SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 90. 1907,
THE PUBLIC scHooLs-MoRg
ROOM IS NEEDED.

Excellent evidence OF tho fact that
the population Of Newport News Is
ever growing larger Ia found In the
rolls of tho city public schools for tho
present session. At this time there
are over 1900 pupils enrolled In tho
schools, more by 800 than the maxi
mum total enrolment for any proyi-
Gus year IN the history OF tho system.
And n child must be seven years old
To gain admttancc into the schools
now, Whereas few years ago tho
Inv permitted children OF five to en-
ter, and there were hundreds of tots
In the lower grades who spent their
time singing and playing with colorcd
bits Of cloth.
In the estimation of population,
1900 school children mean more
here than In other cities. for 1t Is n
we'll known fact that there are more
Young men and men without their
families in Newport News than In any
other place OF It's size IN the South.
Mention OF the marked increase In
tho number of pupils to be accommo7
dated in the public schools recalls to
mind the fact that tho city council has
never acted upon tho request of tho
school board for an appropriation with
which to provide an additional build.

alton been made when II was asked
for last year, the needed building
would have been constructed ere this,
and the congestion which is hamper

1t is all very well for the councilmen
to insist upon economy In the conduct
OF tho schools, and to see to Il that
they do not provide money to Ike
spent carelessly or improperly, but
when the question of furnishing room
enough for every boy or girl Of the
school ago who wants TO enter the
city schools arises. thcro is but ono
thing TO do. The money must be pro
vided.
According to the reports of Super
intendent Morton to the trustees

in the city is filled to its capacity.

ORIGIN of Sunday,

Sunday. us the word implies. IS Sun
day-the day of the sun. Men wor-
SHIPPED the sun for long time before
they began to worship God, and Sun
day was the day on which tho source
OF light and heat received their ndora-
ton. On this day Christ's resurrec-
flon Is supposed to have taken place;
hence the Sunday became the worship
day OF the Christians. 49,.

GOVERNMENT SUGAR
MILLS IN QUEENSLAND

When some twenty-five years ago
the Queensland government agreed to
give state aid to a number of sugar
factories it became at once a problem
as to what the final result would be.
Our readers are familiar with the fact
that Dr. Walter Maxwell, a resident
of our own state and chief chemist at
our sugar experiment station was
some years ago called from Hawaii to
Queensland to organize a sugar ex-
pertinent station there. This accom-
plished and in successful operation and
a number of the sugar factories built
with state aid being in default in their
payments, DR.. Maxwell was designat-
ed by the government to take charge
of them and at the present time is
doing what he can to rehabilitate
these crippled factories.
Among these Queensland central
factories there stands one, however,
the Racecourse Central Mill Co.,
which, according to the Mackay Stan
dard, is in its twenty-first year of life
and now come of age, and has made
a very positive success under the
same governmental conditions that
prevailed for the less successful fac
tories. The Racecourse factory has
maintained the excellence of it's plant
and acquired some $4,000 worth of
land and it has paid off to the govern
ment the final amount of its indebted
ness, which thus becomes a historic
incident in the record of the sugar in
dustry in Queensland. The Standard
says that the Racecourse mill has,
practically speaking. come of age and
celebrated its twenty-first birthday
most fittingly and has now come into
a valuable estate free of all incum-
brances.-Louisiana Planter.
