Our Educational Page.

The leading article on our Educational
Page to-day deals with the kindergarten
practice school of William and Mary
College and the work of that school is
illustrated. The kindergarten has now
become an essential feature of the pub
lie school system of Virginia and is grow
ing every year in Importance and inter-
est.
We pause Just here to mention that
Richmond has one OF the best training
schools in the South for kindergarten
teachers. The school has been carried on
under adverse circumstances and could
not have been carried on at all, except
for the generosity of Miss Fairchild, of
New York. But 1t has done splendid
work and has supplied the kindergarten
schools of Richmond with first-class
teachers. This is the most prosperous
session that the chool has had since 1t
was founded, and we take occasion to
direct attention to its work and to the
opportunity which/it offers to young wo-
men desiring to fit themselves for this
noble profession.
Professor s. C. Mitchell. of Richmond
College, contributes an article on the work
OF the Cooperative Education Association
oi Virginia; Mr.. II. L. Bridges, of Hayes
Store, Va, discusses the need of normal
school training; Mrs. Martha Gielow,
president of the Southern Industrial Edu-
cation Association, makes an appeal to
the people of the South in behalf of that
branch of education for Southern chill
dren: Mr. G.. G.. Joyner, of Accomac, con-
tributes an article on textbooks for the
public schools; Mr.. r. II. Hudnall, of
the V. p. L., discusses the needs OF the
public schools at Blacksburg, and cor
respondent whose name is not given.
submits some practical views on the SUI
ject of school discipline. There are also
items OF news from the Miller School
at Crozet and the State Normal School
at Farmville.
Interest in our Educational Page grows
and we are receiving encouraging words
from the friends of education in various
parts of the State. Let us again insist
that this is n cooperative work and we
earnestly desire that superintendent,
teachers and all friends of popular e,:,i-
cation Will join with US in making this
in fact as well as in name an educa-
ton page.

ran away and was not captured until
a year later. At the time OF his capture

of fraud of director" the sum of

On December Is, 1901, Wright was found
guilty and sentenced to seven years

the statute. He declared that he was In
nocent of any intention to dcfraud, but
took his punishment stoically and re-
tired to an adjoining room for conference
with his solicitors. During this confer

Unrest in China

However one may look at 1t, It is very
evident that China is in a condition OF
marked social and economic unrest. The
real significance OF this condition, how
ever, is less easy than the fact. The
rather disturbing tone of recent Chinese
dispatches may mean that trouble Is
brewing there for the foreigners, as we'll
as for the ruling dynasty, and 1t may
only mean that China is suffering badly
and somewhat vaguely from growing
pains. Back OF the rather complicated
situation, other influences certainly are
at work than a mere general antipathy
to all foreigners. and to Americans In
particular.
1t is at first glance a somewha. curious
thing that China's chief hostility to-
ward aliens should be reserved for the
enc country which has absolutely re-
spected the integrity of her territory.
France, England, Germany, Russia and
Japan have all, as the New York Sun
points out, encroached upon her terri
tory, and their Entertainments have as
yet aroused far less bitter resentment
than our own unfortunate adrninistra-
ton of the exclusion act. The explana-
ton. however. is not difficult. A nation
like man, can forgive political offense
more easily than n personal one, and our
wrongs TO China have all been of the
latter sort. We have held the Chinaman
personally in n contempt which we have
not taken the trouble to conceal The
trade boycott and various expressions of
animosity toward things and PEOPLE
American are recent evidences that the
seeds sown by our determinations against
the Chinese are at last bearing fruit But
this hostility, however, real or wide
spread, by no means accounts for all the
signs of present unguiet in China En-
tongled with it, though not it would ap-
pear, part of it, is more or less
strongly organized movement against the
ruling dynasty. This revolutionary i'm,

successes of her island neighbor have
supplied to China the spark necessary
to revivify her virtually extinguished
reform party.
Her educated classes have become deep
" imbued with the instincts for progress
and growth which have so long lain dor

velopment has suddenly given new point

An Exotic.

In land of perennial flowers,

Midst her tropical palm-covered bowers,
Ter own northern home far away.
Swelling buds burst with love, aromatic,
While birds hover over her way;
AS they sing to the rarest exotic.
Loves musical magical lay.
There the sunshine Is brightest. but

Because of the light of her face.
And the twilight but fingers and Lengths
Regrettlng to part from her grace.
Yet the lingering gold of it's fonting.
Enshrined. sits enthroned in her hair,
And the moon rises out OF the ocean,
Rejecting the light it finds there.
And the white gravelled walkway grows
winter.
Abashed at her purified tread,
While the soft Southern zephyrs blow
caressing her exquisite head
All the earth sings her praise to the ocean.
The sea sends it sounding above.
And the heavens, in mute alteration,
Have deepened the blue of it's love.

After nineteen years OF service in Con-
gross, General Charles II. Grosvenor has
been defeated for denomination. and an
other man is hereafter to represent the
Eleventh Ohio District in the House. The
Generals own county did not give him a
single vote, which fact many might re-
gard as more or less significant In it's
way. There is talk of providing for"
the old gentleman by giving him a nice
post abroad, though no satisfactory evil
dence has been produced to prove that
he exactly merits this constellation. Il.
is true however. that the merit question
does not enter very fully into the work
ings of our consular system. Ii the worst
comes TO the worst. the General could
doubtless make competence from lit
erary pursuits. His Lives of the Presi-

called, by j. Pierpont Morgan and other
