Notice to Teachers.

All public schools will suspend for
Xmas holidays Friday, 21st of De-
cember, and resume work January
I'd, 1907. In making reports for
this month, please state numbers OF
days actually taught including De-
cember 21st. The new regulation re-
ouires all teachers to be entered on
same monthly payroll, and allows
three days to send in reports to divi-
sion superintendent. In several dis
tricts the pay of all the teachers was
delayed for months Of September,
October and November, simply be-
cause one or two teachers in the dis
trict failed to be prompt with their
reports. This is manifestly unjust to
those teachers who are prompt and
who need their pay, hence those de-
laying the business of the district may
hereafter expect the law in the mat
ter of fines to be applied and the fine
per diem after three days to be de-
Quoted from salary and credited to
that district.
Very respectfully
G. G. Joynes,
Superintendent.

An extra session of the Legislature
of Virginia will not be called, as was
threatened some days ago, to make
the officials and attorneys of the Penn
svlvania Railroad respect the wishes
of the people of the State in the seiec-
ton of president for the Richmond
Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad
The matter was settled at a meeting
of the stockholders in Richmond on
Monday by the election of William
Henry White, prominent attorney
of Norfolk, as executive head of the
R.F. & P. R. R., at the instance OF
those representing the interests OF the
road. In their opinion, a Virginian
could be better depended upon to see
that the State got all that she is is Cd efh:'
titled to and the selection was made
in accordance with their views. The
credit is due principally though to
Governor Swanson for the happy end
ing of the matter, and the people OF
Virginia are to be congratulated IN
having as their executive one VINO
not only in this case but in every
other, since he was inaugurated, has
shown himself alive to the best In
terests of the State.

Saturday, December Is, 1906.

The school book investigating COM
mittee, appointed by the Legislature
of Virginia, is in session i'll the city OF
Richmond ard an effort is being MADE
TO ascertain the cause for higher
priced books in Virginia than in other
States. The witnesses summoned
before them are being prodded with
searching questions and their answers
clearly demonstrate, it is stated, tnaI
there has been a laxity among the
members OF the board in looking al
ter the interests of the State. Inc
investigation should disclose in what
way they have failed to discharge
their duty, and it is to be hoped, that
the matter will be probed to the bot
tom and some one held responsible
for this state of affairs. If true, as
reported, that the chairman OF the
committee has a schedule of prices
showing the prices here and else
where, and that Virginia is paying 20
per cent. more for books than the
State of New York, it looks as If some
one can be held responsible for the
difference. The publisher OF the BOOKS
is either getting too much for them OF
some one is receiving money for tnem
to which he is not entitled, and the
publisher can and should be made to
give the cause for the difference IN
prices. The matter is one in which
the people of Virginia generally are
too much interested, at least, to leave
anything undone which will enable
them to relieve themselves OF the
burden to which they are now SUD-
iected, and the committee should
leave nothing undone to place the res
possibility for high priced books where
it belongs.

The lower house of Congress put It
self upon record on Monday in opposl-
ton to the new spelling recommended
by the President by vote of 142 to
25. The debate on simplifed spelling
held the attention of that body for
hours and Republicans as well as
Democrats condemned t,some on the
ground that the new words were
offensive to the eye" and others, be-
cause of the expense of reprinting
all the school books and dictionaries
as we'll as the cost to the Government
in making the change. Teddy has the
right, of course, as one OF the mem
bers said, to spell as he pleases, but 1t
is gratifying to note that this is as far
as he will be permitted to go by our
lawmakers and that some Republicans
even have too much independence to
endorse all of his nonsensical views.

President Roosevelt was directly
charged in the Senate Thursday with
using his influence for the election OF
Republican-Mormon candidates in the
recent election in Idaho and Montana.
The charge was made by Senator
Dubois in the course of speech in
which he discussed the right OF Reed
Smoot to a seat in the Senate. In
Utah the Senator stated that the
gentiles, both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, who are battling for American
citizenship and against the degrade
ton of womanhood and home, have
abandoned all hope of political pre-
ferment, because Mr.. Roosevelt has
thrown all the weight of his mighty
influence against them andin favor OF
Smoot and Smith.

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-The oppo-
sition to the committee amendment to
the sundry civil bill appropriating $780,
900 annually for the payment of the
travelling expenses of the president,
which was begun by Senator McLaurin,
resulted today in the withdrawal of the
amendment by Senator Hale, in charge
of the bill, and the subsequent passage
of the independent bill providing prac-
tically for the same appropriation
which was recently passed by the house
of representatives.
Considerable other business was
transacted, including the passage of
the sundry civil appropriation bill.
There was an effort to strike out
from the bill the section prohibiting
canteens at soldiers homes, but instead
it was made stronger.
The bill as passed carries an appro-
priation of $102, 400, 900.
The bill also retains the house pro-
vision for lock canal at Panama.
The senate also accepted the confer
ence report on the District of Columbia
appropriation bill and also the confer
ence report on the postoffice appropria-
tion bill.
The senate also adopted joint reso-
luton introduced by Senator McLaurin
expressing sympathy with the Russian
Hebrews on account of the recent mas
