am only concerned now in telling you
that one Of the greatest helps in consid-
.ering these questions was the free inter
change of opinions between students and
faculty. Almost from the first there
sprung up a system of petitions both from
classes and from individuals. This. of
course, was not at all unusual, but these
petitions soon became the means OF bring
ing about unconventional conferences be-
tween college officers and class represent
atives on the various subjects that arose
from time to time and were thus of I'M
told benefit In developing system which
should bring the professors to see things
from the students side as well as their
own.
This system has been gradually unfold
i;tg for the past nine years, and apsoiuteiy
no surprise was occasioned when lew
weeks ago the dean called Tor CONFER
ence with the several class officers and
requested them to call meetings to initiate
and discuss freely among themselves
SUE gestions as to practical improvements
that could be made in the various courses.
These meetings were held; the class ON
GERS then returned to the dean and they
!cld together a FIRE conversation on the
subject of how student can best be
taught the science Of medicine. The stu
GoLts in this discussion showed that they
appreciated the responsibility that had
beer placed upon them and while they
were encourage to speak and did speak
plainly on all matters, they exhibited a
most respectful attitude and an earnest
desire to promote the best interests OF
the institution.
The point I wish to make is this, that
the suggestions which you made in your
e. ecellent editorial had already begun to
be wrought out in one of the colleges of
Richmond, and that the authorities are
mere than satisfied with the results, and
are encouraged to develop the idea still
further as opportunity may arise.
Thanking you for your valuable space

DANGER OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat COM
plains that Ex-Governor Stone of Missouri
recently made a stump speech in New
London. which the school children of the
town. under command Of their teachers,
were compelled to hear. For two hours
we are told, they were made to listen to
MIR. Stones partisan talk
This incident is worthy Of the most Sc
rious. consideration of the American peo-
pie, for it is significant of lurking dam
ger in our public-school system. 1t is not
necessary for The Times to say that it
is heartily in favor of public-schoool edu-
cation; but, much as we appreciate the
value and Importance Of educating the
ch:ldren of the land, we think more Of
American manhood and American indepen-
dcnce than we do Of mere "book learn
irg"
The friends Of popular education must
not close their eyes to the fact that 1t Is
a dangerous thing for the government to
undertake to educate and mould the char
ncter Of the rising generation. Let the
children Of this land be reared by repre-
sentatives Of the government and :eacn
them that the government owns them
body and soul, and that they must look
to the government for their opinions and
their support, and it will not be many
generations before Democracy will be a
thing of the past. The idea of taking a
lot of school crildren by the throat, SO
to speak, and forcing them to listen 10
the partisan speech of a professional poll
tician is enough to arouse the resentment
Of every free and independent and liber-
ty. loving citizen of this Union.
Let US educate the children of the land
and let us do all that we can TO make
them good and upright and cultivated
men and women. But let us never edu-
cate out of them the spirit of American
Independence. If we DO popular educa-
ton will be the greatest curse that was
ever inflicted upon this country.

Colonel William Rison, of Danville,
whose death was announced yesterday,
vas one of the most remarkable men ever
reared in that section of the State. For
Twenty-Five years he was clerk of the
CORPORATION Court and no one was able to
dc.eat him for the position. He was re-
elected even after he was seventy-five
years of age, and he discharged the duties
of his office until about a year ago. when
lie resigned on account of i'll health. He
was one of the best clerks in the State
and deservedly one of the most popular.
Ee was always courteous and accommo-
dating. and it was pleasure to do bust
ress with him. He was noted for his
courtly manners and especially for his
cbiyalry. NO man could be more defer
eotial to women than Colonel Rison, and
in this respect. as in all others. he was
an exemplar for young men. He was q
thorough Southern gentleman of the old
school, a loyal citizen, devout church
rcan and altogether lovable. 1t is with
n sense of personal loss that we record
his death.
