Local physicians report number
of cases of trachoma or chronic
sore eyes in the city this week,
which is causing some apprehension
in as much as school is to open in a
little more than a week. This form
of sore eyes is highly contagious
and could become an epidemic. The
attention of the school board will
be called TO the situation and it is
probable that some precautionary
measures will be adopted to prevent
spread of the disease following
the opening OF school.

for the afternoon program a colored
quartet from Hampton Institute

folk songs of their people. In his mu-
sic the negro poured out his sufferings
and his aspirations, his patient submits

his vivid hope for freedom In the

TO be . deep and dark mystery. IL
the world finds in our product lack
of driving power, of sustained effort.
and greater need of thoroughness
and serioumess. as the boy and girl
take up the task of real life, 1t is
ours to supply those deficiencies."
There must be such careful
grounding in the fundamentals and
such stimulation OF interest in
studies for their own sake. that the
desirable habits OF industry. obedi-
ence, accuracy and self-reliance Will
seem to be indigenous to the child's
very SOUL
The speaker also directed attention
to the great demand for flexible cur
rucula and for breadth of view In the
classroom. and 1.-The duty of broaden
ing the curriculum said he, "and OF
making II sufficiently flexible to meet
the conditions of modern life Is sec
ond only to the responsibility which
rests upon us to breed a new spirit
of thoroughness into public school
teaching"
The State superintendent was en-
thusiastic In his reference to the work
done by Virginias teachers. He de-
clared that the State has been par
tcularly fortunate in the quality Of
teaching talent which has como to 1t
In recent years and that zeal and en-
thusiasm have been manifest on every
side.
Careful School Supervision.
The speaker dwelt at some length
upon the necessity for careful school
supervision and for the need Of con-
slant visitations by uperintendents
or trained assistants. In this connec-
ton he said: 'Jn Virginia we have
10000 schools in the counties. An
average of four visits during the
year would bring 10 these schools the
helpful presence OF a skilled director
and supervisor as many as $4,000
times. Notwithstanding their en-
crossing duties in other directions the
division superintendent In the coun-
ties paid 24.943 visits to schools. 1t
thus appears that In number Of visits
alone our supervision Is hardly more
than so per cent OF what 1t should
be. Approaching the imperative need
OF better supervision, our superintend-
ents are pleading earnestly for assist
ance, especially in connection with
the supervision OF practical subjects
Mr. Stearnes, in concluding his adj
dress. said:
The truth Is, we are striving for
great and important things like the
correlation of the work of country
schools the Standardization of city
work, the ideals OF thoroughness and
efficiency. the enrichment of the cur
riculum and the effort to profession
alize supervision as we'll as teaching;
accordingly concrete and particular
manifestations of progress must yield
the center OF the stage for the time
being.
Standing thus in compact organ
ization, and with forward eyes, we
welcome every new thought that
tends to clearer theory. and every
new method that tends to finer ac-
ton. We are receptive, we are am
bilious We are also confident. Like
Stevenson. we travel hopefully
knowing that earnest faith and en-
deavor are never thwarted. and that
a simple trust in God will lead us
safely forward and guide us finally
and surely into the paths of right
eousness and peace.

MAY ACT TOMORROW ON
PROPOSAL FOR SURVEY
Advocates of Survey of Virgfnia's Pub
lie Education System Are Slim
ulating Interest.

Action on the suggested survey OF
Virginia's public education system VIII
probably be taken during Friday az
ternoon's session of the Virginia Edu-
cation Conference in the auditorium
of John Marshall High School.
The subject of survey, similar to
those had in a number of States.
among them Maryland, in 1915. was
given considerable attention by edu-
Gators, who gathered in small groups
yesterday and discussed the matter.
Whose In favor OF such a survey are
engaged in creating sentiment that
may result tomorrow afternoon in the
creation Of a committee or other body
to popularige the idea throughout the
State and to bring the matter to the
attention Of the 1918 session of the
Legislature for appropriations to de-
fray expenses.
night. Superintendent r. c. Stearnes
said;
Mr.. Stcarnes' View.
My chief concern Is for the bet
terment OF the schools. and I favor
any constructive survey and other
movement that will advance the pub
lie school system of the State. School
surveys ar eQuite common in the Uni
ted States. The results attending
them have varied in value. some sur
veys proving highly beneficial. others
giving negative results. while a few
have been harmful.
II am sure that any survey which
would be undertaken by the school
authorities o Virginia would be so
gressive educational spirit that 1t
entirely in harmony with our pro-
could not fail to produce good re-
suits"
Cover Every Detail.
The survey. If undertaken. It Is pro-
posed shall be a comprehensive one,
covering every detail of the States
public education system. ranging all
the way from the one-room schools
to the higher institutions of learning;
all the way from local school officials
activities to those of the State Board.
This was the view taken yesterday by
those who have considered the matter.
Sentiment favorable to such sur
vey is said to be growing. and the
probability is strong that the matter
will be one of the features of tomor-
row afternoons business session.
The survey. II appropriation Is made
by the Legislature, will likely be con-
Quoted under the supervision OF the
General Education Board. which
would aid in bearing the expense of
the work covering a several months
period. It is probable that the United
States Bureau of Education also will
aid financially. in proportion to the
size of the Legislatures appropria-
ton. Such a survey as contemplated
could not be undertaken until the
summer of 1918 at the earliest. 1t Is
pointed out. as only the next session
of the General Assembly can make
the necessary appropriation.

TO FORM RESERVE
TRAINING CORPS

Reorganization of the Fourth Vir-
ginla Infantry and the question of the
reserve officers training corps will
occupy State military officials in the
near future. Adjutant- General Sale
was yesterday in receipt of letter
from the War Department authoriz-
ing the reorganization of the Fourth
Infantry. and he will go to Lexington
tomorrow to attend a meeting of the
board of Visitors at the Virginia Mill
tary Institute on Saturday looking to
the establishing of the training corps
for reserve officers.
For some time 1t had been the de-
sire of the War Department that the
Fourth Virginia Infantry be turned
into Coast Artillery Corps This
was not according to the desire of
the members OF that infantry. and as
a consequence interest in the organixa-
ton waned, further enlistments ceased
and the infantry. but for the efforts
of General Sale, faced dismember-
ment.
Enlisted Only as Infantry.
The members of the organization
declared that they had enlisted as
infantry, and that the War Depart
:nent had no right to draft them INFO
another branch of the service. There
.as no inclination among any of the
men to Join companies of coast ar
tillery. and because they feared the
infantry corps in which they were
Unlisted was in danger of being chang
ed, they did. not further Its interest.
The order of the War DEPARTING mt re-
ceived yesterday by General Sale re-
moves the probability of change, and
the regiment will be put on 4 firm
basis.
