The article rural hgn schools In the
Virginia Journal Of Education, by Professor
Charles G. Maphis, of the University of vir-
Iginia, mentioned In these columns yesterday
is so interesting that 1t is almost impossible
to resist the temptation to quote from 1t again.
His definition OF the functions of the rural
high schools and his outline of how that func-
tion best be performed is worthy of con-
sderation. not only by educators, but by all
those who have at heart the interest of our
public school system. These latter we believe
arc nearly all the people of the State. All of
us are interested in perfecting our public
school system however much We may disagree
as TO the means to that end and 1t will hurt
40 one to study what such an authority as Pro-
fessor Maphis may have to say on the sub
jcct.
Make the school fit the needs of the COM
munity in which located" sums up his defini-
Ition and all of his arguments are directed
toward showing why this should be done and
how The true function of the rural high
school," he says. sis to meet present needs by
training for civic, commercial and industrial
life. and to prepare for a higher degree of
social efficiency and leadership than the eIemen-
tary school, and its curriculum should be
fashioned to the end that 1t may be in affinity
with the industries and active interests of
the people"
Professor Maphis shows that seventy-nine
per cent OF the total enrolment of the rural
high schools are in the first two years and asks
ito what extent we justified in neglect
ing them to go after the 81 per cent still with
out the foid?" answering the question by sug-
costing that more attention be paid to the
two year school and that It's curriculum be
shaped to the end that 1t be adapted to the
needs of the community He then asks:
Is it best that the curriculum of the county
high school shall continue to stress uuth-.
mates and foreign language / {, the belief ,h,t
they. and they alone. develoo a mental
storage battery and take the place with the
country boy Of good English applied clerren-
tary natural science, social economies A,neri-
can ht7tory, civil government. the mechanic
arts and household sciences?
Answering this question with another he
says: Should not rather enrich and broad
len the curriculum with newer subjects. allow
ing some substitution for the older subiects?"
1t all get back to the beginning. Teach the
fundamentals In the lower grades and devote
more time to vocational training in the higher
grades, avoiding the ScyIia OF a too academic
training on the one hand and the Charybds
OF nothing but Industrial training on the other.

COLLEGE ATHLETIC IN VIRGINIA.

Some of the newspapers of Virginia are de-
poring the fact that athletic contests between
the larger colleges of the State have become
Il matter of the past on account of mutual
ifalousies. fears and disagreements The Uni
vcrstty of Virginia and Virginia Military InsU-
tute meet annually, but neither plays any other
State college of first athletic Importance The
same has been true of Washington and Lee
ard the virginia Polytechnic Institute and now
relations. and it is not beyond the range of
pc ssibility that v. M. /. and Virginia will not
n eet in which case not one of the larger col
leees of the State will meet any other on the
81 'dron next fall.
Speaking of the impossiblity OF Judging the
re iative strength of the State football teams
the Newport News Press says that 1.-The muddle
in football in all the State this year appeals
to us as potent argument for games between
the four big institutions OF virginia--The Uni
versity, Washington and Lee, v p. |. and
". NJ. l. These games would be of great inter-
be arranged"
That such contests would be Of interest to
lovers of the game goes without saying, blu
unfortunately the policy of the college athletic
managers seems to be determined after the
spirit of Commodore Vanderbilt, except that
they do not take enough interest in the public
even to damn it.
The Lynchburg Advance remarks that "the
situation in Virginia is greatly to be regretted
and the Petersburg rnder-Appeal urges that tbs
four larger colleges arrange for baseball and
football games between them. The Danvlle
Et gister and the Roanoke World also voice the
sentiment of the followers OF college athletics
but all the public sentiment in the world has

seem to believe themselves above all considera
tons save those of their own pleasure.

sage therefrom," but which he takes pains to
libel alleged" is interesting study of lunacy
laws. New York Blue Bloods" and the spirit
world. No less is 1t an interesting study of
the author. for 1t gives the readers peep
into his soul and into the cause of the bitter
feeling he has shown against his family in
New York
Mr.. Chaloner expressly states that he does
MT believe In the authenticity of the spirit
message from his friend but gives 1t for what
1T is worth In 1t. we may assume, are en-
bodied some of his own ideas of the future
state many Of which are plausible and pro-
badly true and many of which are more fanci-
ful and interesting than important.
The book is one worth reading by all whether
in crested in the author Of the famous Who's
loony now?" and in his fight to regain his estate
or not. 1t is full of startling statements. con-
tanning the germ of great truths is we'll written
and is characteristic of the author Whatever
reason one may have for laying 1t aside before
completing perusal of It, it will not be bore
