FIRST CATCH OF THE SEASON
Oyster Boats Ready for a Rush on the
OYSTER Rocks.
Especial Dispatch to The Times-)

NEWPORT NEWS. VA, Aug. 3o.-The
oyster season opens Monday. and the
usual fleet of small vessels with their
sturdy crews is tied up along the river
ready for the campaign. The boats will
be out on the water long before the sun
is up. and early in the day some of them
will be boating shoreward with the first
catch of the season.
News is comparatively insignificant, out
side of the local consumption in Hamp-
ton it is extremely large. and a big pro-
portion of the catch !tnds its way to that
town to be manufactured" and sent
North. Many of the Warwick and Eliza
beth City oystermen, moreover. do bust
ness with the big Norfolk packing eStab-
lishments Norfolk is really the "oyster
center" of the State, the most important
point in this respect, indeed, south of
Baltimore.
There is talk, however. of establishing
another oyster factory here, and there is
reason to believe that this will become
an important oyster packing center. With
the completion of the breakwater and har-
Dor for small craft now being built by
the Old Dominion Land Company, this
contamination will be the easier.
In the meantime, wherever the bivalves
are disposed Of. Newport News, Elizabeth

sections of the Virginia peninsula furnish

ST. Adams SCHOOL

One of the Best Known Institutions in
The State for Boys and Young Wome n
ST. Adams School is situated in the
blue grass region Of Virginia, in the neart
of that health giving section which is so
f,yonns as a resort the country through.
It is separated from Radford, Va, by the
New River whose breadth and graceful
curves wind for several miles III sight
of the school, and which is spanned by
three great bridges in full view OF its
y,r.ndahs and windows The buildings,
NJ colonial style, are of brick, trimmed
With white, and are lifted up with all
The most modern Improvements OF heat
water and light They were built for
school purposes having in view only the
comfort. health and happiness OF its
boys.
The idea Of the founder. Colonel George
w. Miles was to provide an educational
home where boys and young men could
find the fullest opportunities Tor develop
Tnent-mental, moral and physlcai-under
masters who were to be real masters
along these three lines. For ten years he
has stIiven with this purpose before MIN,
and the degree Of success that has at
tended his efforts is attested by the con-
stantly increasing numbers of the patrons
of the school, as we'll as by the degree
CT fitness its pupils have shown when
moving up to more advanced educational
centerS.
The number OF boarders is limited to

BOARD Will nave authority to withhold

TOO NEAR TOGETHER
A great reform in this matter would
be wrought II trustees could SO locate
the schools in their respective districts
that they would be at least four miles
from each otner BY this arrangement no
child would then have to walk more than
two and a half miles school. which was
considered a very reasonable distance
twenty or thirty years ago. l do not mena
to say that the Board of Education
shoulu deprive any persons of school
advantages by a too rigid enforcement of
The law. for no man has Il just right to
complain if he mas good public school

lowing the method adopted in the north
western States this could be done by in
Guiding in each school area twelve square
miles arranged somewhat In the shape
of a cross. The irregular shape OF our
Virginia counties would in many in
stances greatly initiate against this pol
icy, yet it's partial adoption would go Ear
towards removing this evil tendency that
is sapping the lie out OF our rural
schools.
EXPERIENCE OF OTHER STATES.
In almost every State of the Union
vigorous efforts are making to improve
the condition of the rural Schools and
especially to consolidate the small schools
into larger and stronger ones. centrally
located and better equipped. People have
found out that this is the first and most
important thing to do in rural school adj
ruinistra ton. When this is done there
will come in swift succession better school
houses. better teachers and longer school
terms. Virginia cannot afford to lag in
the rear OF. this great movement for the
Improvement of the,rural schools. Evil
dences are multiplying on all sides that
our people are waking UP to the impor-
lance and the necessity of giving the
boys and girls in the country districts
the same educational advantages that
the children of the humhlest denizen of
the cities now enjoy But this cannot be
done unless more money is raised by local
and State taxation. the number of rural
schools reduced, the school term length
cred and better equipped and better paid
teachers can be employed. In bringing
al this to pass every patriotic citizen
should gladly co-operate for there is no

The games of the kindergarten, to him
who has not studied them, may seem
foolish and trivial, the methods of the
teacher may seem subyersive of formal
discipline. the work that the child ac-
complishes may appear infinitessimal,
and what he learns scarcely worth the
consideration of grown men and women.
AS matter of fact, however, these
games and methods and results are of
the deepest significance in the future
life of the child. 1t is simply case Of
damming the rill at its source, of train
ing the sapl,ng while 1t is still absolute
" plant. The very childshness of the
methods shows that they are adapted
TO the child. The kindergarten is char
acter building brought down to the ca
pacity of a child of three and adapted
to his limited interests: out Of these
trivial means come habits, thoughts,
methods of work and observation, aSpl-
rations for higher things. which will
mould the child's entire life and shape
his whole career. In these two or three
years the Kindergarten will do work IN

habits SO firmly that they will grow and
