Thanksgiving Proclamation.

In again coming to Almighty God
to render thanks for His goodness
and mercy, we should all remember
that scarce three centuries have pass
ed since our New England fathers
instituted this festival, meant to
gather up in thought all the mercies
of a twelvemonth, all the bounties Of
the harvest, all the many gifts Of
God. In this brief period we have
made our history and this history
shows a people, blessed with great
material and social progress, devoted
to industry and the betterment of
mankind, united and with a common
purpose, And now has come to US
the supreme test, for in the cruciole
of war we are testing the quality of
our ideals, firm in the faith that
when the metal is poured it will be
found pure.
AS a people let us acknowledge to
Almighty God the many and great
blessings Of the past; let US implore
Him to continue these favors which
He has long vouchsafed; let us hum
bly, beseech Him to steady and
strengthen US through this, the great
est crisis in the worlds history; let
us implore Him to watch over those
who have gone beyond the seas to
fight our battles; let US commit to
His care those who may become wild
ows and orphans and mothers who
may be called upon to give their sons
to their country. May he soon heal
the wounds of all the world and guide
US from the paths of war and desola-
ton again to those of peace and in
dustry. Let us remember that
ga mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing"

Let all the people of the state, for

favor.

eight millions of revenue enrolled
1850 more pupils than Minnesota
with twenty-six millions Of revenue.

years the salaries and expenses OF its
officers and employees, as paid by the
state, increased from $1S,9S67S to
s27.1S5.94.
Thus it will be seen that an ex-
banding business, which in ten or
twelve large /and controlling items
has scored increases of from SO to
600 per cent, and has enlarged the
scope Of its financial operations more
than four million dollars, represents
an increase of less than $4,000 in
total expenses of the department and
an increase of only about $4,000 in
it's salary account.
Similar evidences of economy in
administrative expenses will be OBJ
served in examining the local expen-
ditures in counties and cities.

TO this round dozen Of highly de-
sirable features in modern school ad-
ministration must be added the three
fold plan of raising revenue by which
means the burden is placed partly on
state, partly on county, and partly
on district funds.
Strictcst Economy Exercised.
The creation of these basic facifi-
ties has rested mainly on the state
board of education and the depart
ment of public Instruction. Upon
the latter body especially has de-
volxed the serious responsibility Of
practical execution. This task was
rendered difficult by the limited
amount of funds available for the
large ends in view. The exercise of
the strictest economy was imperative.
That moderation and good judgment
prevailed Is witnessed by the fact
that during session 19l5-l6 the de-
partment of public instruction di-
rected a business involving an ex-
penditure of $7,712.6S600 at a cost
to the state of SAL. S35.45. This was
only one-half of one per cent on the
basis of funds disbursed.
The general administration Of
school affairs In Virginia has also
furnished striking evidences of sound
economy as well as splendid efficien
cy. This is best shown, perhaps, in
the recent comparison with the
wealthy state of Minnesota, which

The exercise Of this administrative
economy has caused the initiation OF
budget system for the state at
large. While this system has not
been completed, some of its essential
principles are now in practical op-

now in force requiring local school
boards to present a carefully prepar
ed budget before any school levy or
appropriation can be demanded.
School boards are also required to
publish an itemiZed statement of ex-
penditures.

public instruction recently prepared
an exhaustive survey of the finan-
cial needs of the schools. present and

is confidently believed that this sur
vey win result in placing the school
system on a permanent and even
more practical business basis.
So much for recent progress.
Broad Plans for the Future.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1917-08-05

Turning to the future, the school
officials of the state are laying broad
plans for further and more assured
advancement They are seeking
larger funds for larger development,
with the firm belief that the fine
public sentiment now aroused will
place Virginia schools in the front
rank of modern thought and prog
ress. They are encouraged in this
belief not only by the achievements
of the past but also by the brilliant
promise of an ever-brightening flu
ture. Surely no expectations are too
roseatc for the years to come when
such a noted educator as DR.. a. e.
Winship can pay the following tri-
butte to educational progress in Vir-
ginia:
Virginia is campaigning against
illiteracy in royal fashion State SUI
perintendent r. c. Stearnes has once
once more demonstrated what cour-
age. devotion, wisdom and energy can
accomplish. All over the state great
things are being achieved, In
Buchanan county, which had the
sippi. with one exception, the whits
lliteracy has been greatly reduced.
In 1910 IL was 22,3 per cent between
the ages of ten and twenty; now II 10
but SIS per cent and County Super
intendent w. l. Ownbey says that
In 1920 he will reduce il to 2 per
cent In another district Superin
tendent Gavin Rawis, Carrsyille, has
already reduced white illiteracy from
Ill per cent in 1910 to Is per cent
in 1915, and colored illiteracy from
. T.. a
in 1915. These two fairly represent
the achievement in all Virginia"
