VIRGINIA SCHOOLS
APPROACH AVERAGE

Richmond, Dec. 16.-The length of
the public school term in Virginia last
session practically reached the average
term for the Nation of eight (8)
months for all schools, white and col
ored, city and rural. This is q new
attainment for the public schools OF
the Commonwealth and represents an
increase of one month in the length of
the school term since 1910. At that
time the average length Of school
term in Virginia was seven months,
according to an announcement given
out by the State Department OF Educa-
ton yesterday.
The time has been in, Virginia, and
it is perhaps still true in isolated sec
tions, that the school term has been
so short, five or six months, that the
local school has made little impression
upon its community. In fact, it has
been out of session many months IN
the year as it has been in session with
the result that those not sending chill
dren to school have hardly discovered
its existence" said Superintendent
Harris Hart yesterday. But the
present outlook is for the attainment
at an early date of nine months
school term for the rural schools such
as the city schools already have"
When the school term runs but seven
months it requires fourteen years for
child to complete the equivalent of
standard eleven-year elementary and
high school course combined. When
schools are running on an elght
months basis it requires II IA years to
complete the same amopnt of school
ing. The obvious Importance OF
standard school term is revealed by
these Considerations as well as many
others.

BARRIERS HAVE BIG
MIGHT AT TABERNACLE {

The BARRIERS meeting last night
was the largest the tabernacle has yet
seen. There were eighteen BARRIERS
there and they presented the barber
of the evening, Bill Cane, with a
beautiful bouquet of yellow chrysan-
themums.
In the absence of Messrs. Scott and
Harper, Eugene Palmer was in
charge, and he did his duty we'll not
only in the singing but in all an
nouncements and the introduction.
The singing was most hearty and Joy
full and filled the big shed" with
music.
The sermon was on Repentance"
THE greatest mistake that the world
of today is making is in not recogniz-
ing sim" the speaker said. Repent
ance is the most important theme in
the Bible. The intellect first ac-
knowledges that there is one and only
one God, and then the heart is reach
ed. 1t is divine gift and not offered
to many; only to those who are will
ing to receive. The first most impor-
tant thing to do in order to be re-
pentant is to make restitution Until
that Is done there can be no joy in
your heart God will always make
good His promise if He is met half
way. If | could | would take you in
my arms and lay you down at the foo
OF the cross, but | cannot 1t Is you
and you only who can receive the
crown Of glory through repentance.
