Especial to The Richmond Nirginian.
CHESTER, June 29.-~The cause OF
public education has made considera
Bile progress In this small town. sit
mated about midway between the ell
ties of Richmond and Petersburg,
SINCE it's inception in the year 1880
when a small school was built, with
the most crude and insufficient equip
ment The school began with one
teacher and limited Attendance, with
about six months session Few
years later a larger and better equipp-
ed school was built, accommodating
about nifty pupils, with two rooms
and two teachers.
In 1904 the general assembly or
Virginia made an appropriation to ga
tabiish at least one high school in
every county of the State, and the cit
izens uf this place, with the Bermuda
aud Dale district school boards seized
the opportunity, and raised the neees-
caty funds to materially enlarge the
school building here, and made ample
equipment fer the purpose, and estab-
lishci tbs first high school of the
county.
When tho general assembly of 1907
08, made a provision to establish the
agricultural high scheols--one in each
congressional district--the district
school boards assisted the Ber-
lntlda district school board, with the
aid Of some of the citizens OF Ches-
ter 10 secure the location of the third
congressional agricultural high school
at this place.
