The Richmond night school enrolment has
grown steadily for three years. On the opening
Night Of this session the total enrolment was
twice that Of the three sessions Of l911 Today
IL is twice that Of 1914
In other words the l9li enrolment was about
eight hundred; the second year IT was about
100. Now it is two thousand which Is an
increase ot FIVE hundred over the opening night
Of this year. which was a week ago
These figures show that the city Of Richmond
never made a better investment than when 1t
burt its numerous fine school buildings. The
night school at John Marshall high school has
an enrolment Of nearly one thousand The
enrolment at the day school fl more than two
thousand. Three thousand pupils use the John
Marshall high school building daily. Many adults
use its spacious auditorium several times a
month There are various mothers club meet
,ngs. social events and mass meetings and lee
lures In the auditorium Of the other buildings
There should be more. but there are enough to
demonstrate that the buildings are indispensable
and that more will soon be needed. In fact
while the school board has not asked for an
additional building so far as we know, one
could DO used comfortably right now.
These facts and figures presented here

their public school buildings are not mere I'm

WHY THE WEST Is CIVILIZED.

The Turks, once the potential conquerors OF

what we lack ts the inspiration Of the wo-

"Mahomotans have not given a leader TO the
world of thought or deed" he said, "for one rea-
son, and one reason only. Why is it? Our
brains weigh as much as yours, there is no diff

What We lack is the inspiration of the wo.
man.
Everything that has been done by the Chris

the sake Of a woman The exceptions are so few
as not to be worth talking about For the sake
Of wife. mistress, or mother; The woman has
been the cause Of every erort--to shine in her

"Ihat is denied to us Mahometans. Our wo-
men are not our helpmates, our equals. or our
comrades They are our recreation. and, Of
course. they are honored as the mothers Of our
children. But they are not our Inspiration.
II Is true that the majority of Turks are not

INCTEMENT WEATHER DID NOT
PREVENT LARGE CROWD FROM
SEEING ANNUAL EXHIBITION.

Showers yesterday morning did not
prevent scores of South Richmonders
from attending the State fair. As
early as s O'Clock extra cars were
placed on both the Hull street and
Forest Hill divisions, and each OF
them carried large crowds from the
Southside
Public schools and the Southside
municipal building were closed all
day, while Hastings court, part III.
and Manchester postal station OBJ
served holiday hours. BY noon only
q few stores and business offices re-
manned open. and the streets of South
Richmond resembled deserted ham
let.
Hull street cars went through to the
fair grounds. and large number OF
extra cars were placed on the Forest
Will line in order to handle the large
number of passengers.
On account of the Indictment
weather yesterday the school children
will be given another opportunity to
visit the fair tomorrow. when the pub
lie schools again will be closed. While
the rain did not interfere with the
grownups. number of the children
were unable to brave the showers and
were forced to remain at home.

Gordon, wife of Western banker, says she does

is proud of II, she doesn't believe in this new
nonsense
And someone has dug up Blaokstone's defni-
ton of the English wife: The individuality of
the wife is lost in that of her husband after
marriage The law does not recognize her sep

her husband, who thinks and acts for her. "
Thus CALAMITY does the Englishman accord his
wife superior status.
This makes a trife dizzy, but many people

lattYe sessions two years apart presiden-
ttal election every -four years. gubcrnatorial
election every four years: congressman ana
county officials elected every two years Why
not have elections two years apart and
half of election expense?
1t could be easily arranged so that our cleo
ton for president and governor would come
the same year and our congressional and county
elections the same year, each two years apart.
without making too many names to be voted
for at time, and not interfering in any
way with the efficiency Of the election ma
chiLery. Except perhaps, causing some delay in
the count, which is immaterial.
Under our present system we are continually
talking politics. and each yen having bills to
pay Cor registration and election expense. With
biennial elections, believe there would be
more interest of the right sort in politics and
only half of the wrong sort. If. many
think every four years is too often to have
a presidential election, why Is not every year
toe often to have State and county election?
The argument involved Is the in both
