The Fruits Of Agitation.

On our Educatlona Page yesterday, DR..
Robert Frazer, field agent .for Virginia
Of the Southern Education Board, began,
a series of articles on -Four Years Of
Progress in the Virginia Schools Dir.
Frazer says that the agitation begnn IN
1902. If he had not been too modest to
tell the whole truth, he would have said
that the agitation was begun by himself.
In the early part Of that year, an edi-
torial writer on the staff OF the Richmond
Times paid n visit to Farmvlle, while Or.
Frazer was president of the Normal
School at that place. DR.. Frazer had
been Investigating public school condi-
tons in certain sections OF the state,
and spoke freely to the newspaper man,
exhibiting photographs Of country
schoolhouses which he had taken on
his journey. The interview was reported
IN The Times, and was followed By q
stronger statement from Dr.. Frazer. The
two interviews caused sensation, and
Dr.. Frazer was denounced from certain
quarters. But he had told the simple
truth, and his statements could not be
disproved. The people opened their eyes.
Some of them got mad, thank the Lord,
| for that Is the most effective way ot
arousing Vlrglnian, and Virginia need
| ed general 1"nrousement' on this sub
| joct. The public school system had fallen
into condition of stagnation, and Ma,
lures remedy for stagnation in the at
mosphere Is a storm. Well, DR.. Frazers
revelations brought the storm all right,
| and the atmosphere was cleared. The
| people then saw that their school sys-
| TEN needed to be thoroughly renovated,
| and when the peopls are made to recog-
| nize the existence OF an evil, they next
! turn their attention to the remedy. An
| educational movement was then inaugu-
rated. and the Richmond Education AS
ISOLATION was Its sponsor. Fine meet
| lngs were held in Richmond, and the
Cooperative Education Association was
organized, Then Fame the great meeting
| IN Norfolk and the May campaign. The
results speak for themselves. The en-
