School Books an Issue.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 10TH The
school. book question is expected to
play an important part 10 the con-
test not only for the office OF Super.
intendent OF Public Instruction, but
for Senator and Governor.
The State School Board some time
ago, In arranging for the adoption OF
new books for the public schools,pro-
vided the multiple list-tbat 10, In
dorsAd a number OF books, any OF
which the local boards were empow'
cred to select. This, 1t Is claimed,
has resulted In state Of confusion,
in efforts on the part OF the big book
concerns to control the local boards
and In an increase of cost to the pat
rons of the schools. All this, 1t is as :
serted, would have been avoided had
the single list been adopted.
Governor Montague is said to have
been the only member of the board
who favored the single list. 1t was
his desire to have plan adopted by
which school patrons would be able
to secure good books for their child
rem at the lowest cost.
Mr. j. d. EgglestoD, Jr., Superin.
tendent Of Schools OF Prince Edward
county, takes the same position as
does the Governor. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Willard is said to be 'single-
listn man. The views OF Sen"tor
Martin, Congressman Swanson and
Judge Mann have not yet been AL
nOunced.

Virginia VIII Have Large Crowd at
The Inauguration.

1t is now apparent that the Vir
ginia military display at the inaugu,
ration will be not only the largest
from the southern states, but will
rank next to those OF New York and
Pennsylvania, eclipsing that OF Mary
land. There will be in line, following
Governor Montague, TWEEN y four
commands, aggrega ing 1900 men or
more. 1t is probable that the four
companies OF the SEVENTEEN regi-
ment, the four unattached companies,
the Richmond Blues, the Norfolk
Light Artillery Blues and Grimes
Battery will be organized into a regi-
ment, giving Virginia q brigade un'
der command of Colonel Higgins.
Governor Montague, who will be
mounted, will wear Prince Albert
coat and high hat and will not be at
tired In uniform, as some peopIe
seem to believe, no provision being
made for uniforms for governors.

The prospects of an appropriation
for the jamestown Exposition at the
present session of Congress are far from
fattering but the advocates of it are
still hopeful of accomplishing some
thing in that direction through Speaker
Cannon, by whose autocratic ruling a
hearing SO far has been prevented in
the House. Another conference is to
be held with him and the bill is to be
80 modified as to meet his views and at
the same time be satisfactory to the
friends of the Exposition. This leads
them to hope that the bill will be taken
up and passed by the House, and will
get through the Senate this session.

A resolution introduced into Con-
gress by Mr.. Lamb, of Virginia, to re-
turn captured Confederate battletiags,
has been adopted by the House and
will, it is stated, pass the Senate. 1t
was adopted too not only without a
dissenting vote but amid applause by
representatives from every section OF
the Union. The Crumpackers and
other bloody shirt waivers even did not
object, and the return Of the flags may
mean that the last rent in the bloody
chssm" has at last been filled. 1t does
mean, at least, as the News-leader
says, that we are not now regarded as
a conquered province as the fanatics OF
the years Immediately following the
Civil war would have had US, but that
we are accepted as in and of the Union,
equal participants in its work and
glory, and that the spirit which
grudged us our love and reverence for
our heroic dead and our lost cause has
vanished forever"

SATURDAY, February 25, 1905.

An article under the head, "Educs-
tional Mass-Meetings in May" written
expressly for publication in the news
papers Of this county, appears in
another column. Explaining as 1t
does the work of the Educational Com
mission In the interest Of the country
schools Of the State, we cannot too
heartily approve the article or too
earnestly commend it to the careful
perusal of our readers; and no one can
read it, who realizes what better
schools mean to us, without endors-
ing the MAY Campaign" for their i'm
provement.
The necessity for their improvement
is so apparent that but few can be SO
obtuse as not to see it. The education
of most Of the children of the county
will begin and end in the public
schools and their parents or wards can
hardly fail to realize the Importance OF
better schools to them. To those who
desire higher educational advantages
for their children, there can be no
question that it is to their interest to
have public schools of such high grade,
that the necessary preparation can be
obtained in them which will enable
their children to enter with credit
higher institutions of learning. All
having children to educate, Of course,
are interested in the improvement OF
the public schools and should favor
every movement looking to that end.
II without means, it goes without
saying, that we are interested in their
improvement, because through them
the only opportunity is presented for
the education of our children. If we
are able to provide for their education,
it is equally true, that we are interest
ed in the growth and higher develop
ment of the public schools, not only
because of the saving in expense to us
but for the reason, that through them
the only opportunity is offered to US OF
having our children educated at home
during the period of their lives when
they most need parents guidance
and instruction.
Let us, therefore, welcome the MAY
Campaign" and find in it the stimulus
which will make us wish to go forward
until we have obtained "a nine months
school for every child, a high schoo
within reasonable distance of every
child and well trained teachers TO
every school"

A citizen of Williamsburg died as
the result of drinking cider that was
"non-alcoholic but intoxicating" The
fact seems to be that it was "dOped"
with cocaine. This sort Of stuff is sold
extensively. -Virginian-Pilot.
Cider, it is reported, is favorite
beverage in some parts Of this county
and it may be the same "stuf'' that
killed a citizen in Williamsburg. If
sold, as reported, one thing is certain
that it is not "pure apple CIDER, but
a preparation. the principal ingredients
of which are poison. 1t is possible that
not a drop of it is cider but is manu-
featured by processes known to latter
day chemists. If sold in the county
an analysis of the stuff seems to be
necessary, and if found to contain
poisonous drugs, the sale of it, OF
course, should be prohibited.
