a recent visitor to the Virginia
schools, delivering lecture to the
teachers on the date of his visit.
Prot. Winship expressed much
enthusiasm over his visit to the Vir-
ginia schools and intends to write
up the system for the Boston Journ-
al of Education. He made a care.
full inspection of the new Technical
High School building and pro.
nounced it among the best planned
and best built school structures
that he had visited in his travels
over the country.
Hon. Geo. B. Alton, State High
School Board Inspector, accomp-
anied DR.. Winship and also briefly
addressed the teachers. Mr.. Alton
advised the teachers to stick to the
standard school subjects that had
been found the best to whet the
mental faculties sharp. He had
grave doubts as to whether a school
could properly give credit for base.

DR.. Winship. He thought all sub.

Monday succeeded in that capacity

Mr.. NASGAIT. LOSES:
HIS: SALARY GRAB
Supreme Court Decides Law. Creating, Of.
flee Of Auditors County Examiner
IS Unconstitutional,

What We trust may the closing
chapter in the long drawn out fight
of the "Auditor's County Examiner"
against the Virginia school system
was enacted on Friday last, when in
supremescourt Judge Lewis handed
down Adhesion declaring, the law
creating thaofhce unconstitutional,
az a natural result of which decision
Mr.. A. J. Wasgatt, who has drawn
the salary attachment, will lose
the grab that went with the office.
However, whatever may become
of Mr.. Waegatt, he will have a re-
membrance in this city in connec-
ton with the attempt to prove the
"graft" charges against the school
board, and the wondrous report so
filled with inuendoes and nasty
covered attacks upon the board and
the management of the district, be-
ing assisted in the compilation of
this work by the more or less honor
able Captain Theodore III. James, of
Gary, Indiana, who represented the
steel corporation in the premises,
The instigation of this report was
laid at the door of certain former
Virginian in reply to this report
published at the request of the
school board, reply which was
plain. and direct and which must
have been filled with truth, mas
much as no attempt has ever been
made, to have the charges proven,
although we have remembrance
of the gentleman in question SAIL
ing. into our sanctum a few days
after the publication and asking us
"if we were protected" in the pub
lication of the report and accompa.
nying reply.
Following the publication of Was
gatt's report and the reply to came
the school board called upon the
state examiner for a report on con-
ditions of the school finances, with
the result that Mr.. J. N. Gayner
spent five or six weeks in thorough
ly examining the books, bills and
vouchers, finding no "graft," but
finding a clerical error of ninety.
seven cents in period covering
seven years and the handling of up
wards of a half nnillions oIlars. =:
Mr.. Gayner has since referred
other districts in the state to Vir-
ginia as district having a good
business system.
The school board, following the
submission of the state examiners
report, through the attorney gen.
eral brought action in the state
supreme court to oust Mr.. Wasgatt,
and they "got his goat"
The decision is based upon the
contention that the creation of the
Office was special legislation, inas-
much as it applied only to counties
of over 100000 population and con-
tanning an area of 5000 square miles
or more. These conditions exist
only in St. Louis county. The dec,-
sion is not displeasing TO honest
Virginians who have an interest in
the welfare of our schools, and
means in effect that in future the
people of the ranges will be per-
mitted to conduct their school
system without "official" interfer-
ence, prompted by an evident desire
on the part of disgruntled educat-
ors to "get even" with others for
making success where failure
marked their own path or by inter-
ests who contend that they own the
air as we'll as the earth in this
northern section.

Some measure of comfort can be
obtained in the intense heat spells
which occur at intervals through the
summer, by noting that even when
the death toll is high, it is an exceed
ingly small percentage of any given
total population. For instance. the
twenty who succumbed in Greater
New York the other day made but
an infinitesimal fraction of the mill
lions forming the population. AS a
matter of fact, even this mortality
which does exist could be reduced by
more care of individuals for them
selves and more prudent attention to
heat conditions. 1t goes to prove that
nature provides endurance for I'M
usual exactions if people are observ-
ant enough Of the ordinary laws OF
health to develop it

That They Be Managed by

Washington. The revelation or

villains.
Bad management and dishonesty
has been disastrous to two post ex-
changes. he says. causing the loss of
funds and the trial of one officer and

the trouble primarily to the fact that

tary duties, are unable to give the ex.
changes the proper attention.

1t is fallacy to suppose that the re.
striction of racetracks in the crusade
against poolroom gambling has put an
end to the career of the thoroughbred
horse, says the Washington Herald.
There still remains an undiminished
demand for hunters, and if the gam
bling evil can be eliminated it is more
than likely that racing may be re-
vived for sports sake. Then there
continues to be the acquisition of
cavalry horses by the government.
which in itself offers a remunerative
field for the horse breeder. Nor has
the automobile put out of business
the draft and work horse of trade and
commerce. 1t will be a long while
before the necessity for horses will
cease. and if market prices are any
criterion to judge by. the demand is
greater than the present supply

The other day man was arrested
and fined for using disrespectful Ian
guage to a policeman, thereby inter-
fering with him in the discharge of his
duty. 1t is strange that there should
be men who think they can do that
with impunity, says the Chicago Tri-
bune. One may be guilty of bigamy,
OF run a trust. or be a steady CRATER,
and yet escape punishment. but the
consequences of reviling policeman
are inevitable. &c. when there are so
many crimes to pick from, no intelli-
gent man should select this. A police
man on his beat is greater than a
major general or than a teamster in
his pride of place. If the president OF
the United States should be ordered
by a policeman to move on" it
would be his duty to obey, saying,
perhaps, as he moved on, excuse me,
officer" That being the case. how
improper it is for a commonplace,
mediocre citizen who does not relish
some reply an officer has made, or
some order he has given, to call him
a fool, or words to that effect. He
invites an unpleasant last act Of the
playa trip to the station, an inter
view with the desk sergeant, a cell,
a fine, unpleasant publicity.
