2O6,711 CHILDREN
NEVER co TO SCHOOL
Doesn't Virginia Need a Compulsory
Educational Law?-Yes,
She Does.
Virginia journal Of Education.

Virginia Journal of Education)
There are GIG 16S children Of
school age in Virginia OF this num-
Der 4O9,S97 are enrolled in the pub
lie schools of the state. OF this lat
ter number only 263,241 are in daily
attendance.
These figures are startlingly slgnin-
can't
In rough, they tell us that there
are 206,711 children entirely outside
of the public schools of the state, and
that of the 400. $40 pupils enrolled
only 263,241 are in daily attendance
Therefore. out of the original SIC
16S children of school age, there arc
342,927. or over half, who are get
ting practically no benefit from the
schools of the state.
Against these sinister figures
there are a few offsets that amount
to comparatively little in aggregate.
There are 1862 children enrolled in
private schools in Virginia. Grant
ed that an extra 10000 receive some
sort of home training, and that 90
600 of those enrolled, but not in
daily attendance, gather some school
advantages-yet the astounding per
centage of 229,265 remains, who are
absolutely without school advantages,
who are predestined illiterates!
One might imagine That the negro
race was largely responsible for these
amazing figures, yet the following
tables do not bear out the hypothesis:
White children of school age, 29S,-
4OS. =.
White children of school age en-
rolled, 2SS,S2S.
White children OF school age in
attendance, 1S9,SS6.
Colored children of school age,
PIT, $50.
Colored children of school age en-,
rolled, 12O,564
Colored children of school age in
attendance, 1850.
From the above figures we see that
there are 1O9,5S5 white and 81, 196
colored children entirely out of the
schools, and that of the enrollments
only 99.437 white and 46,7O9 colore
children are in daily attendance.
Twist the figures as we may. the
tragic fact remains that there are
over 100000 white children in Vir-
gnia today who are receiving no
schooling In passing, it is useless
to eliminate the negro race from the
roll Of illiteracy, and claim security
therefor simply because it is the
negro race. Ignorance is a curse to
any state, and its menace is in exact
proportion to the elevation Or degrad-
alton OF the people among whom It
exists,
Before going further, let us re-
member that Of the precious 263 ,241
children, who are in regular daily
attendance upon the schools Of the

In the Eastern oregon State Hos
pital Pendleton has the only state in
stdtution located in Eastern Oregon
This insitution was made possible by
an Initiative measure adopted by the
people of the state in November. 1910,
which provided for the establishment
81 state hospital east of the Cascade
mountains and appropriated 100000
TO the purchase OF site and the erec-
don OF buildings The legislature OF
1911 appropriated an additional s315,-
for the erection and furnishing OF the
buildings and their equipment a
tract OF land comprising about four
hundred and fifty acres situated a
nile and half west Of Pendleton in
Umatilla county was selected and hos
pttai buildings modern in every re-
about four hundred patients were
completed and accepted by the Board
q Trustees January /. 1913.
An amendment to the constitution
- the state was necessary before this
institution could be established. inas-
much as all state institutions had for
meriy been required to be located at
the state capital. About twenty years
ago the legislature appropriated mon-
ey TO buy site and establish an in
sene hospital in Eastern Oregon. and
az that time land was bought near the
town OF Union in Union county for
such purposes, but an injunction was
taken out and sustained by the courts
against the establishment OF such an
institution on the ground that 1t was
not constitutional. The state stin
owns this land and II is now used a.
an agricultural experiment station.
Oregon now has more than eightee,.
hundred insane under care. OF this
number about three hundred and SIX

trict. comprising the counties Of Ba-

officer seven years ago, the hospitals
were full Of typhoid cases. Not only
was the disease prevalent in the cit
les and towns but many cases were
reported from country communities.
The record of the past year Is in
striking contrast to conditions at that
time. The cities have paid more at
tention to the disposal of their sew
age and in the country better and
purer supply OF water was obtained.
The result naturally followed. Much
of the improvement in the country is
due to the increased number of wells
and the abolition OF the old water
tanks.
Another popularity Of the health
statistics Of the past year is the al
most total absence of typhoid in the
irrigated sections of the county. U.s.
ually, have observed this disease de-
velops in communities where much
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-12-31

them where they formerly made every
effort to keep them at home.
Statistics of the various states ano
countries indicate that there is about
one to three hundred and fifty of the
population in our insane hospitals. In
this state the proportion of males to
females Is about two to one. but this
proportion does not exist everywhere
1t is to be found only in the coas,
states where there is a great floating
population of men.
The legislature of 1913 appropriated
s1S7,200 for the maintenance OF this
institution for TIE biennial period
This allows for s22 a month for an
estimated average population OF three
hundred and fifty patients and in
cludes food, clothing, heat, light. wa.
ter, salaries of all employees, medical
attendance. medicine, and in fact ev-
erything entering into their care. The
cost Of maintenance during the year
that We have been in operation has
averaged s17.26 per capita, showing /.
considerable saving on the estimated
cost. This considering the compare
lively small number under treatment,
makes we believe most creditable
financial showing. The so-called
overhead expenses are such that the
greater the number of patients the
less is the per capita cost. This low
cost does not carry with 1t the infer
ence that patients have been stinted
In any necessities. They are provided
with an abundance of wholesome food
and all things that are necessary for
their comfort.

the greater numbers coming under

that the insane conditions are realiz-

saving In the expense OF transporta-

exhaustive journeys.
The people OF Eastern Oregon may
well be pleased with the establishment
of such splendid institution in their
midst. In design. construction and
equipment 1t is probably not surpassed
anywhere, and It provides for the most
humanitarian and scientific treatment
that can possibly be accorded this un-
fortunate class Of people. In the past

A LIBERAL OFFER.

Immediately after the decision of the
court of appeals of the state OF Ohio,
giving to the recognized International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers a
second victory, the executive board OF
the bona fide organization again made
liberal offer to all seeding unions to
return to the bona fide and recognized
organization. 1t will be remembered
that the Reid seeding faction lost their
first case in court and appealed, and by
a decision recently handed down the
Reid faction has suffered another crush
ing defeat. The regular and recognized
organization of Electrical Workers has
now offered all local unions that become
afiliated on or before March /. 1913. re-
instatement free of cost. putting them in
immediate benefit standing, without any
penalty. All that is asked is that the
January per capita tax and death assess
ment levy be paid, and all unions taking
advantage of this offer will be entitled
to representation in the next convention,
which is to be held in Boston, beginning
on September 15 next This controversy
has reached point where the local
unions attached to the seeding faction
ought to be convinced that they have
been the victims of designing individu-
ais who have not had desire to pro-
mote the best interests of the Electrical
Workers. The American Federation OF
Labor after a careful investigation of
the issues involved at the outset, recog-
nized the organization headed by F. j.
McNulty as the bona fide one, and the
conventions of the American Federation
of Labor since the controversy arose
have unwaveringly held its position and
two courts have decided in very en-
phatic manner that the McNulty organ
ization is the bona fide one. The oppor-
tunity is now afforded for all electrical
workers outside the realm of the bona
fide organization to return and be made
equal to all the other organizations, and
for the best interest, effectiveness and
welfare of the Electrical Workers. those
now attached to the Reid seeding fac
ton should avail themselves of the op-
portunity now offered and return to the
legitimate and bona fide organization oi
Electrical Workers.
