MARSHALL COLLEGE.


College will begin On Monday. Sep 18th. /
Whether or not a srrs, number ofstudents /
shall attend, will depend largely upon the
people OF Huntington, not only in sending
their own children, Of whom we expect
goodly sprinkling, but in aiding us it, indu
cling patronage from abroad. Huntington
lie brisk, lively, growing young city, and
on account of the go-ahead-ativeness OF
her sons, bids fair to become the metropolis
OF West Va. A. matter OF neces. .ity, she
must have collegiate institution in her
limits. Her young folks must be led with
intellectual food The spirit of the age
demands, most emphatically, that every
person now aud hereafter entering upon
the active duties of life be well educated
at least in the English and German Ian
guages To Western American, the Ger
man language is sine q,m non; he must
have it in order to succeed in the highest
degree. And since must OF our common
schools ndo OF furnish German at all, and
do not teach the English 10 any thing like
.
either at home or abroad, has been an alb
sniute necessity.
The great question then is-Shall that
higher education be obtained IN Hunting
ton, or shall it be from distant school?
Which is the wise and most profitable
course2 Common sense will at once
answer-"Build up our home school"
This il just what we ask the people OF Hun
tingtou to help us to do Every student
will bring more or less money, and spend
it in our city A great influx of students
will create II great influx Of money. Thus,
in a pecumary point OF view, It's profitable
that Marshall College shall flourish. Then
| Huntington needs an increase of populations
| This, too will be accomplished by building
up the College

morals OF a city. 1t gives it character at
home and dignity abroad IL will induce
intelligent and aspiring people to become
citizens OF the place in the hope OF educa-
tin. their children. In view OF all these
facts, we ask the good people OF Huntington
to aid us in circulating catalogues and
Information concerning the College. Let
us have names OF your young friends at a
distance who would be Likely to attend
