FARNHAM.

THE SCHOOL QUESTIoN--PERSoNALS.
Much of the past week was spent
discussing whether the children of
the public school should cut the
wood, sweep the school room, etc.
Mr.. M. q. Lewis instructed his chill
dren not to cut the wood and sweep
the floor unless the teacher did like
wise. But the teacher said she
wouldn't sweep. On the day APP
pointed the trustees met, caucused
and resolved that the teacher should
assist the children in sweeping the
floor of the school room, but she
positively refused. We have much
sympathy for Mr.. Lewis, as they
(the trustees) jumped on him with
both feet, 80 to speak, and drew a
line separating the Farnham school
district from the Oakland school
district that will prevent his children
and others from attending the Farm
ham school. This is hardly right,
because as the Farnham school dis
trict is now formed it is said to have
10 children of school age while
Oakland district has 90, with much
smaller schoolhouse than Farnham
and a much smaller teacher. We
indorse the views of Mr.. Lewis on
this subject and hope he will be able
"Single and alone,
To hold his own"

NOT OvER-DRAWN.

1t would seem far better were the
members of the Constitutional Con-
vention devoting more time to de-
vising mesns whereby our public
schools might be kept open for q
longer period each year and the
teachers of these public schools re-
ceiving compensation Mt least COM
mensurate with the work actually
performed.
Some of these very men who have
seemingly forgotten the public
schools, in their herculean efforts in
behalf of the University, are unwill
ing to work more than 3 or 4 hours
a dag for 81 and yet think that
the Woodworking and bard-worked
school teacher in Virginia ought to
be satisfied with from $25 to $50 per
month, and labor from a. m. to 4
p. m. 1t must be remembered also
that many of the schools of the State
are, because of lack of funds, only
kept open from to 6 months in a
year.
Good teachers are worthy of q
reasonable compensation; bad teachers
are worth less than nothing to the
public. The lower your estimate on
the value of teacher, the lower you
place the profession, and step by step
through the avenues of deterioration
the whole public school system slides
until at last you will awake some
day to find that the public schools
are. a farce and the teachers are
teachers in name only.-Free Lance.

DEATH OF MIR. JAMES GEORGE.

Mr.. James George, ST., OF Urbauna,
who was visiting his daughter, Mrs. j.
I. Rilee, of this place, died quite sud-
denly late Tuesday afternoon. He had
been sick only few days from a third
attack of the grip, which showing pal
pably upon the heart, caused apprehen-
sions on the part of DR.. Newbill. Treat
ment was administered TO stimulate the
heart; bu, without warning. and while
all OF the family but one were at tea,
this member ceased to beat and life had
departed.
The deceased would have been ~

ton of mis- life here, though many years
ago he removed TO Fredericksburg. He

We called attention some little time
ago TO en- experiment that was to be
tiled In the London parks. This was
the stocking OF the flower beds with
beautiful butterflies raised for the pur.
pose from caterpiilars. The plan has
been tested In Battersea park and
promises to be a marked success. Some
$500 caterpillars were placed in q
small building, il feet by 10 feet. Ike
. greenhouse. They were reared on
frssh cut nsttles, and recently the
winged insects have been turned loose
at the rate Of 400 day.
The greatest trouble that has been
found with the success OF the plan ID
caused by the rascslly English spar
row. who was quick to take advantage
OF this source OF food supply. At first
the windows OF the Matching shed were
left open. SO that the butterflies would
get out as soon as they were able to hy.
The sparrows soon learned this and
waited for them just outside OF the
window.
But, even In spite of these bird
nuisances, the experiment is announced
as being entirely satisfactory. and next
season the hatching Will be tried again.
Here is suggestion for some OF our
park oficiais. for no one will question
that large number OF beautiful but.
ternies would do much to add to the
beauty Of cur public flower beds.-Bos-

Another Voluntary Testimonial

Or. w. j. Neso6ill, Treas. ". N. NJ r. Ass'n:
DEAR SrR:--Business pressure and the
many cares incident to my heavy loss
sustained by fire November IL, 1901,
have delayed the grateful acknowledge.
ment of the full payment of that loss,
$4,000.
The gratitude feel cannot be ex-
pressed In words for the remarkable
promrtitude with which the policy
holders in the Northern Neck Mutual
Fire Association" met their assessments
to cover my loss.
Within two (2) months from date of
my misfortune receipted in full for
the amount placed to my credit In the
Lancaster National Bank Irvington, Va.
Indeed the whole management Of this
"Hcme" Company displays promptitude,
energy, caution, good Judgment and.
above all else, strict honesty in the ad-
ministration of its affairs, and deserves,
as they should justly receive, the appro-
baton and commentator of all who
have already insured, or who may here
after upon careful thought, insure in
this worthy enterprise. 1t may not be
amiss In this connection to add my
strong convictions, after fullest consid-
Grafton of all facts, that the source of the
confiasration was the "parlor MATCH" so
styled, exploded by rats or mice. If
correct, may this sad misfortune prove a
warning to all promiscuous handling of
this most common article of merchandise.
Very truly yours.

OYSTER BED CASE.
Injunction PROCEEDINGS In Court Of
Appeals.

Judge Prentis, of Norfolk, having
refused to grant an Injunction re-
straining Oyster Inspector Avery
from assigning r. "A. Mspp, for
oyster purposes, 235 acles in Lynn
haven bay or river, which Robert
Woodhouse and others claim by
ancient right of fishery, application
has been made before the Court of
Appeals for the injunction asked for.
Judge Prentis had granted an in
junction restraining an assign ment
of the grounds in question until after
Woodhouse's fishery license expires,
January 81, and the petition denied
was one involving the question as to
whether oystermen can come In and
secure grounds that have been used
continuously for years by fishermen
earnings livelihood thereon. Judge
Prentis said the question was one of
great Importance to the State, and
that IL should be passed upon by the
Supreme Court.
Oyster Inspector Avery, by direc-
ton of the State board of fisheries,
has already assigned Mapp the
property applied for. There promises
to be long fight in the courts
between the oystermen and fishermen.
