the great southwest, and Cyrus Nc
Cormick, who made it possible for
one farmer to do the work of ten.
What an amazing history the state
has, including the first settlement at
Jamestown, the conclusive battlefield
of Yorktown, and the many terrible
battles of the Civil war.
Many of her great leaders wished
to do away with slavery, and 25
years before the war had plan
mapped out to emancipate the slaves.
1t could have been done and the war
prevented had reason prevailed
Among other great men who fore
saw and sought to prevent civil war,
by emancipation of slaves was Thom-
as Jefferson.
In Richmond also stands bronze
monument to r. E. Lee, on the spot
where he took command of the
armies of Virginia.
We enjoyed our stay OF few days
in williamsburg, the ancient capitol
of Virginia. To restore it to it's
pristine loveliness, J. D. Rockefeller
gave $20,O0O,OO0. We stopped at
the ..Bullhead Tavern 1t is said
that Washington left the noisy gay
The Raleigh" had powder rooms
for both men and women, as is
shown in the restored edifice. At
the Bullhead, bright, un-poiled
negro boy of ten years waited on
us, SO bright he had reached the
eighth grade in school. His name
was John Marshall, and his name
and demeanor was such as to cause
a great deal of merriment among
the guests Another cause of inter-
est was the "Children's Stairway"
1t was so named because of the 81
children of Mrs. Nicholson, who liv-
ed here, and was sister Of the pro-
prietor of the hotel.
The old Gaol (jaiD, as restored,
has beds of straw on the floor, and
holes in the doors through which
food was given to the prisoners.
Pillories and stocks, with holes for
feet and hands, were much In evil
dence. 1t was day when many
prisoners for debt were incarcerated-
The prison was built in 1901. The
capitol was built two years earlier,
1899. In no place in the United
States can one get better idea or
that early colonial day, than in this
old city restored by the Rockefellers.
OF course we visited the ruins OF
jamestown, with it's monuments TO
John Smith, and Pocahontas, York
town and it's momentous battlefield,
Wakefield the birthplace of Wash
ington, and on the way, Fredericks-
burg with it's four bloody battle
fields, Mount Vernon and Alexandria
At last we came to Arlington, the
unknown soldiers grave, the shin
ing Potomac, and in the distance
the Washington monument, the Lin
coin memorial, the Lee-Lincoln
peace bridge, the golden dome of the
capitol, and, crossing the river, said
our goodbye to "Ole Virginny. -

"CARRY ME BACK TO
OLE VIRGINNY"

Editor Democrat Gentle, kindly,
cultured men, and dignified. gracious
and charming women,-that is my
memory of "Ole Virginny." We
drove up the romantic valley of the
Shenandoah, for although it is down
when you look at the map, it is
really up the river Shenandoah. We
came first to Winchester, the home
of apples, then to historic Lexington.
Here at the grave and monument OF
Stonewall Jackson we stood with
bowed heads We recalled his dying
words: '.Boys let us cross over the
river, and rest under the shade of
the trees The Lee family burial
vaults are in the chapel OF Washing
ton-Lee University. One gazes long
at the recumbent statue of Robert
E. Lee. 1t reveals perfect face and
figure, and is a magnificent work of
art.
At AppomattoX there is scarcely a
sign of war left Appomattox court
house burned. The Maclean house,
where the treaty was signed by Lee
and Grant, was torn down for re-
moval to the St. Louis worlds fair.
1t was never taken away, and for
some time was heap of rubbish A
few markers and monuments remain
but they rust in the cutters where
they have fallen. Virginia has erect
ed a monument here to Lee. Vir-
ginia suffered as no other state, and
no reminder of surrender is fiaunted
here, as at Gettysburg.
You approach the National Bridge
with delight, as you first see it un-
der sylvan archways. Someone call
ed it bridge of God, structure
not made with hands, 1t is lofty,
it is 236 feet high, and is the age
long work of an ancient subterran-
can river. The cover, undermined,
fell in This part alone remains.
Autos every day cross over the
bridge. Often the driver does not
know it is the natural bridge he Is
crossing. Jefferson, who loved it,
received it as grant from George
III. We took some pictures of this
great wonder Much to our surprise
one revealed perfect contour of
the face Of George Washington. We
keep 1t yet.
We entered the Skyline Drive"
through a capacious tunnel in the
contorted rock. Hawksbill, the

COLLEGE ACCEPTS
 LOCAL STUDENTS
Six to Enter Freshman Class at New Britain
 in September

Six Waterburians are among the 154 young men and women who have been chosen for the 1888 freshman class which will enter Teachers College of Connecticut, at New Bri- tain, in September. The selection was made from one of the largest groups ever to apply for admission, according to President Herbert D. Welte.
 It is expected that the class will actually consist of only about 120 to 125 when studies actually com- mence. Dr. Welte said that a num- Der of new students drop out during the summer months due to their in- ability to pass the medical examina- ton, or for other reasons.
 The Waterbury students accepted include: Burleigh B. Allen, Mar garet L. Canning, Mary E. Fla hive, Olga Klesch, Lenore M. Demich and Shirley M. Pickett.
 Others from this vicinity include: Helen A. Boxx of Oakville, Barbara Crandlemire, Torrington; Lawrence we AsAoS\As 0OdNAAAA6 VO4As since June of two members of the Teachers College administrative staff were made known Monday when Dr. Herbert D. Welte an- nounced that Miss Serena H. Blod- gett, assistant dean of women, and Mrs. Phyllis B. Kittams, college die titian., had severed their connec- tions with the institution.
 Mrs. Kittams plans to enter St Lawrence University in the fall to complete course in dietetics. For the past three years she has been in charge of the college cafeteria and dining room.
 Miss Blodgett, who was appointed to succeed Miss Ruth A. Paul as assistant dean, had held that posi- tion since shortly after the start of the past college year. It is believed that appointments to fill the two vacant positions will be made before September.

Toledo Shows Way to Industrial Peace
Board Created to End Labor Strife Is Doing Just Exactly That
Bv NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Toledo, O., July 13-The Toledo Industrial Peace Board, formed here three years ago in an effort to see whether cities might not themselves keep their own indus trial peace, has handled 181 dis putes involving 30,481 employees up to June l5, 1888.
 In July of 1895 two strikes which brought bloodshed and death jolted Toledo. The town was frightened. Responsible leaders of all kinds de- cided that there must be better way. They tried to find it. COOPERATION
 NOT CONFUSION
 Edward McGrady, then assistant secretary of labor, who had helped settle the two violent strikes, pro- posed the plan. Local opinion was mobilized behind creation of "a composite forum, representing the community, to which either side can bring Its grievances, and which shall be of such repute and dignity that much trouble can be avoided"
 Ten members of the new board, five named by organized labor, five by employers, began testing out the plan June 5, 1885. The principles laid down then have been guiding the board ever since:
 l. The boards work is CO., operative and voluntary; it has no power to order anyone to do any, thing.
 2. Members try to think of themselves as representing the whole community and its interest in orderly industrial relations. 3. While the board offers its services in mediating disputes, it does not arbitrate, that is, make final decisions binding on both parties.
 4. It does not vote on the right" and "wrnog" of disputes, does not interfere with or assist in unionization campaigns, takes no position on questions like the "open shop" or "closed shop"
 REPUTATION
 STILL GROWING
 The first head of the board was Ralph A. Lind, borrowed from the MIRA administration. Then de- partment of labor official took over for another temporary period. So

 much had been accomplished that the city government decided to carry on the work at its own ex- pense.
 Edmund Rufin, newspaperman with wide experience in covering labor disputes, was then selected to head the board, and the city made an appropriation for his salary and the expenses of con- ducing the office. The director, of course, does most of the work, calling in members of the board only when his own efforts have failed to get results.
