MILLER SCHOOL
COMES TO RESCUE
Gives Valuable Lot to AIbemar|e
for Public School, Thus Re-

Tho Miller Manual Labor School has
taken u hand III the public education OF
the State.
This splendid institution has just given
to the county of 4Abemarle site for d
public school in Il section of tha county
where land is valued at 800 an acre. This
was done through the influence of Captain
Nawter, who has the subject OF popular
educa ton close to his heart.
Near tho Miller were some twenty or
thirty children who had no school home.
1t did not seem likely that they would
get one directly because land was not
easily tc be had. But here the Miller
school, which is doing so much for the
youths of -Albemarle county, stepped in.
The gft was technically 4 sale. But the
price which might have been expected to
have been $40 was only 50. The size of
the plat, as obvious, IS three quarters of
All acre. The trustees of that county dis
tricL then came along. They, through the
means of taxation, got enough money to
put up a. comfortable ard attractive
school building. But they barely had
enough for this, and would not have :,ut
