Generally Speaking
Compulsory Education's Advance

! With united press behind the movement

also the city OF Richmond on Tuesday by a
decisive vote, determined upon the policy of
limited compulsory education. We have no 90
lection whatever to any city doing this that
desires, but we favor the policy of local
option In the matter Of compulsory education
for the reason that n financial problem is pre-
scented to every con Inunity. We yield to no
its extension rapidly the finances OF a
community will permit. In Danville for in
stance the city has found Il difficult out Of IT'S
current revenues to meet the rapidly grow.ns
normal demands for education. This city needs
facilities for housing those who apply without
c"mpulsion. ard under such conditions II would
be folly TO order compulsory education wren
this would mean the provision at great cost
of additional buildings It Is to the credit of
the people OF Danvflle they need no compulsion
IN seeking the benefits of an education. II Ia
undenably true that there is large percen-'
tage of Hliteracy in this city. compared with
some other cities, but this is among the older
generation who have been attracted to this city
by industr'alism and have come from remote and
sparsey settled sections of this and adjoining
states wherein educational opportunities have
been few.
Before we think OF compulsory education let
us solve the problem of providing Il high school
building and Of relieving the congestion EXIT.

Hawaiian Fruit Quarantined.

For the protection Of the fruit-Srowers
Of this country against two dangerous
pests, the melon fly and the Mediterra
mean fruit fly, the Department of ASri-
culture has sent out a notice forbiddinS
the importation into the United States
of certain Hawaiian fruits, nuts and veg
etables. Those who disregard this new
regulation will face a penalty OF $500
fine, or imprisonment for one year. or
both. The quarantine went into effect
May 1.
Importations of the Hawaiian bananas
and pineapples will be allowed under the
new regulation. but each shipment will
be subject to stringent conditions of IN
spection and certification. Practically
all other fruits together with such vege-
tables as tomatoes. squashes, green pep
pers and string beans, are absolutely ex-
cluded. AS pinsapples and bananas are
to be admitted. IT is thought the quaran-
tine will not seriously interfere with
Hawaiian industries. These two fruits
are the only kinds grown in commercial
quantities, and, as a rule, they do not
carry the infection.
The Mediterranean fruit fly which the
DEPARTMENTS ruling designs to keep out
pra ctically destroys the fruit industry
wherever II obtains a foothold. 1t put
an end to the Bermuda peach crop. for
instance. The pest is believed to have
originated on the west coast of Africa,
whence it spread over the Mediterra-
mean. South Africa, Australia and New
