fully recognize the vast import

Nothing can bring to people greater
blessings and benefits than education.
! am aware that many Of the teachers
IN the public schools of Virginia are
inadequately raid and that the terms
OF many Of the pablo schools, especi-
ally in the country districts, are too
short. Funds should be appropriated
to give such teachers fair compen-

schools. The public schools Of Viz
gina cannot be progressive and thor

experience beth as scholar and

The Hutchinson News which led the
political fight against Elk Congressman
Jerry Simpson during each campaign In
which he was a candidate, pays the fol-
lowing tribute to the departed statesman:
"The death of Jerry Simpson comes as
sad news not only to the thousands of
political supporters and friends he had IN
Kansas but to the thousands of political
opponents as well. He was dashing
leader for his own forces and he was a
hard hitter at his enemies. In his style
of oratory he had no superior and for ten
years he had the first place In Kansas,
first with his partisans from affection,
first with his antagonists from respect.
AT first his ability was belitlled and bis
success came from his affected freaklsh-
ness. But at the close his ability was
understood and his peculiarities we're
known TO be the creations of his own tai
ents and exhibited because he knew
human nature and what would attract it.
Jerry was fighter. He lived to give the
hardest blows, and yet we believe that he
only gave them from his love for the
fight and not because there was vicious
ness 10 his heart. This ability to hit so
1t hurt made him strong on the stump,
but 1t raised up for him In his own party
as well as in the opposition, enemies
that could hit back and did. He could
see the frailty or the weak place and
could make the sore spots blister-a dan
gerous accomplishment. But In his
heart he was actually kindly and sympa-
thetic, helpful and full of humanity.
During his campaigns he gave the editor
of The News the hottest shot he had.
And The News came back with all the
energy 1t possessed. But personally
there came to be pleasant and friendly
feeling that was enjoyed In the last few
years by The News man as 1t seemed to
be by the ex-Congressman.
OF all the Populist leaders Jerry Slmp.
son was the most attractive. He secured
and retained the respect of his enemies
and what higher praise can be given a
public man. All that Is mortal will be
buried but the memory of his invectiye,
sarcasm and humor will long remain as
monument to Jerry Simpson"

CLUB WOMEN AND SCHOOLS.

The criminal prosecution OF three
school teachers at Newton last week for
some what brutal whipping of pupils
In the public schools has resulted IN one
good movement In Newton. The women's
clubs there have taken the matter up and
have decided to give some attention to
the public schools of their town In the
future. It has occurred to these ladies'
and may they spread this sudden inspira-
ton Of wisdom to their sister club women
OF other towns-that after all Shakespeare,
Caedmon, Chaucer and the others may
be dropped occasionally, when matters
which are really close to their hearts and
homes demand attention. The Newton
club women, In future, will aim to keep
posted In the atfirs Of their public schools.
Ifthey persevere In this resolve the schools
of Newton will improve fifty per cent In
years time. II the club, women there
post themselves thoroughly upon the
success or failure Of each room ofthe city
schools and become thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the work and ability Of each
teacher; II they find out just how efficient
are their school officers and members Of
the school board, and use the information
towards improving the schools, the club
women will find that they have ample
power to completely remodel the schools.
For the good that II will accomplish and
the example that 1t. will set for other
towns 1t is to be hoped that the club
women Of Newton go into this work
earnestly and Systematically. With little
trouble they can visit every room in the
city schools and report conditions at their
club meetings. Their presence and sug-
gestions will not be dIspleasing to the
teachers and school officers, but will be
an encouragement for more earnest and
careful work. If the club women Of a
town determine that their public schools
shall be improved to the furthest possible
extent they will succeed 10 bringing
about that result. The attention given
the schools need not interfere with the
work Of the members as . study club,
and the matter 10 not, and need not be
considered as the particular duty Of the
women's clubs. The public schools
should be i matter Of much concern to
