Excerpt from Sanitary Survey of the Schools of Orange County, Va: Report of an Investigation by the Virginia State Board of Health, the Department of Education of the University of Virginia, and the Virginia State Department of Education

A careful examination Of the figures submitted as to Orange reveals the fact that nearly three - fourths Of all Of the white school children recorded are even now housed in buildings of a good type, with mod ern equipment. It is the hope Of all who have taken part in this investigation that the publication of their findings may hasten the day when the remoter sections Of all our counties shall be furnished the same sanitary and serviceable school facilities as the more populous portions now enjoy.

The scene of the survey - The county of Orange was chosen prima rily because of its average character. It is near the center of the State, moderate in size, with fairly good roads, having a strictly American population, about evenly divided as to whites and negroes. It is almost wholly rural, with but few very rich or very poor people in all its boundary. It is traversed by two main trunk lines of rail way - the Chesapeake Ohio and the Southern. From the county seat, Orange, there is also a narrow-gauge railroad, the Piedmont, Fredericksburg Potomac, running due east to Fredericksburg, 36 miles away.
