DR.. Charles Manly Discusses the
UNCONVENTIONAL School

AT the meeting last week in Roam |
oke of the Baptis. General Associa-
ton of Virginia. DR.. Chas. Manly
opened the discussion Of the denomi-
national school. The Roanoke Times
reported the following:
The Rev. DR.. Charles Manly. OF
Lexington, was the first speaker on
the report of the Educational Com
mission his special theme being,
The Value of the UNCONVENTIONAL
School"
Dr. Manly admitted that Mr.. Car
uegie has a right to do what he
plcaseS with his money, but we must
not give up our UNCONVENTIONAL
schools. Let us hope that even if
the teachers in these schools do not
have the benefit of the Carnegie
Foundation they may yet have faith
in God for the future and go on with
their work. Interestin religion has
given birth to our best colleges both
for men and women. The deuomina-
tional colleges have provided the
best opportunities for education
when State colleges we're unable
to do anything in education. This
was true in South Carolina in the
decade before 1850. At this period
in the Baptist and Presbyterian
colleges OF the State helped young
men when the State of South Caro-
lima could do and was doing nothing
Two things show the value Of the
denominational college. And first
there is the blessing of the college
upon the denomination itself And
we are bound TO feel q deeper inter
est in a school we have to maintain
than in a school which every body in
the State has 10 support. The col
lege elevates those who help il. a
dollar given to such a college is q
blessing to the one who gives il.
The UNCONVENTIONAL school must pro
vide for intelligent leaderShipin the
denomination. The college mus
send back to the denomination edu
Gated leaders. The teaching in on,
schools should be shot through will
the thought of obligation -ni relu
) tion TO God.

A LESSON FROM LEXINGTON

The Staunton Daily Dispatch OF
Tuesday. in referring to the closing
OF the Virginia Military Institute
and Washington and Lee University
on account OF several cases OF ty
phoid fever, calls attention to the
Importance OF a sufficient water sup
ply in every town and city in order
TO protect the health Of the citizens.
The article is a timely one. and we
reproduce it below.
There are other lessons that may
be drawn from our present misfor-
tune. One is that in the future,
however low the supply may be, not
10 cut off the water from the mains
at any time. The saving or gather
ing Of water by this method is very
slight, and we now know that the
risk is great.
Another lesson: The need OF an
adequate and sufficient supply OF
water at all times. Not only the
quantity but the quality is also i'm
portant. The additional supply
should not be secured from any
sources where any question might
arise as TO its purity or the protec
ton Of its watershed.
From the report OF the expert,
from the State Board OF Health VIII
made a survey OF our present water
shed, there is no pollution Of an.
sort at the springs supplying th
town; the trouble occurring fror
seepage into the mains, causing in
lection.
We feel sure that at no distar
day Lexington will be supplied wit
sufficient water for all purpose.
even in the time OF extreme drougl
as at present
The editorial in the Staunton Di
patch says:
The closing Of the two big schoo
at Lexington, the Washington ar
Lee University and the Virgin
Military Institute, on account of
mild outbreak of typhoid fever, eu
phasizes the importance to any cor
munity OF an abundant supply
pure water. The authorities OF DO
institutions are to be commended
the promptness OF their action
closing the schools before the d
ease had time to reach the porpC
tons OF an epidemic and in facing
unfortunate and unpleasant situati
squarely. 1t is likely that becau
of this action there will be little Fl
ther trouble, and that when the S
dents reassemble after the Chri
mas holiday the disease will ha
been stamped out
No investment that a. town
make is more profitable from evt
point of view, than an investment
good water supply. Ia this I
pect Staunton is extremely fcrtun
There is hardly acnance Of its wa
becoming polluted and in spite of
great drought OF last summer tn
was never the slightest danger {

needed at all times, and we're
face to face with situation, sue

The Wednesday club met yesterday afternoon with Mrs. NJ. l.. Naquin, 3O6 East street
 The house was beautifully decorated with American Beauty roses and sweet peas, whose exquisite fragrance added to the charming hospitality dispensed.
 The first part of the meeting was de- voted to business and a discussion of plans for next Wednesday evening, at which time Mrs, Hammons will act as hostess to the club members and their husbands in a musicale, whose program is to consist of most classical numbers.
 The response to roll call was: "Char- acteristics of Egypt as Portrayed in Ebers Egyptian Princess. v Mrs. Maisch read an instructive paper on Egypt Under Cambyses.

Committee Practically De cides on Plan to Cost
 Less Money
TRUSTEE THINKS
 SITE SUFFICIENT
Latest Plan Would Necessi- tate Bond Issue of Not
 More Than $40,000

As the result of the inspection of the city school property yesterday, by County Superintendent w. o. Kellner, Trustee F. L. Gates, Architect J. H. Holmes and Contractor s. G. Sims, it has been practically decided that a new high school can be built in this city without the necessity of purchasing extra ground and that the new build ing can be built and equipped at a cost of approximately $35,000.
 The present plan is to construct the new high school on the Central school grounds. It is held that there is am pie room on the Central grounds for the accommodation of new high school without interfering with the present athletic field and it is though more than likely that this plan will be car carried out.
 Architect J. H. Holmes has already drawn up preliminary plans for new high school building providing for six class rooms, a large assembly hall, with numerous study, recitation and labora- tory rooms, as well as manual train ing quarters and other essential feat ures.
 The figure of $35,OOO, or $40,OO0 at the outside provides for all of these features, the installation of heating plant in the new building, minor alter ations in the present central school building and the addition of cesspools and sanitary toilets to all of the city schools now in use.
 "'I do not believe that it will be necessary to purchase additional ground for a new high school, as the city is already in possession of suf- ficient ground for the construc ton of new building without mourning the additional expense of from 5000 to $l0,000 for a new site" said Trustee F. l.. Gates, yesterday.
 Central Best Site
 "While there is sufficient ground at the East Globe school for the accom- mOdation of high school and the Hill street school building might be re- placed by high school l am of the opinion that the Central school grounds offer the best site for the construction of new building.
 "At Central the school owns a tract of land much larger than is generally believed and the erection of a high school building there would not over crowd these grounds in the least. This location would have the added advan- tage of being near the athletic grounds, a feature of importance to high school students.
 "I have discussed this matter with a number of Globe people and many are favorable to the Central school loca- tion. I am willing to leave the matter of a location to a committee, but I do not believe, however, that it will be necessary to purchase any addition al ground. n
 It is believed that high school bond issue of from $35,0OO to $4O,OOO will meet with the approval of the people of this city and it is probable that ac- tive preparations for a bond election will be completed within the next few weeks.
