TIE TInEWATER NORMAL

In considering a location Tor the
Tidewater Normal School. i'm the
event the Legislature decides to Is
tablish one. there are things which
should enter into such consideration
other than the amount OF money
which this or that city is willing to
subscribe. We're the money conSld-
Grafton the only one in selecting sites
for State institutions the smaller
cities of the Commonwealth could
never hope to secure any public ia
stitution. for the simple reason that
the larger and more wealthy munich
palities would always be in posi-
ton to outbid them. This very
question is likely to confront the
members of the House and Senate
when it comes TO locating the pro-
posed normal Norfolk city, through
its representative, Senator Sale has
made what we cheeriully concede to
be liberal bid for this school. more
liberal than this city or any other
smaller onein this section could ever
hone TO make. but We do not feel
that the Legislature is going To- put
the normal up at public auction to
the highest bidder. Such a course
would be. in our opinion, most I'M
fair in principle TO the smaller
towns of this State. which it should
be the policy of the Legislature to
foster and encourage. and would IN
the end result in harm, rather than
benefit. to the State at large. Nor
folk city, with its vast business IN
terests. does not need the normal
school one-half as much rs Freder-
icksburg. which has never received
recognition OF any sort, shape or
description from a Virginia Leglsla-
ture. and while this city through no
fault OF hers, Is unable to offer the
monetary inducements offered by
Norfolk. it can offer many advan-
tages not possessed by the latter
city. As we have before stated,
Fredericksburg suffered as much II
not more, during the Civil war than
any other city in the State and she
deserves some State recognition IN
the shape OF a public institution.
Conveniently located. healthiul, sur
rounded by an atmosphere OF relig-
ion and refinement, this city offers to
the State a location for this school
second to none, and We confidently
believe and trust that the Legisla-
ture will not allow the money Ques-
ton alone to govern in the selection
OF a site for the proposed normal

DROVE HIM TO DESPERATION

1t is not often that the singing OF a
song will drive a man to an attempt
to commit suicide, though at times
the singing we hear is we'll calculated
TO produce that effect. Joseph Leh-

a tragedy in the Lehman home. The
head OF that household suddenly
concluded that life, with its flowers

rag time melody Of that song lie

wise a daughter Anne, to say moth

other children. so the old man bask-
ed in the sunshine and neither threat
nor entreaty would make him work.
His dear ones couldn't make him
labor, but they had revenge. From
morn till night the haunting strains
OF Everybody Works But Father
rang in his distracted ears until life
became a bed OF needles. First he
became angry, then sorrOwful, then
morose. The air was filed with
the music His wife scrubbed away,
the soapsuds dubbed gleefully and
the very washboard seemed to chant
the music OF that song. Little Bess
hummed it in his ears and the baby
adapted its wailings to the tune.
Moroseness turned to morbidity, and
Joseph purchased poison. In the
quiet of the night he swallowed poi
son, but unfeeling doctors pumped 1t
out. Nothing discouraged, he re-
covered only to steal away and
plunge into the pellueid waters OF
the Des Moines river. Again rescued
he was placed in jail and has APP
