Il has been practically decided
that the William and Mary Model !

commend the permanent closing Of
the school. which recommendation
without doubt viii be acted upon
favorably by the board
The faculty has two plans IN view
as to the conduct of a training and
observation scnool in connection
with the normal department. The
| first is TO establish a high school II
the William and Mary Academy
which will afford these students Il
training as teachers 70 get practice

is to make a proposition TO the schoc
authorizes of Williamsburg whereof
a graded and high school vii b
conducted here in connection wit
the college. the latter institution
pay a certain cost. This latter Pla
- has not been fully developed as ye
( but it viii be proposed to the CIT
Q council and school board within
o few weeks.
J. The closing of the Model Seho
e throws some 100 more pupils OF 4
e primary grades upon the city

D. penditure in addition to what IS
ready spent on the schools and v
A. necessitate an increase Of the Z

ch with the college IN the esablishm,
e here Of a first grade high school.
&c Under this plan the college vol
be given a limited control over
a entire school in a supervisory vi
d. and would thus have complete obs

The course of the House of Rep
esentaiiyes in its efforts at tariff
egislation is endorsed and com
nends the economical sdministEs-
ton of the government by the House.
The following sections of the plat
form are more interesting:
That we favor that revision of the
tariff which is embodied in the bills |
which have passed the House OF
Representatives., and we declare cur
firm conviction that the people will
only secure relief from the unjust
burdens under which they are stag
gering by placing the Democratic
party in power; we believe that the
tariff is the most vital issue in this
campaign and that it should not be
obscured by any other issue.
We heartily indorse the suggestion
that this government should estab-
lish at least one free port," and
that such port" be established on
Hampton Roads. in the State oi
Virginia.
We believe that the honest busi
mess farming and working classes
| of the country would be largely re
Ilieved from panics and consequeu
unemployment by a democrauc an'
noupartisan revision and codificstol
; of our antiquated banking laws
which, while creating an elastic not
and credit system, would at ii
sane time preserve our indePenden
banks from any dominant hnancis
' or political control.
We approve the principle Of nj
% tional aid to slate roads. as al
nounced IN our last notional platform
!. and specifically indorse the bill whiC
r affords such aid and which was r
l. Gently passed by a Democrat
D. House of Representatives.
re Believing that the principle of
n graduated tax on incomes is soun
'e equitable and thoroughly democrat
and that the proposed amendmS
