ALONG CAME RUTH NEW VIOLADANA
 PICTURE IS HERE
METRO STAR SAID TO HAVE BIG COMEDY ROLE IN RURAL
 STORY

Beautiful, broke, but brave-that' s the position the heroine of picture is sure to find most appealing to her audiences-and that's exactly the way Viola Dana starts off in her latest Metro picture, "Along Came Ruth which opens at the Liberty Theatre | tonight.
 Miss Dana needs only clever story punctuated with amusing situations and she's off-to the delight of every one who sees her. "Alorg Came Ruth" is just that kind of a story, and the tiny Metro star proves she's as attrac- tive when she's pathetic as when she's funny, and vice versa. Vivacious Vi Dana has one of her best roles in that of the girl who woke up the sleepiest town in Maine and her engaging per- sonality makes it easy to understand why the whole town worshipped her.
 Fully Marshall who made such tre- mendous hits in "The Covered Wagon" and the "Hunchback of Notre Dame" plays the part of the proprietor of a furniture emporium, who grows to hate Ruth the more she does for him. It is said to be the most hilarious role of his career.
 Walter Hiers, who was starred in "Mr. Billings Spends his Dime," ap- pears in Along Came Ruth," as a rur- al politician.
 The story centers around Ruth Am brose, a pretty girl who has failed as commercial artist, but is bound to succeed at something. Broke, but with a defiant tilt to her chin, she ar rives in Action, Me-, and hires out for her board to the owner of down-at- the-heel furniture store for week. From that moment on, Action begins to liven up and live up to it's name, fairly singing with activities. She converts the dusty old store into a modern thriving establishment She pays off her employers debts by the successful sale she inaugurates.
 Every unmarried man in town falls in love with her, but she picks out the

EDUCATIONAL RANKING BY STATES: 1922

Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1925-05-08

That Virginia is making substan-
tial progress along educational lines
is clearly evident. An advance of
two places up the educational ladder
in two years means that if the stride
is continued the topmost rung is
none too great an attainment More
over, if the data were derived exclu-
sively from urban Virginia, the po-
sition arrived at would be surpris-
ingly high. The main deficiency is
to be found in the rural schools.
The Stacking forces OF social
heredity are hard to break. Many
fathers still can not see the need
of children improving much on the
education they themselves we're de-
MED One-teacher schools, altogeth-
er too numerous. continue to dot the
countryside, and will have to pre-
vail until all-year roads make pos

words, but one made with very
complete and understanding knowl-
edge of the trials and tribulations
a great people have had to endure
and make their way through to new
higher levels of civilization.
Index Numbers
The question naturally arises in
the mind of the reader as to what
were the items used in determining
these ranks, and just what is meant
by an index number In this con-
nection, it is well to state that there
are few, if any governmental activi-
ties for which so many significant
facts have been gathered, by uni
form methods, over so long period
of time as has been done in the
matter of education. A comprehen-
siye method of indicating school
conditions and tendencies is the in
dex number, a well established sta
tistical device commonly used for
measuring changes in wholesale and
retail prices and rates of wages over
long periods of time, and which num-
Der lends itself readily in denoting
changes, conditions, and costs of ed
ucation over period of years.
The 10 sets of educational data
that are considered by the Ayres
method in determining the index
number are as follows: l. Per cent
of school population attending school
daily. @ Average days attended by
each child of school age. 8. Aver
age number of days schools were
kept open. A. Per cent that high
school attendance is of total attend
ance. S. Per cent that boys are
of girls in high schools. 6. Average
annual expenditure per child at
/ tending Z. Average annual ex
penditure per child of school age
s. Average annual expenditure pc
teacher employed. 8. Expenditur,
per pupil for purposes other thar
teachers salaries. 10. Expenditur,
per teacher for salaries.
i The sum of these 10 factors ii

proportion these educational disad-
vantages apply.
There are dozens of instances OF
consolidation-of progress in all OF
these matters. No better monu-
ments can be raised in a community
than a good school and good
church. The citizenship of Vir-
ginia have got to learn that the big
gest state interest and investment is
that of public education. And they
should have the obligation very dep
ly upon their hearts that today they
are building the state OF tomorrow.
A state that can find ia millions of
dollars for automobiles, no incon-
siderable part of which is for plea
sure driving, can easily find the few
additional millions necessary to af-
ford a more reasonable equality of
educational opportunity for the
country boy and girl. and the best
of modern education for every fu-
ture citizen of the state.
Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1925-05-08

In the above rating it is interest
ing to note that Shenandoah Coun-
ty stands GARD among the counties
of Virginia. This puts Shenandoah
County at least 10 points above any
of the adjoining Virginia counties,
and in one case. "a points above an
adjoining Virginia county.
The general index of the state is
74.S6, while the general index of
Shenandoah County is TITS. This
puts Shenandoah County 2.32 above
the general index of the state. The
above figures are taken from the
University of Virginia News Letter.
and were prepared by DR.. Wilson Gee
of the University.
