Comments in Record.
The comments inserted in the
record by Mr.. Savage said, in part:
Equal justice under the law
becomes hollow mockery when
workingmen are hailed into the
courts of Alexandria. No one who
knew the courts Of Alexandra with
its machine-controlled Judges had
any doubt of the outcome of the
trial. Only in a lynch court can
such grave miscarriages of justice
occur"
Mr.. Smith told the Washington
Representative that Virginia has an
old custom Of attending to its own
business. He hoped, he said, that
Mr. Savage would heed an old
fashioned admonition against put

Mr.. Haycock recalled the bustles
the woman teachers wore and the
derby hats the man teachers sport

Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent OF the Board of Education,

ing superintendent has given his

golden thread of his kindness, his
unhurried Judgment, his tolerance
and thoughfulness of others"

to handicapped children Mr.. Hay
cock has developed since he became
an assistant superintendent of
