An Appeal.


To the People of Virginia:
| am an old man, have weak
eyes, equity fingers, no amanuen-
sis, and see nobody who is well in
formed about educational matters,
but Judging by the little | have
seen and heard | must regard the
operations of the Cooperative
Education Commission of Virginia
as highly patriotic and beneficial.
The fact that it is a purely vol
untary organization, without au-
thority and without public money,
should commend it all the more to
the friends Of education, and per-
haps especially TO school officers.
who are required 10y law TO do ex-
actly the sort of work the Commits
sion 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 i'm 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 educat-
ing 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 and female, deserve
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 schools: because the coun-
try schools have the greatest diff
culties. 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 education
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 peoplel Who ought
to bring them outi The answer Is
easy.
