VIRGINIA MAY CARRY
ITS OWN INSURANCE
Commission on Simplifcation Of
Government Sees Huge
Saving Possible.
speciaI Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star
RICHMOND, Va. September s.
The state is to rid itself of the pay
ment of heavy insurance premiums
on her buildings. provided the next
legislature adopts the recommenda-
ton of the commission on simplifica-
tion Of government, which has recon-
mended that the state carry its own
insurance. The recommendation of
the commission on this point was
unanimous. The state is paying large
sums for insurance on about 25 per
cent of the value of the buildings
in all parts of the state. and it has
been determined that the saving of
this premium will provide for the
possible losses that will occur.
The commission is seriously dis
cussing the advisability of recon-
mending that the state also carry
it's own protection for the hundreds
of state employees. the contention
being that money in large sums will
be saved, the losses for the time that
the law has been operative having
been contrasted with the amount of
the losses incurred. and it is pointed
out that the state can save so per
cent of the actual premiums.

And have no fear! That story shall
stand. The cities and masters have
builded. the statues and sculptors
carved, the pictures and the books of
the masters have an end, but the
work of the teacher has no end, but
carries into eternity.
AS the race goes on, the teachers
work goes on. The teacher creates
the spirit of man. Surely no teacher
will fail, then?
Somewhere, in some teachers room
today, there sits the leader. for whom
his day is waiting. What teacher will
fail him? Not one, for such is the
mission of teachers.
