Our School system.

There are many indications that Virgin
ia 3 school system is to be greatly improv-
ed under the new Constitution. At pres
ent it is a very homogeneous arrangement
to make the Governor and the Attorney
General with the Superintendent OF Pub
lie instruction, Board OF Education.
There is nothing to show that the two
State officers first named are in any way
peculiarly fitted either to select superin-
tendents or to decide upon the books OF
the schools. The choice of the books
should certainly rest with professional
educators-not with the States legal adj
wiser and chief executive, be they never so
intelligent gentlemen. The system OF
some central authority choosing list OF
books from which the proper local school
authorities may in turn choose-is a
good one.
1t has now been proposed by the Com
mittee on Education that city and county
superintendents be elected by board
made up largely of the heads of the vari-
Gus institutions receiving aid from the
State. -Danville Free Press.

Mr. Thorpes prediction is in harmony
with sentiment that il often expressed
by the prominent Republicans OF the
State, who not very long ago were de.
claring on the quiet that nothing was
likely To defeat Col. Hoge for the nom
nation. Ii is universally conceded that
Judge Lewis, who presided over the Court
of Appeals many years, and who enjoys
the respect of Virginians without regard
to political affiliations. would be the
strongest candidate the party could nom
