THE NEW
HIGH SCHOOL.

AS will be seen elsewhere in the
Gazette, the joint Committee on FL
rance and Schools will report to
ouncil tomorrow night on the ques-
ton of the erection of new high
school building. This project has been
pending before Council for several
years and is thought now to be IN
concrete shape for final action. This
is a matter that should be given
careful and individual thought by each
member of Council. The urgent need
CT such a building is daily evidenced
h. the over crowded condition of the
schools and the regretable fact that
many of the children are redistricted
to half day sessions. The most I'M
portant question to be considered
would seem to be whether arrange
ments for financing the building can
lie made in such way as not to
step all new sewer and street work.
For the past few years we have spent
r,ore on streets and sewers out OF
the general fund than our revenues
justified. This work is not to be re-
GREETED; on the contrary, it should be
continued in conservative and busl-
nesslike manner, and in keeping with
the city's finances. But the question
that is likely to confront the Council
tomorrow night will be, How to ad-
lust the payments for the school
i:uilding in such way as not TO
cripple the general fund and prevent
other improvements? And If the
school building cannot be erected
without stopping street work, then
which is the most important? THESE
Questions must be determined by the
members of Council, each for hml'
sell. after carefully studying all the,
conditions. 1t is confidently believed
that the city fathers can find way
II give us the much needed school
l,,;lding without materially Interior.

KATE GORDON CHAPTER
SUFFRAGE UNION.

The Kate Gordon Chapter held an
open meeting at the Jarden de Dance
Sunday afternoon, the speakers be-
ing Senator Chamberlain, Mrs. Kate
Waller Barrett and DR.. J. a. Nickel
way, secretary of the National Child
Labor Committee
The Kate Gordon Chapter is an
organization of southern women. nam
ed in honor Of the veteran leader In
the Southern States for Suffrage, Miss
Kate Gordoi of New Orleans, who
has recently organized the League
of Southern States in the interest Of
suffrage. 1t is the purpose OF this or
ganization to work for state, rather
than national. legislation with the
belief that suffrage will be granted
more quickly and that results attained
by it will be more effective, than
through National legislation. 1t also
believes that at the present time it
is best for the question of Womans
Suffrage to stand on its own merits
and not ally itself with any Of the
existing parties but work for the Sc
LEGION Of such persons in every par
ty who are friendly to the movement.
Senator Chamberlain emphasized this
thought and showed how unwise and
shortive the measures were that had
been attempted, in the recent election
when certain suffrage organizations
declared war on the Democratic par
IT, because they had failed to pass
the Federal amendment.
Ii was cause Of congratulation
to Firginians that DR.. Mckelway re-
ported satisfactory progress in the
Child Labor laws OF Virginia. While
it is true that the labor OF children
twelve years old is still permitted
under the law, when the mother is
dependent on the labor of the child
ren for support he safeguards ar
cund the law arc so stringent that it
it is only in rare and extreme cases
hat this law can be called into effect.
This is but the beginning of the end
of child labor in the state. Now that
publication has been called to the ev-
lis of it's into existence it will surely
be removed. The key note to right
thinking on this subject was strucl;
by Jefferson Davis who in the most
acute time of the civil war was urgent
to lower the age Of enlistment He re-
piled, We must not grind the seed
corn"
The child is the most valuable as
set OF the state and nothing can in
teTfere with it's development or pro-
lection that does not ultimate demand
of the state heavy penalty.
