WHY HIGHER EDUCATION
RECOMMENDATIONS WERE.
MADE BY MR.. STEARNES

, indicated. but is it too much to hope
that 1870 will find Us practically free
from the curse of illiteracy between
the ages of ten and twenty.
We have about 81, zoe white persons
above ten years of age and $4,000
eolored persons who can neither read
nor write, Is 1t not imperative that
we bring the children into school and
get about our work as promptly as
possible?
High Schools.
The growth of high schools liz really
sign of the times Virginia, like
many another State. did not take Lind
ly to the public school idea at first
This is the new vision which has
come TO Virginia. The founding OF
nearly every rural high school In the
State means the civic realization OF
some community in which vigorous
young fathers and mothers, feeling in
their veins the rich flow OF success in
life, demand a generous routine of
training and discipline for their chill
dren. Modern ideals make the indi-
viduaf willing to share these benefits
with his neighbors, and the result is
q public high school instead Of IN ex-
elusive private academy. 1t seems to
me that the high school movement in
Virginia will die only when this new
democracy fails and men. begin to
argue once more for the divine right
of kings.
During the seven years preceding
July. 1912, Virginia had established
$40 new high schools and the enroll-
ment had increased from about 1900
to 1886.
The State high school fund is no
longer adequate to the demands OF the
situation. and should be increased to
$4,000.
In 191t-lsI2 the State supported de-
parrments OF agriculture manual
training, and domestic science in ton
high schools and departments OF nor
NAL training in twenty-three hirh
schools. as will appear at length in the
twenty first summary shall treat
these special lines OF effort separately.

The list of sos teachers which the
normal training departments furnished
to the State in 1911-f912 speaks more

could speak OF the splendid success Of
these departments. There Ia a pecu-
liar charm and vigor in the, young

teachers are women. Our people de-

CONTRASTS Of
FOREIGN COACHES

Following his recent trip abroad,
s. y. Walden, vice-presadent of the
Packard Motor Car company, makes
some interesting comments on the
trend of European design.
There are two distinct schools in
European coach work, says Mr. Wal
don. Germany and Belgium go al
most exclusively to well-rounded ex-
teriors, while France adheres to square
corners, with only a slight arch in
the roofs of enclosed bodies. Eng
land draws from both, and makes
her open bodies along German lines,
with enclosed bodies tending more
toward the French design.
Almost all European factories
build the chassis only, and force the
purchaser to go to one of the nu-
m erous carriage makers for the body
Consequently there are almost as many
different designs of body as there are
OF chassis.
MAN yunusuaI designs are being
shown abroad. including the boat body
with its copper riveted, laminated
wood sides, and either without doors
at all or with very shallow ones.
Another freak style is the aviation
limousine with windows in the roof.
Design abroad has always been in
the direction of getting the entire car
closer to the ground than ia practi-
cable here. With the present strong
tendency in the direction of very small
cars this is more noticeable than
ever before 1t is not unusual to see
enclosed cars alongside Of which it
ia possible for six-foot man to stand
and see over the. roof. This is ex-
treme. of course, but II indicates a
tendency due partly to fad, and partly
to the necessity of reducing the chassis
and body weight to the power capacity
of the small engine
while the growing preference for
the Six is not so marked in Europe
as in this country, there are indica-
tons, particularly In England, of a
pronounced trend toward six-cylinder
design, even for comparatively small
cars"

Teachers
The schools were in session si.S5S
more days in 191f-ts12 than in the pre-
ceding year. If there had been no in
crease in the number of schools this
record would have produced an in
crease Of nearly six days in length OF
session. The salaries OF teachers were
Increased s252, 10 in isli- iet2 as
compared with 1slo-19li; II there had
been no increase In the number OF
teachers this record would have pro-
duced an increase of nearly $1,000 per
annum In the average salary paid
teachers. But there were els new
ers employed. These circumstances so
far absorbed and accounted for the in
creased number of days the schools
were in session and the larger amount
paid teachers that the average annual
session was heightened only three days
and the average annual salary was In
creased less than ffteen dollars
The increased salaries went. as rule
to teachers holding the better grades
Of certificates. White teachers holding
second and third grade certificates were
paid lower salaries than the year be-
fore. and the same was true of colnred
teachers holding third-grade certth-
Gates.
Tho total number of teachers was
1l,017, and OF this number 1856 held
certificates of rank equal to or great
err than a hrst grade. This means an
increase of 4l8 In the number of high
class certificates. The number OF emer-
gency certificates among white teachers
was diminished by As. but among col
ored teachers unfortunately it was in
creased by 80.
Virginia is now paying her highest
class OF white teachers an average
salary of 5t6,05 per annum. and the
next class-those holding frst grade
or high school certificatesv-$320.6s. The
higher grades OF certificates among
colored teachers show corresponding in
creases and relative amounts
