THE FARMyILLEs NORMAL.

Those who saw the great gathering OF
teachers at the University OF Virginia
last summer were somewhat startled to
observe that moro than nine-tenths Of
them were women. The spectacle was
most impressive. 1t demonstrated, If
demonstration were necessary, that the
children OF Virginia are being educated
by women.
For our part, we count It fortunate that
this Is true. Women are by nature better
tea cheers than men. But we insist that
the women who train the children must
have all the advantages Of training them
selves for their work that tho State can
reasonably afford. There are several
State institutions for training men IN
Guiding the University; there Is one State
| institution for training women, and that
has the pltiful annuity Of sis, 900. THIS IS q
reproach to the Comm onwealth Women
are not permitted to attend lectures at
the University. The citizen who has sew
cral daughters Is taxed to support the
University, but lie can have mono OF It's
advantages for his children, While MS
EclEADor, Whose ciiAioi GU S'h'.N4 u II I, 4
boys, may send them to this noble 3insti-
tuition without paying cent Of tuition
Tho only public training school open 70
the Girls is the Farmville Normal, and
that school is to the University as pau
per to prince, SO far as equipment and
general facilities are concerned.
or course, we do not mean that the ap-
preparation to the University Is too large.
we would that 1t were twice and three
times greater than!it Is, but We insist tina
the beggarly allowance to the Normal
School is far too small and 1t should be
increased, even II some other appropriaal'-
lions have TO be cut.
The Normal School has not had fair
chance 1t has been treated with poor
consid era ton; yet we believe there IS no
institution in the State that Is doing more
for the cause OF popular education, It Is
training the women who are to train our
children. and 1t Is not able to supply the
demand for teachers. Wherever Its grad
mites have gone they have carried en-
,irhtenment and aroused sentiment and
huIlt up good schools. Our information
is that there Is never complaint on inc
score Of attendance where thore is a Nor
mai School graduate in charge OF the
school. Let lis do full Justice by this
noble institution. 1t deserves the lpern
and bountlful support OF the state. we
simply cannot afford to stint IT.
