AN INcIDENT AND ITS LESSON

| The offer OF a rich man to pay MIL
! lion dollars for perfect servant girl
has been variously commented upon by
newspapers and some have been disposed
to rdcule 1t. But there is lesson IN the
incident, which we commend to all per-
sons who make their living by toll. This
Ia mn exaggerated case. But there Is In
this country an urgent demand for first
class workmcn, for workmen who are
CAPABLE and Industrious and conscientious
I'm the discharge Of their duties Whether
the workman be an ordinary laborer, u
skilled mechanic. a newspaper reporter,
a bank clerk, a railroad superintendent
or what not, If he is first class OF his
kind, he may be sure of finding profitable
employment and If he is the best man Of
his craft, best In skill, In faithfulness and
in conscientious work, he can name his
own price and he will be In demand at
any price.
There is much force In the old saying:
There is always room at the top" That
Is true because there Is so little compe-
tition at the top; there are SO few men
who climb to the top and occupy the
heights. But the man who does climb
and get there and stay there Will find a
warm welcome and good pay.

That Is ali right rs far as 1t goes. Inc
state OF virginia is spending a great deal
OF money each year to give the boys OF
the state the advantages Of higher educa-
ton and Is spending mere pittance IN
this direction for the girls. But the more
important question is this: The pubic
schools of Virginia are being taught by
women. and 1t is a matter OF the gravest
importance that these teachers be tho
roughly trained. Every dollar we spend
on the Farmvile Normal School Is aol-
la. spent for the betterment OF the puoilc
schools OF the State especially IN the
rural districts. On the other hand, II we
stint the Farmville Normal School, We
stint the public schools, and this we can
not afford to do.
