ROCKBRIDGE EDUCATION
ASSOCIATION

This ASSOCIATION was organized q
wear ago, under the auspices OF
the Virginia Cooperative Educa-
ton Commission, for the purpose
of arousing the citizens OF this
county to greater interest in
education and in the needs OF our
schools. The association has held
q number of rallies in the several
sections of the county with very
encouraging results. Education
rests on an enlightened public
opinion. No progress in universal
education can be made without
the support of the people. The
maintenance of schools is one OF
the heaviest items of expenditure
in the modern State and the peo-
ple must have an abiding faith in
the force and power of education
before they will vote the necessary
taxes. But the mere voting OF
taxes is not enough. The money
will not be judiciously spent I'M
less the people take an intelligent
interest in the schools. The prob
lem is no longer whether we are to
have schools for all the people or
not, but what kind of schools we
are to have and what sort Of train
ing we are to offer.
All thinking men must believe in
thu power OF education OF the
right kind. We in Virginia are
just beginning to realize the full
seriousness of the situation that
confronts us. We are beginning
to see that our slow industrial Fro
g.ess is due to lack of education
and training. We have in this
State more than 90, 900 white, and
more than 200, 600 colored illite-
rates over ten years Of age. This
illiterate population opposes
tremendous barrier to the economic
development of the State. Educa-
ton pays. 1t is the best of all in
vestments for the State as well as
for the individual. In the work
of educational reform and up
building we need the earnest and
cordial support of every intelligent
citizen, man and woman.
The annual meeting OF the Rock
bridge Education Association will
be held in the Court House on
Saturday, May 18th. at ~ noon.
There will be general discussion
Of the conditions existing in this
county and of the plans of the as
ISOLATION for the coming year.
All persons interested in the sub
iect of education are urged to at
tend this meeting.

Mr.. Swanson for Single School
Book List

Mr.. Swanson for Single School
Book List
The reports q the speeches OF Con.
gresham Claude A. Swanson In
vario1s parts Of the State, have given
brief references to his position on the
school book question, but no complete
statement of his views and opinions
thereon had been made public. Mr..
Swanson last Saturday dictated the
following statement. As defining his
position on the subject.
II have received many inquiries ask.
ing me to state my position upon the
school book question, should be
elected Governor OF Virginia and thus
become member OF the State Board
Of Education, which has control OF
this matter.
II desire to state to the voters OF
Virginia that my experience both
as q pgpil and as a teacher Ia the
public sehp els 81 the State, has con-
vinced me that. as an Original PROPOSE
tion, the single list is preferable.
The adoption OF such a list gives
uniformity in the text books through
out the State. and hence, when
pupils go from one district to another
or from one county or city to another,
they are not forced to the necessity
Of purchasing new books, but can
always use those In their possession.
"Agsi4 the single list will result ia
saving to the people Of Virginia a
vast sum OF money IN the purchase
Of books, as 1t is conceded hst books
under the single list can bs furnished
much more cheaply.
"These considerations speak strong
ly Ia behalf OF single list. But q
sudden adoption of single list under
conditions now existing In Virginia
would discontinue the uss OF large
number Of books at present ussd and
paid for by the people. ! do not
favor sudden ard radical changes Of
books with the Inconvenience, losses
and annoyances incident thereto.
- you'd favor, as member OF the
State Board q Education, reaching
a single list ss soop est car be done
without entaiiing such loss, moon,
venience and annoyance,
II desire further to say that II 4
should be elected Governor and be-
come a member OF the State Board OF
Education. would assume It's duties
absolutely free and untrammelled, and
with no purpose except to get the

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee Buried with
Imposing Ceremonies

Imuosing Ceremonies
Fifty thousand people stood in
silence and with barred heads along
the streets of Richmond last
Thursday afternoon while the
remains of General Fitzhugh Lee
were borne slowly from st. Paul's
Church to his grave beside that of
Jefferson Davis in Hollywood.
Deep-toned bells tolled mournful-
ly as the solemn procession wound
it's way through the streets, and
the guns of the Howitzer Battalion
from time to time roared their
salute to the glorious memory of
Virginia's greatest cavalryman.
On caisson draped in deepest
mourning the body of the soldier
of three wars was borne to the
grave. Before it marched the
band of the. Richmond Light In
fantry Blues, filing the air with
the martial, mournful strains of
the funeral march composed in
his honor.
Behind the caisson walked
riderless steed, black-draped with
reversed cavalry boots in the
stirrups and a sabre suspended
from the cartle of the saddle.
The procession stretched more
than two miles, and the shades of
night were beginning to fall ere the
last honors had been paid the
hero's dead and the guns had
doomed farewell across the new
made grave.
In st. Paul's Church the scene
was an impressive one as the
beautiful Episcopal services for
the dead was conducted and
familiar hymns were sung.
The casket was concealed by
a profusion of floral gems, con-
spicuous among the being a great
wreath of white. composed of
Easter lilies, white roses, sweet
peas and smilax. 1t was sent by
the Veteran Cavalry Association,
Army of Northern Virginia.
Beside the cssket was a Con-
federate battefag skilfully wrought
in flowers, and at the head was a
large silken Confederate banner
encircled by floral designs, chief
Of which Yves of the city of Rich
mond, containing five hundred
American Beauty roses. A large
wreath of roses lay on top the
casket. 1t was sent by General
Lees daughter, Mrs. Ann Fitzhugh
Brown, now on the water with her
soldier husband bound for the
Philippines. BY her request it was
buried in the grave with her
father.
The funeral services were held
in st. Paui's Episcopal church
and were conducted by Right
Rev. A. NJ Randolph, Bishop of
the Southern Virginia Diocese,
assisted by the Rev. Beverly
Tucker, rector Of st. Paul's,
Norfolk; the Rev. London R.
rector of Grace Church,
this city, snd the Re-. f. E.
acting rector of St.
Paul's. The floral tributes banked
about the casket were prOfuse ard
came from all lover the country.
At the cemetery the cOmmital
service was read by Bishop Ran
iolph, the body was lowered into
the grave. three infantry volleys
we're fred. taps were SOUNDED and
4 salute OF seventeen guns was
fred by the Richmond Howitzers
from a neighboring height oyer
cooking the historic James river.

Judge Mann Opened Campaign
In LynchburQ


Judge William Hodges Mann, one OF
the three candidates for the guberna.
torial nomination in the impending
Democratic primary, opened his cam
paign in Lynchburg last Friday night
In the Acadamy OF Music before al
audience numbering fully 900 persons.
He spoke for an hour and fifteen min
utes and confined his address chiefly to
the public school question, good
roads, State finances, and the Mann
bill. Probably half what he said was
relative to the bill Of which he was
the patron.
He said he desired to touch briefly
upon the important issues before the
people, and he quickly got down to
the meat Of his address.
Touching upon the public school
question, he said there we're over 7OO,-
900 children in the State to be educat-
ed and brought up to be useful men
and women for life, and when one
deals with this question, 1t should be
met as a father and mother would
meet it. recognizing it as the highest
responsibility God has placed upon
them.
On the question of good roads, ne
said the same financial difficulties
mnst be faced as in the school question
He showed that the $4,000, 600 OF ex-
traordinary appropriation made re-
Gently by the General Assembly will
have been paid by next year; the re
venues OF the State will then be in a
position to be diverted, some oft, for
good roads. He favored the establish
ment OF a good roads department,
to study the question Of roads in
the various portions Of the State and
give expert opinion as to the character
Of improvements needed.
In taking up the discussion OF the
Mann law, he stated that he had al
ways voted the Democratic ticket and
had never cast a Prohibition ballot.
II have always and intend always
to make the temper ance fights inside
of the Democratic party. 1t must be
a Democratic fight, but / am willing
to make 1t as warm as the family will
permit, and when am licked I will
stop just as | do when my wife lays
down the law to me at home"
In conclusion he said: 1--WE are
teaching in the schools the effect OF
alcohol on the human system, and at
the same time placing temptation
right where the boys are to be tempted
to do what VIC teach them to be
wrong. Has not the time come for
actiong have risked my political life
to stand up for the purity of Virginia
homes, and still want to use my IN
fiuence to make them purer.
" | know in consequence of the bill
that 1852 saloons have been closed;
crime has decreased, and the women
of the State have been able to go
where they please with safety, with
out having to carry pistols to protect
themselves. feel proud Of a history
like that. and ] want to ask you what
you are going to do for the futures
Haven't we the right to struggle for
our boys and girls9 As they grow up,
il we can keep temptltion from them
for ten years, this question will be set
tied forever.
