SeUarate Town and District.

The COURIER is informed that n
h;n has been introduced in the
LEGISLATURE to make the Town OF
Rorrvyille 4 separate voting pre-
cinct. snd to separate II from
both Battletown and Longmarsh
districts. i'm each of which portion
Of the Town now lies
We nave not seen copy of the
biIlinquestion, but we unreservedly
agree with it. and urge every
citizen Of the Town to do likewise.
The Corporation of Berryville
has no right to dominate Battle
town district, unless it pays it,
share of the road taxes--something
il has not done.
II the citizens of this Town
oppose separation from Bsttletown
district. and defeat that measure.
they will find themselves face to
face with road taxes.
Bsttletown district should have
Nh voice i'm the Towns affairs. for
the Town is not contributing To
the support or improvement of the
District.
In fact. there is not one sane or
sensible reason why the Town
should remain in either Bsttletown
or Longmarsh districts.
We believe this, too:
Thsta bill should be passed Civ
ing the citizens of the Town the
right TO hold sn election on the
question of extending the Corporate
Limits Of the Town.
The Town should be extended to
the foot of Cemetery Hill; to the
TolI-Gate at the West End; to tho
Toll-Gate at the East End; to
include Josephine" on the South.
All Of these sections receive the
benefit of fire and police protec-
ton. yet pay nothing into the Town
Treasury. Why notl
And speaking of the extension of
the Town limits. we call your
attention to the fact there Is q Toll
Gate at the edge of Town on the
East; another less than a mile away,
on the Western edge of Town.
Doesn't the law provide that Toll
Gates shall not be nearer than five
miles to each other; or words to
that effectl
Mr.. Grigsby, look into this, and
see what you can discover.

IL is with regret that we note
any disposition ON the part If the
Legislature to abolish the State
Board of School Examiners.
While 1t is true that the resolu-
tion of Judge Martin Williams
only requests the Committee ON
Schools and Colleges to get infor-
nation on the subject. he. while
admitting that the Department of
Public Instruction considers them
invaluable. gives it as his ndivid ual
opinion that they are not now
necessary since the Division Super
lntendents have been improved.
The work of the Board of
Examiners has been, and will
always be. largely constructive;
that of Division Superintendents
largely administrative. The more
efficient the administrative officers
are. the larger and better results
will be obatined from the construc-
tive work of these men.
The work of the Examiners
covers the whole State. Their
outlook covers the whole States
needs. The work of the division
superintendent is largely local.
There can be no real unifcstion of
the entire system without the aid
of the men whose visions are
broadened by their travels, and
who carry from one community to
another the best that they find any,
where. This has been one of the
best features of their work so far.
We are rather surprised at this
backward position of Judge Will
liams who is the patron of several
excellent school measures. He
puts it on the ground of retrench-
ment. No large business concern
ever begins retenchment by elimi-
mating its efficient constructive
forces. The following are a few
OF the results obtained through
this board as given by a prominent
educator who has been in a position
TO follow their work.
They have raised the standard of
professional requirements for
teachers by providing a modern
and efficient system of certification;
they have helped teachers in the
field by suggestions as to methods
and management and courses of
study; they have revived county
and district teachers Institutes;
they have assisted in raising teach
ers salaries; they have created
strong public sentiment and inter-
est in schools; they have raised
large amounts by private subscrip-
tions for the erection of public
school buildings. We are told that
they were instrumental in 1909 in
raising S2O5, 200 from private
sources-more than twenty times
the alleged cost of the board.
They have led in the consoIida-
ton of schools, in the erection of
modern sanitary school houses, in
improving the teaching force and
in many other matters unnecessary
to itemize. Surely men who have
done these things can be of further
service, and they should be re-
tanned. charlottesville Progress.
