REPORTS RESULT !
Of INSPECTION
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH AN
NOUNCES FINDINGS In
ORANGE COUNTY.

Orange county was before the eyes
OF the worlds greatest school SAM
tarians yesterday when DR.. II. X
Flanagan. on behalf OF the State
board OF health. reported to the In
vestigation of school children in the
Piedmont county.
A part OF the Virginia report which
attracted widespread attention, ac-
cording to press dispatches received
today from Buffalo, was that which
related 10 the physical differences in
anaemic children and those OF nor
mai good health. Many Of the amaze
mic children. 1t was pointed out. were
victims OF hookworm disease. 1t was
notable. however that the healthy
children averaged ten pounds Of
weight more than those suffering from
anaemia.
The Virginia report was primarily
a plea for better sanitary conditions
in the schools. While recognizing the
Importance of all the improvements
being made everywhere In teaching
methods and in general educational
facilities. the Virginia board urged
better care in making the children
strong and healthy. The greatest
single problem in education" said the
report, lis not to provide better in
struction but to send to the school
healthier children

election law as It was presented originally. Our
observation Is that many former members made
attempt to be re-elected and declined to
stand for reelection. Regarding the SO called
lax reform bill we thought everybody in the
State, by this time, was convinced that 1t was
defective, would have been intensely unpopular
and would have failed to accomplish its pur-
pose, and that its defeat good job If
the Norfolk Nirginian-Pilot thinks otherwise
invite it to have that same measure pre-
scented in the next general assembly and see
what becomes of it.
Nobody can know or prove the motives OF
men, but surmise that considerable num-
Der of former members who declined to ask
reelection Disguised by the experience of
giving two months of their time away from
their homes and business pay barely meet
ing their expenses and subject to constant and
senseless nagging and accusations from editors
who did not take the time to know what they
talking about, who gave more attention
to sensation than to sense, to rhetoric than to
reason; and from irresponsible reporters per-
mitted to write editorials in the columns
and to express in type their own momentary
and varying whms and Roanoke

INFORMATION AND ADVICE.

A correspondent of The Firginian wishes to
be informed of the difference between the word
"sufTragist" and "sufragette" Strictly speak
ing, a sufragist is one who exercises the po-
litcal right Of suffrage, but of late 1t has come
to mean one who believes in untversar or wo-
man suffrage, especially woman so believing.
Webster defines a suffragette as woman who
advocates woman suffrage.
However. The FitginiGn advises its correspon-
dent not to pay heed to Mr.. Webster in this
instance He may may not be linguistically
correct but he Will get those who follow him
here in trouble. especially if they have wives
sisters or acquaintances advocating votes for
women. The word "sunragette" is chiefly de.
rsive, and Is applied to the militant advocates
of equal rights, while the word "suffragist" ap.
plies to all others who believe in the right
Of women TO vote That Is the line of demar-
cation drawn by the sufragsts who use argu-
ment rather than brickbats, but If there Is one
thing likely to convert suffragist into suffra-
gette it is to be called one.

CURRENT COMMENT
People Make the Wars.

Elhu Root in recent speech declared that
after all is said and done it is not governments
but peoples. that must maintain peace; and
that war will never be done away with $50 Ions
as people fail to exercise proper self-restraint
and the courtesy that the peace of the world
demands. We in America must learn that we
cannot continue a policy of peace with insult
We must learn civility."
There Is much good sense In that Peace
between nations, like peace between individuals
depends upon sympathy and understanding, and
these come from the practice of forcbearance
kindliness, courtesy
As individuals resent slurs their honor and
integrity. SO do nations, and handful OF
tnEoes talking loudly of superiority, and re-
marking upon the inferiorty of another nation,
do more to disturb international amity
than all the government CORE I.
More charity must be exercised, and great
Willingness to recognize that difference does
not imply inferiority. and that AT tbs virtues
are not inherent In one country and in one
race. Peace must rest finally upon a of
brotherhood and this depends upor a recog-
milton of the ciyilities and decencies Of human
intercourse.-St Paul Pioneer Press.
