ginia:
Arc you going to get married this sum-
mer? Arc you going to the ST. Louis
Exposit- on? Are you going to the School
of Methods at Charlottesville? These
three questions are agitating the minds
and hearts of a great many teachers N
Richmond as the school term draws to
close The first question Is easily an
swered by the majority, Of the
fraternity ~ in tho nmrmatIve,p "1t
ers are haltlng before deciding the
last two qucs lions. Few have been able
to save enough to combine the two. and
yet there IRE great many advantages
to be gained at both places. Virginia
has taken such a grand forward move
mcnt In the last year IN educational
lines, that our teachers feel that they
must keep in the front ranks Never
before In tho history OF Richmond, have
her teachers done such excellent work
as they have this past session. There
has been steady Improvement along all
lines. Tho add ton of the kindergartners,a

all thc-primary grades and basket making
in several of tho grammar grades, tho
grade meetings, the keen interest III ma
ture study and music. the adronnent OF
our schools with pictures and flowers,
the superb lectures given by our princi-
pals and teachers, all show the awaken
ing to higher ideals in Richmond public
school | .fe. 1t Is our aim to make tho
Richmond schools the best In all this
land.
Last summer many OF our teachers
studied in Chicago, at Howard at Colum-
bian University, Nashville and various
normals The Virginia School OF Meth
DDS was IA power. ! think every pupllo
school In Richmond had n representative
there. $500 teachers were enrolled from
all parts OF Virginia. The faculty was
excellent, and speaking for myself, ]
would take no amount of money for tho
good l derived from those six weeks. The
beauty OF visit to this school is that
you can study or rest. The scenery
about the university is so charming ana
the memories so sacred that 1t Is an ideal
place to sleep and dream: but if you
arc ambitious and want to work, you
can do a plenty OF It, The faculty was
excellent last session. but ! understand
that IT Is to be far better the coming
term.
