man. That 1t will find Nor
folk fine field for Its operations goes
without saying.
