A Batter School System.

The public school system OF Virginia is
not responding fully to the needs of the
State. This fact is generally recognized.
In considering this subject we once
thought that its shortcomings were due
to the fact that the schools in the rural
districts were not kept penlongenough.
We thought they ought to be run nine
months in the year instead OF iiyeasnow,
and that taxes ought to be levied suiii'
cient tokeep the schools open nine months;
but it has been demonstrated that the
people will not send their children nine
months. even il the schools do run for
that time. Some persons would con-
tinue to send their children, but it would
be impossible to keep mp the average.
There is one serious defect in the country
schools. Most Of them are run by a
single teacher who has to teach all ages
from infants to adults.-Staunto News

your head reel, stumble about ON the
dark deck, look down, down, down
through the open hatch. and, zounds,

dust. 1t roars with mechanical activ-
