Since the opening of the twentieth CEN
fury a well-defined and steady advance
ment has marked the educational move
ment in Maryland and Virginia. This has
been manifested in all Of the various
grades and branches Of institutions OF
learning, beginning with the common
schools in the country districts and finding
its highest expression in the improved and
broadened work Of the colleges and uni
versities.
But while the most noticeable results are
to be found in connection with the broad
ened scope of the higher institutions a
general and uniform advancement has been
manifest in the work Of the academic and
other intermediate and preparatory schools
Being numerous and in close touch with
the people, they have, as ever, had yeo-
mans task to perform.
The impetus has by no means spent itself
like wave of sentimental fervor or popu-
lar reform. Its permanent qualities have
been amply demonstrated and its fruits
are being shown each year. -

HELD FOR POST OFFICE ROBBERY
Serious Charge Against Annapolis
Young Man.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. Nd. August 25.-Edgar e.
Porter, aged twentyfour years. the son of
Maj. James c. Porter of this city and fore
man in the Office Of the Maryland Gazette,
was arrested today on the charge Of rob-
bling the local post Office Of a quantity of
mall matter and admitted his offense. Fifty
letters taken from different boxes were
found In his possession.
His plan was to open his own box and
reach through, taking letters out Of the box
just above it. which belonged to the county
officials. He also secured a number of let
tiers addressed to state executive depart
ments. The only cash likely to be in these
boxes. which 1t Is believed were left I'M
locked, were sums of money, either So or
So. sent for licenses for owners or drivers
of automobiles. 1t is believed that he Sc
cured several sums Of money from these
sources.
Porter's practice had been to take the
letter, open 1t at his leisure and then re-
place 1t after having taken what he want
ed and resealing it. Attention was first d.
rected to the matter by finding such letters
in the Office and also by complaints from
senders of letters which were not delivered
At the hearing before United States Com
missioner Brewer this afternoon Porter
expressed his willingness to plead guilty.

OPENED IN YEAR 1912.
Record Of Ho1lins Institute at ,Dote-
tourt Springs, Va

With the session of 19O6-O7 Hollins In
stitute of Botetourt Springs, Va, begins
It's sixty-third year as an educational in
stitution. The school opened its first session
In the spring of 1912, under no distinctive
name, and was conducted in the interests Of
both sexes. Subsequently as 1t continued
to grow in strength and numbers 1t was
called THE Valley Union Seminary" For
ten years it prospered on the original plan
and during that period sent forth many
young men Of the Old Dominion who later
became prominent in business and pro-
fessional life. In 1851 the stock company
In charge of the institution decided to con-
tinue 1t exclusively as a school for girls
the reason being that there was then no
chartered institution for girls in all Vir-
gfnia-city or country-with elaborate and
systematic courses of study. Since then the
school has continued to prosper The fact
that girls from many parts Of Virginia
eagerly entered the school and took ad-
Vanced courses of study-many of them
coming from uncultured homestead q
startling effect for it demonstrated the
fact that the people were in advance Of
their leaders on the question Of the higher
education for women.
The school continued to overflow with
pupils, and in 1865 John Hollins of Lynch
burg, man of wealth, inspired by his wife,
Mrs. Anne Hollins, proposed to place the
entire enterprise in the hands Of self
perpetuating board of trustees The COM
pany acceded to this proposition and Mr..
Hollins placed at their disposal the sum Of
$4,000 for improvements. His wife made
many other gifts to the institution, which
was later given it's present name, and would
have handsomely endowed 1t but for the
fact that her fortune was swept away by
the civil war. Until 1870 the school was
sustained by Virginia patronage alone and
did not make itself known beyond the lin
Its Of the state. Since that time it has
drawn pupils from a much larger area,
from twenty to thirty states being repre-
sented at each session.
Besides the numerous cultivated charac-
tiers 1t has given to society at large it's
contributions to the teaching profession
have been numerous and most creditable.
Its graduates are found in the faculties
of MANY public and Christian schools of
various denominations in Virginia and
other states and its representatives also
stand on nearly every foreign mission field.
The school is conducted according to the
best standards of Christian home life.
