SCHOOL FACILITIES
Residents Demanding More and j
Better Institutions—Willing
to Pay More Taxes.
Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
KINO OEOROE. VA.. March 12.—
rhere seems to be an awakening of
.he country in higher education, and
he recent visit of E. H. Russell, State
»xamlner of public schools, gave a
lew Impetus to the cause.
Mr. J. Aubrey Newblll, president of
he King George Teachers' Associa
tion, is making strenuous efforts to
nave the schools In the Shiloh Dis
trict consolidated Into a first class
traded school, preparatory to a high
ichool at Shiloh. Superintendent
Coakley and the patrons of the va
rious schools In that district heartily
co-operate with Mr. Newblll In this
endeavor, except the people of Index,
who refuse to listen to this propost
litlon, and Insist that a large graded
school shall be established at Index,
where work preparatory to high
school work can be done.
An advanced school Is much needed
at present. The pupils, who should
be In a high school, are deprived of
that advantage.
At Oak Grove, Westmoreland coun
ty. the Improvement of public schools
Is uppermost In the minds of tub
people at this time. At a recent meet
ing of the school board, with Super
intendent George Murphy present, the
propoelUon to erect a large graded
school building was discussed, and
there Is but little doubt that In the
near future this will be done. A new
school house Is also to be built be
tween Oak Grove and Potomac Mills.
It is believed that in another year
these Improvements will be complet
ed.
At a recent meeting at Newlajjd,
Richmond county, the School Im
provement League, in executive ses
sion, unanimously voted to Instruct
the board of county supervisors to In
crease the district school levy a euf
clent amount to raise money to build
and to maintain a high school tie this
community. The tax will have to be
Increased for several years for this
purpose.
MUNICIPAL PRIMARY
MAY CAUSE SPLIT
(Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
NORFOLK. VA.. March 12.—Nor
folk’s approaching municipal primary
for the nomination of two members
of the Board of Control and half of
the membership of both branches of
the City Council promises to be the
most interesting this city has expe
ilenced In many years.
Mayor James Q. Riddick, at one
time the real Gibraltar of the lot#
"Good Government" faction of the
Democratic party, but for the past
rour years allied with the so-called
-ring" of the city, to out with an an
nouncement that he Is after the scalp
of Thomas S. Purdle, a member of
the Board of Control.
A rather strange thing, and one
that only adds strength to that old
adage that "Politics makes strange
bed-fellows,” to the fact that Purdle
went Into office a staunch Good Gov
ernment man. hated and feared by
thoee at the "ring.” but to now loved
by those who once hated him. and
will la all probability have the sup
port of the machine despite the ob
jections of Mayor Riddick.
The mayor wants to see J. B. Jones,
a prominent dttoen and a brother at
the late Tiberius Gracchus Jones, for
whose murder Sam Hardy was con
victed. put on the ticket In place of
Purdle. It to even whispered that If
Purdle's defeat cannot be assured by
any ether means the mayor to will
ing to*Uke the burden on hto own
shoulders, give up hto job as chief
executive of the city and become a
candidate for a position on the Board
of Control himself.
The salary of a member of the
Board of Control to 14,000 per annum,
while the ialary of the mayor to only
S1.S00.

any such attempt was made there
would be a smashed aeroplane and
possibly a damaged aviator."
