Public High School Building.

Editor Hera'd.-In your last issue
YOU ask "When we complete our sys-
tenn Of sidewalks what public i'm.
proyement should next engage the at
tention Of Farmville?"
This question is easily answered, IN
deed it has been frequently answered
by strangers visiting our town to
whom we'have been compelled TO adj
nit that owing to the towns neglect
the unsightly, unsafe, unsanitary
brick building Of Jail like appearance
was what we called our Public High
school.
To charge that the town has been
neglected. in the matter Of its public
school is doubtless distasteful to the
average citizen, and perhaps it would
be falrer to say that the town has
failed to properly appreciate its i'm
portance to the community. But thal
as it may, the fact is that this want OF
appreciation, this failure to provide
suitable and adequate building, thi'
failure to do what other and smaller
and SIS able towns have done, amounts
to positive neglect, and stands out as
shame to our community.
While the school building is owned
by the State and is under the contro
of the District School Board, yet thu
school is to all intents and purposes al
institution Of the town, and as such II
i'm some measure financially supporte'
by the town, but there all interes
apparently ceases.
No one questions the necessity foi
and the great benefit derived from
graded streets and good sidewalks
but TO continue making these improve
ments TO the entire exclusion OF an,
work along the line Of providing
suitable and adequate public schoo
building, one safe, sanitary and mod
ern in design and equipment, is gros
neglect Of our duty to the youth OF on
town.
Our Public School building shout
he one Of the very best in the towT
one that would be credit to the com
munity and to which we could poir
with pride as other towns do.
1 hope, Mr.. Editor, that public II
terest will be aroused in this matte
and that sentiment in its favor WI
soon crystalize sufficiently to open II
way TO make amends for our long me-
loot WM. y. WILSON.

LEARNING AND RELIGION.

Roger A. Pryor, Of New York, adj
dressed the Alumni Of Hampden-sid-
ney. from which we make the follow
ing extract:
"Gentlemen, every morning ana
evening during his college course the

b,tual exercises as by her final and

Mater recognizes a relation between
learning and religion and links To-
gether by indissoluble bond the inter
