President Denny at the Norfolk
Educational Meeting
NORFOLK, Dec. II, 1904.

NORFOLK, Dec. II, 1904.
DEAR GAZETTE: During the past
week, Norfolk was mighty hpaorec
End entertained 10y the presenct
of many of the leading edIcato:s
Of the State. The sessions OF the
Cooperative Education Commits
sion of Virginia, on Tuesday and
Wednesday, were very interesting
and instructive to large and
representative audience Of the
friends of popular education. Our
higher institutions of learning, as
we'll as the public school system,
were ably represented, and the adj
dresses delivered by prominent
educators connected with each,
brought out the gratifying fact
that there is no antagonism or
diversity Of interest between the
private Institutions of learning
and the public school system
Hence the teachers of each are
found working heartily together
for the advancement of the cause
of general education.
Lexington, the Athens of the
Old Dominion, and her proud and
honored University, were ably
represented by President Denny,
who delivered one of the most able
and interesting addresses of h
occasion. Unfortunately his ad
dress was postponed until the
closing session of the convention.
and was the last address on the
program. Unfortunately, at least,
for many Of the leading educators
who were prevented from attend
ing the closing session, and there
fore missed rare intellectual
treat. DR.. Denny, for himself
and his university colleagues, dis
claimed any feeling of antag cnism
or any lack of interest in the
public schools Of the State, but
took the ground that the high
schools were but preparatory
training grounds for the colleges
and universities.

: .sThe Runaways,v musical extrava-
ganza, will be the attraction at the

on the production before 1t began its
career of over six months at the New

The blot of eThe Runawaysn con-
Germs an American army officer, who
was a waiter in his early days and is
now a plunger at the race track. He IS
q confirmed dyspeptic, and therefore 1t
is quite reasonable to find him the
guardian of a pretty army nurse. The
generals horse wins the Suburban, the
horse being ridden for the occasion by
the generals son, who is the black
sheep of. the family. This annoys tall
patent medicine man and short de-
tective who wanted to see another
horse win. Therefore they all leave for
an island on the Pacific ocean, face
tiousiy called the Island of Table
d'Hote.
AS soon as the general steps ashore
he is made the king of the island and
is expected to marry the Princess An

protege, Bob Gray. The general there
upon is requested to marry the six wild

This fact was set forth by the late
D. R. Locke, otherwise Petroleum W.
He said: 1.-THE absolute plainness of
Shakespeare was beautifully Illus
trated by an incident that happened to
me. When l was the editor of a coun-
try paper in Ohio there was wont to
come to my office very wealthy farm
er, whose speciality was horses He
could neither read nor write-which
was probably why he always sub
scr1bed for my paper. He was a ia
nous .horseman and loved horses as
other men loved first mortgages, and
he knew horses through and through.
One day read to Loflin-that was his
name-that description of horse in
Venus and Adonis:"
Round hoofed, short jointed, fetlocks
shag and long,
Broad breast, full eye, small head
and nostrils wide,
High crest, short ears, straight legs
and passing strong,
Thick name, thick tail, broad but
took, tender hide,
Look, what a horse should have, he did
not lack,
Save proud rider on so proud back.
Sol,' said I, what do you think of
that?
"'You kin buy a boss on that de-
scription if you didn't know one from
a dodblastid mule Who writ it?'
