The Need OF Public High Schools
In Virginia.

There are only 100000 people IL
wing in incorporated cities while
100000 live in rural communities
In the majority of rural communi.
there is no provision made for pub.
lie or private high school training
| At least half Of the counties of
Virginia have no high-schools, pub.
lie or private, which would meet
the requirements of the State Board
of Education.
There are in Virg inia, according
t, the school census just completed
this summer, 226,l35 boys and girls
over fourteen and under twenty
years of age. And yet in 1903
there were in the public schools of
Virginia only 12,3SS pupils taking
from one to FIVE high. school sub
jrcts andthe majority OF these were
not pursuing these subjects in high
schools. butin elemeGAsry schools
which gave one or two high school
subjects, snch as Algebra and Latin.
There are JAG schools in Virginia
public or private, which are doing
more or less high school work &.
Ninety three of these are rnblic
schools. for.y-thrce private Most
Of these, both public and private.
ha,r MT more than one teacher,
all Of who's time is given to in
struction in secondary branches.
Some few have as many rs two
teachers teaching high school sub
jects only. Probably not over
twenty have as may as four teach.
prs the whole of WHOSE time is de-
voted to high school work.
The most exaggerated estimate
will not give more than 5000 stu
dents in public high schools and
not more than 1000 in private high
schools, with possible total Of
10000 who have one or more high
school subjects in elementary
schools In brief, Of the 226,l35
pupils Of highschool age in Virgin
ia, only 5 ont of every 100 are
studying high school subjects in
high-schoos. While in America
rs ii whole including states south
of us which make little or no at
tempt at ii system Of secondary ed
ucation, 4 43 per cent of The III
millions of pupiIs enrolled in
schools of all grades are in high
schools, in Virginia not one per
cent of the total school population
(57S.Sl7 c!iildren) are in high
schools. The opportunity of Il boy
in Virginia f,r training of q grade
above that given in the elementary
grades is not one fifth as good as it
i. in the average American State,
to say nothing of those states
which are far above the average.
And yet it has been proven by in
vpStisation that man who has
taken high school work has %
times the chance at eminence as a
grammar school man, and a man
going through college his 9tmes
AS E1anv chance to attain eminence
as one from the high school.

DR.. w illiams as an individual. he was
absolutely clear in his own mind that
DR.. Williams was not entitled to the
support of good citizens, because he had
not the courage Of his convictions. He
had evaded the issue and seeks the sup
port of the people Of Minneapolis with
out being frank and clear as to what
his attitude will be toward the great
issue before the public. Mr.. Jones, on
the other hand, had not only created
the issue, but represented it in this con-
test, and no one could support the doc
trine of proper restriction Of the saloon

one else for mayor.

jacobson on Buchanan.

To J. F. jacobson is due the credit
for raising the congressional primary
campaign out Of the dust of the COM
monplace. His attack upon Buchanan g
record in the senate of Minnesota is
about the most clean-cut piece of polit-
ical SHINING that has been done in
this state in long time. It is not
vituperative. It is not based upon
hearsay. nor does it deal in glittering
generalities. Every shaft was drawn
from the sheath Of Buchanan g own rec
ord and every one went home.
If a candidate for congress can hold
up his head in the sixth district Of
Minnesota after such an arrangement,
there must be immense compensating
advantages in vote for Buchanan to
balance off such record of votes
against the people. If there are such
advantages it is up to Mr.. Buchanan
to show them, for it is evident he can
not deny, nor even palliate. the charges
brought against him by jacobson. They
are taken from the journal Of the SEN
ate Of Minnesota. Mr.. Buchanan 3 re-
sponsibility for those votes is inescap-
able.

In an Unguarded Moment.

We do not know who originated the
idea about weeds being the cause Of
hay fever or who began the advocacy
of catching each separate weed and ad-
ministering dose of carbolic acid, but
we do know that both the theorist and
the curist will meet with fierce resist
ance. Those freeborn citizens who
make speciality of hay fever cannot
be expected to subscribe to such a
commonplace origin of a disease which
is so mysterious, so eminently respecta-
BILE and SO comparatively painless. It
is robbing the great middle class Of a
prerogative comparable only to APP
pendicitis among the rich. ...
Nor will the suggestion that weeds
grow so rank in the streets of Mime
apolis meet with more hearty well
come. It sounds bad. It is a wonder
the Pioneer Press has not already taken
it up. If we are going to be bad friends
with st. Paul again we must be more
guarded. We must have censor ap-
pointed who will see to these things.

A Notable Campaign.

The present municipal campaign will

were the people so thoroly aroused on
any local question, and never before

in the discussion and settlement of a
local political issue.

evidence Of the degree to which sub
stantial citizens and men who stand for
good morals are aroused at this time.

Northrop Of the state university. But

oft Minneapolis to vote at the primary
election Sept. 10 for the nomination Of

It Is certainly remarkable when women
as teachers, school principals, and even
as county superintendents, are carrying
on SO creditably and Ito so great an ex-
tent the school work of the country
that our women. should not more gener-
ally exercise the power given them to
elect women on the school boards. Care

regard produce the same result and 1
wish to appeal to the women not to wait
for great uprising Of women voters,
but to arouse the women of each block
In such numbers as are possible and let
us see what our whole city can do. AS
one voter, I expect to canvass from one
to five blocks, simply reminding women
of their opportunity to help nominate a
good woman to a most important place.

MIR. Bryan's Railroad Plan.

Mr.. Bryan IS fantastic dual, state and
national, ownership Of railroads has
been before the public less than two
weeks, but in that short time the peer
less one has received an impression that
it is purely his own doctrine and not
to be forced on the democratic party.
When he invaded Kentucky yester-
day Mr.. Bryan read carefully pre-
pared statement in regard to the rail-
road question which showed that he had
been touched by the unpopular recep-
ton of his plan. He does not expect
it to- go in the platform unless all the
democrats want it. This is very for
tunate for the democratic party, for if
they once put it in their platform Mr..
MIR. Bryan could be depended upon to
see that it did not come out again, no
matter how impracticable it might APP
pear to be. Free silver was inserted in
the platform Of 1896 and Mr.. Bryan
kept it there in 1900. He would not
let go Of the issue, tho he had been de-
cisively beaten upon it and the coun-
try had declared as loudly as it, could
that it preferred the single gold stand
ard. Every argument that mortal men
could voice was used to get Mr.. Bryan
totconsent to the dropping of free sill
yer. His. final word on that question
was that the democrats might leave it
out Of their platform if they liked, but
they should, in that event, leave his
name off their ticket. This was the
sort Of free voice the democrats had
in their platform making in 1900.
In 1904 Mr.. Bryan went to St. Louis
and fought for three days against drop
ping free silver from the platform.
He. succeeded finally in compelling the
convention to stultify itself by making
no allusion to the money question:. In
1905 Mr.. Bryan returned from a trip
around the world and, like Christian
in ''The Pilgrim IS Progress,' dropped
his burden. The weight Of free silver
rolled from his shoulders. He parted
with it in almost the same words pro-
posed by the convention two years be.
fore and stopped by him. This shows
democrats the danger of putting any
fantastic Bryan doctrines in their plat
form while he lives, for he will never
let them be taken out again until. the
party has been churned in the mire of
defeat. Then he will rise up with an
other world-surprising issue to take the
dead ones place.
Mr.. Bryan has an aphorism that no
issue is settled until it s settled right.
] Mr.. Bryan is the great issue in the dem.
ocratic party, and the party viii never
have any peace until Mr.. Bryan is set.
