Successful Opening at Virginia

cupied. Last Thursday, the open
ing day, witnessed lO8 new cadets
on the ground, with l75 old men,
giving total of 2s3. The num-
bers now are: New cadets, lilo,
cd men, 1856; total, 800.
Colonel E. w. Nichols, who is
acting superintendent, has bean
at work since July let arranging
for the session just opened. In
addition to his extensive CORES
pondence, necessitated by the
numerous inquiries by prospective
cadets, Colonel Nichols has spent
much of his time looking after the
extensive improvements in pro
gress during the summer. These
improvements consist of the new
heating plant, the new library and
the enlargement of the barracks by
using the old library for cadets
rooms. This last improvement
provides forty. four new rooms.

Washington and Lee Opens with
Large Attendance

Large AttenuHuCe
The 125th session at Washing
ton and Lee University was opened
last Thursday morning, with bright
prospects and increased numbers
of students. The formal exel cises
were held in the University chapel,
beginning at $3.50 o'clock. The
entrance of President Denny and
mem bers of the faculty in cap and
gown lent impressiveness to the
occasion. A large part of the
lower floor was occupied by stu
dents, and the galleries were filed
with ladies and gentlemen. Seated
on the platform were President
Denny, Professors Nelson, Burks,
Staples, Humphreys. Currell,
Campbell, Hogue, Howe, Stevens,
Latane, Long. Farrar, Lauck,
Smith, Howerton, and Urdahl.
The exercises were opened with
the singing of the anthem, ''HOw
Beautiful Upon tie Mountains, -
rendered by special choir. Rev.
W. S. Hammond. pastor of Trinity
Methodist church, read a Strip.
ture selection and offered prayer.
President Denny then briefly ad-
dressed the young men. He spoke
feellngly of the lonelires that the
new students would naturally ex-
perience by reason Of their new
surroundings and the new life upon
which they had entered. His adj
vice to them was that they lose
no time in getting down to hard
work right at the beginning, be-
cause if they permitted themselves
TO fall behind during the first few
weeks of their College course, it
would be next to an uimpossibility
to ever catch up.
In his words of counsel Presi-
dent Denny made public for the
first time letter which he received
several years ago from the mother
of one Of the students who
expected to graduate that COM
mencement. The writer stated that
she was poor and had made many
sacrifices in order that her son
might have the advantages of a
College education. She felt unable
to be present at the commence
II ent when her boy would receive
his degree, but fearing that be
would feel lonely by reason of his
being a stranger in the comnuni-
ty, she had sent by express a box
of flowers and requested that DR.,
Denny have it sent to her son
when his diploma wac handed him.
The pathetic recital of this evil
deuce of mOther-lov to her Toy,
moistened the eye of many of
the sturdy boys in the assembly.
President Denny made the usual
announcements as to the order Of
marticulation and the beginning
of the years work. Following the
chapel exercises, the new men at
once began registering when
they were assigned to their work
for TIE session.
The attendance is large this year
and will probably reach 400. The
number now on the ground ex-
ceeds the total enrolment last
session, which was All.

Lexington ColOred Schools to
Have Graded system

At meeting of the Lexington
School Board last Saturday morn.
ing, at which all tie teachers of
the Lexington colored schools we're
present, 1t was decided to inaugu-
rate a graded course of study liz
the colored schools. To this end
a systematic graded course was
submitted by Mr.. Harrington Wad-
dell, principal of the Lexington
High School, who was requested
by the board to prepare and sub
nit such plan. As Introductory
to the graded course OF study,
Mr.. Waddell submitted the follow
ing remarks:
Gin response to the request
made at the June meeting of your
board, l submit below u graded.
course of study for the Lexington
colored school and some recon
menda lions in regard to the gen
eral reorganization and manage
ment of the school. The work of
the school has been superficial and
without system, and many of the
books used by the pupils have
been too difficult for them, each
teacher running her room as a sep
arate school. In installing q sys-
tematic, graded course of work
many difficulties will arise and the
new principal of the colored school
may expect some dissatisfaction on
the pLrt of pupils and parents, as
the pupils must be graded accord
ing to the knowledge and ability of
each and not by the books they
have used.
"The course is made to cover
eight years work and will give
those who competent a good solid
foundation for higher work and
fully prepare them 70 enter the
Hampton Institute and other high
er Institutions for colored pupils
in the State of Virginia. The
course outlined for each grade is
closely co-ordinated with the next
higher grade and the progress is
steady and systematic in each
study"
The subjects included in the
course are arithmetic, grammar,
reading, Writing, spelling, lang
uage, drawing, geography, history.
physiology and Eewory work.
Suggestions were made for the
continuance of instruction in sew
Ing. which has teen taught for
several years. Some kind of man
ual work for the boys was also
recommended.
The report closed with the sug-
gestion that some regulation
should be adopted to improve the
attendance of pupils, requiring
some system of reporting absences;
the holding of teachings meetings
Tor the discussion of difficult prob
lens; the sending Of reports to
parents every eight weeks showing
the progress of the pupils; the
giving of certificates of promotion
from one grade to another, and the
comforting of diplomas of gradua-
tion upon all pupils who satisfac-
tOrily complete the work of the
highest grade.
