Negro School Teachers

One OF the State examiners estimates
that at least one-half OF the coloreai
teachers Of Virginia are unlicensed
emergency teachers. This condition
has made a very unfavorable impress
sion upon the board OF examiners.
Some are advocating separate examln-
ations and lower grade certificates TO
lessen the clerical work of the examin-
ers and at the same time secure more
licensed colored teachers. No serious
distinction has yet been made between
the white and colored teachers as TO
certificates; but we predict that unless
there are signs OF Improvement sucn

ing;
At the meeting OF the board OF diIec-
tors Of the Bank OF Raphine, Mr.. Walter

will urge him to stand for the NOM
nation for Congress next year, il
opposition to the incumbent, Re.
preventative Hal d. Flood, of APP

No one seems to be urging that
Mr.. Flood has not made a faithful
representative. but some OF the
friends of the Attorney. General
are saying that it would be II
graceful tribute for his people to
tender him the nomination for Con-
gress, thus permitting him to
round out a long and honorable
public career In the national House.
The matter has net been brought
to the attention of Major Anderson
in any very definite shape, though
il Is known that he has many
friends in the district who would
like to see him run. MAJOR Ander-
son was a gallant leader in the Con
federate army, having been Grip
pied for life in one of the most
strenuous battles Of the war. DE
has served in both branches of the
General Assembly of Virginia; was
J a member of the recent Constitu

twice Attorney General of the
State, having declined this year tt
