SURVEY Of WILSON
NORMAL IS URGED
Several Issues Brought Up by
Kramer in Report on
the School.

Urgent need of "thoughtful' sur
svey of the present organization OF the
Wilson Normal School looking toward
its future development is stressed by
Stephen +. Kramer, first assistant SUI
perntendent of schools, in his annual
report, released for publication as the
sixth section of the annual report OF
Supt. Frank w. Ballou.
The educational purposes of the
school should be clearly agreed upon
and defined, Mr.. Kramer emphasized.
Some OF the questions to be consld-
erred, he said, seem to be:
rs the purpose of the school TO
train and provide teachers for the Dis
.triCt of Columbia or to provide a
higher education of a professional
character for the young men ana
women of the District of Columbia?
should the emphasis of the course
be placed upon a high degree of rou-
tine training and practice in the de-
tails of the classroom management or
upon a broad conception of the neld
of education and a real interest III
education as a science?
Ought Va to consider at once the
advisability of limiting the size of
classes graduated or should we con-
,tInue 10 accept all applicants who are
graduates of high school"
The law passed in 1873 provides
that graduates of the Washington
Normal School shall be given prior
claim in appointment. Should a mod
.ification of this law be sought where
by certain percentage of positions
might be filled by persons in competi-
lion with the graduates of the normal
school or ought an excessive pedagogi-
cal inbreeding be prevented by a linn
itation upon its number of pupils ad-
mitted 10 the normal school,"

PAGEANT AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH

A simple, but beautiful and i'm
pressive pageant will be presented
by the Sunday School of the Christian
Church, Sunday evening, December
81, at 1880 o'clock.
Chief interest in the story as re-
vealed by the pageant centers in
three characters which are an imper-
sonation of the Star, Love and 10y
atty. The story grows in interest as
scene after scene portrays the jour
ney of Love and Loyalty from their
far distant home in the Orient,
guided by the Star, across the desert
the mountains, through the valleys
and finally across the plains to
Bethlehem, where they rejoice in the
knowledge and the realization of the
promised Messiah in the person of
the Christ-Child, the new born babe
Graded in the manger.
A very cordial invitation is ex-
tended to all to attend this special
service.

MUHLENBERG CELEBRATION

Commemorative of the one hun
dred and fiftieth anniversary of the
famous Revolutionary episode, when
General Peter Muhlenberg cast aside
patriotic sermon in the little church
at Woodstock of which he was pas
tor, and startled his congregation as
he appeared in the uniform of a
continental Colonel, the Lutherans
of the Shenandoah Valley will OBJ
serve the incident on January IL,
1926
A committee of the Winchester
Conference of the Lutheran Synod of
the Valley. in conjunction with
Emanuel Lutheran Church. Wood
stock, has prepared a program for
the celebration, and it is anticipated
that many prominent Lutherans will
be in Woodstock on that occasion.
Among the distinguished guests
will be Captain Frederick Mullen
berg of Reading. Pa, world wal
veteran and lineal descendent oil
the famous preacher, patriot and
soldier. Rev. DIR. A. r. Wentz, Of
Gettysburg, recognized authority
on church history. DR.. John w. Way

historian and Rev. Henry Marker o
Washington, who has made the lif'
of Muhlenberg a special study.

The county of Shenandoah will
gain s22,115.09 by the repeal of the
tax on land and tangible personal
property and public service corpora
tion realty, and will lose, including
all losses of townships, 4,78S.21 by
the transfer to the State of the in
tangibles tax, making a gain Of
S17,326.SS, which should be passed
directly to the taxpayer as a reduc
ton in his tax bill. If the transfer
7 of the 100000 road appropriation
is considered as a loss, notwithstand-
ing the increase in the one-cent gaso-
line tax deduct S7,699.4S additional
( for proportion of road appropriation.
4 This plan will not be effective I'M
til 1927.
Mr. Byrd welcomes suggestions in
regard to taxation and will send
copies of his plan with complete de
tails to all who request it. He stat
ed that in his judgment this plan
would settle the question which is
now disturbing the unity of Virginia
through the disparity of assessment
of real estate and tangible personal
property 1t will prevent the neces-
sity of establishing a state central
board to control real estate assess
ments, and at the same time will
give relief to the farmers and land
owners, and also to industries, and
remove a barrier now existing
against desirable new residents by
the virtually prohibitive rate on GER
tain classes of intangibles.
In conclusion, he said:
"Tax reform lies too close to the
heart of progress in Virginia to per-
NIT political differences to darken
or disturb the patriotic obligation to
accomplish a great work for the
State. But this work must be done
: within the boundaries prescribed by
: the expressed will of the people
They have declared themselves upon
the general principles upon which
: we may work out an improved tax
system. If some men of strong con
victions contrary to those express
dat the polls at the time of my
< nomination and election cannon
agree that the plan here outlined is
the best possible plan, nevertheless
a welcome them to join us in this
:, translation of the popular will, ex
I pressed in general terms, into a law
!. to be worked out in detail. For this
S reform, when accomplished, vii
/. quicken the progress that beckon'
e Virginia to few day of develop
: ment and prosperity. We are al
/ virginians, infinitely proud of GU
s state and all its sections. Can W
4 not get together and agree on tn
), noble conception that what is hes
for all is in the end best for each?
