THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF THE
GROW.

What is the value to. society OF tho
crown Our farmer friends may smile
at such a question. but the query is
serious. Tho Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agrloul-
ture is seeking this information from
, farmers all over the nation to deter
mine the economic value OF the crow"
From the earliest times 1t has been
thought that tho. economic value OF
the crow is wholly negative If an
. Injustice has been done to this noisy
and impudent individual, equity de-
mands that the world make its amende
honorable to the cawing member of
human benefactor and not nuisance,
justice and fair play demand that tho
crow shall have square deal. and
that the nature takers who have Will
fed the bird shall be characterized by
short and ugly word.
Tho Biological Surveys chief de-
ciares that the examination of
large number of crows stomachs Is
essential before the food habits OF
tho bird can be accurately deter
mined" The number of such autop-
sizes cannot be made too great to
please the average farmer. who is
competent witness as to the crows
propensity FOR planted seeds and
growing crops.
This investigation is most import.
ant, because 1t reveals tho far-reach-
ing and universal scheme OF the gov
eminent to extent its paternalistic
protection to our best known birds.
After the economic value of the crow
has been found, let the government
determine the economic value OF u
'yaller dos" and then tell us why
Is polecat What is the economic
status OF Junceug? And what in
Justice has been done TO the humble
bee?

In many Of tho CAGES to free murdor-
ers: disregard for law because OF Its
technical loopholes Is responsible for
much OF tho lynchins that takes place.
In passing, it should be noted that vir-
ginia still maintains her record for
obedience to the law and the mann
eenance Of Justice. 1t has been long
tino since there was a lynching in
this Commonwealth. and the possibility
OF such lawlessness In the future Is
diminished each year by the continue
ton of the orderly administration Of
law and tho netting out to murderers
OF adequate punishment.

In his criticism of Thomas Nelson
Pages new study Of General Lee. the
book critic OF the always conservative
Boston Transcript says: "Nr. Page has
proved that Lee was incomparably the
greatest general OF the Civil War. with
qualities of generalship that would
have made him notable in any cam
paiSn in any ago. :. Grants policy OF
'attrition.' tho wearing away Of Lees

mon for every one of Lees. can scarce
ly be called good generalship. With
Grants resources Lee would not have
had to resort to such measures to win
victory. In short he (Lee) was an
upright and noble-hcarted gentleman
and public-sprited patriot" No less
pleasing is this comment as to GEN
cral Lee: His conduct OF his army
during his two invasions OF the North
when he strictly enforced among his
men respect for law and property, is in
striking contrast to Buffers acts ana
orders In Louisiana, to Hunters wan
ton devastatlons in the Shenandoah
and to Shermans ruthless pillaEing
and burning on his march to the sea. +"
These are rather striking comments,
coming as they do from ono of the
most reserved and most conservative
Northern papers.

WOMEN STUDENTS Ar oyronp.

Elsewhere on this pagc will be found
most illuminating letter from DR..
Sidney Ball, Of Oxford. discussing the
practice OF admitting women to lee
lures and examinations in that uni
vcrslty. The conclusions of DR.. Sail
are that the life of women students
In Oxford. except so far rs meeting
IN the lectures or examinations is con-
cerned, is quite independent OF that
Of the men"
30 90 the fear that the presence of
women as students would prove de.
moralizinG. though why Young wo-
man studying Greek should be. any
more demoralizing than ono dancing
germans er teaching Sunday school,
has never been satisfactorily explained,
Or Ball says. The presence Of women
students at Oxford has proved. it may
be said. to have acted favo-ably on
The manners OF the men The position
is perfectly natural one and is sc.
cented as sucn."
Il is true that women students ~
hui this is due solely 10 the fact that
the authorities OF Oxford do not want
to make the women actual members Of
the university BODY. which they would
become on receiving degrees, with tho
rights Of voting for member of
parliament and exercising tho other
privileges aad duties OF members of
tho university
DR.. Ball also makes the Interesting
statement that some of the women who
arc teaching have so distinguished
themselves in their special subjects
that college tutors send their mon
pupils TO sit at the feet of these mod
crn orecles.
The whole letter Is OF especial in
terest because It describes the actual
and satisfactory working of method
for giving women the advantages Of
higher education that has bscn sur.
sested as a solution for tho problem
that mas been raised in Virginia by the
demand from tho women of this state
for university training
The system now in vogue at OK
ford has many OF the features that
were offered In the bill presented nv
Senator STROBE at the last Legislature
looking towards the establishment, II
a State institution FOR women near
enough to the University of virginia
to enable young women 70 secure the
benefit Of instruction from the pro-
fessors who are now engaged only
in tie ching men.
The supporters OF this proposal ear
neshy asserted that their intention was
not TO make the University of Virginia
coeducattonal. but rather TO give to
young women who desired a university
education the opportunity of securing
that privilege. without having to leave
this Comuonwe alth. The example Of
oxford, as we'll as the example Of
Harvard and Columbia. very clearly
establishes the fact that young women
and young men may be taught by the

REST IN TILE LoRn

tSelected for The Times Dispatch1
My presence shall go with thee.
and VIII give thee rest"--Exodus
NXxiii. Il.
Such was Gods promise to Moses
amid the lonely crags of Mount Sinai.
The patient leader OF Israel felt the
burden laid upon him greater than he
could bear. Tho people were dis
obedient and wiltul, and they had
even made a calf in Horeb and wor-
| shipped the. golden image. Moses felt
his inability to lead such a people
alone. Then God assured him he
should not be alone. but that the
Almighty would help him and give
him rest. Now our journey through
lie is In ono respect much like some
shorter journey we may feel we
have to take and dread to
make alone. The moment some trusted
friend consents to go with us and
promises us help, our difficulty seems
removed. 1t is ccrtainly true of the
great journey we must all make. We
, could not undertake II without the
comforting promise OF God-"I will
never leave thee. nor forsakc thee"
God is our companion and our
guide; he leads US, as He led Israel
OF old. He is not an absent God,
dwelling afar off. but One ever ready
to hear our prayer end to help. Every
time We kneel down or pray in our
| heurt God is present with US IL we
Gre earnest as we ask. When we
read our Bible lovingly and de-
sirously, not as task. God is pres
ent with US. But God not only prom
ises that His presence shall be with
! His people, but that lie will give
them rest This is the universal need
not simply bodily rest. which is
often enough badly needed, but the
t rest the text speaks of--rcst of mind
/ and soul--the peace o. God, which
passeth all understanding. God alone
can give this rest, that peace which
| the world cannot give. The world
{ cannot give peace to ono who has
( an accusing conscience. Many of us
/ try to laugh away tho prlolSs OF con-
/ science, but we all know they return,
when we least expect them, to tor
ment US These arc the thoughts
OF wasted opportunities, neglected
| pray ere.
| There is only one escape from these
troubling thoughts and reproaches OF
our conscience. God elone can give
us rest. If we repent truly Of oul
/ sins, 1, We strive by Gods grace tc
amend our lives in the future. the da RI
past shall be forgotten and made
clean. Jesus will pardon and Civ,
! peace And SO let every ono OF US
before we lie down this night, ini

! pray for forgiveness so earnestly tha
we may feel Him saying. Thy SIM
be forgiven thee; Ny presence shat
