Has an Excellent Building Well
Equipped for Commence
tnent Exercises.


& Stuart Institute ID the one graded
school in Elk Garden District, Russell
county, Va. 1t was established In 1900.
and is namedQo Hon. N. e. Stuart who
contributed literally towards founding
the school. 1t is public property, con-
4trolled by the District School trustees;
but there is also local board OF seven
members, who cooperate with the dis
I trict trustees, and secure funds by sub.
scrlption and tuition to run the school
nine months-four months longer than
the public school term II @
Besides tho three.room building, shown
In above cut. there Is q music hall, also
public property, but built Ivy the people
of the vicinity Four teachers are ein-
ployed. An additional one will be re-
Fuulred for tho coming term. The at,
tendance the past term was on total en-
$rcllment Hottie largest in tho history
OF the school.
The school has tile nucleus Of library
and a Poe Literary Society, organized
by the grammar school pupils. t
There Is also principals residence
on the school promises. for the accom,no-
dalton OF the teachers. This building
Ia the property Of the local board. In
the two properties there are about three
acres OF land, donated by Mr.. Stuart
The Commandments exercises Of tho
institute were held May 27-29. The bac-
chlhureate sermon was preached by Rev.
g. c. Rector, of Tazewel The address
before the Poe Literary Society was de-
slivered by Rev. w. u. Sorrell, pastor or

and controlled by individuals or corpo-.
rntions. 1t would, speaking mildly, be
very unwlse after having tested In every
particular this system OF education and
seen its advantages, to do away with 1t
at this late day,
The secondary private school has or
should have a certain definite part to-
play In our educational system, and It
lis next to impossible for 1t to- assume
the role OF the public high school. They
arc similar, however, In one respect. In
that they both offer practically same
courses OF study.
q It seems to me that the most inpor-
tant reason why we should not be greatly
alarmed for the future prosperity OF the
secondary private school Is because It
Is 80 entirely different from the public
high school when the one feature OF dis
cipine is considered. In the former In
stitution the student lives and moves
and has his very being In the healthtul,
restraining atmosphere OF well-regulated
discipline. and a Systematic training and
beneficial influence are secured which
cannot, from tho very nature Of the case
be obtained In the public school where
discipline Is OF only minor Importance. ~
Therefore, 1t does not seem probable
on account OF this one chief reason that
the future existenco Of the secondary
private school OF Virginia is seriously
endangered, or that because OF the re-
cent deyelopment Of the public nigh
school the former Ia doomed to Intimate
decline and decay. & is

the mighty engine OF supervision has
been welded by competent men-men pos

nourlshing condition.
Never before has this vital question Of
supervision received with us the serious
thought which men nre now giving 1t.
Tho present system Of supervision by
counties Is obviously inadequate. The

their people may justly take pride.

1T only needs a general extension Of such
work to bring a gratifying advance to-
wards school efficiency all over tho
State. Under the stimulus Of the excellent
work our State Board OF School Exams
iners are doing this extension Is stead

hope that when the time comes again to
appoint superintendents the examiners
will be able to lay before the State Board
such facts as are necessary for their in

of giving all their time to the schools

-Four Years Progress
In the Virginia Schools.
By ROBERT FRAZER ".

Supervision.-In every undertaking ems,
yploying a number Of men. efficient super!
vision Is by common consent the prime
essential to success. We look for Moth
ing but disaster in any business Where
no adequate provision Is mnde for its
proper direction and conduct. II a landed
proprietor wants good returns from his
farming operations. he sees That they
are entrusted only to men who know
their business and are trustworthy.
What would the stockholders Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway say II the
one Of the Newport News churches super
intendent Of the eastern division OF that
road, Fluvanna farmer superintendent
OF the James River division, Gordona-
Vile physician superintendent OF the cell-
trail division, and Huntington silver
smith superintendent Of the western?
And suppose the directors should go a
step further and leave these so-calied
craft as the main chance? Would the
stockholders be gulled into the belief
that their road had any supervisor at all?
Could the directors fairly claim that
when they made these appointments they
were thinking at all about the interests
OF the company?
Virginia has no interest comparable
to that which centers In her schools.
Tho prosperity of our people, the good
order OF society, the security of our in
stitutions. all hang upon the outcome. of
the schools, Their work Is fundamental,
for 1t underlles the whole futura of the
Commonwealth,
yirginia's first Superintendent OF Public
Instruction, DR., Ruffner, said; GAS la the
teacher, 80 Is the school; as is the super
intendent, so are all the teachers and
all the schools" The foremost educator
in the State to-day says Zone great
trouble with the public schools Of Vir-
ginia is a. lack of adequate superyision."
Says another. recognized for his expert
training and for his work rs a leader:

Sometime ago prominent educator
OF the State made the following state
ment relative to the Increasing impor--
lance and usefulness or tho Public High
School OF Virginia: THE secondary
private school OF Virginia Is doomed
said he "the public high school Is raj
Idly supersedlng and will eventually dis
place 1t as n factor In the education OF
the future generation.''5 4
Contrary to the spirit OF this state
ment, the aim OF this article is to prove
that the secondary private school ana
the public high school are naturally and
Inherently so different In purpose. work,
and results. that they will both continue
to exist side by side In tho future as
they have done In the past as two isepa-
rate and distinct educational institutions.
Within the last few years several we'll
known schools OF second rank In the
State have closed. Wis.,; Pantops Acad-
envy. ST. Adams School, and Danvlle
Military Institute. These institutions
discontinued. however,, through no lack
OF patronage on the part OF the public
at large, as they were allpln a prosper
Gus condition from the standpoint OF
numbers in attendance when they de-
cided to suspend. 30 are all OF the Sec
ondary private schools of Virginia, as
