The presentation of "a Box of
Monkeys" was given Friday even

Another State Female Nor NAL
to be Esta blished

The special joint committee o.
the Senate and House Of Delegates
: which was appointed for the
| purpose of reporting as to the
feasibility and desirability Of
establishing another Female Nor
NAL School in the State, with
courses in industrial training, has
prepared its report. The COM
mittee recommends that there is
imperative need of the establish
ment of another Normal School
for females, with industrial train
ing. ="
The period is rapidly approach
ing, says the committee, when the
condition or the system of govern
ment that permits child to grow
into an unframed CITIZEN s crime
against civilization and reproach
to the government that fosters the
crime. The overwhelming pre-
pOnderance of women in the work
of training the minds of children
is impressed by statistics showing
that nine tenths of the total num-
Der of white teachers in Virginia
are women. Despite this fact,
there are four State institutions
for the equipment and training of
males to one for women. Necessity
has made woman a co-worker with
man; chivalry demands her equal
preparation for the struggle; in
justice alone consents to less. In
dustrial training is no longer q
fad, nor an experiment. Its
effectiveness has been tested in the
increased accuracy, studiousness,
discipline and comprehensiveness
of the pupil.
In connection with the establish ,
ment Of this normal school, would
it not be well to call attention to
Lexington as desirable location |
for the school. Hotel DE Hart is @
a most excellent building for this 7
purpose, and no doubt it could be q
secured on reasonable terms. The /
environments of Lexington are 1
distinctly educative. Besides the /
,wo institutions here for higher f
education, we have public and t
high school second to none, and a
formal school that has been con-
lucted for some years with sue
ess.
