Miss Bessie May Powell.

Addressing the graduating class of
the Richmond CITY Normal School/la st
night. Or. Williah Heard Kilpatrick.
associate professor of the history of
education. Columbia University. Now
York. told what kind Of education I'VE
are working toward to-day-thc utili
cation in the schoolroom of the whole
souled, whole-hearted activity of chill
drcn."
School life should be transformed. he
said. so that children will mi into
school activities the same whoie.souIcJ
efforts that they put into their play on
the outside. The new procetlure in
education at which the specialists in
this line are aiming is to renake the
character of the work inside the school,.
Ihere has been great improvements
during the last century. but there are
more to come. Children now nut more
effort Into school work and they learn
Tar more than they used to. The only
way to accomplish this desired result
is TO utilize the child's whole souled in
terest.
DR.. Fitzpatrick. who is an educator OF
wide reputation. traced the develop
ment Of child from the time il is a
month old until the mature period Of
life is entered upon. He asserted that
the only difference between child
ana grown person is the difference Of
tn" reach of things in which they take
pleasure. The difference between play
and work is only the difference between
the simple and more complicated things
in life. Work for the child should be
made the same play, If the teacher
expects TO have the youngsters put
their whole souls into their school life.

of Madison Ward. According to an
opinion handed down by City Attorney

ton comes off next July. MIR. bradley
thought il wise TO run AT this time.
Commissioners Mccarthy is. in point
of service. the oldest man on the board
if short interim in which he did not
serve be not taken into account He
was the original member from Madison
Ward.
Mr. Mccarthy was one Of the three
commissioners whose official sonduct
was investigated by the councilma mic
committee appointed for that purpose
after the inquiry conducted by the Vice
Commission. 1t was testified at the
hearing that he was better posted on
the affairs and needs of the Police De-
partment than any other commits
sioner.
AS the councilmanic investigating
committee has indefinitely postponed
the meeting At which it will make its
rcport to the city Council, ii may be
that the election will he held before
