NOW FOR A BUILDING.

The General Assembly has made lib
eral appropriation for a Virginia exhibit
at the st. Louis Exposition. but 1t is pro-
vlded that no part of the money so ap-
rropriated is to be used for a building,
aud so a movement has been started to
raise a fund by private subscription to
erect a Virginia building on the GROUNDS.
Naturally. it has been suggested that
Monticello, Jeffersons old home, be re-
produced, and there ought not to be any
difficulty in raising the money for this
purpose. Such building would make
a most attractive feature and would be
great convenience. as 1t would be
matter of pride to the hosts Of Virginian:
who will visit the exposition.
It is not proposed to make an exh1b'
of relics IN this building, but to make !
a sort Of homo for the visitors. and lit

4 PLEA FOR THE CHILDREN.


During the late session of the National
Conference OF Charities and Corrections
in Atlanta, one Of the speakers from
Georgia made an address on Child
Labor" in the course Of which he said:
1--WE are suffering in Georgia more from
,dlcncss than we arc from ignorance. We
want a gospel Of work rather than the
substitution or promise of anything else
as the means OF improvement or advance
ment. Our children should oil be etli'.
Gated at public expense up to the point
contemplated by our State Constitution
If they need anything beyond this thev
should be encouraged to procure IL by
their own efforts. In this first struggle
they will learn self-relance. the first prin-
cipie in every successful career. II on
the contrary they are taught reliance
upon public or private charity, ana inc
substitution OF State guardianship TOT
that of the family, except In compare
lively few cases. they will not only ran
but IL over educated, while the necessary
grounding in principle at the PRESIDE Is
neglected, ms a rule, they Will fall out
with the established order OF things
evolved from the worlds experience.
Here Is n point which the people OIL

jealousy guard. Tho Time Dispatch 10
in favor of the public school system. and
It has done what 1t could to promote the
cause of public education. but we have
never neglected to point out the danger
in a system which educates the children
OF the Commonwealth at the public eS-
pense. The public school system is So
clalistic, and all forms OF socialism IN any
republican government are dangerous we
do not regard the public school system as
the best system of general education. II
would be far better IL the children could
be instructed In private schools. But as
that Is impracticable. as many parents
nrc not able to pay tuition. and as public
Ignorance Is public danger. 1t Is neces-
sary for the government to come TO the
rescue and educate the children OF the
rising generation at the public expense,
II Is the best that can be done.
But care should be taken, as po'nteo
out by this sensible Georgia speaker. TO
save the children from dependence upon
the State government. Self-rcliance is
the great lesson of life, and 1t Is the
lesson of paramount Importance 10 DC
taught the children Of the United states.
IF our children are taught In the PUBIC
school to look to the government for
support, If they are taught to despise
parental authority, II they are brought
ND as mere wards Of the nation or OF
the State, 1t will not be long before we
shall have a nation of scrfs with autocrats
to rule over them, and the last vestige OF
American Democracy will have disap-
pcared.
God save the children Of the State from
vassalage! Better nation OF ignorant
Democrats with the independence and
manhood for which we as a people are
proverbal, than nation Of educated
pulings and dependents.
