of what marvellous results the city

The city should be proud OF the
schools for many reasons.
First among them is the fact that

buildings and more equipment. of the
efforts of the school board to improve
the pupils welfare by physical in

teach children. Frequently complaint
has been made against our public
schools that the massing of children
in grades prevents the development
of individuality and the advancement
of exceptional pupils. and gives little
opportunity for the backward pupil.
The Richmond public schools are
meeting this complaint by the intro

by which children are divided into
three groups. according to mentality.
One group contains those children
who are able to complete the work OF
the grade and a part of the next

thus In year complete a year and

Education has been very often de-

doubt. but as there are some phases
OF 1t which have not been emphasized,

to present my views
Man is q triune being combining
physical. mental and moral capaci-
ties which must be equally submitted
to the influences Of education to pro-
duce Well trained. evenly balanced
being. This exception, however
should be noticed. that while there
are limitations on the physica. there
are none, so far as ] have been able
TO discover, on the mental and moral
capacities.
Education means the development
OF the capabilities. the physical up
to their limit. and the mental and
moral by an ever expanding and pro-
gressife system. system which
makes these capacities stronger to-
day and enables them to make great

Complicates the Situation.

Washington, D. c., March 22.-The
seizure of arms and ammunition by
alleged agents of the Mexican Gov
ernment at San Antonio and the in
vasion of Texas by Mexican insured
tos brought the Mexican situation
forcibly to the attention of President
Taft again to-day.
Reports were received from Gov
eminent agents in Texas which are
believed to have contained matters
for grave reflection upon the part OF
the Cabinet at to-day's meeting.
Clouds suddenly doomed up obscur-
ing the situation which had com
meneed to clear yesterday. Presi-
dent Taft is said to be determined
not to precipitate delicate situation
by the movement of large body Of
troops toward the border, even in the
guise of "manoeuvres," but the re
ports which have come in since yes
terday may compel a change of atti
tude.
