Chinese Labor for the South

The Rev. DR.. J. j. Lafferty, one
of the editors Of the Baltimore and
Rich nond Christian Advocate, In
writing on the labor situation in
the South, suggests the Importation
of Chinese labOfers, He says:
There is but one report from
Europeans residing in Asia, that
a Chinaman has no peer as an en-
ployee--docile, intelligent, quick
to learn, industl ious, trustworthy.
A "Chinese servant means, in
the Orient, perfect specimen of a
valet. Admiral Dewey has one,
SO has every naval officer who is
allowed serva,.t, There are four
Hundred million Of these people.
They live on the rations of o tame
squirrel, and the wages Of dime
day. 1t is proposed to bring
them to South Africa on an APP
prentice contract of twenty years,
and then return each one to China.
Why should not 100, 600 selected
Chinese be brought to the South
for a term OF twenty years. They
are heathene, Give them this
chance to learn the true religion.
Away from their pagan temples,
associates, customs, our religion
would have better access to them.
The encircling pagan by a Chris
tiaD civilization is great lever to
lift him. He returns to China,
perhaps, a Christian. A Chinaman
is miser. He goes home "a CAPT
talist." He will bring the indu-
ence of his financial position to |
bear on his neighbors in Pekin and |
elsewhere. A genuine convert
among the Chinese sticks. China
must be converted by Chinese.
The addition Of such an amount
Of steady, patient and intelligent
labor would give the South bulge
forward. II would be n blessing
to the victims of hunger in the
East, double mercy to them. And
10 the South, it would give, if not
a solution to the "problem" of
black iaziness, 1T least a relief to
people. Johnny Wise is right.

Text Books for Pubic Schools
AdODted

The State Board Of Education,
which met in Richmond last week,
completed its work Thursday
night Of making up its multiple
list of text books for use in the
public schools Of Virginia for the
ensuing four years. These lists
will be submitted to committees in
counties and cities, consisting of
the superint 5ndent Of schools, three
members of school boards and
three teachers, who will recommend
such books in the lists as, in their
Judgment, would best suit the
local conditions in their respective
divisions.
In selecting these books the
State does so at contract price,
which, though not given out
for publication at this time, will
govern all sale of books by station
ers aad school book dealers in the
State. They are what is common
ly known as State contract prices
and are as low as possible, owing to
the sharp competition. While
nearly all the competitors get a
share of the awards, it is but
natural that the Southern publish
ing houses and especially the B.
F. Johnson Company of Richmond,
should have been given liberal
share, on the IL erits of the text
books they offer and the prices
thereon, as well as on the fact that
their publications are fruits of
home talent and works of Southern
scholars and authors.
According to the arrangement
adopted, the Department of Public
was authorized to
divide the State into five compact
districts, and to give to the coun-
ties and cities in each district one
week in which to hold their meet
ngs and make their recommended
ions to the State Board of Educa-
ion. This will enable all the COM
oeting publishers whose books
ire on the State multiple list to
the local textbook cCms
nittees and lay before them the
merits of their respective publica-
ions. The meetings Of the local
ext-book committees will thus be
made to extend through five
weeks.
Rockbrldge is put in the third
strict, and the committees are ,
authorized to meet from the 25th t
o the 3Oth of April, inclusive. J
'he committee for Rockbridge is !
of the following: Coun- :
Y Superintendent A. Nash Johns g
on, Messrs. G. W, Eilinger. d. C. {
and f. c. McClung, a
Iustees, and Mrs. NJ. s. Mofett, :

STRIKE AT NEPOTISM IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The new school laws that ar,
now being promulgated by tn
State Department for the beneti
of County Superintendent ant
Boards of Education Throughout
the Commonwealth, are causing
mild sensations in many quarters
Recent legislative enactments as t(
the administration of the schoo
system will result in many radical
changes. One important provision
is that the term of every school
trustee in the State will expire on
Nav lst instead of on August LIST,
as formerly.
Elections to fill these vacancies
will have to be held all over Vir-
ginia, and herein many changes
will occur. The school trustees
will be elected by School Electoral
Board, which under the new law
Is composed of the Commemorative
attorney, a resident qualified voter
who is not county or State officer,
and the superintendent of schools,
who is ex-0fficio chairman of the
board. Until February !, 1904,
the board consisted of the county
Judge, the Commemorative attOr-
ney and the superintendent of
schools.
One of tie notable provisions III
the appointment of teachers is that
ono district school board shall en-
ploy or pay any teacher from the
public school fund if said teacher
is the brother, sister, wife, son or
daughter of any member OF said
board The enforcement of this
provision is expected to be far
reaching, and will be a direct blow
to nepotism. An officer OF the
State Department expressed him
self thus in regard to it: cit will
practically decimate the district
boards in number of counties"
Another change is the reduction
in pay to the county treasurers for
handling the school funds, which
the last Virginia school report
shows to be greater than that ie-
ceived by the county superinten-
denis for administering the school
system. The aggregate salaries
paid to the superintendent amount
ed to SAT, 100, and the aggregate
commissions to treasurers were
$50, 446. The treasurers formerl y I
got two per cent, which is now re- {
duced to not exceeding one per {
cent, to be fixed by the county Z
school board. y
