Sir While the future management

MS consent or approval, viz. the course
OF stud% in the high schools in tho
state. we farmers do not know how

dren are e, scan Latin verse and out
of school they are 10 scan corn rows

the mule does not accord with the
pleasing melody OF Latin poetry Their
knowledge of algebra. geometry. etc.
does not help To grow more crop to the
send to these schools. but often they
are the only kind we can send TO.
Those OF us near enough TO send TO the
two-room schools are pleased with
them, but arc indignant when children

stances; too far from any school, grow

since these dairy doctors got TO going

OF civic consciousness and wide in
tcrest in municipal affairs in Rich
Inond. Many people know nothing in
tho world about Richmond's munfcl-
pal government, and so care very
little. The campaign of the Young
Mems Registration Committee did
some excellent work in awakening
hundrds TO n feeling of their partici-
patton in public affairs. 1t would be
n good thing TO seek other means OF
rousi4g the people TO feel that the city
is their city, and that what is good
in ii should be source of pride to
them
1t seems to Tho Times Dispatch
that II civic parade, such as have been
so successful elsewhere, might prove
both illuminating and stimulating to
the average citizen. In Denver the
annual parade OF the departments is
a big event. In New York recently
such a procession gave the people g.

spectators showed that they had warm
