PROF. MlIIiIS' REMARKS.

Judging from the address Of Prof.
MaphiS OF the University OF Virginia,
in the Young Peoples Building. in
this city last Wednesday night. the
public schools Of Alexandria have
been targets for certain state officials.
It. will be remembered that State ST.
periutenucnt Eggleston delivered Il
similar address here several months
ago. during which lie rXcoriated the
public school conditions in hlcNan-
dria.
Ii has been said OF ltcury VIII that
had he died about twenty years after
his accession y lthe throne. his
name would have gone down in his
tory as one Of England's most bclov'
ed Suvereigus. Had MIR. Egglestou
ceased to- speak after the first ~
minutes he was before an Alexandria
audience. he would have .feft q
better impression in this city. Tbs

bulk OF his address was critical, in
some instances harsh, while he un-
necessarily sprung a religious issue
which BODIES no good. MIR. Maphis
repeated some charges made BY Mr..
Eggleston, especially that in refer
ence to the old Lancasterian Schoo!
building, in which little boys are tn
tored. He stated that conditions in
this building were the worst he had
ever SEEN The Gazette thinks it
about time something was being said
in answer to such observations on
the part of state officials and others
who so often make themselves heard.
1t may be stated that Alexandria
has spent much money in placing the
public schools in the position in which
the present generation finds them. AT
the close of the civil war the cX-
chequer OF this city was about de-
pleted, and while Alexandria was
struggling TO rise superior to the de-
plorable conditions incident 70 the|
four years civil war, the Underwood
constitution, which provided for the
establishment OF public schools was
placed before the voters Of the state.
The suffragans Of this city to a man
voted for it's adoption. After thcj
election the city began i'll earnest
to carry out The provisions Of that
constitution. It's capital consisted
OF the old onc-story Lancasterlan
school, facing ON Washington street.
and two frame structures in different
sections of the city, built by the gov
crnmenL during the war Under the
active labors of the late Rev. Father
Carnc and a school board composed
OF representative citizens, the city
went TO work with will. Two or
three years later the Peabody Build |
ing. northwest corner OF King and
Alfred streets, was purchased for
$4,000. for the girls school, and
subsequently the old Lancasterian !
School house was RACED and the pres
cnt modern Washington schoolDuild
ing placed on its site.

OTHER CITIES HAVE SUCH AN
ADJUNCT WHICH HAS PROVED
TO BE VERY BENEFICIAL.

"Fairmont as a City Beautiful will
be one OF the topics to be discussed at
the regular monthly meeting Vi tnn
Fallmont Chamber of Commerce OIL
Thursday evening OF this week.
AT this time the Art department VI
the Woman's club, CT which Mrs. U. A.
Clayton is the chairman, will meet
with the Chamber Of Commerce and
ask that body to cooperate. with the
department in having a city beautiful.
1t Is the desire OF the department
that the Chamber Of Commerce will
appoint an art commission to work in
conjunction with the Art department
whose duties 1t will be to see that the
city is bsautiAed in every manner pos
sible.
The scope of the commission will be
wide and will have to do with beauti-
tying the architecture Of the city, in
seeing that new buildings erected shall
be OF artistic and harmonious design,
that signs are hung to the best ai;:stic
advantage, roofs are designed along
artistic lines, etc The work of the
commission will also have TO do With
the sanitary condition Of the city. in
seeing that vacant lots and private
premises are kept clean and beautitled
and in sanitary condition and thai
bill boards are not placed in places
which cut off natural scenery, etc.
In many of the larger cities OF tho
United States such commissions have
been at work for years and are gen,
orally, regarded to be one OF the most
necessary adjuncts to the city's needs
Wherever such commission exists.
noted changes have taken place in the
cities as to their sanitary and artistic
condition.
Fa.rmont is endowed with great
amount of natural scenery and with a
commission, whose duty it is 10 see to
the things which tend 10 beautify the
town, Fairmont should blossom like
the rose and become TO be widely
known as city beautiful.
Tile cause is a worthy one and
should receive the hearty support Of
the citizens OF the community who de.
sire to see Fairmont beautiful city.
A beautiful artistic and sanitary city
will do much toward "a better citizen,
ship as surroundings and environ
meuts have much to do with the build
ing up OF citizenship.
