STAT { ARTILLERY
. in FINE CONDITION
Inspection Highly Favorable as to
Care Taken Of Equip
ment.
II oWITzERs COMMENDED
Arnorics Needed BY Batteries at
Norfolk and Ports
mouth.

Official inspections OF the F'irs
Battalion OF Virginia Field Artiller,
show that all OF the three batteries
are in excellent condition. The inspec
ton was made by Colonel o. b. Nit
\ cham. chief of ordnance for the De
partment of the East, United State!
Army.
Battery A CRichmond Howitzers) Is
highly complimented in that there Is
practically no criticism Of any kind. In
response to the question as to the gen.
cral condition OF equipment, Colonel
Nritcham says that 1t is In excellent
order. This battery Is commanded by
Captain William NJ. Myers.
Coming to general comment, the in
spccting officers says that the battery
is well situated in good armory, and
that 1T Is understood that suitable adj
ditions will be made at an early date,
which will give all the facilities neces-
sary for the proper housing of field
battery. A caretaker for the equipment
has been provided for the Howitzers
since the last inspection. and Colonel
Mitcham says that conditions show
great Improvement and emphasize the
need of such skilled man with all
the batteries in service with the mill
tia.
The almost endless technical dues.
tons. covering every Imaginable de-
tall of the condition and serviceable-
ness OF the equipment. are answered to
the effect that conditions are satisfac-
tory
Other Batteries.
The equipment belonging to Company
B, of Norfolk Captain Branch john
SOM, is In very good" condition. This
battery also has secured the. services
of caretaker. 1t has, says Colonel
NTitcham no suitable amory. Quarters
are occupied In market building and
the available storage room is entirely
too small. 1t is recommended that
suitable armory be provided.
Referring to the situation with Bat
terry G, CT Portsmouth, the same re-
commentator is made. The guns and
munitions are In one-story brick
building while the personal equipment
of the men Is on the second floor of
a market building, one mile away. The
Interior fittings of this market hall
1t is stated are of wood. putting the
personal equipment in great danger of
fire. IT is requested that the State of
Virginia provide a. suitable armory.
Here. too. caretaker has charge OF
the property. Condition of equipment
is good.
In the cases of both the Norfolk and
the Portsmouth batteries, the techni-
cal questions show favorable condi-
tons throughout.
1t may not be generally known that
Virginia. has more field artillerymen
than any other State, with only one
or two exceptions. Each battery's
equipment represents about 100000
worth of government property.

books was in three sections. one OF
which was prepared by Governor
Swanson, one by superintendent Egg

Bids Are Requested.
Its text is as follows:
Resolved ID, That the Secretary OF

The boards experimen. with primary
and grammar grade books has resulted
in saving of more than 30 per cent
in cost to the parents of the state
This means total of from $4,000 &c
$4,000 a year. which would otherwise
go into the pockets of book publishers
Considering this fact, it would seem
likely that the single list will be ex-
tended to the high schools
For several reasons publishers are
at much greater expense under tile
multiple list. and are therefore obliged
to demand higher prices. II lists are
approved. from which county and city
school boards may select books at
their option. the publishers must en-
gage in a scramble in every locality,
and must be reprevented on each oc-
casion. The tendency therefore is to
make a much lower price for books.

years, without further expense.
Besides there enters the immense
cost of sample books. There are APP
proximately $50 high schools in Nir-
GINA. If copies of every schoolbook
have to be presented to every school
principal and members of county and
city boards, the expense is very great.
and publishers make the price high to
cover this loss. With single book
list. selected by the state Board of
Education. samples need be sent only
to members of that body. In fact, in
the resolution adopted Yesterday pub
fishers are expressly notified that SO
far as getting contracts from the State
Board are concerned. which means IL
the single book list Is adopted, samples
need be sent to no other persons than
