WANT LESS SCHOOLS.

The State Department Of Public In
struction will in short time issue o
circular calling upon the county school
authorities and the patrons OF Virginia |
public schools to unite IN reouciu6
the number of country schools.
The circular will refer especially TO
the schools in the country districts
The State officials claim that the multi
plication of country schools has para
Iyzzed the Virginia school system IL
is said that in nearly every county IN
the State there are too many weak
! district schools with poor attendance
OF pupils and taught by p0orely paia
teachers. The officials believe the only
cure for this evil is in reduction oil the
number of schools. The difficulty oil
| the task of fully realized. 1t is a great
lboon to the country resident to have
| at his door school for his children.
He will not give it up readily
| However, the Department oil PuDllc
instruction will make an earnest appeal
| 70 have the work of consolidation be-
| oun at once. The longer the matter
| is DELAYED the more difficult it Will be
of accomplishment. Virginia SPENDS
neatly 100000 every year on public
schools. Nearly one-half OF this sun
lis expended upon country schools
which are not at all what they shoul
he by reason of the tact that they hay
so greatly increased in number until
many counties the system is grown
weaker year by year,

THE sHIRTWAlST MAN,

ANOllOih e~N~O
When the sun is shining downwar'
And is hot as all get-out-
Then it keeps you guessing daily
How you ought to go about
The latest great improvement
Built upon the iceberg plan'
Is the coming Of a creature
Called "The shirtwaist man"
He strolls along serenely'
While others cuss the heat;
He never wears a coat CT vest,
And looks so cool and neat.
Most everybody wonders
Why they ever used fan,
Since the coming of a creature
Called "The shirtwaist man.
But the general public swelters
As a rule OF etiquette;
And many men will suffer
just to be social pet.
The year of 1900
Has removed an awful ban'
BY the coming Of creature
Called "The shirtwaist man.

Sheep sh,uld be given dry locations
in preference to low meadows. Foot
rot is due largely to keeping sheep on
damp ground, and they will also thrive
better when given shelter and dry
quarters at night. If the pasture is
yielding plenty of green food sheep
will need nothing else, but if the herb
ace is scaut they should have half a
mint of oats each at night and an a.

THE SAUNTERER
Hard Life OF, a Dete ctire.

Arduous indeed are the duties Of the
State detectives. These positions are
not by any means the sinecures some
people think they are.
In a conversation with Detective Wit
sil last night, the Saunterer got an
insight of some of the hard work done
by these officers. The Saunterer dis
covered that the detective had not been
in bed from early Monday morning OF
this week until Wednesday, and did not
even have his shoes off.
During this time he was at work on
different cases of more or less impor-
tance. The same condition of affairs is
liable to occur at any time.
