MEETING OF CENTENNIAL EDUCATION
AL CoMMITrEE.-A meeting OF the Com
mittce appointed to devise plans for the
proper representation Of the West Va.
Schools at the Philadelphia Exposition
was held last evening at the office of the
State Supt. Hon. b. W. Byrne presided
and ". H. Morton acted as Secretary. On
motion the work Of preparing a suitable
exhibit OF our system Of public instruc-
ton and our educational progress was ar
ranged and divided into seven classes or
departments.
Superintendents OF each department
we're appointed, with Hon. B. W. Byrne,
State Supt., to have general supervision
aud charge. The Departments and Su.
perintcndents are az follows:
|. General History and View Of West
Virginia Schools, Primary, Normal, Col
legiate, Sc.-Dr. J. &. Blair.
ii. School Architecture and Photo
graphic Vicws-Professor Joseph Me-
Murran, William Fontaine, S. Patrick
and Miss A. C. Knote.
Ill. Graphic Charts-Dr. W. X. PEN
deton and Professor C. L. LoOs.
". School Appliances and Education.
al Literature-W. II. Morton and J. +.
SnOwden.
V. The Products OF School Work
Professors F. II. Crago and s. X. Hanen.
vi. Observation-Disclosures Z. S.
Cox and W.. J. Kenney.
VII. Finances-Hon. B. W. Byrne.
On motion Miss a. G. Knote was ap-
pointed to prepare circular suitable TO
be addressed to the Supcrintendents and
teachers OF the State, inviting the coop
Grafton OF all interested in the educa'
tionnl representation Of West Va.
It is expected that DR.. Blair will write
the chapter on West Va, Schools and Ed
ucational History and Progress for the
Centennial Volume to be prepared un-
der the auspices Of the General Centcn-
nial Committee.
The hope and desire was expressed that
some amount would be set apart by the
General Committee. to supplement at
leas, the voluntary work and COntribu-
tons OF educators throughout the State
in the laudable effort to show at Phila-
dclphia that West Virginia has not only
mountains and plains, ores and timbcrs,
agricultural and mechanical products,
but educational sons and daughters IA
we'll.
The various committees appointed
propose to do their part and We trust
they will bc,sui,ably encouraged in this
good work. 1t would certainly be n
shame not to have our State represented
cduca,ionalIy at the great International
Exposition.

CARD FROM Geo. H. TINGLE-This gen.
tleman writes letter to the Charleston
Courier Of Saturday last to exculpate the
Hon. ]. Hanson Good from the reflections
Of that paper on him in connection with
its comments on the notorious Agee reso-
lutions. These reflections were in the
nature OF n re-iteration Of the insinuation
cast upon Mr.. Good by said resolutions,
and were also intended to r each other
members OF the Legislature, the point
being that they had received money Tor
their services in helping to remove the
Capital from Charleston. Mr.. Tingle,
who was charged with the disbursement
OF the Capital removal fund, promptly
comes to the rescue of Mr.. Good and his
fellow members OF the Legislature, by
