A MATTER FOR THE SCHOOL
BOARD.

What is our local school board
going to DO about petitiOning the
CORPORATION court to order an cleo
ton before the beginning of the
next school year on the question OF
compulsory education in Frederlcks-
~b1rg? Already the county of ALE
ghany has adopted the plan as a
lowed by the act passed by the Gen
eral Assembly of 1908. and on Mon
day three districts in the splendid
county of Rockingham followed the
example of HarrisOnburg and voted
by overwhelming majorities in favor
of the plan. In fact, in Harrison
burg. which voted some weeks since,
and in these three districts there
was less than seventy-hve votes cast
against compulsory education as pro-
vided by the act in question. The
provisions of this act. which We have
heretofore explained in full. will,
sooner or later. be adopted by every
progressive school district in the
State of Virginia, because its pro-
visions are wise, easily complied with
and for the best interests of the
children. Now is there any good
reason why Fredericksburg shouldn t
be among the leaders in this move
ment? There is no use in delaying
or in waiting for additional counties
or cities to act. We can secure the
advantages which will follow a favor
able vote at once. and not only secure
the advantages for the children. hut
secure for the town itself the suO-
stantial advertising advantage which
a favorable vote will bring. We
urge upon the city school board the
wisdom of taking prompt action
looking to the holding of an election
in Fredericksburg before the schools
open next September. and we feel
safe in asserting that if such an
election is held there will not be fifty
adverse votes against compulsory
education as provided for in the 1908
act. The school board owes ii to
the children of this town who are
not receiving the advantages Of an
education, to which they are by
every right entitled. to take action
on this matter.

fell yesterday in such force that the
third OF the Boston White Sox games

clouds threaten to prevent a ball game
in the morning it is safe for the play
ers to buy matinee tickets for the aft

pretty nearly every time. However.
the local club ran out the chance for a
game, and 1t was not until nearly noon
that Mr. Taylor decided on the post
ponement.
The Red Sox were anxious to play
and refused to consent to a delay de-
spite the downpour until il was GER
tain nobody but flock of ducks or a
school of fish could find bottom in the
Huntington avenue ball yard. The

The message was sent to the judici-

the legislative leaders have decided not
to take action at this session looking
to the repeal/of the law, 1t is pointed
out that Gov. Dix can command of the
athletic commission the revocation of
all fight club licenses or the resigna-
lions of the commissioners. 1t is
claimed that either action would put
an end to boxing.
Gov Dix in case the legislature fails
to act will discuss with the athletic
commissioners the steps to be taken.
