Adele VS.. Vincent Store

On Saturday last the Adele base
ball team went over to Vincent Store
and played two games with the local
team, Adele winning the first game
by score Of 10 TO s. and Vincent
Store capturing the evening game by
a narrow margin Of one run, the score
being IS to ID. The features Of the
first game were the battery work Of
Payne and Hunt and the field playing
Of Clark for Adele, and the playing Of
Rockwell on Bird base for Vincent
Store. The second game was devoid
Of any special features, both sides
making errors galore. The game was
characterized by squabbling from start
10 finish. Several times personal en-
counter was very narrowly averted.
Both teams a. well ~ large crowd
from all the surrounding country were
treated to a delicious, old-time Bruins
wick stew, which was thoroughly en-
joyed by all present.

played, and by a peculiar coincidence,
both resulted in favor Of Famyille
by score Of to l.

were so evenly matched, that IL in
nings were required to determine the
day. Farmville's battery was COM
posed Of Reynolds and G.. Wilkinsoni
and SuffOlks OF Revell, Clayton and
Tucker.
The features Of the game were the
pitching on both sides, and the play
ing Of Bedinger on second base. Bril-
liant playing was done, only one error
being scored against Suffolk and none
against Farmville.
Wednesday the contest was not
quite so hot, but full OF interest and
enthusiasm from start to finish. No
errors were made, and the game was
characterized by superb fielding and
pitching on both sides.

School Board Protests.

Al the annual meeting Of the Coun-
~ School Board OF Prince Edward
County held on Saturday the follow
ing action was unanimously adopted;
Whereas the State Board Of Educs-
ton has appointed five District In
spect0rs and Examiners on a salary Of
81 800 each aud expenses, we do cour-
teously but earnestly protest against
such action as unwise and extrava-
giant.
In the first place the expenditure
involved $4,000 does not seem TO Us
10 be justified by the work 70 be done
or the need 10 be met For the work
proposed 10 be done by these new Of
ficers already deyolves upon either the
Department OF Public Instruction or
the Division Superintendent and Is
being done by them II they are doing
their duty. And il they are not doing
their duty, the proper remedy would
seem 10 be TO displace them with men
who will do their work faithfully In
stead Of appointing five more men 10
assist them.
In the second place the Division
Superintendent we believe 10 be bet
ter qualified by their acquaintance
with the character and work Of the
teachers 10 grade their examination
papers than a Board Of Examiners
knowing little or nothing Of the per-
sons whose papers they are 10 grade.
In the third place, the appointment Of
Of "Inspectorsn TO examine into the
Of the superintendent and 10 report
any DEFICIENCIES or derelictions Of duty
seems TO US 10 imply an uncalled for
reflection upon noble set OF men who
are serving their country on salaries
wholly inadequate TO the amount Of
work done and responsibility borne
men too, who have been selected by
the Board OF Education AS honorable
and competent persons who will faith
fully perform their duties. III they
are not TO be trusted 10 do faithful and
intelligent service, again we say the
remedy is 10 appoint men who are
competent and faithful, at an increased
salary, instead Of sending out "Inspcc-
tors" 10 spur them up TO their duty.
In the fourth place, II seems 10 US
there il considerable danger Of friction
arising between the Division Superin-
tendents and the District Inspectors
as their several duties are not clearly
defined and differentiated.
And in the fifth place, especially do
we protest against the regulation
whereby graduates OF the State Nor
NAL Schools are granted second in
stead Of first grade certificates, thus
the excellent work being
done at these State Institutions and
discriminating most unreasonably In
favor OF private institutions Of learn
ing. Such a regulation directly dis
counts professional pedagogical train
ing and puts premium on mere
academic requirements.
