No movement more far-reaching In Its
Significance, or richer n It's promise has
ever engaged the thought OF the virginia
people than the great educational awak-
ening Of the last few years.
In the suddenness Of its coming, and
the sweep Of its progress, this movement yl
falls easily within the range of the pl,e-
nomenal. Three years $50 scarcely any
one gave serious thought to educational
conditions. Public schools were rarely
the subject OF comment. and when they
we're spoken OF at all, the terms employed
were most apt to be Terms of pity or
contempt. Now all Is changed. The
people are practically Of one mind as to
