But it is not the great free schools alone
that are feeling the prick Of knowledge
Virginia is celebrated particularly for the
number and character of its academies and
colleges. Like the old college at williams

maintaining their best traditions and have
acquired new and fresh ideals. The con-
spicuous merit of southern leaders in poll
tics was due to the superior political edu-
cation. covering topics in history. political
economy and the science of government
which only recent years have brought to
northern institutions.
There is at the present time. 1t is said,
coming to be less and less distinction in
the state between so-called public and
private education. A recent writer says
that in the latest political campaigns the
question has not been What kind of an
institution do you represent" but What
can you DO for the public weal?' Public
taxation. private donations. religious
earnestness are contributing to this gen.
eral public wellbeing.
There are $4,000 school children in Vlr-
ginia, and recent legislation in the state
shows that the assembly have the good of
these children at heart, and that educa-
ton is becoming a great social concern.
The taxpayers of the various school dis
tricts are not compelled to raise their local
educational rates. but they have volun-
teered to do SO, and in thus showing their
interest by the matter OF school levies
they have also shown their intelligent real
ization of conditions by demanding ex-
pert supervision.
There was inaugurated at the last Vir.
ginia assembly an education legislature,
which subsequent sessions are expected to
continue. 1t can therefore be said, as has
been said with conviction, that '"rhe
chasm between the elementary school and
the college has forever been bridged BY
the establishment Of the organic relation
of 100 new public high schools. and that
equality Of educational opportunity for
every mans child Is guaranteed from the
first grade through the university. The
outlook is reassuring." p. F. @.

Dr Ferrer Resigns.

Paris, Oct 1.-Dr Ferrer, the Cuban representative here has cabled Senor Diago, acting chief of the state de- partment at Havana, placing his re- signation at the disposal of the pro- yisional government of Cuba. The tender of Dr Ferrer's resignation Is in no sense protest against what has transpired. On the contrary, like the resignation of Senor Quesada, the Cuban minister at Washington, it Is offered with the view of facilitating and not embarrassing the task of the United States, Dr Ferrer being con vinced that American intervention was the only course open under the circumstances. It is believed that the Cuban representatives abroad have taken similar steps.
 Dr Ferrer, acting upon instructions received from Senor DiagO transmit ted to the French government an of flcial notification of the institution of the provisional government of Cuba. including textual copy of Governor Taft's proclamation.
 No communication regarding Cuba has reached the French foreign office from the United States and in view of the notification emanating directly from Havana none Is now antici- pated.
