The Rack Yard Beautiful.

Whether back yard is a source
of pleasure and health or source OF
disgust and disease depends altogetn-
er on how it Is kept. If it is simply
the dumping place for trash and filth,
it is worse than no yard at all.
The back yard is neglected because
it is not on exhibition Most of US
like to put the best we have forward.
and so the front yard receives the
attention, while the back yard IS neg
lected
If either must be neglected, it
should be the front yard. The back
yard is where the children play, where
the people on the premises spend
most of their time when they are not
engaged indoors Hence the back
yard should have the greater care.
Every back yard in Newport News
may be made thing of beauty and
Joy, if only the housekeeper Will
have it so.

A typesetter in printing house
became very adroit in explaining the
large number of misprints for which
he was responsible. Even when he
changed his work and became wait

One day he had served a guest with
a plate of soup and was turning away

"This is an outraged" cried the in
dignant diner. Il find a needle in my

"Just a misprint, sir explained the

has inherited much of the patriotism
and fire of his distinguished father. He
is we'll posted on the stirring events

Jones has facts and figures down to a
fine point. He takes decided issue
with some of the present day histories
of the war, and thinks these ought to
be corrected.

The supreme court says Webb law
and laws of this State do not prohibit
the shipping of liquor into the State
for personal use and Gov. Blease says
it will be impossible for the constables
to distinguish personal use" whiskey
from contraband and, therefore, he
will dismiss all the constables and
make no effort to enforce any liquor
laws. The governor is right. Even
the blind tigers would ship all their
goods for personal use and it would
be difficult to seize any and yet he
might keep his constables to look af-
ter the fellows who were selling.
The supreme court may be right,
too. We do not pretend to say, ex-
cept, right or wrong, the deliverance of
the court is the law of the case and
of the State in this particular case.

SOME SCHOOL NEEDS.

thought in the South, and a pioneer
who is blazing the way to brighter
paths in the future, wrote an article
in which he admonished the school
teachers of the State to be careful
about making so many changes. He
urged that the teacher should re-
main in one place as long as posi-
BILE. All of which is all right theoret-
ically.
But the trouble is that the teacher
is not always responsible for the NOV
ing from one place to another. There
is great deal of unrest in the schools
in the State and we believe it is due
in part to the time of year that the
school year ends. There should be
some change in this.
The school trustees have heavy re-
sponsibilities resting upon them and
measure up to their duties as we'll as
may be expected. But there should
be a change so that the trustees
would know in the fall or winter what
they may do for the schools for the
next year ahead. In that way they
can act more frankly with the teach
ers.
Many teachers do not know what
to expect in the way of pay, il they
should remain another year, and
many Of them do rot know until in
the summer whether they have any
work at all. For that reason we think
the teachers should receive more con-
sideration.
Teaching is about the hardest work
fn:;the world when it is done properly
and in order to- invite the best talent
into this none too attractive field we
think that the teachers should be per-
mifted to know what plans the school
have at time when it will not force
them into hardships in getting places.
Anderson Mail,
The Mail is right and it is wrong.
The teachers, as a rule, have hard
time of it, and get very meagre pay
and no thanks or appreciation, but the
trustees, in this county, at least,
could and should right now be max
ing arrangements for the teachers for
another year. They know approx
mately what money they will have and
how long they can run their school,
or if they do not they can get the in
formation from the county superinten-
dent of education.
One of the faults of the system is
that the relationship between the
county superintendent of education
and the trustees is not close enough.
In fact, the law should be so made
that the superintendent of education
should be consulted in the selection
of the teachers. If he is competent
to fill the place he should be better
informed as to the qualifications of the
teachers than the trustees and this is
said with no discredit to the trustees,
because the superintendent is paid
official and it should be his duty to in
form himself.
The trouble with the plan of select
ing county superintendent is that
the average voter considers the eff
cheney and competency of the candi-
date for the place as among the last
and most minor considerations when
he comes to cast his vote, If he is
a good handshaker, if he agrees with
the voter on politics, if he is young
and needs the place, or is old and
needs it, or any other thing besides
his fitness for the job-these are the
things that influence even what we
term the intelligent voter. There is
your greatest trouble and until the
Office is removed from politics and

LARGE BRUSH FIRE
ENDANGERED HOUSES
Department Called Out This Afternoon
Horse on Combination Wagon
Fell and Was Dragged.

While the heavy combination wagon
was responding to a fire alarm from
box IL this afternoon at 1.45 O'Clock
the nigh horse slipped and fell on
Main street hill and was dragged by
his mate and the momentum of the
heavy apparatus to the foot of the hill
in front of Emerson 5 store. The horse
was badly bruised by the rough stones,
and the rig was turned back to the
fire station on account of a break in
the harness,
The alarm was sounded for large
brush fire which had started on prop
erty of Charles F. Mason just beyond
the end of the ear: line on South Main
street. Two or three small houses were
endangered, and had help not been
called the fire would have spread soon
to the fence in the rear of the fair
grounds and the buildings adjacent to
it. As it was, the damage was contn-
ed principally to the fire department.
