CAMPAIGN AGAINST TUBERCULOSIS.

a bill recently introduced by
Senator w. ii. Mann at request of
the Virginia Sanatorium for Con
sumptives, will. if passed. mark
the commencement of a systematic
campaign in Virginia against the
spread of consumption and other
forms of tuberculosis. The bill
requires attending physicians and
others to report all cases of tuber-
culosis to the local Health Authori-
ties for private registry. If the
attending physician undertakes TO
instruct his patient and see pro-
per hygienic measures adopted no
visits or publicity are permitted
by the Health Authorities. Fail

are taken TO prevent reinfectiOn of

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

That there is a growing public
sentiment in Virginia in favor Of
compulsory education can hardly
be doubted by the those who mingle
much with the masses. 1t may
possibly be that the sentiment i
not yet sufficiently strong to COM
mand great support, though we are
inclined To the view that even now
a fair test of public feeling on the
question would disclose majority
of the voters of the state i'm favor
of such a measure. That the time
Is not far in the future when there
will be an overwhelming demand
for such n law we do not doubt
for amOment. In any event the
present General Assembly cannot
90 amiss should it adopt the sug-
gestion of Governor Montague in
his last message to that body and
enact law by which the question
of compulsory education many be
submitted to the people in any
county or district who may ask for
it. If such a law be passed it will
surprise some people TO discover
the rapid progress this sentiment
has made in some sections of the
state and its enforcement even in
one district would excite profound
interest in every section of the
state.
We shall not take time here to
discuss one chief objection made to
such a policy being enforced be-
cause it would force into the school
larger number OF colored than of
white children. That argument
has no force in it, because it is not
based upon facts and it implies that
what Is conceded to be a good thing
for another class of people is bad
thing for another class, an argu-
ment so often refuted by practical
demonstration that it seems strange
1t should now be made by sensible
people.

MENTAL ATTITUDE.

The mental attitude which we al
ways hold toward our work or our aim
has everything TO do with what we
may accomplish. II you go TO your
work with the attitude OF slave. who
goes dashed 10 his task and see in Il
only drudgery; II you work without
hope. seeing no future in what You are
doing beyond getting a bare living: IL
you see no Hight ahead. nothing but
poverty. deprivation and hard work
all your life; il you think that you
were destined 10 such hard life. YOU
cannot expect anything else than that
which YOU look for.
IL. on the other hand. no matter how
)or YOU may be today. you can see n
sitter future; II you believe that some
day You are going TO rise out OF hum
drum work. that you are going TO get
up out Of the basement OF life into the
drawing room. where beauty. comfort
and joy await you; II your ambition Is
clean cut and you keep your eye stead
lily upon the goal which YOU hope 10
reach and feel confident that YOU have
the ability TO attain It, you will accom-
pliSh something worth while. The d.
rection OF your effort viii follow your
eye. II that looks up as well as on.
you viii climb.
That ono quality of holding persist
entity the faith in themselves and ncv-
lr allowing anything to weaken the be-
lief that somehow they would accom-
piish what they undertook has been the
underlying principle OF all great
achievers. The great majority OF men
and women who have given civilization
a great upllft started poor and for
many dark years saw no hope OF ac-
comprising their ambition, hut they
kept ON working and believing that
somehow way would be opened.

himself and spread of the disease
TO others. The source of infection
is the expectoration of a cousump-
tive. The only requirement of the
patient by this bill is that he shall
spit into receptacles provided for
the purpose and shall destroy the
matter eXpectoraten. The Health
Authorities are empowered to
compel the observance of this re-
quirement when necessary. Con-
sumption is tuberculosis of the
lungs. The same disease attacks
the inteStines, the kidneys, the eye,
the throat and other parts of the
body. Precautions by the con-
sumptive against reinfection of
himself is therefore essential.
Considering the wide prevalence
of this disease, its fearful mortal
ity and its enormous cost, some
steps for its control are imperative.
The above moderate and inexpen-
slve measures have had a seven
years trial in New York and have
proved satisfactory TO all concern
ed. The mortality rate from this
disease there has been reduced
one half, and there is apparent
ly no reason why the same meas
ures should not be adopted in our
State. The prevalence of the dis
ease is primarily due to ignorance
of the fundamental facts of pre-
vention, infection and cure. The
educational feature of this measure
Is therefore especially commenda-
BILE and it is self evident that, in
order to combat any disease, it
must first be located. Without
registration there can be no relia-
ble statistics to guide us and edu-
cational-preventive effort would be
abOrtive.

REASONS FOR TORRENS BILL.

The following reasons why the
Torrens Bill should become a law
in Virginia explain the bill in
compact form. We advocate the
measure without reserve.
First. The settling of titles, not
for day, but for all time.
Second. The prevention fo end
less causes of litigation arising from
bad and doubtful titles.
Third. The abolition of the
necessity for the endless examina-
ton of titles by experts.
Fourth. The saving of the cost
of such endless examination of
titles by experts.
Fifth. The saving of the time re-
quired for such endless examnia-
tons of titles by experts.
SIXTH. The addition of a merch-
antable quality to titles, rendering
lands marketable and a source of
ready commercial credit for short
loans as we'll as small loans.
Seventh. The enormous in
crease of the bankable capital of
Virginia, multiplying it nearly
threefold.
Eighth. The emancipation of
the owners of small homes from
the hands of the money-sharks who
now charge outrageous rates for
small loans.
Ninth. The free development
of the State by settling titles in a
comparatively cheap, expeditions,
and most effective manner,
Tenth. INSTRUMENTATION of the
revenues of the State from the in
creased value of her lands.
Eleventh. The announcement
of immigration by the certainty of
good titles.

giventhe preference on the strength
Ofsuperior workmanship and some
what better delivery. The Rich
mond works have just delivered
five large passenger engines to the
Norfolkand and Western, and these
are reported to be doing excellent
service.
The locomotives just contracted
for are of the heavy freight type.
They will weigh about 2oO,OO0
pounds each and will be the heavi-
est ever operated on the line.
An especial feature will be the
full truck in front instead of the
pony truck. This will make them
especially adaptable to heavy
curves. The boilers will be fitted
with the Doarmberger patent flue
sheets, designed by Mr.. Doarm-
berger, foreman of the boiler
shops in Roanoke.
The railroad expects to receive
the first of these engines in July
or August, and the delivery of the
entire lot is looked for within the
year.
The Norfolk and Western has
been recently increasing It's equip
ment along all lines. Large orders
for cars also have been placed.
The new locomotives, it is under
