Big Saving 10 School Patrons

Mr.. NJ. NJ. Lynch, Superinten
dent of Schools for Frederick
county, returned last week from
Richmond, where he has been at.
tending a meeting of the Virginia
Board OF Education. Of which he is
a member When seen by news
paper reporter Mr.. Lynch stated
that the Board had decided TO ask
for bids for supplying books for
the public schools, the bids To be
handed in by book houses between
March Is and April 10 next. All
bids will have to be submitted on q
.Single-list basis, the multiple list
system having passed away early
in the year.
With the opening of the next
school year the change will become
effective, but there will he no ef-
fort to make the entire change at
once. The best books now in the
hands of the pupils will be used
but when new books are needed
those on the new single list will be
purchased in every instance. Mr..
Eggleston and the members of the
board will undertake To prevent the
hardship of buying all new books
at once.
The decision for single list
was virtually reached when terms
of members of the Board of Edu-
cation expired and their successors
chosen, the multiple list men going
out and single list men coming in.
The people of the state had ex-
pressed themselves in the matter.
and they demanded the single list
of books.
Under the new order of things
books of the same grades can be
used in any county or city In the
state for the same studies. The
saving to the people of Virginia
will be enormous.

Equine "Stunts" AmuSe

1t was not Horse Show Day at
Berryville last Sunday but little
bay mare of Gray Williams. color

speed on the course from the Mill
wood tollgate to Town Square. The
little mare was attached to a
vehicle Of two wheels, but that
didn't bother her when she took
1t in her head to try the speed
limits. In passing the tollgate the
notion struck her to make some
amusement for those Of BerryvilIe
who had not taried over their Sun
day breakfasts. so she grabbed the
bit in her mouth and came down
the street at pace that Bob"

street the little mare fell, and be-
fore she could gain her pedals and
begin over again, there were three

rather ungallant manner. When
Gray arrived, she concluded To 90

the greatest sufferer-and it only
lost two spOkes.

gallop, did that gait down the river

was the loss of many chains along
