Charles Moore a Football Star.

In the football game between
Virginia Military Institute and
Georgetown at Washington last
Saturday, the lighter V. NJ. /. team
made a fine showing, holding their
heavier opponents to IA To 6 score
and being the first Southern team
to score against Georgetown this
season.
Charles Moore, son of Hon. A.
Moore Jr., of BerryvilIe, playing
right halfback on the V. NJ. |.
team, led his team in brilliant work.
The Washington Sunday Star
featured him with a front-page
photograph in action, and among
other tributes to his good work:
There was one man on the
Institute team who overshadowed
all the others by his brilliant work.
Halfback Moore was the star of
the game. There was no man on
either team who was as continually
in the limelight as the lanky Vir-
ginian. Kicking long low punts
that were hard to handle, making
good gains with the ball around
the ends and through the line. and
playing an excellent game ON the
defensive, he proved himself the
most valuable man in his teams
lineup"
The Stars sporting editor is one
of the Georgetown coaches. and
his praise of the Berryville boy :
work shows that is was richly de-
served.

In the COURIER of two weeks

loss Of some valuable jewelry by

that no suspicion had been attached
to anyone of the "Kentmere"
servants.
In writing to the COURIER. Mrs.

years, and | deprecate any account
that could possibly reflect upon
their honesty and loyalty.

years of faithful and conscientious

higher commendation of a servant
than Mrs. Gilpin's words and it is
real pleasure to assure her that
we had no intention of rejecting
unduly upon her servants in any
way.

Christianity is Social Service.

Ferry on the turnpike leading TO
Paris, stands new school building.
The object of this school is
social service. In this particular
instance the service is TO be rem
dered directly to the children.
The rector of Christ Church of
MillwOod has for several years
rendered what help his time would
permit TO the people generally,
regardless of creed or denomina-
tion.
The greatest immediate need as
seen by one glance at the forlorn
appearance of the outside of the
public school building.
A talk with the Trustees of Chapel
District developed the fact that it
was the very best the present state
of public school finances would
permit.
In taking the question up with
the citizens of the school neighbor-
hood a strong spirit was dis
covered for better facilities, better
training, longer school term.
This was not all talk. but was
backed up with reliable pledges of
money, materials and labor TO the
extent of over 5000. Mr.. Thomas
-. Lee and Mr.. Luther Royston
offered an acre as a site for the
school. Mr.. Lees property was
selected.
The proposition of fulfilling the
earnest desire of these people and
rendering service of untold value
TO the coming generations was
presented to the members of Christ
Church.
Loyal and generous friends soon
came forward and so on August |
the building was begun by Mr..
w. b. Crawford, Contractor. of
Millwood.
School was opened on October 3
with one teacher and nineteen
scholars-by the end of the first
week 20 presented themselves. A
canvass showed that almost 40
wished to enter. 4 generous
friend came forward and offered
To maintain another teacher.
So at the end of the second week
we had oteachers installedwith an
average attendance of 33 children.
The school is graded as a public
school would be, provided for four
primary and three grammargrades.
The ultimate intention is To give
the children training along three
lines-moral training first, intel
leetual second and manual third.
The first two have been provided
for, the third is yet to be worked
out. When this is accomplished
the course shall include some
instruction in orcharding, for it is
believed that these sturdy boys
and girls are capable of accom-
plishing much, If properly trained
and directed, toward making the
western slope of the Blue Ridge
one of the most profitable and
productive parts of Clarke county.
The school, called Valley View,
because of the beautiful view of
the Valley from this point, is the
property of the Trustees of Christ
Church, Millwood, Va, is support
ed by voluntary contributions from
the church anu is under the
immediate care of the rector.
This school presents one form of
practical Christianity in social SER
vice. 1t is q project in its pureSt
form, which from the writer's
point of view is Christianity in its
highest form.
