Virginia Schools Progressing

In his address on THE Years Prog
ress." delivered before the Educational
Conference in Richmond November
"a. State Superintendent II. C.. Stearnes
cited certain facts and figures, which
indicate remarkable activity on the
part Of those charged with the train
ing OF the young In the Old Dominion.
AS an evidence OF the interest shown
in education during the last twelve
months the state superintendent de-
clared, that
More than one million dollars were
expended for schoo1house alone, while
plans for scores Of new buildings are
under way.
Thousands of dollars were contrib
uted out Of the private purses of
school patrons.
The increase in enrolment was more
than $4,000.
The school revenues reached total
of ss.823,4512s.
White illiteracy, between the ages
of ten and twenty, has been reduced
from 1881 TO less than 10000.
Negro illiteracy, between the ages
of ten and twenty, has been reduced
from 1924 to less than 10000.
Buchanan County. in 1910. had l.
2s0 iliiterate children between ten and
twenty years of age; today 1t has only
1877 illiterates. The percentage has
been reduced from 22.2 to So.

New courses of study~--the work Of
nearly a hundred leading educators
have been prepared for the elementary
and high schools.
The study Of domestic science, ag-
riculture and the manual arts will
be especially encouraged and fostered.
a plan for the star dardi2atlon of one

devised.

proper educational facilities are to be
furnished all OF the children who
knock at the doors of Virginia s

almost reached their limit, the State
