WILLIE, VA, Oct. 22.---The full meeting
OF the Virginia League took place In the
Assembly Hall, Thursday morning. Octo-
Der H., at 9 O'clock NJ IS Virginia Rey-
nolds presiding. There was avery lafge
attendance and fifty new names were ad y
ded to the,r6ll. The growth OF the league,
both In numbers and In usefulness, since
is organization by DR.. Robert Frazer IN
1899, has been most gratifying. "a
Any person connected with the adminis-
tration, the faculty, the Society Of Alum
nae, or the student body, may become
regular member by the payment Of one
dollar year. Upon the payment OF the
same amount, any other person IN sym
patty with5tlle purpose Of the league may
become m associate member. 3sS
The objects OF this association are: ITO
found and mainta n. by means of con-
tributions, annual dues, and otherwise. an
aid fund for helping those who re unable
to attend the school: to conduct an edu-
cation bureau as a means of free COM
mupicaton between trained teachers and
school officials who desire the best teach-5
ers for their schools: and to promote, by.
whatever lawful means IT may. the In
fuence and usefulness Of tho State Ee-
male Normal School.
Ten young ladies have received loans
from the aid fund; some OF these loans
have already been, and others are being
paid back without interest, at the con-
venience OF the beneficiaries after. secur-
Ing positions to teach The league has
had this fall, twice as, many requests FOR
help as can be granted. and has therefore
determined to make mighty effort to
Increase the fund by enlarging the mem
bershp.
There are few places perhaps, where
moro faithful and steady work Is done
than at the Normal School. Reaxa ton
in occasional social pleasures, therefore,
is needed and welcomed. "october's bright
blue weather" has. no doubt. been respon-
sible for ansunusual number OF such de-
lightful occasions.
