TIE PEOPLES SCHOOLS.
(Richmond Times-Dispatch.)

The common school system of Vir-
ginia las many needs, but the first and
foremost Is more money. We are not
paying ourteacherS, our division super
intendents, or the higher school officials
fair wage. We are NOT paying enough
to get full term and an efficient SER
vice. 1t is estimated that proper edu-
ca ION Of the average pupil should cost
ABOUT $40 per session of nine months.
The sum expended in Virginia is about
IS % per pupil. The average cost of
public school education in the United
States Is II cents per pupil per day. II
New England it is p cents; in the South
ern States as a whole it is AZ cents; in
Virginia about cents.
We have not verified these figures,
but they come from a reliable source,
and we believe that they are approx
mately correct.
But no matter what other States
are doing, it is certain that Vir-
GINA is not spending as much as she
should spend, or as she is able to spend,
for the education of the children The
school fund must be largely increased.
and it would be, if only real and person
al property were assessed throughout
the State at its fair market value, as
the Constitution requires. That impor-
tact question should be settled before
the General Assembly adjourns. When
all property is fairly assessed for taxa
ton, the greatest of our school problems
will have been solved in great part. fol-
adequate school funds would then be
forthcoming, and with the money ir
would be a simple matter to provide
each county with an efficient superin-
tendent and competent corps of teach
ers.
That each county should have its own
superintendent and that he should de-
vote his whole time to the service is, ir
our opinion, a matter of prime import
ance. A few of the smaller counties
might consolidate, but as a rule there is
abundant work in each county to give
one superintendent all that he can do. il
his work is properly done.

in the wholesale trade in alcohol and
brandy. yet the bill to this end has not
been introduced in the reichstag 1t

preparatory to laying before the reich
stag. but it was then withdrawn and re-
ferred back to the bundesrath for revi-
sion. The same fate apparently over
took the bill providing for a stamp tax
on cigars
The "Bloc" is Divided.
The national liberals and the radicals are
opposed to the extension of the system of
indirect taxation. believing that this would
bear more heavily upon the lower classes
| than upon the rich. while the conserva.
| tives demand that the empire leave all di.
rect forms of taxation to the individual
states. The two wings of Chancellor von
Buelow's bloc thus disagree radically
regarding ways and means of raising the
necessary revenue to meet the increased
cost of the army and navy
