Besides a center of learning, it served as the town hall where dances, lectures, and parties of all kinds took place. It served as a place for prayer meetings, professor Carver used to teach dancing lessons at The Academy, and when occasions arose for a dance to be held, the chandeliers from the Masonic hall-were borrowed to light the rooms. » Teat books used in the curriculum of the school consisted ofMdGuffey’s readers and spellers, Smith’s grammar, Davis’ arithmetic, and the Spencerian copy book. Music was furnished by the slates •UU acraicnmg pencils. . In contrast with the modern • hue system of transporting students to and from school, the pupils who attended The Academy wfco did not ride horseback ware compelled to walk two or three miles to school and back home each day. The back street to the school was a mud-hole .in bad : weather—-as were "he other streets of the town and all the roads in the county. According!, to the nvataorte*-**" William E. Compton, one of % oldest living students who attended the school, the student# participated fuil-spiritedly in numerous games—and, no doubt, a normal share of pranks. The games played , in that day were corner ball, paddle ball,f “bumper”, marbles, mumblety-^eg, and • others. The paddle bill and ‘‘bumper” stuck close to their names in results to the loser. It’s safe to say” they were slightly on the rough side and not recommended for the one who was easily . injured. The season of hilarity, came with the Christmas hpliday and at that season there were bon-fires in the streets and maybe a gate or two disappeared, or a fence got piled up in the road. Miss Margaret Compton, sister of Mr. Willie (who says she knew every man, dog and cat in town , in those days) furnished the fol- - lowing list of teachers who taught (See ACADEMY, page 8.) Scout Interest / Meeting To Be Held Tonight A get-together of all parents and friends interested in organizing a Cub Pack or Scout Troop is scheduled for tonight, November 117, at 7 J30 p.m. in Washington Baptist church.

For the Scout «ge boy there will be a lot of outdoor camping experiences and for the oub age boys there will be different prefects and handicraft subjects covered.

Subscription: 92.00 a year EDITORIAL 1 This is part of an editorial by one George Peck: ” . . . the typical Americans— die backbone of the nattoC The real Americans are to be found in the smaller communities and in the rural districts of the nation. **In the hinterland are to be found the hard-headed, clearthinking citizens, the people who can not be fooled by false doctrines, deluded by gpuack panaceas, who do not Subscribe to •bmething-for-nothing ideologies, afad' who Steadfastly adhere to Sound American principles ii laid down by the Founding Fathers and abounding with wisdom and good, old-fashioned horsesense.” - Mr. Peek, you made a very good beginning—especially speaking in general. You just don’t know 'Rappahannock. f> You see, sir, here the folks—*• in addition to the sterling qualities^ your regular rural Americana—haven’t lost ,the arts of gracious living. It is not necessary that we pay someone to entertain us, though we can enjo(y such to the same extent as our urban neighbors. The art of conversation is not lost from Rappahannock. The men will tell you that an evening around the ^tove with a few genial companions is as satisfactory ad the accompanying “chew” or pipe. The genial wit and sharp mental stimulus of a discussion would astound same urbanite who might judge solely by appearances and think the group uneducated and unfashionable. ladies, too, are leaooree* #01, entertaining and ■ charming, and those dainty, feminine packages also include minds and wits as sharp as their men-folk. They have learned long ago that they do'not have, to slavishly follow a fashion of another’s choice. They retain some of the pleasures of their grandmother*—quilting, superb hand-work, fancy cooking— and add any modern turn that they find suits theft" mode of living. , The people of (Rappahannock, Mr. -Peck, are the best in the world. As one lady put it: “If I have to be hungry, I want it to be in Rappahannock, because the' folks would see I didn’t starve.” ‘^Let a touch of hard-luck hit you,” states a man, “and watch your neighbors pour in»to help you.” Yes, sir, Mr. Peck, give me Rappahannock, and you can have the rest of the world.

We see it all around us. No sport event is complete in the eyes of many unless money is wagered on it. Nor is & money*, raising affair jtho sponsored by religious or educational groups. Our leading citizens are found encouraging our youth to take part in ^Bingo games, - cake walks, fish ponds and other gambling games ad infinitum et a! nauseam. » • Why is gambling so popular? First because it is a perversion of God given instinct for adventure. All .of ils would like to be in the great adventurous deeds of life but many of us are not able to pay the price required in discipline of mind and body and lo we get a second hand thrill by introducing a false element of chance into anything we can. Second because it is so simple and brainless. Many of those who listened, to the World Series this year were more concerned about how many runs were made in some particular half of an inning than they were about the actual struggle of two^great teams or the wisdom of McCarthy in sending in - life relief pitcher in the right time to win the game. Most gambling games are not able .to stand up on their own fee*. They are v^ry insipid if played wihjtout gambling. The require little brainpower. Why is it that no one gambles on a game of chess? It is too slow and-requires too much thinking for a gambler! Our people are beginning to (believe that it is better to be lucky than it is to be honest. A man may toil a* lifetime honestly and save and try to achieve success in his community and yet have less than someone who was lucky enough to be asked, "What color is the opposite of white?” on the radio program! Once gambling is in the blood of a person it is very difficult to heal him. 'Many of our people have a mild variety of the disease and do not realize that some of those who catch it from them will have severe cases in which they will throw away everything they have or can get simply to’ gamble. It is difficult to per&uade the parents of m child that has a mild ease of whooping cough that •their child should be kept away from other children lest they take it and perhaps die from it. What are you going to do about this disease that threatens the life of our country? Our country cannot remain strong when this philosophy of life becomes that of most of our people. When the economy of a nation is 'based upon anything other than the honest toil of its citizens it will fail. More and more people are wanting more and more money for less and less work. The only way for. everyone to have more money is to produce , more while they are working. As a leader in your community will you -throw your influence on the side of righteousness? Will you do all that you can to lead our youth in the right direction? Because of these considerations the P.-T. A. of Flint Hill has called off a fund raising party which was to have consisted of cake walks, bingo games, et cetera, this make friends with BOOKS V" NOVEMBER 13*19 1949 BOOK WEEK Children** Book Week . This is Children’s Book Week, November 13-19, and Since the .problem moet discussed in the present day in regards to children’s reading seems to be that of modern day comic books, the following comes forward as' an opinion. ‘TThe comic-book rash isn't aq likely to distort the mind of young ■ America as to stupefy it. Folk tales, fables and fairy stories were developed to satisfy the eager desire of children for an never-neverland less burdensome than the grim reattiy in* which most of them grow up. Comic books meet , the same need but without beauty, /without moral point and without awakening s'" desire for fufC? thar knowledge of a socially acceptable nature. Consequently, during a period of the child’s most intense curiosity and eagerness far learning, $is hunger is satisfied with a meal so intellectually thin that his useful learning during this important period is negligible. ■Stories of the ilnble, for example, are instnuotive, valuable lessons to which every child, heathen. or not, should be exposed. The child who reads the comic-book version has much of his natural curiosity • satisfied. He thinks he knows the Christ story; next he wants, to hear of something else. He doesn’t learn that there is any depth or significance to life that can’t be reduced to a few bloody cartoons and explosive captions. That’s the real tragedy of comic books. Most of our kids are too tough, I think, to be greatly warped by them, but they aren’t too tough to be smothered intellectually. A desire »to read books—not merely to look at gaudy actioki pictures—is one of the most precious and enduring legacies a parent can give his children. No parent wonild fill his child’s Stomach with watery soup and bread crusts when the larder was bursting with rich roasts and nutritious vegetables. The least penalty would be social ostracism. Is it any less repugnant to pump horror pap into a youngster’s mind? There’s the $64-question on comic books—(Elks Magazine, October 1949). Friday night. They will at a later date sponsor some wholesome form of entertainment in order to raise funds. I am proud of the action Of the Executive Committee of the Flint Hill P.-T.

Have you ever heard of a hunting license which gave you leave to kill a fellow human? Of course not! . Yet, last year alone, roughly 800 able-bodied American mm and women fell before the unsure guns of careless hunters, grisly victims killed by ignorance and apathy.

The primary grades are enjoying such as Etz: “Little Old Automobile’’ and Brown: “Pony Farm”; the elementary grades seem to prefer Cormer: “Eagle in the Wind’* and Storm r» * “Faraway Tree”; the high school pupils are signed up ahead for Holt: ‘‘•Wild Palomino” and Warfild: “Cotton in My Ears.” Our librarian wonders what is wrong with OiC book called “The Mudhen”,■ for, in spite of its attractive jacket, no one has read it to date. And another thing that puzzles the librarian is why a certain sophomore Tgirl is still reading Wagenknecht: “The Fireside.

Ip, the course of her remarks, Miss Brown asked that the flag serve as a memorial to those from the school and community who had served in the two great world wars and expressed the hope that the emblem would also prove an inspiration to the boys and girls now in school and to those who would follow. ' Mr. Winfrey accepted the gift for the school and reminded the audience that over 140 former Sperryville students had served in the last conflict.

(From file Magazine Antiques, April 1943, by Htensleigh Os Wedgwood.) , It seems necessary to keep ri pea ting that the name of Wedgwood contains only one -“e”. The las'member of th^. familj^o spell his name with two e’s was Ste1135. The Wedgwoods are a Staffordshire family, where pottery has beeh made since Roman titles. The first Wedgwood potter was Gilbert (1588-1678). The next three generations were Thomas by name and they carried the family trade of pottery down to 1739. The family’s chief claim to fame was Josiah Wedgwood,, 1730 to 1795. The contributions of Josiah Wedgwood to the ceramic field revolutionized the industry and our' eating habits. As Gladstone said, ‘‘■he converted a rude and inconsiderable handcraft into an elegant art. .and an important part*, of national commerce.” He opened a new field with white clay for a new ware which might be used not only by the rich, who could afford porcelain, but by the middle and lower classes. Hie put dinnerware on the tables of the western world much as Henry Ford put a car in every garage. His creamware was something entirely new. It had a beautiful phen Weggeswood, who died in texture and glaze and wax well designed. There were salt glaze^ r.dware, biscuit, cauliflower and cabbage ware, black or jetware, known as Egyptian black, and agate. Wfoat js most often thought of .jnj^hection with Wedgwood is t«* blue and white jasper. People of tin thnk that if a piece is blue ana White, it m Wedgwood; and if ic» Wedgwook ware, it’s neces'sari'll blue and \white. But the bgeiwone of Wedgwood’s business was always the cream-colored earthenware, or Queensware. It received this name because Queen Charlotte commissioned Wedg* wood to make a candle set for her and was so delighted with it tihaC she appointed him potter to Her Majesty. This was in 1745. From then on it was called Queensware. Josiah Wedgwood continued his experiments and was eventually satisfied with a jasper body., Jasper is a white body of porcelain texture which can be stained with oxides to produce a variety of colors—drab, . chocolate* peach green, sage green, a pale blue, and many others. - Something else that. Wedgwood made was a type of ware, called ^eane, a dr^.body with no^laze. Among other forms it was made in game-pie dishes—giving an effect of pie crust in times of flour shortage, flfeere are some' superb examples of engine burning in pieces made of cane ware, dating from about 1705* Another type of ware represents a development of some of the early redware.

In BrucellocU Control • ^ / - - - -- By: (R. G. Connelly Extension Dairyman, VJP.I. Brucellosis,. sometimes called Bangs disease, is caused by |a definite germ, which is* distributed world-wide with an unwelcome concentration on some Virginia farms. There are three known types (of the germ: “Brucella ducing russo antico. He seems to have thought that the combination of red with black - ornamentation was particularly suited to Egyptian designs, and we find a number of pieces of this ware with Egyptian motifs. Josiah Wedgwood also made agate wares. In the so-called ‘‘Wedgwood moderns” traditional shapes derived from the 1770 pattern books are still used. * * * Just why most Wedgwood found in this section is blue and white the writer did not say. A few pieces" of the creamware are about, especially in vases and ornaments. Some pieces .of pale green have been located in' dressing-table pin*trays, Jewelry boxes, shuff containers, and hair-receivers. Auction sales seldon bring' up even one piece. Collectors and antique dealers have almost exhausted the market of old Wedgwood. It is safe to say, however, that the old homes still have as many pieces of Wedgwood intact as all the collectors combined. Needless to add: you can’t buy them. Jl.

These livestock are Valued at1 about 91*1,400,000. The land, buildings, equipment and supplies for these livestock represent a large investment, which on most Virginia dairy farms exceeds the value -of the cattle on those farms. The economic importance of tlys livestock as represented in cash income, rural standards of living, sustenance for consumers, tax revenues for the localities and the commonwealth, gainful year-around employment for many rural and urban citizens, is truly great. This importarit livestock phase of Virginia agriculture must be protected and further developed. Brucellosis is an increasing disease hazard which every Virginia dairyman and livestock producer must take into full account. » 1935-1936, 4.2 per cent of the cottle tested were positive reactors; dropping to 1.4 per cent in 1940 and increasing to 3.1 per ' cent reactors in 194*8 with good prospects of increasing’to a higher percentage of reactors in 1949. Ground gained in (brucellosis eradication by test and slaughter up to 1940 has been practically lost since then. Why is this adverse trend? How can we stop it? are a few of the daily questions asked about this Virginia brucellosis situation. The teat-and-slaughter plan of brucellosis eradication has been enforced that it is effective; although quite as drastc as it is expensive under certain farm conditions. Test and slaughter alone will eventually eradicate brucellosis from a herd or community, but the costs of such a plar. are frequently unbearable for the man who must live from the monthly income from his herd. Theft, too, under Virginia conditions there are many opportunities for a brucellosis free herd . to become re-infected from neighboring infected herds. It is the re-infection of accredited torucel- * »lli» free herds as w»U (am the initial losses Suffered when the te»t-and-sl»jighter plan, alone is ^ followed, that causes disappointment and great discouragement among dairymen and livestock mens who strive to1 eradicate and . protect their herds from brucellosis. * By means-of calf Vaccination through the judicious use of Brucella abortus strain 19 Vaccine, a high degree of resistance and „ immunity to brucellosis can toe built up in a herd. It is a great aid to the test-and-slaughter plan. Calf vaccination against brucellosis is recommended throughout Virginia as a practical method of building up immunity to brucellosis in cattle herds. It is one good method. by which a herd owner can put his herd iii position for blood testing and eradication of positive reactors, with the least possible loss. Once a herd of-vaccinated, negative herd replacements, has been developed, the herd owner is better situated to test his old c^ws and slaughter the reactors.
