AN UNPOPULAR MOVE.

The State Board of Education
will meet in Richmond this week
to begin the consolidation of the
school districts of the State. The
idea Is to merge some of the smaller
districts. making the place of
superintendent to pay we'll enough
TO secure first-class men.
The Board contemplates. we are
told, the consolidation of the coun-
ties of Clarke and Warren into one
district, which we think would be
a great mistake.
The proposed consolidation of
Clarke and Warren districts is I'M
popular with the Commissioner of
each County, and, so far as we are
able to discover, with everyone
else.
If the proposed consolidation
would make any Improvement in
our School System, there would be
no objection to it, but our schools
are not at present able to stand
any dubious experiments.

Work, Morals and Happiness.

Esperance Goodlove. who is
writing a series of thoughtful arti-
Giles on the personal phases of a
business woman's life. in the New
Idea Woman's Magazine. and
turning mp fresh idea or two in
each number, says, in the March
issue, that the business woman be-
longs 10 the middle class, and that
her morals are likely to be those
OF her class. 1t Is generally adj
mitted the world over. she con-
tinues, that reasonable amount
of reasonablity congenial work
tends to produce a healthy mental.
moral and physical development.
The middle class has Just this
reasonable amount. The class
above has it not. 1t is to be as
sumed that the writer considers
that the moral condition of the
class below is also threatened. but
by the excess rather than by the
lack of work. Surprising, then,
that right moral equilibrium is
the thing desirable above all others.
the thing that more than anything
else tends to give happiness to the
human race, it would appear that
instead of the social aspirations of
the working class tending toward
leiSured class, the reverse should
be the case, and the social aspera-
tons of both the highest and the
lowest classes should converge to-
ward those people of modern in
comes who live good and happy
lives in the golden mean.

While operating at fishery In Ad-
miralty island. Alaska. one summer my
attention and the attention OF the fish,
ing crew were almost daily attracted 10
a large marine creature that would mp
pear I'm the main channel OF Seymour
canal and our immediate vicinity.
There are large numbers OF whales OF
the species roruual there. and the mon
stcr seemed TO be their natural enemy.
The whales generally travel In schools.
and while at the surface TO blow one
would be singled out and attacked by
the tish. and n battle was soon I'm order.
IL Is the nature OF the rorqual TO
make three blows at intervals OF from
two TO three minutes each. and then
sound deep and stay beneath the sur
face for thirty or forty minutes. As a
whale would come to the surface there
would appear always ut the whales

eighteen inches in diameter. looking
very much like the blade OF the fan OF

The great club was used on the back
of the unfortunate whale in such a

that every whale attacked was not in

have perfect control OF its movements
and would bend Il back until the end

What seemed most remarkable TO me
was that. no matter which way the
attacked whale went or how fast (the
usual speed Is about fourteen knots.
that great club would follow right
along by it's side and deliver those tre-
mendous blows nj intervals OF about
four or five seconds. IL would always
get i'm from three TO five blows at each
OF the three times the whale would
come TO the surface to blow The
whale would generally rid itself OF the
enemy when # took its deep sound.
especially II the water was forty
fathoms or more deep. During the day
the attack was always ofshore. hut
at night the whales would be attacked
in the bay and within 400 yards OF the
fishery.
I do not know OF any whales being
killed. but there were several that had
great holes and sores on their backs.

told that there was only one. that Il
had been there Tor many years and that
it once attacked an Indian canoe and

Resolutions Of Respect.

At regular meeting of j. +. b.
Stuart Camp. held Saturday. Jan
uary p. 1905. the following reso-
buttons were reported and adopted:
God in his divine wisdom having
seen fit to send again into our
ranks his dread message OF death,
and to take from us our COmrade
and Commander, Cyrus McCor-
mick, we desire to place upon our
minutes this brief memorial of him:
Cyrus Mccormick was born in
the year 1915, in the County of
Clarke, State of Virginia The
beginning of the war between the
States found him pursuing his SAGA
dcmic studies, but the claim of his
State To his services. in the day of
Its peril, soon led him To put aside
his books and take up arms in its
defense. He enlisted i'm the Clarke
Cavalry and exhibited throughout
the war the courage. fortitude and
consistency that mark the highest
type of soldier. He was twice
wounded in battle. and suffered for
a time rs a prisoner of war in the
hands of the enemy. vt the close
of the war, having determined on
the practice of medicine for his
life'S work, inc entered the Univer-
sity OF Virginia rs 81 student and
obtained there his degree of Doctor
of Medicine. lie pursued his pro-
fcSsion until stricken by his fatal
illness. winning ready acknowl-
edgement of the possession of
great professional >killand breadth
of Information.
BY nature he was generous and
sympathetic: TO his friend, he gave
the full measure of his love: to all
he showed a kindly charity. Death
came To- him In the height of his
usefulness and i'm the full possession
of his intellectual powers. He
suffered from long and painful
illness. which he bore with patience
and chcerfulucsS.
Therefore be il resolved:
First. that wc deeply deplore the
death Of our Comrade. DIR. CYRUS
Mccormick. and that we will pre-
serve his memory as that of one
whose example Is an incentive to
good deeds.
Second, that we extend to his
family the assurance of our pro-
found and heartfelt sympathy.
Third, that this tribute be spread
on our minutes; that a copy be
sent TO his family, and that the
Editor of TIE CLARKE COURIER
be requested to publish it in the
columns of his paper.

OUR COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

Hon. W. G.. Koiner. Commits
Sioner of Agriculture, who during
the past six years has. it Is admit
ted on all sides, done more for the
agricultural interests of the State
than has been accomplished since
the establishment of the DEPART
ment. will be candidate for cleo
ton TO that Office. As far as known.
there will be no one to oppose him.
MIR. koiner having made such a
splendid record for himself since
his appointment by Governor
Tyler that it has been accepted as
the general belief that he will sue
coed himself.
Mr.. koiner Is thoroughly equip
ped for the Office Wish he now
holds. Himselfapractical farmer.
having been reared upon the farm
and followed the pillow share i'm the
days of his youth. he naturally
entertains a fellow feeling for all
tlllers of the soil, and understands
their needs and the propositions
which confront them in their daily
life. To this practical KNOWLEDGE
he has the advantage of having had
a collegiate education, being a
graduate of Roanoke College. of
which Institution he is now q
member of the Board of Trustees.
Mr.. Koiner was President of the
Virginia Commissioners to the
Worlds Fair.and is now President
of the Association of Commission
ers of Agriculture and Scientists
of the Southern States.
1t was through Mr.. Koiner's
efforts that the most important
measure ever enacted in the inter-
est of the farmers of this State.
was passed by the General Assem-
bly,. This was the tonnage ferti-
liZer law, the enactment of which
insured TO the farmers protection
in the purchase of fertilizers. on
which they annually spend nearly
four and a half million dollars.
Commissioner KOiner has carried
out this law to the letter. and =
rigid inspection of fertilizers is
conducted all over the State. and
the analyses of the brands offered
for sale as found in the Laboratory
of the Department, are published
IN bulletin form, and sent out five
times a year to thirty thousand
farmers, and the list of the latter
is constantly increasing. This law
IS saving the farmers hundreds of
thousands Of dollars every year.
Mr.. Koiner has thoroughly es-
tabllshed himselfin the good opin
ION of the farmers and enjoys their
confidence. They write him on oil
subjects pertaining to their daily
work. He is hard worker and
delights to write and talk to the
farmers on agriculture.
The Commissioner has conducted
farmers institutes in nearly every
county in the State. and these
meetings have been source Of
great benefit to the communities
IN which they have been held Mr.
koiner is forceful speaker. and
always commands the closest atten-
ton of his audiences.
In immigration work Mr.. Koiner
has been most successful, and has
located a great many Northern and
Western men in this State. No
appointment ever made to a public
oihce has given more general salts
faction than that of Mr.. Koiner TO
the Office of Commissioner of Agri-
