DIR. w. III. Ruffner's Appeal for
Better School

| am en- old man, have weak
eyes, equity fingers, no amanuen'
els, and see nobody who is well in
formed about educational matters,
but Judging by the little l have
seen and heard l must regard the
operations of the Cooperative
Education Commission Of Virgin
ia as highly patriotic and bene
fetal.
The fact that it il a purely
voluntary organization, without
authority and without public
money, should commend it all the
more to tie friends of education,
and perhaps especially to school
officers, who are required by law
to do exactly the sort of work the
commission is aiming to do. 1t
will be a great thing to break the
apathy of the public and the
official mind, if nothing more is
done.
Every illiberal thought should
be laid aside in view of the objects
announced for the May campaign,
and IN view of the character OF
the persons conducting it. The
objects are the best possible. The
actors belong to the educated and
education elite of the State; they
work with and for the public
school system; they work without
pay; they must love the people;
they certainly love Virginia; and
they know the power of education.
Such persons, male or female, de-
serve public confidence, and should
have the sympathy and help of
the friends of education.
The first field work, | am glad
to observe, is for the benefit of the
country school; because the coun-
try schools have the greatest diff
ficultiss, and because the strong
country children are to determine
the destiny of the State and the
destiny of every country family.
When these apostles of educa-
ton enter upon their May work let
them be attended with open eyes
and ears. They have good things
to say, and there are many good
things they can do. Who will
bring out the people2 Who ought
to bring them out2 The answer
is easy.

The Vaccination Situation Of
Absorbing Interest

The subject of compulsory vac
cination has been the all-important
theme of conversation for some
weeks past, ard the situation be-
comes more acute as the days go
by. 1t is interesting alike to those
who have been vaccinated and to
those who have not been. Those
who have passed through the or
deal think it unfair that others
have escaped, and those who have
not yet submitted view the matter
as an unnecessary attempt to en-
force a regulation whose precau-
tionary provisions have lost their
force because there seems to be no
necessity for their enforcement,
inasmuch az there are no cases of
the disease in the town, possibly
not in the county.
On the other hand, it is claimed,
truly perhaps, thot some persons
have csc aped vaccination because
of being out of the way when the
district physicians went their
rounds, and who did not make any
efforts to seek the physicians for
the purpose of being vaccinated
Another point advanced in favor
of completing the work is that it
will prove especially beneficial for
next season, when we may in all
probability expect recurrence
of the disease.
The Board of Health has fixed
Friday, April 18th, as the time
limit at which all persons shall
be vaccinated or exempted. After
this date all cases of dellnquents
will be reported to the Mayor for
action. Hereafter the people to
be vaccinated or exempted are
to seek the physicians,
and not the physicians the people.
In view Of the above time limit,
Mayor Walker has postponed hear
ing the cases set tor to-day, and
they will be heard with others
after April 18th.

Rev. DR.. Thornton Whaling re-
turned Thursday from Dallas,
Texas, where he spent two Sum-
days preaching before the con-
gregation of the First Presbyterian
church of that city, which extend
ed him call to become their
pastor. DR.. Whaling was much
pleased with his visit. He found
the congregation strong one,
and the church is one OF the
wealthiest and most desirable in
the Southern Assembly.
The Dallas church will prosecute
the call before the Presbytery
of Dallas and the Presbytery Of
Lexington. Rev. DIR. W. N. Scott
of Stanton, has been appointed to
present the matter before the Pres
bytery of Lexington. DR.. Whaling
has net yet made his decision as
to whether he will accept or not,
but the call comes so emphatically
that it is feared by his friends in
that he will accept.
After the meetings of the two
presbyteries, which will take nc
ton on the matter, he will be COM
PEELED to render decision.
This is practically the third call
by the. Dallas church. In
fact, for some years past, at every
vacancy they have desired the
services of the able and popular
pastor.
