day to class of twenty-siX
What does the soldierly spirit i'm

address. Mr.. Gregg said, 1T means
superiority to the mercenary motive.
IT is the upright Of loyalty. not only

that are often lost sight of in our
modern life. obedience. patience. self
control. and it Is the spirit of viewing
life. not as a problem, but as an adj
venture. Armstrong and Frissell
thought of their work, not as vast
and difficult problem. but az a glorious.
wonderous adventure in which they
we're glad 20 engage"
Bishop George w. Clinton, of Char

as the outcome of false views con-
corning mans relations and duties to-
ward his fellow man, especially when
the fellow man happens to be of a
different class or race.
The Hampton commencement stu
cent address indicated the serious vet

RECEIVE MANY INQUIRIES
Value OF Properly Kept Vital Statistics
Is Being Dniiy Demon
ktr0feh

The Bureau of Vital Statistics is re-
ceivinE in considerable number re-
quests for information as to the ages
of children born prior TO the date on
which the Virginia law went into effect
requiring the registration Of births and
deaths. which date was June IA, 1912
In very large proportion OF cases
those seeking the information are do
ing so in order to ascertain whether
or not permits may be granted such
children TO take employment in in
dustries forbidden TO employ those of
tender years.
These inquiries. while there is no
way to reply to them with the desired
information, at least serve to demon
strate the very great value of cor
rectly-preserved vital statistics. In a
few cities of the State such informa-
tion has. been preserved by local
authorities. AS "A rule. however, em=
ployers Of child labor must be guided
by such evidence as the children
themselves, their parents or guardians
may supply. and must frequently risk
unwistinsly violating the law by not
receiving proper information. In
years TO come the children themselves
as we'll as the manufacturers and other
employers will be adequately protected
by the official data on ile with the
Bureau of Vital Statistics.
