THE EDUCATIONAL MOVEMENT.

The work of the Cooperative
Education Commission for State
wide campaign in May is striking
a responsive chord all over Vir-
ginia. Thoughtful men are begin
ming to see clearly that the most
vital interest of the Commonwealth
centers In the common school. and
it is not surprising that a concert
ed movement for the strengthening
of an institution so pregnant with
vast possibilities should enlist the
sympathy and enthusiastic support
of all who love their State.
This cOntemplates at least one
all-day meeting in every County,
with a good dinner on the ground
for all the people. A large number
of the States ablest speakers have
been asked to take part, and the
replies have been numerous and
favorable. The foremost educa-
tors and speakers in Virginia have
expressed themselves as heartily
in accord with the movement, and
a large list of speakers has been
already secured.
The entire cost of the campaign
will be provided for by subscrip-
tons from public-spirited Virgin
ians. Mr.. Thomas Branch Me
Adams, of Richmond, is chairman
of the Finance Committee, and the
work is making fine progress.

Real Value of College Eauca,,on

We are apt to overestimate the value
OF an education received from books
alone. A large part Of the value of a
college education comes from the social
intercourse of the students, the re-en-
forcement, the buttressing of character,
by association. Their faculties are
sharpened and polished by the attri-
ton Of mind with mind and the pitting
or brain against brain, which stimulate
ambition. brighten the ideals and open
up new hopes and possibilities. Book
knowledge is valuable, but the knowl-
edge which comes from mind inter
course is invaluable.-O. S. Marden in
Success Magazine.

RrefutlfCe

The word prejudice comes from
two Latin words. pro or pre-" be-
forehand. and 'judico." judge. There
fore prejudice" means the forming OF
an opinion beforehand or before knowl-
edge. To form an opinion or declare a
Judgment concerning any subject with
out or ignoring knowledge is ''preju-
dice" An opinion formed after a life
long acquaintance and experience and
after thorough investigation and study
may be erroneous. but cannot properly
be styled prejudice" When the teach
ing and experiences OF the world are
disregarded. when the facts OF history
and science are ignored or denied. the
conclusions or opinions thus arrived ut
must not only be mistaken. but they
must be the result OF prejudice

THIRTY SEYEN YEARS.

With this issue the COURIER be-
gins its thirty seventh volume.
The paper has become during the
past thirty-seven years one of the
substantial and lasting landmarks
in the history of Clarke county.
Naturally 75 per cent Ofits read
ers are residents of Clarke county,
but by glance at our mailing list
we find that several hundred regu-
lar subscribers are scattered over
the United States. Canada and
Mexico. One paper goes every
week to Spain, one to the island of
Jamaica, one to the Isthmus of
Panama. Every week we pay
postage on thirty-four pounds of
COURrERs, and as forty pounds
represents five hundred papers. it
can be readily seen that more than
four hundred of our readers live
outside of Clarke. Under the gen
erous acts of Congress, all papers
mailed to readers in the county of
publication are allowed to 60 free
of charge.
The COURIER has now the largest
bona fide circulation of any news
paper published on the line of the
Norfolk & Western railway be-
tween Hagerstown and Roanoke,
with less than twenty subscribers
in arrears.
Every day we are adding new
names. Our increase for 1904
over 1908 was more than 30 per
cent.
The COURIER has always been
essentially a County Newspaper.
The near location of large daily
newspapers, and the excellent mail
facilities, have placed the daily
papers in the hands of thousands
of readers in this section, and the
day of the weekly paper as a
national news dispenser has long
since passed away.
But TO the residents of the
County, and TO those former resi-
dents who have moved to other
States, the COURIER is always a
welcome visitor, is looked for with
pleasure, and its failure to appear
Is productive of generous anger.
We have today on our books
several readers who have not miss
ed an issue since its first. Some
time ago one of our subscribers
MIR. Ditfenderfer. now dead told
the editor that he had every copy
of the COURIER since its first issue
with the exception of one, which
his dear wife had accidently de-
stroyed.
That Is the spirit in which the
COURIER is received by its readers.
As an advertising medium its
high standing among the people
who read it, and its continued in
crease of circulation, have made it
one Of the most valuable in Vir-
ginia. Our increase of advertising
patronage in 1904 over 1903 was
nearly 90 per cent. In this con-
nection we might remark that we
make it an invariable rule to in
vestlgate every advertiser before
his matter is accepted for publica-
ton. If we have the slightest
doubt that he will not meet his
promises to the letter, his adver-
tsement is refused. We feel per-
sonally responsible for the state
ments made by advertisers. and
absolutely guarantee every state
ment made by any advertisement
IN our columns.
For the patronage and generous
support of the past, we feel very
grateful, and trust that we will!
merit continuance of the same.
