NEWS OF THE OLD DOMINION.
EDMONDsON REFLECTED.
No Charges Against Present School
Superintendent of Loudoun.

Richmond, Aug 19.-Over the pro-
test of men prominent in public al
fairs, who had agreed upon another
candidate, the State Board of Educa-
ton Saturday night reelected W. u.
Ed:nonson Superintendent Of schools,
Of Loudoun County. At the public
session on Friday Richard Evelyn
Byrd appeared as the champion OF
Fl, /. Keen. MIR. Keen was Endorsed
not only by Senator Thomas S. Mar
tin, but by the manager of Senator
Marin's campaign in Loudoun coun-
ty, by the county chairman, by Henry
Fairfax, and by the newly elected
member of the House of Delegates.
There were no charges against Nj.
salmonson, who was Represented at
The hearing by Westmoreland Davis
of Leesburg. When the board went
into executive session and siftea the
whole matter down. it appeared that
Superintendent Edmonson, Who Is a
trained school man, had made himself
somewhat unpopular in the county
through his advocacy of an Increased
levy for the support of the schools,
md because he had taken advanced
Ground in the matter of consolidating
orc-room schoolhouses into well-or-
sanized schools at central points. In
both of these policies the superin-
tendcnt he's had the support and IN
.torsement of the State Board of Edu-
| alton, ana the board voted to stand
by its man on the ground.
It was conceded shat Mr.. Edmond
son may have tried to progress too
rapidly in the matter Of school con-
solidation in that section of the coun-
ty near the mountains, where means
Of communication are difficult, where
tie roads are almost impossible in
certain seasons, and where the people
have not yet grasped the advantages
in education that have been shown to
follow such consultations. 1t was
pointed ont that the policy is one,
however, that in hundreds of cases
!as been shown to work well. As the
'andidaHc put forward by the opposi-
ion, had been out of school work for
he past fifteen years, the board de-
.ided that no ground had been shown
o justify change.
The case of Alexandria County was
postponed to. October 15,. with the pro-
'iso m this case that the board must
near oral testimony in matters al
fecting the veracity of Superinten-
dent W. T. Hodges. against whom
certain charges have been filed affect
ing his methods of conducting the
schools.

The Truth About
Electric Cooking

For large families Wnefe
the average domestic help is
employed and a large
amount Of cooking done,
Electric Cooking will be
found more expensive, and
in most cases not advisable.
In small families, where
no help is employed, and
where nice equipment is de-
sired, Electric cooking will
be found many times more
convenient. more certain IN
results and safer in opera
tion-as well as reasonable
liz cost.
In every family a few
utensils for early breakfast
emergency and special uses
and for cheering up cold
meals with a warm dish or
two--is highly advisable
from every standpoint, IN
Guiding that of economy.
