Excerpt from Virginia a History of the People Virginia and New England were the original forces of American society, and shaped its development. This arose from natural causes. Both races were vigorous offshoots of the same English stock, arrived first in point of time, and impressed their characteristics on the younger societies springing up around them. Each was dominant in its section. New England controlled the North from the Atlantic to the Lakes, and Virginia the South, to the Mississippi.

Excerpt from King and Queen County, Virginia But the author has made great compensation for the loss of so much original information by the diligence of his research and the faithful arrangement of his findings. His pages unfold before our eyes the pioneer settlement of this territory; its subsequent formation into the political division known as a county; the orderly development of this people under the law, customs, religion, and social life of a real English community; the names of many individuals and families who have added substance, culture, dignity, and luster to a brave and refined people; the arrest and almost overthrow of this civilization by a, disastrous war; and the subse quent resumption of communal life under radically changed social and economic conditions. This narrative will be of grateful and affectionate interest to the sons and daughters of this noble old' county, and to Virginians everywhere; and, in after years, to those seeking information for a larger history of our race on these new shores.

Excerpt from Philip Randolph: A Tale of Virginia It was thought advisable to plant colonies in such parts of America as had been discovered by the Eng lish, and a charter was granted, empowering the li censed to make settlements on whatever'lands they chose to select, and that all who thus settled them selves should hold their property from the sovereigns of England. All these privileges were conferred by Queen Elizabeth, without reference to the people or natives her subjects would probably find on these strangely-acquired territories. Sir Walter Raleigh had the honor of giving a name to a beautiful tract of country lying on the eastern shores of North America, between the latitudes of 31 and 420, calling it vir ginia, in honor of his queen; but James 1. Divided the country into two parts, one of which received the name of New England, and the other retained that of Virginia, which was the most ancient and most val uable of the British colonies in North America.

Excerpt from Government and Politics in Virginia Regrettable as the fact is, a large majority of children in the United States go out into active life before they reach the high school. Since this is true, and since ours is a govern ment which the people themselves must operate, it seems manifestly desirable that some time should be given in the elementary schools to a consideration of the activities oi the government.

Excerpt from Primary Education and the Race Problem: An Address to the People of Virginia The case is entirely different with the Counties and public free school districts. Nowhere in the Constitution can it be found where there is any command that they s/zall do anything. It leaves the question entirely to their discretion, the only arbitrary feature being the inhibition that such local tax, if levied, shall not exceed a rate of five mills in one year. To grant one permission to do carries with it as a necessary corollary the right to refrain from doing; therefore the Constitution, in leaving the matter of local taxation for public free school purposes to the discretion of the local authorities, left them free to do or not to do as they thought proper. Any act of the legislature to compel the local authorities to levy a tax or to for bid them doing so was clearly in violation of the Constitution and an invasion of the rights of local government. The public free school system was founded upon the assumption that the education of the masses was good public policy and that all the people had a common interest in it, therefore it was the duty of the State to educate all.
