VALUE OF TRAINING

That the teachers Of the State ap-
preciate the advantages of summer
normal schools Is amply proven by the
enrolment for the present session.
superintendent Stearnes has just re-
ceived the figures for the twenty-one
schools of the State, and the total
shows an attendance of $3.50. This
means that over half of the teachers
of the State have taken advantage OF
the summer normals-a fact unpre-
cedented heretofore
1t further shows a wholesome recog-
milton by the teachers Of the value Of
professional training, and the excep-
tional advantages offered by the nor
mails for securing 1t at minimum
of cost When ii Is remembered that
attendance upon these summer schools
is in no wise compulsory. the enroll
ment for 1914 Is exceedingly crafty
ing. especially to the department of
public instruction, whose efforts in be-
half of summer normals resulted In
legislat tive increase of S22 900 per an
nnm for their support--thus relieving
Virginia teachers of all tuition fees.

which requires every officer give personal atten-
lion 10 the duties Of his office Oy adding a clause
which makes drunkenness and the excessive use OF
intoxicating liquors while in Office, ground Tor I'M

We have al present a state which makes habitual
drunkenness ground for removal but 1t is inenect'
i've The habitual drunkard rarely rises to the place
In q community where he holds public ONCE Ihe
evil which this amendment attempts 10 correct Is
the oc sional drunkenness. No big business concern
would retain a man in its employ who went on oc-
cgioual sprees An occasional spree Is liable 10 be
costly TO the concern for which man works. II Is
to prevent this that this amendment is proposed The
state should not have in its employ men who drink
to excess, though 1t Is not habitual WIN then.

do not want our state disgraced by seeing its state
officers in a drunken condition about the streets,

they all had the same cAance as General west TO

Men who boldly stand for good morals and
