FREDERICKSBURG is THE
PLACE.

The legislative committee appoint
ed by the last Legisla azure of Virginia
to investigate and report on the
most available and suitable place Tor
establishing one or more additional
female normal schools in Virginia,
has, as has been published in this
paper, completed report which viii
recommend TO the present Genera.
Assembly the establishment OF three
such additional schools, one of which
is to be located in Tidewater Nir-
ginia, and Fredericksburg or New
port News are being talked OF as the
probable location for this school.
While weare willing TO cOncede that
Newport News has some advantage
over fredericksburg for the conduct
of some enterprises, when it comes
to the matter OF locating normal
school every consideration points to
Fredericksburg as the most appro-
pirate place. First and foremost to
beconsidered is the healthiulness,and
in this important respect Fieder-
icksburg far surpassesN Newport
News; but a more appropriate loca-
ton from this standpoint could not
be found in the State.
Moreover, fredericksburg Is a
quiet residential city, where the di-
versions that distract the minds OF
students in larger cities are lacking,
while at the same time the trans
portation facilities to and from any
part of the State cannot be surpass-
ed. By all means let us have the

that Or. Butler attempted to assault

Mrs. Birdsong began her evidence
without apparent nervousness, while
she said that Mrs. Nora Garrett had
told her that DR.. Butler said he had
been intimate with the defendant. and
that she had made arrangements to
meet him during their intimacy. These
stories, the witness said, almost broke
her heart. and from the time she had
heard them she scarcely knew what
she was doing. She said she was in a

URGES REGULATION
Of MARRIAGE

CHICAGO. Dec S.-Sfate regulation
OF marriage was advocated last night
by DR.. Frank Billings, president of the
Illinois State Board of Charities. in an
address before the national conference
on truancy. His audience was largely
made up of experts in charity and
reformatory lines. and his declaration,
while ii created surprise, was greeted
with applause.
DR.. Billings was speaking on Should
Wards Of the State Be Separated From
the Public School Children and he
drew a picture of the backward meth
DDS of instruction which the State
Board of Charities had found in Ger
tain institutions.
But we physicians believe in get
ting to the root of a disease said DR..
Billings. bringing his address to close
There is no use Of taking any other
point of view. The root of this trouble
lies in the existing freedom of mar
riage.
Il do not believe there should be
any such freedom of marriage. I am
no lawyer, but / would like TO see So
ciety put on its statute books a law
not merely until they had secured a
certificate OF health from a reputable
physician, but until they had OBJ
tanned a certificate OF inheritance show
ing their antecedents.
= This sounds drastic, but the in
crease in the defective classes is so
impressive as to warrant such a con-
clusion. Two per cent of the popula-
tion of Illinois is insane. The number
