Proposed
Amendments
To Constitution of Virginia
Affecting the Public School
System.

Three amendments to the Con.
stitution OF Virginia which vital
ly affect the school system will
be voted on at the November
election. The people Of Virgin
Ia are urged to give very serious
consideration to these amend
mcnts. Patriotic concern for ma
tional issues in the fall election
ought not to obscure interest in
most important state problem.
The well-being and the de-
velopmcnt of the state school
system will depend upon the
vote on these amendments.
They are recommended by in
Vulnerable patrons leagues, civ
&c associations, teachers associa-
tons, and school boards, and by
hundreds of other tax payers.
The American Legion, Depart
mcnt of Virginia, heartily en-.
dorscs these amendments and
urges that they be passed. They
have the endorsement of tho
State superintendent Confer
encc, the State Trustees Asso.
citation and the State Teachers,
Association. They are urgently
recommended by the State Board
of Education. The Education
Commission, which made a care

amendments as absolutely fun.
damental to the DEVELOPMENT of
tho schools.
The amendments proposcd
were studiously considered liz
the Assembly of Virginia of
1918 and of 1920, and were
passed by both assemblies. They
need now only the favorable vote
of the people OF the state to be-
come part of the Constitution.
The platform of the Democrat
