THE AGE AT WHICH A CHILD
SHOULD ENTER SCHOOL.

At the recent annual meeting
in Columbia of superintendent o.
GRADED schools, Superintendent
Edmunds, cf the Sumter schools.
submitted a very interesting pa
per, since published in the News
and Courier, on the subject OF
the age at which a child should
he admitted into school. Mr..
Edmunds ranks among the lead
ing educators of the state and his
opinion relative to school matters
is entitled to much weight.
In the article referred to Mr..
Edmonds takes the ground that a
child is too young to enter school
at six years of age, that time will
be saved and better results oh
tanned by waiting until it is eigh'
years old. He says:
Gas the conditions now exist
our pupils enter at six and com.
pleLe lna fnll course prescribed
in our schools at seventeen. |
believe that, if the pupils should
enter at eight, they could COM
plete the course in nine instead
of eleven years. l believe that
the work that it now takes two
years to do the first grade could
be as thoroughly completed in
one year and another year would
be made up between the second
and sixth grades. Thus a pupil
entering at eight would do in five
years the same amount OF work
as is now done in seven years"
Continuing, Mr., Edmunds dis
cusses the objections TO a child's
entering school at the tender Q
OF Elk, as viewed from a physical
standpoint. From six to seven,
he says, children have reached
one of the most critical periods
OF their lives. At the age Of six
children are in a condition OF
nervous restlessness resulting
from the cutting of their perman.
ent teeth, and while in that 0
dition Mr.. Edmunds does not
think that they should be con-
fined in the school room, but
should be allowed every oppor-
tunity for obtaining plenty OF
outdoor exercise, sunshine and
fresh air.
As to the effect upon the child
of changing the school age from
6 to 8 Mr.. Edmunds says:
"Will a child be the loser by
these two years of what some
may term enforced idleness?
First let us deny the truth of the
term, "enforced idleness." The
child will not be, idle and there
Is no force applied.
Nature, the kind old nurse,
has simply been allowed for two
more years to take the child
upon her knee and the lessons
she will teach; the bone, sinew

WHAT SURE ENOUGH.

A meeting was held in Southwest
Virginia, called by Governor Swanson.
for the purpose of arranging for an ex-
hibit of Virginia's mineral resources at
the jamestown Exposition. This means
much to that section, but at the risk of
being called tiresome, we venture to
inquire once more, what are the people
of Eastern Virginia, and especially Ac-
comac, going to do about it? AS the
Free Lance submits the query: care
we going to sit quietly and let our more
progressive Western counties reap ali
the benefits from the Exposition, or
are we going to bestir ourselves, pre-
pare an exhibit of our products and re-
sources, and with this exhibit attract
to our territory desirable settlers?" So
far as Accomac is concerned it is ND to
our Board of Supervisors and Produce
Exchange to answer, and there ought
to be wisdom enough in one of these
bodies to see that it is important that
we have an exhibit at the Exposition.

eloquent speech introduced DIR. ]. VIM.

county by his grandson, R. E. Lee, jr.
DIR. Jones' speech was worthy of the
occasion and the man.
Following DR.. Jones' speech came
the acceptance of the portrait on the
part of the camp and county by Judge
I. r. B. Wright, of Essex, C. C.
Baker introduced the donator of the
portrait, Col. r. e. Lee, jr., of Fair

After fine dinner the crowd listened
to an grafton by Gov. Swanson, who
was introduced by Hon. George Mason.
The Governor showed his grasp of
facts, figures and the spirit of his
theme, and handled it in happy style.
This was the Governors first visit to
Westmoreland, and the patriotism of
the people broke forth in an ovation to
the brilliant Executive. Following
came a speech from Major Robert w.
Hunter. Between the addresses beau
tiful and appropriate songs and airs
were rendered by the Montross choir,
under Professor E. F. Porter, and by
the Newiand string band. The court
house, monument and stand were deco
rated in Confederate colors.

CUBA PROBABLY TO BE OURS.

President Palma has resigned and U.

proclaimed provisional governor of Cuba.
President Roosevelt has sent 5000
troops, number of warships and
marines to the Island. Already a clash
has taken place between u. S. troops
and the insurgents. More troops and
warships are mobilizing in the vicinity
of Hampton Roads, Va.
The intention of this government is
not as yet known-whether we will
restore order and turn the government
back to the Cubans, or whether the
Island will be annexed to the United
States. Business interests there and
here are clamoring for annexation, but
probably more than half of the Cuban
people are opposed to the move.
