FRIDAY. JANUARY 10. 1903.
sUrpzlEsnaINrENpnyTs, CONFERENCE.

We look for much good from the con-
ference Of Virginia school superintendent
which began here day before yesterday.
The gathering represents unity for the
ADVANCEMENT Of great. noble cause.
Taking them by and through the Virginia
schoo! superintendents are behind those
of no State In devotion TO their work.
Individually. they have done Ill Trey eould
to get the best results from our public
school system. AMI 1hs MEANS at its COM
naand. None the less. It IS Il question
whether as to the country schoa:s-and
with those the conference has had to dc
altogether-nethods could not be divised
aud reforms Instituted that would render
tha system fruitful ct still higher results
in making the school FUNDS go further in
the Iend. and in paying better educational
intetest on the investment.
Many superintendent and teachers have
long held that desirable changes
could be devised and Instituted. The con-
ference has afforded an opportunity for
q full and free interchange Of ideas on
the subject. and sentiment seems to have
crystalised on one reform at least, as
very desirable That is. consolidation Of
schools as far as possible. This would
smaller more uncomfortable, and poorly
furnished school houses the gradual erec-
ton OF larger and better equipped school
buildings at central points. improved or
ganisation among the teachers and greater
discipline for the pupils.
Another sentiment has developed infthe
conference. which. while not strictly bear
ing on reform does bear forcibIy on
the matter OF increasing the efficiency IF
the schools and is very significant as IL
Illustrating the earnestness OF the superin-
tendepts ii the cause they represent. We
refer TO the sentiment in regard to I'M
crease Of local taxation for school pur-
poses.
Again. much OF interest has been
brought out with respect of the problem
Of negro education-witI respect to how.
and to what extent the negro should be
educated Ia order 10 secure from his
schooling the greatest benefits for his
race and the Commonwealth.
And lsst, but not least, the conference
has offered an opportunity-which has
been ayailed of-for bringing the super
fniendents and the public to clearer UNI
Outstanding of the Ogden movement. Its
objects. it's relations to Southern ednca-
ton. and what those behind it are able
I TO 30 and. hope to do.
AS representing that movement, DR..
Buttrick. in his capacity of secretary Of
the General Education Board. enlight-
ened. and has been enlightened, and has
been placed in position to make intelli-
gent report regarding the feeling towards
the Ogden scheme of those who more i'm
nediately direct Virginia public edu-
cation IN the country. Also. the confer
ence has. ee think. made it easier than il
would have been otherwise for the Cen
ersl Assembly to prooced intelhgently In
enReting such leg1sIs tions touching the
public schools as may be called for. or
permitted under the new Constitution.

Current Comment.

current COnamenI. -
Says the Norfolk Landmark, in discuss
ing the question of giving publicity to
the financial statements Of counties: TO
get the matter into proper shape. the
law should call for the annual publication
OF an audited account In one or more
newspapers of general circulation in the
county. It is d!fcu4t for the general
public to get rnuch out OF merely posted
statement; whereas each citizen can cut
out and examine at leisure a; statement
published in 2 newspaper 7.st
That is the only business way OF doing
the thing. Courthouse door posting is
chi chill play n giving publicity to such
statements.
According to the Buckingham and Ap-
pomattox Times. the game laws Of Buck
ingham are being outrageously vsolated.
However. similar complaints are coming
from other parts of the State, and it is
beginning to appear that unless Virginia
game. especially deer, are not to become
extinct it would pay the counties to en-
ploy game wardens
Ia connection with the proposition to
tax every nonresident who comes into
the State to hunt, the Warrenton Virgin
Ian raises the question-and nice one It
seems to be: Whether the nonresident
SO taxed would have. a right to hunt on
posted land
So far as wa have seen the Boston
Herald Is the only New England paper
that has tackled that negro appointment
Of Rooseyelt's up at the Hub. and the
Herald retires from the attack in the fol-
lowing limping fashion: wv hatever may.
