The Children's Day exercises at
Talmage in the morning and at Will
lowdale in the evening were largely
attended by the people Of both COM
munities and the programs were very
interesting and carried through In
excellent shape to the delight of all
witnessing them. Nothing Is more
pleasing to the average grown up
than a program put on by the little
tots from the beginners In the Sun
day school to those Of the Junior de-
partment. No one can 60 from such
an exercise without desire to give
the children better opportunity fol
development. The great task Of the
adult Of any generation is to aid in
developing and training the children
that they may carry the race to
higher levels in the future. This is
the lesson Of Children's Day. The
committee on arrangements for these
two programs deserve great credit
for their work and sacrifice and the
children are especially to be praised
for their work. No service was helt

STATE NEEDS COOPERATION
Kansas Behind Other States IN luz
berculin Tests

The government report on tuDer-
culOsis eradication work In cO-opera-
ton with states during last Fepru-
ary saws there were 70 herds COM
pose dof 2,494 cattle tuberuculin test
ed i'm Kansas, of which 81 reacted 10
the test, according to G. Il. Osborn
local inspector.
"There are 23O herds that have
pasesd one free test, 1874 herds are ac-
credited and we have $50 herds under
federal supervision in this state, SAID
Mr.. Osborn. "Kansas is behind many
of the states in this eradication WORK
and we should speed up. Indiana mas
2,O12 herds once tested free, ana -
44S9 herds under federal supervis-
ion. One state tested 400 herds COM
posed of S,3OS cattle, Of which 1,5ol
reacted to the test. They have 2,loo
herds under federal supervision. An
other state tested 1872 herds COM
posed of 1867 cattle, OF which only
7 reacted to the test. They have y
O49 herds under federal supervision.
From this report we note that
Kansas stockmen have not as many
of their herds under federal supervis-
ion for the tuberculin test as some
Of the other states. People shouid
acouaint themselves with the situa-
ton and help speed up the work for
when the. disease is in the herd II
spreads rapidly from animal to ami
NAL, not only among the cattle but
NAV infect the hogs, poultry, sheep,
goats. horses and also the people.
During the year 1908 in Washington
d. c., 10 per cent Of the cattle were
found to be tubercular. The tuper-
culin test has been applied regularly
since that time and during the four
last years only one-half Of one per
cent of the cattle have reacted TO the
test SO it may be seen that with co
operation from all concerned his DIS
ease that is costing our country so
much in lives and money may ne
ergdfeated."

that such a resolution could not be

automobiIists who frequent the

trafic over this improved road.
Friday night, fifteen cars. mostly
of prominent residents of Lynch

the occupants being afraid to return
to town because no one was armed
After waiting awhile one car came
up IN which there was a revolver
and the owner of this went back to
the scene OF the rock throwing and
fired at the men. Motorists are now
urging all who go that way to go
armed. The road Is a part of the

VIRGINIA SUMMER
QUARTER CLOSES
Enrolment of 2,731 Exceeds
Last Years Record
By S97.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Sept. 4.
The summer quarter OF the Uni
versity of Virginia closed yesterday.
In every respect IT was the most
successful session in its history. The
total enrolment for both terms this
year was 2,713; deducting dupli-
Gates for the second term, the net
enrolment of individual students
for the quarter was 2,42s, an IN
crease of Ss7 over any previous
year.
OF the total enrolment, 2,161
were from Virginia and $50 from
twenty-eight other States and three
nificant features OF the enrolment
first term every county in the State
was represented, and in the second
term ninety-two counties were rep22
resented.
There were 1904 women and 7os
men. The following statistics are
indicative of the character of the
student body: 1877 were registered
for university credit courses, 703
were at least graduates of acored-
tied high schools and enrolled for
elementary professional work; 81
were registered for the renewal OF
certificates and 500 were pursuing
advanced work for no special credit,
though of college grade.
The States outside of Virginia
that were more largely represented
were. in order of enrolment: North
Carolina, with 139: South Carolina,
80; Maryland. 46; West Virginia, 3S;
Tennessee and Georgia, each 81. and
the remainder varying from to rs.
Another gratifying feature was
the enrolment of students from the
Northern and Western section of the
country, there being from Con-
nect-icut, 4 from Delaware. 3 from
Illinois, from Indiana, from
Massachusetts, 5 from Missouri and
Is from New Rork.
There were more than 125 gradu-
ate students in the first term and a
large number in the second term.
In the future a much larger number
of strictly graduate courses will be
offered for the purpose of encour-
aging this class of students to come
to Virginia for their masters work
rather than go North at much
greater expense.
