The White rlan and the Negro.

I'VE are not to estimate the val
ne of the negro to the state simply
by the amount he pays III taxes,
but rather by the large amount OF
pioney his labor adds every year to
the commonwealth OF Virginia
Take that amount away. and the
ability of a large portion of white
people to pay taxes and MAINTAIN
schools would be greatly aimlnlSh-
ed. From this viewpoint It will be
seen that TIL" negro is entitled to
far more consideration in leglsla-
ton for schools than would appear
from his contribution in taxes
alone.
If We doom the negro to a life
of ignorance and degradation, We
just as surely do lasting injury to
the large body of white working
pa0pfe IN our country. For veal
or woe the fortunes of both races
are bound mp together. We must
lift up the ''negr oes. or they will,
by an Inevitable law of society,
drag us down. President Dreher
of Roanoke College in Richmopd
Tines.

"Wanted"-Better Public Schools

A meeting of teachers and friends
Of public education, We notice WAS
called for March the 9th, in the
public school building at Harrison
burg. The meeting WAS to have
been under auspices of the Rock
ingham County Teachers Cooper
ative League, and had for its object
the taking of concerted action to-
ward impressing upon prospective
mem bers Of the constitutional con-
vention the need of a better public
school system in Virginia. This
league wishes the convention to be
impressed with the fact that the
people want a system that will
command better teachers longer
terms and, of course, more money.
The greatest evil in our oplnI on
lies in the last mentioned one, viz,
more money. IL the convention
can provide means by which more
money can be had, then the longer
terms. better teachers and other
draw backs of the present syste III
can easily be remediea. Take the
schools of Highland county for
example. We are satisfied as much
is made of them as can be for tn e
money expended. We have good
teachers as our money will get.
We believe our teachers prepare
themselves as fully as their salaries
permit. The salary permits but
few if any, of our teachers taking
advantage Of the sessions OF the
School of Methods, therefore they
are forced to teach from year to
year under disadvantages arlSln e
from lack of new and improved
methods introduced from year t.
year. The salary in the first place
does not warrant thorough prep
aration. A person with finished
education will seek a more remun-
eratiye vocation. Give our High
land school officers more money
and we will stand for the better
teachers and longer terms being
jauppied.
