THE HIGH SCHOOL BUILD.
ING PROPOSITION


columns several communications
concerning the proposition of the
Aun Smith Academy trustees to
turn over to the town that valuable
property for school purposes, on
condition that suitable building
be erected for the Lexington High
School. The terEs are not hard
to comply with. Lexington lie in
need of a safe and convenient
High School building, and the
acceptance of this proposition
will provide the town with what
lie absolutely needed.
The Lexington High School has
grown steadily for the past ten
or twelve years and is now one OF
the largest of any town OF the
State. The Virginia School Re
port for 19O6.O7 gives the follow
ing enrolment for various High
Schools:
Covington 80, Bedford 81, South
Boston 40, Christiansburg S6, Suf-
folk go, Luray A, Manassas 81,
Pulaski So, Woodstock 80, Front
Royal 40, Waynesboro 81, Will
liamsburg 30, Harrisonburg 90,
Lexington &c. Big Stone Gap 81,
Salem II, Buena Vista had 40 and
Staunton 80.
There have been So full gradu'
ates of the Lexington High School
during the last 10 years. There
are 80 old High School boys as
students at Washington and Lee
during the present session and
seven at the Virginia Military In
stitute. Several of the girls have
gone to Randolph Macon Woman's
College and ether institutions and
have taken high stand.
There is every indication that
Lexington can secure 81, 10000
annually from the State for normal
work in our High School If the
proposed new building is erected
Lexington should have the Central
High School for Rockbridge Coun
ty, drawing pupils from the other
high schools after one or two
years. work.
Various architects, after care
full examination of the old Ann
Smith Academy building, have
pronounced it at present unsafe
and state that any money spent on
repairing it as that much wasted.
They say the only thing to do is
t. tear it down to the ground ard
put up new building.
Shall we not accept the liberal
offer of the Ann Smith Board ard
put up tGiloing suitable to the
needs of the High School ard an
ornament to the town? Those who
have nc ed TO Lexington durrg
the past fiva or six years have been
drawn here by the advantages OF
our schools. The Hi h School is
one of the best invest nents the
town has made in recent years. II
the offer of the Academy Board is
not accepted and new building |
erected, the High School will be
without home, and the town will
have lost an opportunity for de-
velcpment that it will probably |
never have again.

GAME PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
Contemplate Liberating 100 Pairs of
Hungarian Partridges This Fall.

The Delaware Game Protective
Association contemplates the purchase
for distribution this fall, after the
hunting season is over, of from so to
100 pairs of Hungarian partridges.
These birds are highly recommended
by the Department of Agriculture,
being extremely hardy and prolific,
and particularly adapted for sections
of this country were severe winters
are experienced, as is often the case
here. They are twice the size of
Bob White, and therefore have
sufficient strength to work themselves
out of the deep sows where the
latter would succumb Well
watered woodland tracts in the
vicinity favorable lands are the best
suited, but the partridge is easily
pleas ed and can practically make its
living anywhere. There are some
but few birds which so strictly
and here to their once selected abode
as do the Hungarian partridges.
| Even their offspring do not wander
away. AS for sport in the field,
these partridges cannot be surpassed.
They are more swift in flight than
our quail and will lie much closer
to cover, giving the dogs a better
chance to range, nose and hold.
When flushed, these birds fly like
shot from a shell and at different
angles, hence they remove the
privileges of pot hunters of empty
ing both loads of leads into thei1
covy and perhaps kill half or more,
which is the easiest way of exter-
minating game. 1t requires a gooc
marksman under favorable conditions
to bag more than two of these swif
birds to a raise.

could be used over and over again,
ice free from bacteria could be made
and every day ton or more of it
strewn on 1900 feet of coiled pipe at
the towers base would give not iced
water but cool, palatable water pure
as the limpid spring that bubbles on
many a farm in the Necks. And so it
goes, first we waste our timber and
next we waste our water, and let me
tell you one thing, that the high
salaried electricians of the present
day do not know very much more
about the genesis of electricity
than did the boy of forty years ago
when he too, produced it by stroking
the cats back in his mothers dark
ened hallway. Then another thing,
it has been demonstrated in close
fsted countries like Germany and
notably near Berlin, Prussia, that
with properly arranged sewage and
dilute 49 sulphuric acid the valuable
salts of phosphoric acid, potash
and ammonia can be just as
easily recovered from that sewage as
the granulated article from the bone
mills and become a source of profit
| to the town. There has never been any
doubt in my mind that Smyrna could
easily have outstripped her sister
towns if her leading men instead of
being satisfied with a yellow ned
supper, and the after gossip on store
boxes had bent the mselves to the
advancement of the towns interest
by doing simple things in simple way
to save money. There is no doubt
the blessings of a municipal deb
resting on the town for the so-calleC
improvements lately made, which
like matrimony the taxpayers have
time to think over, and which lik'
the waste of timber, might hav,
been avoided.
But this is not reminiscent. To d.
so we must visit the graveyard
where rest the honored dead, an
how many of the brave men and fai
women who fifty years ago were tn
familiar figures on the streets an
gave a name and a standing to a.

time and as the winds now rio

GREAT YEAR FOR sHAD HAULs
One Million Small Fish Are Deposited
in The Delaware Tributaries

in The Delaware Tributaries
The Fish and Game Commission of
New Jersey has received exhaustive
reports showing that the shad season
this year was better by 100 per cent.
than last year, and the catches of
this cheap food fish greater than for
seven years past. But the commits
sion is not content with the season
and l, ZOO, 900 small shad have been
deposited in the waters of the Della
ware river, Rancocas creek and
COhansey river by the fish wardens.
Besides the New Jersey members of
the Tri-State Fisheries Commission
of New Jersey, New York and Penn
sylvania, are getting ready to meet
the commissioners of other states,
so as to take up the matter of pur-
flying the Delaware river and other
rivers where the shad run and spawn.
1t is the purpose of the New Jersey
Fish and Game Commission to make
the Delaware river so full of shad
that the markets of New York city
will be glutted with fish from here,
and yet the large consignments have
no effect upon the local markets.
The Hudson rivre has about given up
her last shad, and this state is anxious
that further pollution of the Della
ware river shall stop, so that the
state may have the profitable New
York market for her shad industry.
The Federal Bureau asks that speci-
mems of the dead fish be forwarded tc
Washington for examination, and ex.
presses its willingness to do anything
possible to protect the fish from
further fatalities.
