FOR BETTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Three measures alone should
make the General Assembly of
1906 a memorable one, said State
Superintendent T. ID. Eggleston,
Jr., Saturday TO a representative
of the Times-Dispatch, in answer
to the question, What did the
General Assembly do for the pub
lie schools Z"
i name them in the order of
their enactment into law" he said
IF / named them in the order of
their importance, ! should put all
three first. The first is the in
creased appropriation Of 100000
annually from the State treasury
for the primary and grammar
schools. Every cent of this will
GO to the pay of teachers. As is
known, the amount given from the
State treasury since 1891, has been
100000 a year. This amount is
now increased to 100000. This
will add 34.5 cents to the appro-
priation for each child of school
age, and, with the $50, 900 given
annually to high schools, will give
each child of school age, a little
over 43 cents additional from the
State treasury each year. The bill
for this was introduced in the
House by j. r. Cation, of AIexan-
dria, and, when it reached the
Senate, was agreed to by Senator
y. +. Thomas, of Lynchburg, and
W. +. Spessard, of Craig county.
who had introduced similar meas
ure, carrying an appropriation of
$500, 900 year.
The second measure is the high
school bin, introduced by Eugene
Ould, of Campbell county. 1t
passed both Houses unanimously.
The bill carries $4,000 year to
supplement local funds for high
schools. 1t permits any district
or districts OF any county or coun-
ties, to establish high schools, and
under certain restrictions and
standards to receive from the State
not less than $3.50 and not exceed
ing 800, to duplicate such amounts
or more raised by the district or
or contributed by private
subscription. Properly managed,
this measure will be of inestimable
advantage to our country, village
and town schools.
The appropriation is modest
one, but we hope to show great
results from It's use. 1t will give
to ambitious boys and girls an or
portunity now denied to many OF
them; will dignity a system which
needs more solidity, more dignity
and more definite aim. 1t will
strengthen every part of the sys-

these school officers should have
been paid only once in three
months, when other officials are
paid monthly or bi monthly.
Thanks to Mr.. Curlett. this has
been changed. School trustees
will receive ten dollars, instead of
FIVE dollars 4 year for their ser
vices. The member Of the School
Trustee Electoral Board. appointed
by the circuit, Judge, is to receive
two dollars a day for each day
actually employed in school work.
The county superintendent is
made clerk of this board instead of
chairman. The time of the APP
pointmeot of school trustees is
changed, and hereafter they will
go into Office on September lstin-
stead of May 1st.
One great relief to truetees and
superintendent is ,he provision
which allows trustees to take the
oath of office before The superinten-
dent or any Office authorized to
administcr an oath. The officer
administering the oath Is to certify
the same to the clerk Of the Cir
cult Court. and no charge is to be
made for either service. The pro
vision empowering the State Board
to invest the literary fund in dis
trrict school bonds accords with
the Williams bill, alredy referred
TO. Section 1865 allows the clerk
OF the district board two dollars a
year for each teacher employed in
the district After July Ist every
teacher whose certificate has expir-
ed must have certificate issued
by the State Board of Examiners,
and approved bv the county super
intendent of schools for the divi-
sion within which such teacher is
to be employed.
The sum of 5000 Is given for
summer schools, on the condition
that not less than eight such schools
OF at least four weeks each shall be
held in the State each year. This
is step in the right direction.
With the pay our teachers arc get.
ting, it Is impossible for the great
majority of them to attend summer
schools at distance. The idea in
the Curlett bill is TO have GOOD
summer institutes in every section
OF the State, accessible to the great
bulk of our teachers. Ii was thc
idea of the committees of the two
branches of the Assembly that the
counties or cities in which, or near
which, these Institutes are to be
held shall supplement the State
fund. 1t is these Institutes under
these conditions. Winchester, Fred
ericksburg and Norfolk have al
ready asked.
Fredericksburg has ofTered 1850,
and the county boards of education
of nearby counties will DE asked
to contribute small amounts and
receive in return reduced tuition

"SOMR GOOD SOUTHERN MAN. y

Alton Is. Parker, after perSuad-
ing a New York court to prohibit
the people of New York from dis
covering how their ballots were
counted last November. has been
travelling through the South telling
the people of that section how their
ballots should be cast in 1908.
1t would, of course, be the part
of personal dignity and of political
eXpediency for this thoroughly dis
credited person he doesn't attain
the standard of politician to re-
frain from giving political advice
of any sort.
But can we expect any sense of
personal dignity from a man who
allowed himself to be made 4 pup
pet to mask the schemes of Shee-
han, Belmont and Ryan, Can
there be any sense of political ex-
pediency, or any sort of political
sense, in the mind of man who
made a campaign OF silence until
Its last week, and thereafter made
one of malignancy and scurrilityl
If Parker sensed rightly the
opinion held of him by Democrats
he would discontinue acting as
political iackal for Ryan and Bel
mont, and confine himself to help
ing them evade the law in their
numerous schemes for robbing the
American people.
1t was at Charolotte. y. c., that
Judge Parker lately delivered him
self of the opinion that the South
should furnish the next Democratic
Presidential candidate. 1t may be
so. None gives more hearty and
more ungrudging applause to the
loyalty OF Democratic voters in the
South than does The American.
Yet we do not think that they will
allow their political views TO be
formed by the corporation lawyer
whose collapse as a candidate allow
ed the Solid South to be broken
for the first time.
Judge Parker's political associa-
lions are exceedingly circumscrib-
ed. Excepting the Hon. David b.
Hill,who Is out of politics, he has
no intimates of national standing.
SO slender Is his personal political
following that when five directors
were te be elected last week by a
famous Democratic club in this
city his name was fifth in the count
"a most pitiful position for one
who had barely eighteen months
earlier been the Presidential candi-
date of his party.
To Judge Parker the Democratic
party means Thomas +. Ryan.
schemer. monopolist and "the
most dangerous man in the United
States to-day" August Belmont.
high financier, monopolist and
American agent of the Rothschilds
and the knot of exploiters of the
people clinging to their coat tails.
Their bidding he does on the hust-
ings, as in the law courts.
SO when we find him urging a
good Southern man" rs Presiden-
tial nominee in 1905 we have not
far to seek for his candidate.
Shall he not lick the hand that lift
ed him from obscurity in 1901
even though he did drop back into
greater obscurityl
We state only the obvious when
we suggest that the good Southern
man whom Judge Parker would
like to see nominated in 1908 is
Thomas Fortune Ryan, of Vir-
ginia. New York American.

The third measure is the one
introduced by Judge Martin Viii
Hams, Of Giles county, which en-
ables district school boards to Dor
row money from the Literary
Fund to build good schoolhouses.
1t is one of the most far-reaching
measures for good ever enacted in
behalf of the country. village and
and town schools. Under this
measure a district may borrow not
less than $50 and not exceeding
$4,000 on any one school. which
amount IS to be one-half Of the
cost of the school. Four per cent.
interest is charged, and ten years
time Is given in which TO repay the
loan in annual payments. The
plans and specifications and Local
ton of the building must be APP
proved by the State superinten-
dent before the State Board will
make the loan. If desired, the
State Board will furnish free of
cost plans and specifications from
which the trustees may select.
Let me Illustrate: Suppose a
$1,000 schoolhouse Is needed. The
State Board will lend $500. The
other $500 must be raised either
by the district or 10y private sub
scripton. or by both. The district
repays the $500 borrowed by pay
ING $50 year for ten years, and
four per cent. interest. The largest
amount TO be repaid in any one
wear would be $40 the first year.
Should it be decided to have high
school work done in this building
and 1t was found that $500 or $500
would pay for such instruction,
the State would give $500 or S4OO.
as the case might be.
Meanwhile the 100000 extra
will have been appropriated to
lengthen the term or increase the
salaries of teachers in the primary
and grammar grades. The three
measures are.in perfect harmony
with each other and will grcatlv
stimulate interest in our schools.
They are practical and should reach
the poorest as we'll as the richest
districts in the State.
These measures are distinct.
and each stands for one thing.
But another bill, which was very
fortunately enacted into law, was
what is known as the Curlett bill,
introduced by Delegate John Cur
lett, of Richmond county. This
measure covers a multitude of sub
jects and improves a number of
our school laws; and its influence
for good Will be felt throughout
the State. Some of its provisions
do not 90 so far as they might, and.
In fact, do not go so far as Mr..
Curlett and others wished. but the
majority of the provisions are ex-
cellent.
1T enables the district school
boards to purchase school desks
and other furniture through the
State Board of Education at greatly
reduced prices, saving the cost of
the travelling expenses of agents,
who now charge these expenses
against the orders booked. Under
this provision the district boards
can order, and, in fact, must order,
such furniture through the State
Board, or, at least, from the man
ufacturers with whom the State
Board contracts. 1t is estimated
that an average saving of at least
one dollar can be made on each
desk so ordered.
Hereafter county superinten-
dents vii! receive their pay month
ly. Instead of quarterly, as hereto
fore. 1t Is strange thing that
