A Handbook Of Virginia Classic Reprint

Excerpt from A Handbook of Virginia In a section where hospitality for centuries has been one of the dominant characteristics of the people, it is not surprising that Virginia's new comers, once settled within her borders, find them selves comfortably established for life.

Excerpt from Oh, Virginia Virginia she was named, but she has always said "It's too grandly awful," and she is usually called Jinks, except when she has been in scrapes. Somehow that happens pretty often with Jinks, but perhaps it is not always her fault. Jinks has an imagination, and when it is working it promptly moves her to action, and no one is more surprised than she when the result is disaster. If the neighborhood is laughing half the time at Jinks, and the other half is wondering what that child will do next, it is largely because she is left too much to herself by a mother and father who have not mt realized how much she needs them. When the biggest scrape of all came along, Mrs. Weatherby was there to help straighten things out, and what the scrape was and how it was happily ended is told in the story.

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.
