tern institutions whore better facill-

Tho business men OF Virginia and the
South are awakening to this educa-
tional omission on the part of our col
lcges and universities. Their activi-
ties are hampe/.d by the impossibiity
OF bringing into their employment
young men who have received special
training for business careers. The
situation has also broader signif-
canoe and one in which the state as
whole is Interested because it in
wolves the proper development OF eur
resources and direction of our com
mercial and industrial undertakings.
There is urgent need of special
school of economies and politics which
would offer to the young men of Vir-
glnia ana the South. facilities and op-
poriunities which could not be sur
passed elsewhere. Richmond is the
political, the industrial and the com
mercial capital OF the state. It's gov
ernmental departments and machinery.

local institutions OF higher education,
AN opportunity afforded for general
study along with special training for
business. The cost of equipping such
a school would not be great Within
several years it would be more than
self-supporiing. Virginia ana tho
South should have school of this
kind and we recommend its establish
ment to the serious consideration Of
our business men and legislators.

WERE NOT AT ALL DlvERTlNG
to Smile at in the Lighter Poems
of Whittier.

The late Gertrdue Whittier Cart
land, cousin of Whittier, the Quaker
poet, presented an ideal picture of
the sanity aged Quakeress. Her
sweet, serene face, framed in its tight
little bonnet, seemed TO shine with
clear, spiritual radiance; to hear her
recite, in voice of tranquil music,
the hymns and graver poems of her
famous relative was always delight
full
But she did not leave her cousins
lively sense of humor; and it was
hard to tell whether this lack lessen
ed or increased the effect, when in
exactly the same grave, even tones,
she occasionally read aloud some of
the verse that he wrote, not for pub
lication, but for the pleasure of his
Intimate circle. That was always
light, frequently gay, sometimes fairly
rollicking
Her admiration for the writer made
her try very hard to appreciate his
fun; and she thought she did SO; yet
mirth seemed always as alien TO her
tongue as a red rosette pinned upon
her doye-gray shoulder-shawl would
have been to her costume. This in
congTuity was felt doubtless, by an
other Friend, of even more serious
mind than she, who once said to her
reprovingly;
THE verses are harmless, and l
perceive they are intended to be
diverting; but they do not divert me.
Gertrude, and l do not think they
really divert thee. Be honest with
myself; if thee read them and did not
know thy cousin Greenleaf wrote
them would thee not consider them
extremely silly? Thee knows | mean
no affront. and greatly admire thy
cousin Greenleaf. Surely he is a
great poet; but great poet may some
times write such silly stuff And sure
ly this time thy cousin has done it.
Reflect and thee will agree with me-"
She reflected-on the necessity of
care in selecting an audience for a
joke.-Youth's Companion.
