CURRENT COMMENT
Vanderbilt University.

The Supreme Court Of Tennessee has decided
that the college of bishops Of the Southern
Methodist Church does not control Vanderbilt
university, and that that institution was found
ed by Cornelius Vanderbilt, and not by the
Southern Methodist Church. This decision an
nuls the effect of the veto by the bishops of
the acceptance of a gift of a million dollars
by Andrew Carnegie to the Vanderbilt medical
department The board of trustees can now
accept that gift unless Mr. Carnegie has with
drawn 1t.
1t is reported that the Methodist Church con-
templates establishing institution Of uni
yersity grade over which it have the con-
trol it supposed 1t enjoyed over Vanderbilt uni
versity. Perhaps there will be very serious con-
sideration of the question whether this course
is altogether wise The tendency of edu-
cational development and improvement is in
the direction of consolidation. and not in that
OF multiplication. Fewer parts and bigger
whole seems to be the ideal today-Charlottes-

Right and Wrong i.

Editor Nirginian
Dear Sir,--Seeing so many letters from the
good people of this State. writing in favor OF
temperance l could not help thinking that 1t
was my duty to say few words in behalf of
the good cause for which | have so long prayed.
Surely that the ball has started to roll, all
self-respecting people, who call themselves Chris
tians will support the enabling act and the anti
vice bill. All God fearing and God loving peo-
pie, who love their country, and wish this rising
generation well, cannot fail to support, such
measures regardless of party. This is not a
question of right. There only two sides
TO everything, a right side and a wrong side If
1t is wrong to get drunk and make your neigh
Dor drunk and YOU in any way encourage drunk
ness, YOU must belong that class. How would
you like to come out and face the world and
say: Il belong to the class that voted for the
saloon. with all its demoralizng features" Now
take the other line; let them stand up. facing
each other; II vote for God and my country, for
the betterment of mankind" Now. which side
are you going to take? You will be known
after the election, get ready now. and show
what You can do. Let the ladies do their part.
Maybe they have father, a brother a son. or a
husband: let them their influence. Let us all
thank the Richmond Nirginian for the good
work II is doing. The more i see of the Vir-
ginian, the better I like It. / wish that this
whole community could read it, l would like
to say that this is a dry town. but at the last
presidential election there were only three votes
for prohibition. Mr.. Eugene Emory myself
and a man don't know hope il will be bet
ter next time.

PEOPLES FORUM
Bellevue Fresh Air Work.

Editor Nirginian.
Sir: We mothers who have worked so hard
for the fresh air school highly appreciate the
interest your paper is taking in this matter.
We are glad to have the attention of the peo-
pie called to this great work.
We Bellevue mothers feel that should tell
of the work that Is being done in cur school
along this line.
We have a class of twenty children in this
department under the and instruction Of
Miss 10th who Is in every way admirably suited
for the position. The children all love her and
we know that she is doing great work. The
method of conducting the class being identical
with the at Madison school. to which you
have referred several times think 1t useless to
repeat here
The Improvement in the appearance of these
children is enought to gladden. the hearts of all
lovers of childhood. They have gained in weight
from three to eleven pounds. and looking
much happier and roster than we could have
amagined few months ago.
At the beginning of the school term the
Bellevue Mothers club undertook to look after
this class supplying milk, eggs cereals. coco,
etc. and through the untring efforts OF Mrs.
Allan Clarke, who appointed by the club
Shawen, the efficient principal of the school, the
work has gone we'll
The mothers OF several other clubs have kind
ly added the Bellevue organization also.
At last meeting. which held on Thurs
day afternoon. Mr.. Hirschburg. of the admins
trative board, was present. Mrs A S. Culpeper.
of the Bellevue mothers having called his
attention to efforts behalf of the fresh
air school.
Mr.. Hirsc.hberg was presented. and speaking
for the hoard. instructed Mr.. Shawen to fiji the
room used for this purpose to its capacity and
send the bills to him at the end of each month
of this term.
You may readily see that a great burden has
been lifted from shoulders for we feel
that the work must go on, and the Bellevue
Mothers club desires to publicly thank Mr.
Hirschberg and the entire administrative
board for their great help in this work for the
children.
With best wishes for the Richmond virginian.

CONGRESS- MUST REGULATE SEA HOURS


The Baltimore sun calls attention to one SEN

the recent tempestuous voyage Of the Imperator
During the storm Commander Kies remained

THAT is custom OF the sea" the Sun OBJ

much property have been lost as a result of IT."
The staff of the Imperator embraces com.

to be capable men and any one OF them would
have been better capable of directing the move

commander, who had been without sleep for
than two days. The safety Of all on
board dependent upon the quick decision
and action of the man In charge in any emer-
gency that might be presented by the storm
the sleepless commander was not physically
capable of acting for the best interests of the
precious cargo consigned to his care.
Since congress found 1t necessary for the pub

laws governing the hours OF the men who "go
