STRIKING FACTS SHOWN BY
new REPORT OF SCHOOLS
Volume Most Complete in Years. Coored People Taking
Advantage Of Their Opportuny; Some
Interesting Conclusions.

children to school In larger numbers than
ever before.
Second, that both the white school
population and the number of white pu-
pills in the schools are increasing.
Third. that while the number Of school
buildings in the State has not greatly in
creased, the advance in the value of
school property amounts to nearly $780,
600.
Fourth. the average length of the ses-
sions was greater than ever before. This
is because the schools had more money
to their credit than ever before.
Fifth, the equipment of the teachers
is constantly improving. More teachers
are being sent out from the Farmville
Normal and from William and Mary
College. to spend at least two years in
the schools; more of the graduates of the
female colleges are teaching in the
schools of the State.
Sixth. that while the actual number of
schools of the State has increased, there
has been a decrease in the number in
the rural districts. This is in accord
ance with the policy of the Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction. He wishes by
closing some of the schools where not
needed to make the remaining the better
for it.
The printers have practically all the
copy of the report, and much of the
proof has been read.

Apparently. the people are satisfied
with the action Of the convention in pro-
claiming the new instrument, ana it
is not thought that much further objec-
ton will be heard from any course. A
prominent member Of the convention said
last night that the politician who tried to
stir up strife over the matter now would
be ground to powder beneath the over
whelming popular sentiment in favor of
the new instrument.
Delegate B.. T. Gordon, of Nelson, said
he was sure his people wanted the new
instrument, and that they would be well
satisfied with the work of the body ii.
proclaiming the instrument. He did not
anticipate any bad after effect from his
people, and said the issue had been the
most popular one before the Democrats
of his county in years Others talked
the same way and there seemed to oe
a feeling Of general satisfaction on the
part of the membrs.
