WILSON MADE BEST
RECORD OF THE WEEK.
BY J. Kelly Perry.

By J. Kelly Perry.
By grabbing off five games and tie
ing the sixth played, Wilson continu-
ed their winning stride and made the
record for the week. This string of
victories ran their total up to seven
straight and shows a record OF hav-
ing won seven, tied one and lost one
in the last three series staged, these
games being played against Rich
mond, Petersburg and Suffolk. For
the week ending with games played
Wednesday, May 25, Portsmouth
dished out the next best record, hav-
ing won four of their five battles.
Norfolk showed a decided improve
ment, taking one from Suffolk and
cleaning up in Richmond by winning
the two games played, making total
of three victories against two de-
feats. Suffolk, who made an excellent
showing last week, won two, tied one
and lost two. Rocky Mount and Rich
mond won two and lost three, while
the best Petersburg could do was
to win two of the five played. New
port News suffered five defeats out
of six starts
Pitcher Meeker of the Colts landed
the leadership in batting per centage
when he made three safeties off La
bate in four attempts and hit cleanly
the one time he faced Warhop. By
getting these four hits in five times
up he jumped his average from .278
last week to .391.
BY continuing his terrific -clouting
of the last few weeks, Glockson,
Portsmouth's slugging first saeker,
has passed Walters for the real lead
ership of the league. He is leading |
in total bases with 81 made on 81 |
hits, is ahead in 3-base drives with !
four, second in home runs with three
and is third in doubles with eleven.
The big boy is also tied with Henges |
and Champlin for second honors in |
runs made with "a to his credit. He
has stolen four bases. xEaA.

average. |
Voter continues to show the way
in scoring and stealing bases. In
twenty-four games he has cashed in J
thirty times and purloined thirteen
bags. Champlin, Lake and Methag
are in a triple tie for second base
stealing honors, having swiped nine
each.
In sacrifice hitting Methag leads
with eight, and Voter, Champlin and
Hook are tied with seven.
Currie and Head are tied up for
second honocs in the total base de-
partment with fifty-four, while Goose
tree has made the most safeties, thir-
ty-six. Goosetree also leads in 2-base
hits with fourteen.
Baker, Stuart, Currie, Methag and
Miller are tied for second place in
3-base hits, all having made three.
Luke Stuart broke the home-run
tie when he landed on Lefty Loach
for his fourth. Henges, Bangs, Clock
SON, Woods and Currie are knotted
with three.
After hitting safely in eleven |
straight games, Walters was stopped |

"A distinct feature of yesterday

A distinct feature Of yesterday S
contest was Walters play on Hollo-
man. Ho11oman had been sacrificed
to second by Peterson and Walters
secured possession of the ball hiding
it somewhere about his copious jeans.
The next thing apparent was Rasty's
rubbing the ball on Mr.. Holloman,
who was surprised gent for fair.
An old trick seldom worked but
when it does get by it's just as good
as a grandstand play.

DIAMOND DUST

Things are livening up in the Vir-
ginia League. Every day some
thing develops of an interesting ma
ture. When it isn't a League record
being broken, an umpire assaulted,
or hitless game pitched, some fell
low breaks loose and pulls the un-
usual. In yesterdays game between
the Suffolk Cats and the Petersburg
clan Poole and Gabby Street of Suf-
molk had spat on the Suffolk bench
and it ended by Gabby landing hay
maker to Poole's jaw for the count.
They can't even wait for Dempsey
and Carpenter for July 2 is quite
a distance away. The moral is that
it doesn't pay to argue with the
manager when he carries the supe-
rior punch.
The daily times., 1921-05-28

But for the fact that we need to-
days game we could wish Norfolk
a victory. They are just a notch
ahead of Newport News, who is now
occupying the place long made warm
by Wilson'S lowering over the nest.
We are out of the cellar now, how
ever, and if the team keeps going as
it has lately we are going to be right
up near the top of the ladder before
many moons. If Petersburg should
lick Suffolk today while we take one
from Norfolk we would be in third
place, and then comes the test with
Rocky Mount on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday,.
The daily times., 1921-05-28

Wilson, Richmond, Portsmouth
and Suffolk won yesterday. Wilson
is perched in fourth place with
Rocky Mount running her close
race for the honor; Suffolk is just a
half game ahead, while less than
100 points separates us from Rich
mond. Here's hoping that Newport
News knocks Portsmouth down
notch today while we take another
from Norfolk.

and repeat them in a clear tone and
with good expression.
Sometimes it IS speech of the wise
Nestor to the Greeks before Troy
Or with Ajax ne makes. stand to

Or he learns by heart the brave old
tales, and grows to understand
mot hate, but glory, made those
chiefs contend,
And each brave foe was in his soul

Inspired by such grand words the
boys will grow up to do brave deeds
in battle some day themselves.
When they can read and write and
count, and reckon by numbers a little,
the lessons in music win begin. For
although the law of Scion teaches
only that every Athcnian must learn
to read and to swim, no less surely
must every Athenian learn to sing
and to play on the lutte or cithara. For
he must be able to sing the great
paean when he goes into battle, to
join in the sacred choruses in honor
of the gods; and also, in time OF
peace, he must know how to play and
sing for the pleasure OF himself and
his friends in company.

That you may know; Cleon well, !

to have one or not. 49, -

But if you look in the great IN

and 70 child" So'y you see that in
Greece, where the word came from,
a pedagoeue was one who led a child.
Every man in Athens who could
afford it bought slaves. These slaves
were the captives' taken from other
nations in war, and sold for greater
o1''Iess prices according, to their abil-
ity. A man or woman who could only
cook might be bought for a NINA of
silver, while a learned man, who
could oftentimes teach not only the
children but the father himself, might
cost a thousand. drachmas: ~
Among the family slaves was al
ways' pedagogue, who, as soon as
the little boys of six left the care of
their mothers and nurses, led them
30 school, and went with them to their
games. They watched over them in
every. way, that they might form no
bad habits; and that they might also
notice and become interested in all that
was best and most beautiful.
They led them to school, and then
left them with the .schoolmaster::.

them to the gymnasium, where there

and when he was still a very little
boy, only five years old, he one day
climbed up the steps that led to his
mothers bed. You must know that
going UP stairs to bed was exactly
what they always had to do in Athens,
for the bedsteads were so high as to
need several steps to reach them.
Well. he climbed up stairs onto his
mothers bed, and, wrapping his lit
tie chiffon across his breast. with one
arm, held out the other as he had seen
| the orator do when his nurse led him
past the marble porticoes, where the
people were often gathered to hear
some wise man speak. And then, in
his baby-talk, he made little speech,
beginning, Citizens of Athens"
Though his father and mother did
mot appear to take special notice of
this at the time, they afterwards said
one TO the other: "Our boy will be-
icome an orator; we must see that he
studies the works of the poets"
So, even before he can handle the
stylus, he has begun to study the
grand, heroic verses of Homer; not
from a book, for l am sure you must
know that there were no printed books
in those days, and few written ones.
His master taught him, being quite
as careful that he should stand grace

arms and hands al ease, as that he

0ne Immigrant

A very Intelligent young woman,
daughter of an exiled Russian revolu-
zionist, has just undertaken an in
vestigation of our immigrant service:
and has published an account of her
adventures. She made the expert
ment in behalf of number of earnest
people who were interested in find
ing out whether the white slavers
were at work, as reported, in abduct-
ing young girls emigrating to this
country from Russia and the Balkans
Her report shows these accusations
to be unfounded and speaks eloquent
ly, not only in behalf of our immigra-
ton authorities, but likewise as to
the kindness of heart displayed by
Americans to the stranger within
their gates. She landed at Ellis
Island, met nothing but courtesy and
hclpfuinesS, was sent safely to the
Pennsylvania Station in New York,
got on the train, was carried to
central New Jersey town, told when
to get off, placed by the conductor
in charge Of a big-hearted Irish po-
hceman, who, in turn, put her on a
street car and told the conductor to
see that she got off at the right
street. She had merely a dirty scrap
of paper, with the name of the town:
and the street address scrawled upon
it. The street car conductor, when
she opened her purse to pay her fare:
disclosing gold and silver coins, made
signs to her to close it quickly, took
out the right change for her fare,
and put her off at her street, indicat-
ing by signs where she was to go.
Here she met a number of street
urchiAs, who read the number of the
house, escorted he: to it and rang
the bell for her The young woman
was. not supposed to speak or under
stand English. and was dressed in
an uncouth peasant costume of the
Old Country. She says, in conclu-
sion: "My white slave investiga-
ton? I did not find any organized
traffic; there seldom is, but just fool
ish women and vicious men.

was always one room set apart for
the boys. Here they were trained in
racing, wrestling, anc all manly
games.
But we shall understand it. all bet
ter if we go to school with Cleon and
see what he does there
The pedagcgue leads him to school
az sunrise. On Monday morning do
you suppose? Oh no; there were no
Mondays and no weeks.-at least no
sgeeks like ours. Three decades made
month: Some months had thirty
days, and in those each decade was, as
it's name shows, ten days; but others
had only twenty-n!ne days, and then
the last decade had but nine; and as
for the names Of the days, they were
only first, second, third, and so on.
School began at sunrise and end
cd at sunset, but 1 hope the same set
of boys did not stay all that time.
Cleon is even earlier than usual
his morning; for Glaucon--a boy two
or three years older than himself
IS still busy washing the benches with
Il great sponge: while Lysias grinds
Tie ink for the parchment writing and
wakes the tablets. These boys are
100 poor to pay teacher, and yet
they have a great love of learning, so
hey are working for the schoolmaster,
who will pay them in teaching.
Little Cleon is still in the young
est class; learning to read and to re-
peat poetry, but next year he will

The pointed end, and afterwards .rubs
out the letters and .snlooths over the

is all ready for new lesson.
He has little classmate named
Atticus, who found it almost impos-
sible to learn his letters, although in
the way of mischief there was moth
ing Atticus couldn't learn. So at last
his father took, him away from school
and bought twenty-four little slaves
of the same age as his son.. These
little fellows he named Tor the letters
Of the alphabet,-not A, B, c, but
Alpha, Beta, ETC., and he hired
achoolmaster to teach the whole
twenty-five together. And it wasn't
long before Atticus, who shouted to
Gamma to catch the ball, or called
Delta to run a race with him, had
learned all the letters and begun to
put them together to make words.

lion; the weeklies reach the rest OF
the inhabitants. Of the los million
people of the United States it is safe
to say that Is million read the papers
daily and weekly. This does not in
clude the millions that read the mag
azines. No other country in the world
can even approach this magnificent
showing.
This is Education Week. All the
talk has been on school and college
neutrality-suspicious. in this broad
land. We are glad of it. The schools
need encouragement; they need fos-
tering: they need money; they need
sympathetic administration. Strange
to say they have their enemies. But
they likewise have those who would
die in their defense, if need be!
The newspaper is one of the great
est two educational forces of modern
times. But it needs no encourage
ment; no fostering hand; no sym
pathetic public. Newspapers have no
enemies, as such! People buy them
and read them as they buy bread
They don't care who raised the wheat.
They don't care who furnishes the
news. They must have that as they
have bread. News is neutral, cold, I'M
sympathetic. 1t happens as the sun
rises; an memorable phenomenon Of
human existence
That is why we are glad that the
other great educational force-school
education-has had the week all to
itself. We believe in public educa-
ton as we do in the Bible. We be-
lieve, too, in newspapers. But they
can be depended on always to take
care Of themselves.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Education Week

We publish today in our news
columns a recapltulation of the
weeks activities in behalf of Educa-
ton. On the part OF the readers OF
the Gazette we have to thank the
School Board and the superintendent;
the president Of the Common Coun-
Gil; the Mayor of the city; the clergy
men of every denomination in Alex
andria; the patriotic four-minuie
speakers; the members of the FAC
ulsies Of the private schools; the
public-spirited women who represent
ed the different organizations de-
voted to the public welfare; the medi-
cal fraternity who did so much to
make the week a success; the man
agement Of. the Movie Theatres; the
devoted teachers of both the white
and colored schools; and, in
fact, the entire Citizenship Of Alex
andria. For We; believe that the
.
movement was as near 4 unanimous
expression OF public sentiment as il
is possible to approach. We may diff
fer DIS to methods, means, courses Of
study, and a thousarld-and-one Of the
minutiae OF, acquiring an education,
but we are as as unit in believing edu7
cation, itself, to be an. essential OF
life today. !, ~,
The names which appear elsewhere
in our, columns are veritabie roll
of honor. There is one name, how
ever, that. does not appear in the
list Of those who participated in the
exercises. But we feel that to that
one person is due much of the graft
flying success of the week. We refer
to Miss Mary D. Pierce, the super
visor of our public schools, to whose
tact and patience, and to whose in
defatigable labors in eo-ordinating the
various elements into-one harmonious
whole, Education Week in AleXan7
dria became SO notable an event.
