Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
KING GEORGE. VA, March Ia
There seems to be an awakening OF
through III this seetaeH- of
the country in higher education. and
the recent visit Of e. II. Russell. State
examiner of public schools. gave a
new impetus to the cause.
Mr.. ]. Aubrey Eewbill. president OF
the King George Teachers Assocta-
ton, Is making strenuous efforts to
have the schools in the Shiloh Dis
trict consolidated into a first class
graded school, preparatory TO high
school at Shiloh. Superintendent
Coakley and the patrons of the va
rious schools In that district heartily
cooperate with Mr.. Newbiil In thtl
endaaYor. except the people OF Index,
who refuse to listen to this PROPOSE
tition. and insist that q large graded
school shall be established at Index
where work preparatory to high
school work can be done.
An advanced school Is much needed
at present. The pupils. who should
be in q high school. are deprived o,
that advantage.
At Oak Grove, Westmoreland coun.
ty. the Improvement OF public schools
Is uppermost in the minds OF TIM
people Mt this time. At recent meet
ing Of the school board, with Super
intendent George Murphy present, ths
proposition to erect q large gradee
school building was discussed, ant
there Is but little doubt that In thu
near future this will be done. A new
school house IL also to be built be

OUR GREATEST WEAKNESS

So long as the public rural school term is only four or five months, instead of at least eight or nine, it is not worth while to look further for the greatest need of the South as regards her future development. We repeat that the greatest need of Southern people is education, and by this we do not mean education in the science and practice of agriculture alone. but that education which creates de- sire for knowledge for the pur- pose of using it in living better lite that education which trains the mind to think and creates higher ideals and desires.
