AT LAST-THE DOCK

Tho decision, after years of agitation, to ae-
ouire \ city dock OF adequate dimensions for
the City Of Richmond holds nothing than sat
isfaction.
Many things, price and other considerations,
have operated to delay what has long been
a recognized necessity. But the dock had to
come Now that owners and city have at last
gotten together nothing remains except to
push through the one thing that will find the
void which denied to Richmond the facilities
OF a real city.
Some things modern society learns by bitter
experience Chief among them is. for every
community that has water transportation. the
knowledge that municipal ownership of water
front property is thing without which there
can never be growth and activity commensu-
rate with the genius OF the community itself
Tho new town Of the few remaining frontiers
recognized this truth by reserving for itself
the riparian rights along its river. Older CON-
munities. one by one. buy back what they neg
iectsd to retxin In the beginning.
Richmond has to pay handsome price for
its dock privilege. But no money could be
better spent. Certainly. in economic advan-
tage, in industrial impulse no money could
hone to bring larger return.

HOW TO GET GRADUATES.

virginias Board Of Education recommends
that every high school teacher should be a col
lege graduate.
the colleges and universities are recruited
from the high schools They are the pre-
iiminary training quarters for the ex-
ceptional children whom the cause of higher
education has in mind. Their teachers should,
by all means, stand for and represent the high
tr education which is the hope Vt these thou
sands OF high school pupils.
But most Of these teachers are women. What
IL Virginia doing in connection with Its high
school organization to supply an admitted de-
mand! Where are to be obtained the college
graduates among women who are to prepare
the high school grist for college? What Of a
state that demands a standard for the work
ing out OF its educational system which it
makes no adequate provision for creating?
This recommendation Of the Board of Edu-
cation is particularly valuable just at this
moment on account of the tendency Of the
bill for the CO. ordinate woman's college at the
University OF Virginia 1t emphasizes, as no.
thing else could. the real need and urgency
of such an institution. School teachers must

WOMAN AND LABOR.

The decision OF Judge Wells, of Hastings
Court, Part 2. yesterday to the effect that the
statute governing the employment of women
IA not according TO the strict rules Of inter
pretation which must be applied to c. tminal
laws, broad enough to include the proprietors
of q department store in which women are
worked past the specified hours, means that
the need OF an explicit law on this important
subject IL fully justified.
AT present there is O bin In the Legislature
which. we understand was suggested by the
expectation OF exactly the decision which Judge
Wells now renders. Thalhimer Is high
class department store Is no sweat shop,
or anything like It, The women 1t employs
are we'll treated, and, we take It, satisfied with
their employment In the rush season many
Of them worked hours which it is against
public policy TO expect women TO work The
Commissioner of Labor properly made test
case against this and other stores Judge
Wells decides that Thalhimer Is not within the
puryicw OF the act il therefore becomes me-
cessary that the Legislature should for once
and all declare who is within the act, how
long women should work. where and when.
Every reason OF humanity operates to make
the labor of women proper ground OF legis-
lation. This much humanity owes to the
mothers OF men There lis the real, basic i'm
perative, conservation. At whatever cost. at
whatever Inconvenience women must be
guarded in their role of wage earners
and Of support of dependent families 1t Is
.pitiful thing to zee the occasional man who
has burned out his vitality with the fres OF
q nervous energy which has been dissipated
That. like other things. man may with show
OF reason to be hfs to use and to spend. In
the case of women and children. the matter
Is different. n for nothing else than that we
arc all OF us fundamentally selfish. we owe
through plain law and direct limitation
the duty to preserve womanhood that We may
better ourselves in our children
