AN UNSOLVED MYSTERY.
4 FrcdericksJuw Free Lance.)


State of Virginia should pay out of
her treasury annually such large
sums of money for the maintenance
of the Medical College Of Virginia.
The Free Lance does not speak
thus because of any animosity to-
ward this institution; on the con-
trary it has the highest regard for
every member of its faculty, but
there is a principle at stake for
which we have always contended, to-
wit: Equal rights and privileges
to all taxpayers Under the pres
ent system of legislative appropria-
tions the Medical College of Vir-
ginia has received during the last
fifty eight years the sum of 500, 900,
of which $4,000 was paid to that
institution during the last decade
What have the taxpayers (,he real
givers of this large amount) re
ceived in return!
In 1894 the faculty of the COL
lege agreed to educate ten State
students annually free of charge, ex~
cept matriculation aud diploma fees,
and in 1897 the number of free
students was increased to nineteen,
with the understanding that these
nineteen recipients of free schooling
were to-be selected by State Senators.
These are the only visible returns
that the ridden people of this
Commonwealth have thus far re-
ceived for this immense amount of
money.
The proposition which we make is
q plain and practical one, to-wir IL
is unfair and unjust to burden all
the taxpayers of the Old Dominion
iu order to annually enable nineteen
young men to practice medicine.
But some may say the Medical
SVitS5o ". s.s..-.-.-.- -
tution. Admitting that, We ask:
Why should the State run an insti-
tuition at an annual outlay OF 81, 900
(see appropriation for 1900, and
free from city and State taxation
amounting to $aa0 per aunum. in
order to educate nineteen young doc
tors?
1t will be seen at glance that
the cost to the State per student is
1918 %, while the actual value of
one of these scholarships Gin equally
as good schools) is but $53.6S. If it
is necessary to spend over $500 TO
prepare young man for the prac-
tice of medicine in our own school,
would it not be much cheaper and
more businesslike to purchase nine
teen scholarships, from some other
equally as good institution when
they can be secured for less than $50
apiece?
This is not mere sentiment, it
is a business principle. No parent
would pay $500 tuition for his sons
education when he could get just as
good for 500. Ought the State do
otherwise?~
1t is also wrong and exceedingly
unfair to expect all the people to
educate few. Thousands of paren is
in this Commonwealth are .practic-
ing great economy in order to edu-
cate their sons and daughters. Should
they be compelled TO pay an annual
tax also for the education of these
selected nineteen? 1t certainly seems
unjust.
AS we view the subject, the proper
thing for the Constitutional Con-
vention to do is to provide literally
for our public school system and
close up every State school that can
not be run without an annual ap-
preparation, unless that school will
give to the child of every taxpayer
equal opportunities fer securing an
education. ~

The Salary Much Too Small to
Tempt Him to Remove
From Aberdeen to-
Washington.

Judge Campbell has received formal
notice from Attorney General Knox of
his appointment as assistant attorney
general in the Spanish-American war
claims matters, and in the communica-
ton. Mr.. Knox informs him that the
salary will be only 500 per month. The
small amount named soon decided
Judge Campbell not to accept the tender
as it would not be worth his while TO 90
to Washington for any such pay.
Indeed, the judge declined TO remain
longer on the bench of the Fifth circuit
at a similar salary, and he certainly
could not afford to accept the Washing
ton position. 1t was supposed that the
salary would be the same as that of
other assistant attorneys general, which
is 5000, but there appears TO be a
decided distinction between the two
positions as to pay, while there is very
little if any difference in the amount of
work to be done.-Aberdeen News.
