Excerpt from History of Virginia, for the Use of Schools In the preparation of this volume for the use of schools, I have been actuated by an earnest desire to place before her youth a faithful record of the past history of the old Mother of States and Statesmen, a record so full of honor that her children may well be proud of it. I have attempted no dry details, no po litical dissertations, but have adopted the familiar style of a story from the stores of incident, in which the past of Virginia is so rich, such narrations as would be most apt to stamp upon the youthful mind the graver facts of history, interspersing such explana tions as were absolutely necessary with a simplicity and clearness which will I hope, render them easy of com prehension even to the youngest student of these pages.

Excerpt from History of Virginia: A Brief d104 Book for Schools In this volume, I have endeavored to present in a clear and connected manner the leading facts in the history of Virginia. The materials have been drawn from the most reliable authorities, and much time has been spent in comparing them so as to render the narrative as accurate as possible. In the colonial period, the richness of the sources of information proved a continual embarrassment; and I found myself compelled to leave out many, interesting incidents, to prevent the book from exceeding the well-defined limits within which a state history for school use should be kept. Virginia was the cradle of the English race in America, and for this reason her history is of more than ordinary interest. Besides this, the great variety of romantic and important events that have taken place within her borders, the immortal characters that have been nurtured upon her soil, and the unswerving manner in which her people have always contended for their rights, render her history specially worthy of being studied.

Excerpt from School History of Virginia A very practical difficulty in the preparation of a text book on history exists in the fact that the length of the school session varies so widely in different locali ties. To meet, as far as it is possible to do, the demands of the school with a full nine months session, as well as the school with a six months session, with a single book, the School History has been so arranged that sections can be omitted without destroying the story as a whole. It is unnecessary to say that. Omissions should not be made unless necessary, but in view of actual difficulties, the text can be shortened to suit the individual school.

Excerpt from The Civil Government of Virginia for the Use of Schools Duties. - With rights originate duties, which are things men ought to do. Every right, whether it te fers to an individual or to society, involves a duty; and there is no duty that does not have relation to a right. Duties are of many kinds; but, generally speak ing, they may be classified as duties to ourselves, duties to others, and duties to God.

Excerpt from A History of Education in Virginia IN the preparation of this volume, I have been actuated by a desire to make the history of Education in Virginia accessible to teachers and students, and to place it within the reach of all who have any wish to become acquainted with the story of the educational progress of the State. It need not be said that it is impossible to describe within the limits of this volume the whole history of education in Virginia. Out of the mass of material which would have filled many volumes, the effort has been made to select only the essential facts and tell a brief story of the growth centering about these salient features.

Excerpt from Virginia School Laws: Codified for the Use of School Officers by Order of the State Board of Education; To Be Preserved by Each Officer and Delivered to His Successor While this edition of the school law possesses no authority independent of the sources from which it was compiled, its publication by the Board of Education makes the work authoritative as a guide to school officers. The act of Assembly which gave the school system organic life was approved July 11, 1870. The history of subsequent legislation affecting the schools can be readily traced from chapters LXVI and LXVII of the Codes of Virginia 1887 and 1904, which constitute the basis of the "Public Free School Law." The text of Pollard's Code of 1904 has been followed, except in so far as it has been modified by legislation since its publication. Acts of Assembly passed subsequent to that date (1904) are incorporated with the original law. All acts of a local character are omitted, and only such acts pertaining to State institutions of higher learning have been included as are of interest to the school officials at large. The compiler has endeavored to arrange the matter for the convenience of school officers, without regard to the order in which it is printed in the Code. It is the duty of every school officer receiving a copy of the law to preserve it carefully, and to transmit it to his successor in office.
