SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS MEET.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENTS MEET.
That was an interesting and inn
portant meeting of the school superin-
tendeuts Of the State which was held
in Richmond last week. DR.. Southall
presided with wonted dignity aud ease
and the attendance was representative.
The members made fine impression es-
pecial on the reporters If the Rich
mond paper who described them As Of
imposing and impressive personelle.
The discussions embraced questions
of vital concern TO the school system
and were generally dealt with in mas
terly manner Catching the spirit Of
the age il was recommended that little
things be put together and made big
things. This means the closing Of the
doors that lead into small schools, and
the opening those that admit to large
ones And this means transportation
for teachers and scholars at public cost.
These things are all new in Virginia,
bat we live in a new year, new age,
and if these new things are best Vir-
ginia will not hesitate to adopt them.
The training of hands will in future
keep pace with that Of heads, and while
nothing Of emphasis was said of heart
training but let us hope that will keep
pace too.
President Jarman read a notable pa.
per, pregnant with wise suggestions on
teaching in general aud emphasizing
the wants aud work Of a Normal
school.
Having outlined the work now being
done at the Farmville Normal on the
pitiful appropriation of $4,000 a year
those present were impressed that this
amount should at least he doubled if
not quadrupled.
Prof. McMurray, Of New Jersey, was
listened to with rapt attention, aud
his address is worthy a permanent
place in the school literature of the
State.
There were other papers read and adj
dresses made Of signal import, and
no doubt this gathering will prove an
inspiration to the teachers and scholars
OF Virginia.
Mr.. Frank p. Brent, the able assist
ant Of Dr. Southall, was present to do
the honors Of the occasion, aud .Ithis
was done in his own courteous and most
acceptable way.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMHERST.

Curious crowdsof men and women
have been flocking 10 the Campbell i'm
vestigation.Only TO listen to as much
Of the disgusting and disreputable as
eould we'll be crowded into the same
space OF time. Can il be any pleasure
any Virginian tOhear Of malteasance
in Office on thepartof a Nirginian
Judge? That a minister grown gray in
The service Of the Master, is at one time
ready 70 scourge with his tongue and
the .ext to extend the hand in friendly
greeting That Virginia jurors conspire
10 "clear the court rooms" or "cut their
way OUT if any one dares challenge
their fitness TO serve? That prescrip-
ton bottle" is kept by high officials
That when a neighbor bOrrOws il aud
makes use Of il he then "blows' on the
lender? That lawyers will not prac
tice in Virginia court because trials
are mOckery? That the man who al
ways wins in his county can not be
trusted? That the sheriff shoots
feilowmsn to death? That neighbor
kills neighbor? What's wrong with
Amherst? And why this washing Of
dirty linen before the public rather
than in the back yard? And while we
are asking questions we would be glad
to inquire what's wrong with Fluvan-
mas judge? Has he been guilty Of
soiling the ermine too? And will
other investigations follow and then
an indictment drawn against a whole
community? 1t does seem as though
we had fallen on evil times.
Ifall We have been hearing Of Am
herst be true, apples with bushes on
them will only grow there, and per
simmons will refuse to ripen in Flu
wanna.

There may be needs in Virginia for
many Normal training schools for
girls, but the present need Of the hour
is TO perfect the one before others are
undertaken. The farmer who neglects
wheat cutting as long as there is wheat
10 cut in order to lay by corn, is con-
sidered a bad manager. "Whatever
is worth doing at ali is worth doing
we'll" applies to founding and
managing Of Normal schools as well as
to other human endeavors. One thous-
and girls at one institution can be bet
ter trained aud at less cost than can
500 in separate schools and under difie-

YIRGINIA NOBLY REPRESENTED.

We do not just know how it happen.
ed but some how we missed reading
until now the noble address of Presi-
dent George w. Miles, of Radford, Va,
which was delivered at the Buffalo
Exposition on Virginia Day, when
Governor Tyler and other representa-
tive Virginians also spoke. On that
occasion the distinguished and gifted
son Of Virginia had assigned him as
theme. Education in Virginia." and
never was subject handled by more of
a master.
For eloquence, classic beauty, con-
yincing argument and loyalty Of spirit
it will ever rank with the noble eff
fort Of the noblest sons Of the Old Do
minion.
How refreshing in this day when ef-
fort is being made by even some Vir-
ginians TO detract from the good re-
cord If the mother on the educational
care Of her sons and daughters, to know
that this splendid defence was made
10y one 50 competent and so courageous
in presence Of a condensed world
audience.
The pop-gun opposition is lost in
this mighty reply as surely as are
evening zephyrs in the roar Of Niagara.

school system IN America, for did not

public free school system a greater pro-

hiihs Of her total tax collections for
that great cause? ?"

III PAYS
TO Know Facts About Coffee

When man takes properly selected
food and drink Nature will most always
assert herself and rebuild the structure
properly.
"From my earliest remembrance I
vos q confirmed coffee drinker,' writes
@ gentleman from Marshallville. Ga,
"taking two cups at nearly every meal.
While at college I became very nervous,
dvspeptic, irritable and unfit for study
and attributed it largely to coffee, but
did not stop it's use.
"When I was married I found my wife
was troubled the same way, and we de-
cided to try Postum Food Coffee. Ny
wife made the Postum according to di-
rections and we found it superb. We
used it exclusively for the morning bev-
GRACE, and the taste Of ordinary coffee
became distasteful to both of US.
I'VE have found distinct gain in
health. Any amount of Postum does
rot cause a feeling of either dyspepsia
or nervousness, while the return to cof-
fee even for one meal has disastrous
effects upon my nerves. My dyspepsia
has entirely left me, and both my wife
and self are we'll and strong and feel
that it is all due to the Postum" Name

tum which has, when properly made, a
rich flavor and the color Of coffee with
uonc of its injurious after-effects.

Gillette's musical dogs have a great
big offering as the feature of the Poll
bill. They have a pretty musical act
and they have a pretty good sketch
which delights the children and amuses
the elders.
The leaping dogs are splendid while
the comedians make plenty of fun. 1t
amuses the children immensely at the
matinees to help punt the balloon one
of the dogs throws to the audience.
In the sketch line the bill offers a
splendid array. A leading one is that
of La Vine Cameron and company in
what they have styled 1.-The Demented
Intruder The demented fellow is
slick with his feats and the chair feat
as a climax brings down the house.
Julia Kingsley and Nelson Lewis
have their latest success, Her Uncle's
Niece" which is proving of good quail
ity. They amuse with neat and re-
fined bit of vaudeville.
Hal Merritt with his imitation of the
saleslady at the book counter of de-
partment store is great and it is evil
dent from the applause that Hal has it
down to fine point. His crayon work
! is good
In the bill also are the originators of
Good Mornin' Carrie Smith and
Bowman, a real clever coon duo, who
| sing in rag-tirne.
Mabel Russell and Chris Bruno, a
handsome couple, have THE Fakir, -
which is good and allows for good
songs and dances.

TO-NIGHTs CONCERT.

The concert to be given in Harmonic
hall this evening promises to be one of
the greatest musical treats of the
season. In speaking of Mrs. Alma
Webster-Powell, the New York Sun
says:
Miss Powell has a voice Of uncom-
mon compass, and by a clever use of
head tones she scared last night as
high as upper F. In the suite air she
emitted an E fiat that was a close irni-
tation, of flute. In the variations on
the diatonic scale she displayed facility
in ornamentation."
The ability of Signor Pirani is thus
lauded by the New York Volkszeitung:
Particularly interesting was the aria
from the opera "Das Hexenlied" by
Pirani, which was produced with great
success at the Royal Opera house in
Prague last spring. Piranfs compost
tons which he performed on the piano
with orchestral accompaniment were
charming In effect. The production of
"Das Hexenlied" in New York is in
view"
