q Last August the county superintend.
cnt of schools OF Kanawha county. Mr..
Gillespie. arranged "a Code of Ethics
for Teachers and generously gave a
copy to each Of the 1--WE hundred teach.
ers In his county. Since that time he
has had many calls for the little book
from all over the State, and. In fact,
educators from other States have writ.
ten for copy of the booklet. A few
dnys ago the members OF the AIonon.-
gahela Valley Round Table had a
meeting and appointed committee
to formulate a Code OF Ethics for
Teachers to be adopted Mt theik next
meeting in November at Mprgantown.
Mr.. Gillespie is gratificd over the fact
that some of the best educators In the
State are taking hold of this kind OF
work. for he feels that the committee
will get up a book that will be OF more
service to the teachers than the one
he arranged in so short a time. The
thbSAhS. vi |.flE- uDW-

the first educator In the State 10 ar
range a Code of Ethics for Teachers.
The superintendent of Kanawha
county is hoping now that the educa-
tors OF the State will take.up his lat
est and best move. viz: Introduce
district contests in oratory. compost
tion and spelling. and make this a
Statewide movement.
Should his plan for inter.district
contests be adopted 1t will be the third
splendid victory along educational
lines for Mr.. Gillespie in less than one
year. VIZ: uniform Examinations for

sonville Pttsylvania county. His parents
were John Muse Swanson and Catherine
Pritchett. Young Swanson was early put
to school, but at the age of fourteen.
owing to financial difficulties overtaking
his father he was forced to abandon
his studies and go to work on the farm.
He saved enough money later as n
teacher to pay his way for two sessions
a the Virginia Polytechnic Institute, but
was then forced to go back to work. He
went to Danvile. near his old home, and
secured employment as a clerk in a
grocery store, and then attended Ran
dolp}- Macon College for three years TAX

In 1856 he entered the University or
Virginia and took the degree of bachelor

ating from the university he located at
Chatham and began the practice of law
and was successful from the start.
In 1896 he was nominated for Congress
and served in the House of Representa-
tiveS for six terms.
Swanson for ten years was a member
of the post Office and post roads COM
mittee, and for eight years a member
of the ways and means committee.
While a member of the post Office

terested himself especially in the es-
tablishment of n rural free delivery

but one other member OF the post Of
flee committee stood out In two

victory.
Mr. Swanson was elected Governor or
Virginia in 1905 over Judge Lewis tre-
publican) by the largest majority or
any governor since the civil war.
The public school system extending
from the primary school to the college
and university. was greatly stimulated
during his term. He vigorously recon-
meuded and advocated large appr"pri-
ations for the school system, and under
his administration the high schools IN
the state alone increased from al 10
about 800. and many new schoolhouseA
were erected.
