which he makes for industrial framing
in the public schools are most gratify-
ing. “A government of universal- suff-

and how our children are to be taught
is a supreme question. However much
we have done and are doing, it is plain
that we can and should do more.”
The Governor’s statement in regard
to the need of industrial education is
“The social, commercial

and industrial state of the Common-
wealth has almost wholly changed
i n the last thirty-five years. These
changes have imposed new conditions
that must be met with courage, energy
and intelligence, or we must fatally

civilization. Education for speculative

public schools make their living other
than by use of their hands and eyes.
Why not, therefore, educate those
faculties and members which produce
the substance and comforts of life?
Such education is not merely material.
Upon labor all civilization primarily
rests, and the education of this labor
will teach knowing by doing, and
blend science with art. It will beget
habits of order, accuracy, industry
and intelligence; it will produce con-
tentment and develop skill and produc-
tive power; it will dignify labor and
energize the creative forces of society.
Thesfe momentous needs can begreat-
ly facilitated, if not accomplished by
som'e forms of industrial education.
Ample experience affords indisput-
able proof of the practical and ethical-
value of this form of education, which
in some of its branches may be intro-
duced into many of our public schools
with little if any additional cost and

The Richmond Times has been open
ing its columns to discussions of public
school problems. Letters from clergy
men, teachers and laymen have called
for better schools, better schoolhouses,
better teachers and longer terms. Dr.
Frazer, the representive of the South
ern Education Cemmitte, made some
statements in regard to conditions in
certain of the rural districts of Virgi-
nia which created some feeling. They
revealed a condition of affairs as
regards school houses and teachers
that the people of Virginia ought to
know and when they do know will in-
sist on having remedied. These con-
ditions are not peculiar to Virginia.
Dean Russell, of the Teachers College
of New York, has made statements in
regard to the rural schools of the Em-
pire State which show that with all
its wealth, New York has not solved
the country school problem.
But country school problem in the
South is more important one than in
the« North because of the larger propor
tion of the people living in the country
and the fact shown by the last census
that the whole urban population of the
North is largerly on the increase, in
the South it is decreasing, while the
rural population is increasing. The
thanks of all friends of education are
due the Richmond Times for the help
it is rendering the cause of public schools
in the state.—The Southern Workman.
