easy and convenient channel for con-
ferring this enlarged teaching power and
fitness, and meeting, by reinforcing the
normal school and college, constant
need and demand.
Aside, however, from this unitarian
view of the necessity OF the high school.
there Is another and wider field for It's
potent services and beneficent action. It
must ever be a mighty factor in any eff
cient system OF education that reaches
and uplifts the sturdy and deserving
masses OF the rural sections. as we'll as
the town. 1t Is evident really that an
immeasurable throng of youths who are
pupils at the public schools will never be
able to enter normal school or college. by
reason of financial hlndrance or preven-
ton. Thus, as the poet says: Full many
flower will be born to blush unseen and
waste its sweetness on the desert air.
without tho timely aid and gracious adj
vantages of the high school. From the
poorest parents, unblessed by fortunes
smiles and from sources the most OBJ
scure. have emanated in the past tina
most gifted and useful in all lines OF
pursuits and professions. Shall promising
material, hampercd by TN favorabls condi-
lions and the bonds OF poverty. remain
dormant. undeveloped and unpublished rs
the native granite left und!sturbed IN the
mountain quarry?
Tho great object of tho public school
system Is but half accomplished when
education is dealed out to the youth OF the
State In limited doses. There Is wisdom
in creating a. citizenship that shall not
be mentally inferior to that OF any other
State or country. This becomes an axiom
in Its strength and bearing, when 1t In
considered. as statistics conclusivcly show,
that the material wealth and resources
of any country. as well as the virtue
and morality OF the people thereof are
in direct proportion to the funds expended
and the grade and character OF the edu-
cation impaired. It will be hasing ex-
allied expectations upon insufficient foun-
dations to look for a great. cultivated and
educated people. who can bring order
out of chaos. convert a wilderness into an
oasis, without making the instruction
offered adequate to the production OF such
results. The need of Virginia boys and
girls to make them the men and women
of which they are emlnently capable OF
becoming. the peers Of any people the
world has ever seen. worthy of the Illus
trious past and creators of q still moro
glorious future, Is the best educational
opportunities and encouragement. Our
distinguished Lawmakers. heretofore ana
at present, It may be said. have been and
are still generously and nobly reaching
forward toward the height of this arg,i-
ment, Knowing tnht> descendants or Vir-
gina fathers and mothers always deserve
the best that the State can bestow.
When that Is done. no morning sun
ever shone with refulgent beams over
earth and sky with more certain and gra-
cious effects than that. with resulting
citizenship OF wise heads. skilful hands
and pure hearts, the waste places OF the
old Commonwealth shall bloom and blos-
som Us the rose, and her ancient prestige
and renown be intellectually and continue
ously revived.

A Teachers Salary.

Editor OF The Times-Dispatch:
Sir.-Allow me. through your columns,
to call attention to phase Of the edu-
cational situation In our State too often
overlooked or taken as mere matter
OF course-the smallness Of teachers
salary.
A teacher does not choose his profess
sion anticipating any great returns in a
financial way; his creed is. or should
be, Art for arts sake" nevertheless
he "maun live" and q suitable salary
should be paid him. 1t almost amounts
to Il proverb that a teacher dies poor.
He enjoys his life from literary stand
point, but graceful Latin sentences and
polished Greek verse cannot fill an empty
stomach.
. The truth OF the matter is that much
of the best talent of our State and coun-
try Is turned into other channels OF USE
fulness on account OF the serious situa-
ton which confronts men and women.
.too-in securing comfortable livelihood
out Of teaching. Apropos to teaching as n
profession Ito adopt, 4 prominent man Of
our town some days ago addressed mo
thus. why don't you give up teaching?
Knowledge of Macbeth will not I'LL your
pockets with money; get In the ditch and
dig for It. and you will have more laid
up for a rainy day" Perhaps he put 1t
n little strong. but the essence of the
statement Is true beyond doubt.
Increase our teachers salaries and we
raise the plane of tho profession No
man, however much he Is naturally In
clined TO n literary life of this sort, and
however highly he prizes the welfare OF
his State and country, will Wear his lifo
away for mere pittnnce and when old
ago comes be stranded high and dry.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE.

It is remarkable. the impression that victor's Royal Ve1et!rl btBi has made on the regular vaudeville patrons of the Jacques this week. Waterbury while more or less fond of music never lets tie opportunity of hearing it interfere with its rest and some of the very best bands in the country have played here to such scandalously small houses that they have never come back for another knockout punch. All the credit however must not be given to the headliher. The sup porting features of the bill are in themselves sufficiently strong to att tract all who like bright. clean, and sustained entertainment. Miss Rae Cox has made such a pronounced hit with the male occupants of the or- chestra chairs that the first five rows are gobbled up long before the time for the curtain to rise, and her assortment of stories Representations and songs haven't a dull moment in them. Gardner and Vincent have also contributed materially to the general success of the bill and their sketch Winning a Queen" is good for a laugh all the way along. The other artists have all scored without trouble and the bill as 1t is rounded out by the five Romanos. Ben Myers, Wood and Berry. and Gilday and Fox is as pleasing an offering as Manager Poli has made in weeks. Prices are 10. % and 90 cents: af- ternoon 10 and 20 certs, ladies 10 cents.

GOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

Tat t~.utlesoL pair in the small nf the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of Its own accord, nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg lect makes the cn-e harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, headaches, dizzy spells, nausea, indigestion, weak heart, gravel, stone In the kidneys, dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small Of the back. or first notice anything wrong with the urine, don't delay a moment. Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have quick md direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood, cleanse and stimulate the kid neys, regulate the urine, cure hack ache, dizziness and languor, and per manently heal the kidneys.

A CRISIS AT PARIS
Rouvier Cabinet Is Defeated After Church Riots Debat
DISPUTE IS TO CARRYING OUT LAWS
News Came as Bolt Out of BIue Sky to Country and May Innuencs the Result of the Moroc-
 can Conference.

PARIS. March S.-Like a bolt from a clear sky the Rouvier ministry was defeated in the chamber of deputies last night and immediately resigned.4
 The cabinet crisis comes at most dramatic moment. when the Franco German contest has reached . decisive stage. and may exert an important adverse influence on the Algeciras con- ference and on European affairs.
 The defeat of the government came on a comparatively minor debate over the church disorders. The government succeeded in holding only 234 votes, while the various clements in opposi- tion-Clericals, Socialists and Nation alists--united and polled 267 votes. thus placing the ministry in . minority of 8.
 The debate in the chamber of depu- ties was upon the bloody riot yesterday during the inventory of a church in the village of Boeschepe. resulting in the death of e manifestant Various orators severely criticised the govern ment's course. asserting that it threat ened to precipitate a religious war fare. Premier Rouvier responded: The government has the duty to ap- ply the law. It will apply 1t without weakness. but also with the prudence. tact and wisdom consistent with pub He tranquility. ssk the adoption of q resolution approving these declsa- tons of the government"
 The resolution was thersupon put to . vote and defeated. The result vas due to a combination of opposition in- fuences. The vote was more exprcs- stve of personal sntagonism to the ministry than of opposition to ehurch inventories.
 The decision resulted from . dIspar- fly of the opinions expressed in the chamber of deputies relative to tbs method of ezrryinr out the law provid- Ing for the separation of church and state

And Hay in deep perplexity leaned against the low fence and al- most imploringly gazed into the ma jor's face. They all leaned on Webb.
 Any idea who they were?' asked the commander.
 Mot the skin of shadow, 'cept that one man rode shorter stirrups'n I do. They forgot to set 'em back. They had my California saddle on Dan and that light Whitman of mine on Harney."
 Sure it was two men?" queried Webb, locking straight into the tra- der's eyes.
 "What else could it be?" demanded Hay, ir no little excitement.
 "Well, I thought possibly Miss Flower might have been moved to take moonlight ride. No reason why she shouldn't, you know, and not wishing to disturb you" "Then she would have used her own sidesaddle. Whats she doing with a mans? Besides, she'd have told mel"

 No, Webb had not seen her, and together the two started in search, first to the flagstaff, and there at the point of bluff beyond the Rays there she stood, gazing up the Platte toward the Indian village through a pair of signal glasses that weighed

Captain Lewis says: "I saw MT. Chapin in his impersonation of Lincoln about three years ago, and he revealed Lincoln in spirit, word and action. His impersonation sustained at all times Lincoln's strength, happy humor and gentle dignity. MT. Chapin does more than the work of an actor. He has created wonder ful production that is revelation of the greatest traits of character as they were embodied in Abraham Lincoln" Mr. Chapin has now em- bodied his impersonation in the character drama Lincoln" which he presents at Polls tonight.
