The Virginia Military Institute is
now entering upon its seventY-sec-
ond year, but it shows none of the
signs of age. 1t is in vigorous
growth, and is strong, active and
virile.
1t stands for absolute equality for
all who enter its walls; no circum-
stance of birth or fortune has any
influence in measuring a man here;
every one must stand for what he is
by himself alone.
Again, respect for authority,
amenabihty to discipline, constant
attention to every duty, regular
hours and unfailing exercise-all
these factors have been conductive
in making this school what it is.

Virginia


The Richmond Times Dispatch of
last Sunday issued an educational
section, which gave a comprehen-
siye survey OF the various educa-
tic : i institutions Of Virginia and
nearby States, with letters from the
heads of these various institutions.
Following were the statements
published from the two institutions
in lexington:
WASHINGTON AND LEE
Setting forth the special features
that have made Washington ~ Lee
a success cannot be done in a single
sentence.
| should say, however. that the
chief factor in it's success is its loya
adherence to sincere standard of
work and of moral duty. Sincerity
is the KEYNOTE to the character OF
the great stock that founded the
school. 1t is the keynyte t. the
character OF Washington, who en-
dOwed it, and of Lee, who admins
tered it.
Its ideal is to furnish the best
equipment and the best instruction
by the best teachers. under the
best intellectual, moral and socia
influences. amid the best surround
ings, to choice group OF young
men gathered from the entire ma
ton
These things, chiefly, have made
its success.

With the closing OF the schools In
Gary and East Chicago. w. P. Ray
truant officer for the second district in
Lake County has completed his work
and today sent his annual report to
the superintendent of the State Board
OF Charities and Correction.
The record of Truant officer w. p.
Ray is one that he may well feel proud
of and he has been commended not
only by Judge w. c. MMcMahon, of
Crown Point who sits judge of the
Juvenile court. but by the school sup
erintendents and the members of the
tate Board of Charities as we'll.
Instead of working as an officer. Mr..
Ray in his official duties has operated
more a missionary among the In
corrigible school children and their
parents Instead OF using harsh meas
ures he has made them see their
wrong. and in this way he has saved
them from the disgrace of being sent
to the state industrial school. In Gary
during the school year only twenty
four cases have been filed in the justice
court. OF this number only one fine
has been assessed. Only three boys
have been sent to the Industrial school
and six are now out on probation.
The law gives Mr.. Ray the power
10 cause the arrest of the parents and
school children if they do not attend
school after one official ratification. Ir
many cases Mr.. Ray has visited the
