EpE'GsTl0N IN RICHMOND.

In The Times of Sunday was valua-
bic ana instructive article on the growth
Of education in Richmond by Rev. Dr.. S.
c. Mitchell, Of Richmond College. The
article would not be complete if it were
not added that few men have contributed
more to the advance movement than
Dr. Mitchell He is a very modest man,
and never pushes himself forward. but
he is an earnest and industrious worker,
and when called into active service, we
have never known him TO respond with
an excuse. lie always responds in per-
son. and with a willing mind. He is not
Only willing. but lie is capable, and one
of the most valuable and helpful Of all
friend Of education He is a Sconsecrated
teacher, and not self-seelicr. He forgets
himself in the interest he feels in the
cause. We say this not by way Of ex-
changing Christmas compliments with
our friend. for he is not seeking praise.
nor is The Times. but by way OF inform
ing the friends Of education and the vir-
GINA public what a valuable servant the
cause has in this TENTED and consecra-
ted man.
We refer to DR.. M1tchc;ls article also
by way Of emphasizing some statements
which he has brought to the attention
OF the public. We quote:
Superintendent W Il. Fox, who has
done SO much TO bring Richmond's
schools TO their present state OF efficiency,
has an encouraging report to make Of
tile work Of the past year. From the sta
tstics he has shown some suggestive
thu SIS. The school population of Rich
mend is about 25,p00. OF this number
there were enrolled in the public schools
the past year lo139-not quite half of
those of school age. The public schools
are meeting finely the needs as regards
the children between Z and Ii years, while
tie mass OF those below and above IA
Years either attend private schools or are
not in school at all. OF the school popu-
,at.on between the ages OF and Il there
are enrolled z per cent. or those below
years, only 10 per cent; OF those above
Ii wears. only II per cent Hence the
problem is to enlist in the public schools
the So per cent. of those below years
and the So per cent. Of those above Il
years, who at the present are unac-
counted for. How can this be done? BY
having the kindergarten for the child and
manual training for the youth. The
School Board therefore, asks for an APP
preparation of $500 in order that it may
Introduce these necessary features. II
would be difficult to overestimate the
good that would accrue to our city from
such an expenditure. AS Richmond is
fast becoming Il manufacturing center,
it's success will be In proportion to the
number and skill of its workers. Both
kindergarten and manual training bear
directly upon Industrial conditions. They
brcathe values into raw products.
These are figures which cannot be
thrown carelessly aside They command
our attention a hint to the authorities
