Mr.. Egeleston's Charge.

j. ID. Eggleston, it,, superintendent
of schools of Prince Edward county, who
is a candidate for the Office Of superin.
tendent of public instruction of Virginia
to succeed DR.. j. w. Seuthall. has sent
out circular letter, portion OF which
bids fair to arouse much comment. lie
charges that there is a waste OF school
funds under that provision which makes
it the duty of the superintendent OF pub
lie instruction "to prepare suitable regis
lers, blank forms, and regulations Tor
making all reports, &c.
Mr.. Eggleston, in this connection,
specifies The Virginia school register.
This is blank book and cannot, there
fore, be copyrighted. Regarding this,
Mr.. Eggleston says
cone fully equal to the new Virginia
school register can be printed and de-
liyered into the hands of every district
clerk for s5 cents a copy. The Virginia
school register is sold to the school dis
tricts Tor rs cents a copy, {. o. b. Rich
mond, although it can he sold without re-
ducing the present profit of the printer
for considerably less than one half OF this
amount.
"No other register can be used at pres
ent in the State, as this one is an exclu-
sive and compulsory single-list adoption
at multiple list price. There are
over 5000 teachers in our public schools
each of whom must have register, and
this enormous profit on each register has
been paid out OF the district funds for at
least 6fteen or twenty years.
While Mr.. Eggleston does not make
the statement, it is fact that a large
Virginia printing concern has offered 70
supply these registers at from Is to ~
cent, apiece.
On the book question Mr. Eggleston
declares for the single system, saying .
at is oppressive on the poor, hard
ship on the average wage-earner, and an
injustice to rich and poor alike, that they
should be forcedto pay from 10 10 % pei
cent more for the same school-books thar
the people of other States"

The Lower River wharves.

The work of rebuilding Somerset
Beach wharf, on the Virginia side of the
river, about forty miles below this city,
is now going on, and in few days the
pier will once more be in good order.
The rebuilding of the other wharves
which were damaged by ice is also being
pushed and most of them will again be
in good order in week or two. Clifton
Beach, on the Maryland side of the

stretches OF the river without wharf
1t is stated that during the coming
summer wharves will be built to replace
these missing piers, and the real.
dents in that section of Maryland will
not have 80 far to travel to reach q
