assertion Is made that 80 per cent can

cent who cannot Ii this refers to the total
Philippine population of 100000, and to

OF literacy would be nearer the re-

that per cent of the inhabitants can

almost entirely lacking. Travelling libra

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
RICHMOND, Va, March 3, 1902
In the convention today a resolution was
presented by Mr.. Anderson of Allegheny
to rescind the action Of the convention
whereby biennial elections are provided for
in choosing members of the general as
sembly, and providing that they should be
elected quadrennially.
The corporations commission report was
again taken up and several sections were
taken up and agreed to as reported by
the committee. Owing to the absence of
members who are opposed to them, and the
section pertaining to liability of employers
vas passed by at the request of the chair
man, Mr.. BraXton, who desires to offer an
amendment
At the afternoon session the debate was
on the section requiring all railroad COM
panies desiring to build lines in this state
to secure charters. The amendment to
strike out the provision was defeated
The report will likely be finished today
and the matter of finance and taxation will
be taken up.

Senator Mcmillan has introduced a bill to

Condition of School Grounds.

This led to a consideration Of the COM
grounds of the District. Several years ago
in some of the larger school grounds a few
trees had been set out by the parking
commission but there has never ,cn any
we'll devised plan for the be.terment Of
the school grounds. Unfortunately. most
Of our school buildings have little or no
play grounds attached, but nearly all are
provided with small parking space IN
front which would afford opportunity to
set out flower beds and in some instances
Shrubbery and trees.
1.-The recommended tions Of the board of ed
ucatiOn in the matter of the purchase of
school lots have looked toward more ample
Fairgrounds. so that the buildings con-
structed within the last year or two are
better provided in this respect than some of
the older buildings
Appropriation Needed.
'Mr William r. Smith of the botanical
garden, in a conversation with the presi-
dent of the board of education and myself,
expressed great interest in this subject and
intimated that there would be no difficulty
in getting all the trees We might want.
There should be. however, a definite appro-
priatiOn not only for setting out Orna-
mental shade trees and Shrubbery and for
the preparation of flower beds, where space
is available, but also for the care of the
same.
"The subject of school gardens planted
and cared for by children is attracting
good deal of public attention in some parts
of the country. Steps are being taken to
instruct our normal school girls so that in
the near future the work may be begun
among the pupils.
Teachers in the primary grades are ex-
pected to familiariZe the children with the
names and characteristics of the common
shade trees found in our streets. Such ia
miliarity should beget a love of nature in
the child and is bound to lead to better care
on the part of the children of the trees and
