The Commercial Building and
Loan Association.

Editor of The Times Dispatch:
In this season of graft and investiga-
ton there are some things even in dear
old Richmond that many poor working
people would like very much to have
looked into. and chief among them is
an institution that aourished several
years ago, known sadly. sadly to many)
as "The Commercial Building and Loan
Association. with a capital OF one mil
lion dollars.
This institution was launched on the
public with the names of many OF our
prominent citizens as directors. which, OF
course, gave 1t dignity and n place ~ the
confidence of the people, as was attested
by the way in which the people dumped
their hnrd-enrned dollars into It,
1t appeared to be doing Il fourisisHs
business, and its capital was Increased 10
twenty million dollars.
And in the midst of the most prosperous
season the country has ever enjoyed u

receivers. This was about four years
ago; since that time we have received
only two small dividends, which would
not amount to more than per cent. on
our money. Nothing has been heard
from 1t now for about two years.
We have never had any statement as
to what we may expect from this insti-
tuition Any light that you may be able

Editor OF The Times-D Dispatch:
Sir.--A measure Is now before the Gen.
William and Mary College to the State
Tor the purpose of making Ii a normal
school for the training OF male teachers,
with the understanding that the collegiate
departments in full force are to be re-
tanned.
VIII this be wiser
Tha, the State of Virginia needs more
and better male teachers for her schools
training these teachers is needed I,
equally evident. But liz II not true that
the State would defeat it's own purpose liz
this by adopting the measure as II
stands?
IL the collegiate department is retained
the collegiate department will continue
TO be the main feature OF the school. The
professors. very naturally. will prefer
the collegiate to the normal work. Thit
will mean. however much the school may
seek to guard against il, that the best
men will land in the chairs OF the coll
leglate department: and the best
giate department; or II the professor
have oversight OF work In both depart
ments-aad for this few men have giits
and training-they themselves will do the
the normal work. The result whereof will
be that the students will choose and
carry the collegiate and not the norma
work-and teachers Will not be trained.
Whereas. IL the school becomes out
and out normal school. the purposes
the State has in view will be met-teach-
ers will be trained.
The State Female Normal at Farmvlllt
furnishes. am told an instructive
lesson. Having run certain courses In
Institute work IL has In recent years
seen the necessity of devotng itself eX-
clusively to the work of training teach
ers, with results most gratifying and
suggestive.
The demand for trained teachers in
Virginia is urgent-all the more so in
view OF the educational work which the
State has set herself to do. Additional
normal schools for the training of women
teachers will be established mt an early
duy. All will be for the one purpose OF
training teachers. TO do otherwise with
the one school to which the State would
look for the larger number of her. male
teachers-would this DO wiseI on ano

cannot make another day. They will be
obliged either to decline the business or
to increase their facilities The argu-
Inent of the railroad presidents leads
logically and directly to the conclusion
that whenever any man or any coropora-
tion Gun run plant seven days In the
week with profit, that the Sunday law
should yield to the. opportunity to make
money The question Is the old one,
Which is moro Important, money or man
hood? The railroads say money. The
law OF God and the law of the State OF
Virginia say manhood.
The writer does not believe that the
people of the State OF Virginia are will
ing to give to the railroads the legal right
to run any kind OF trains and any number
of trains that the railroad officials may
have already done much to break down
respect for the Sabbath. Their Sunday
excursions are very damaging TO the
morals of our people. especially of the
demand simply means that they want to

want to use their track and their roll
ing stock. all their capital to the utmost
limit, that they may make more money
This issue has been squnrely made by
the railroads, and the people of Virginia
should write to their representatives In
the General Assembly and tell Them wat
they want them to do. The railroads
wish to take the matter away from the
General Assembly and put II In the hands
of the State Corporation Commission.
This ought not to be done. Let the great
principle be settled by the General AS
sembly and give to the State Corporation
Commission the right to suspend the
operation of the law. II n great emergency
like the anthracite coal strike should
arise. Let us maintain in Virginia our
respect for the law of God. which has as
its basis the welfare of mankind. And
while we allow deeds of mercy and neces-
sity to be done on the Sabbath day, let
us refuse to allow the railroad COM
panics and the coal operators TO break
down our law In order that they may
increase their dividends. This matter
effects every section of tho State, and the
issue which the railroads have made
should be promptly answered by the peo-
pie of Virginia with no uncertain sound.
