From the New England Journal of Edneation]
The Educational Work In West
Virginia.
BY ALEXANDER L. WADE.

do not claim for the masses of
this mountain State the culture of
New England, but / claim that,
considering the age of our educa-
tional institutions, we have reason
to be proud of our progress. West
Virginia was born into the family
States amidst the commissions of
civil strife, on the 10TH day of June,
1868. She is the youngest daught-
er of the "Old Dominion" and is
still in her teens" Following
the example of her older sisters
Ohio and Indiana, she is out
stripping her mother in matters
pertaining to the education Of the
masses. 1t is generally known that,
previous to the Rebellion, Virgin
ia had no system Of common schools
She founded higher educational
institutions, but built no school
houses for the common people.
She provided literally for the en-
dowment Of colleges, but her fund
for primary education was made up
annually of precarious sums arising
from fines collected for violations
of law; and this was paid out for
tuition of pupils whose parents
confessed themselves too poor to
pay for the education of their own
children.
THE PEOPLE
inhabiting the territory which now
forms West Virginia were, previous
to the war, intimately connected
by the ties of trade, and many of
them by the ties of marriage, with
the people of Ohio and Pennsylva-
MIA, and partook Of the spirit Of
Northern Institutions. The Virgin
ia "Pan Handle, extending half
| way from Mason and Dixon's line
to Lake Erie, and the entire north
ern and western borders, and some
of the interior counties of the State,
contained a population whose in
telligence and enterprise were little
less than that of their neighbors OF
the Keystone on the North, or the
Buckeye on the West. But while
the people Of the sections named
kept up with the progress of the
times, despite the fact that the
State made no provision for prima-
ny education, the masses, in many
of the interior counties, had very
poor educational facilities.
AS proof of the progressive
spirit Of our people, l may refer to
the fact that, as soon as the new
State, West Virginia, was recog-
nized by the Federal authorities,
the people proceeded at once to
adopt and to organize complete
system Of free schools, embracing
efficient State and county super
vision. They built in short time
more than three thousand neat,
comfortable school-houses; they
erected six State normal schools,
providing free tuition to those who
| wished to be trained for teachers
and they founded State Universe
| ty which affords advantages second
to none west Of the Alleghanies.
| We have several denominational
colleges and seminaries doing first
class work, and a system of county
institutes conducted by experienced
educators, who are paid by the
| State.
| Most Of our teachers are
| PROGRESSIVE MEN AND WOMEN.
| / feel that | would be safe in say
ing that all the leading cducationa
journals of the land find readers
among the live teachers of West
| Virginia.

election of ELBRIDGE G.. LApHAM to
be u. s. Senator in place Of ROSCOE
CoNKLING. He received all the
Republican votes cast on the fifty
sixth ballot, so in number. There
is wide difference.of opinion in the
party as to the result of Mr.. CoEK-
LINa's defeat. His many friends
throughout the country say that the
Republican party cannot do without
him, while others are in ecstacies
over bis defeat and declare it is a
deliyerence from sbossism." Mr..
LApHAM has served three Congress
sional terms and was reelected to
the fourth. He is practicing lawyer,
and was civil engineer before he
went to the bar. He will be sixty

THE PRESIDENT
SUFFERS A RELAPSE.


PRESIDENT GARFIELD suffered re-
lapse on Saturday. 1t was SO serious
change for the worse that the consulting
physicians we're summoned in hot haste,
and no attempt was made by those in the
White House to conceal their alarm. The
patients pulse, temperature, and resplra-
ton were recorded at higher figures than
at any time since the shooting. three
weeks ago. The physicians explanation
Of these unfavorable symptoms. which
lasted until after nightfall, was that there
appeared to be an obstruction in the
wound, which prevented a free discharge
of pus, causing chill which was followed
by high fever. The obstruction removed
itself, however, and as the evening wore
away the President seemed to improve,
and before midnight he was sleeping
quietly. The news that the President
was in mortal danger again, coming asst
did after the welcome assurance SO often
repeated lately that his recovery was GER
tain, it was fresh shock 10 the country,
and called forth renewed expressions Of

The editor of the Vineland hide
pendent has learned that Mr.. PIERRE
LoRILLARD is going to build an Epis-
copal church at Jobstow1, 10 this
county, and holding up his hands in
holy horror says j:
aWhen a church of Christ consents
to build its walls with il-gotten gains
Of the horse race, and lay its founda-
ton out of the accumulations of fash
ionable gambling, holiness has depar-
ted, and ridicule is the only exposition
which will bring out the spurious char
acter Of its Christianity. If men
protesting to believe in the religion
which Christ taught, forget moral
consistency and religious straight.for-
wardness, how much can be expected
Of unregenerate worlds people 7"
The church at Jobstown, when
erected will not stand as a monument
to the hard earned money OF the par
isbioners who will worship within its
walls, but will rather be known as the
gift of generous man, who handed
It over to the people ofthe little com
munity with pleasure at the thought
Of having done good deed He has
vast means and the cost Of tho edi6cs
will be but mite from his purse,
comparatively. As much good will
grow out Of the church to DO built by
Mr.. LoR1L1ARD as fit wore erected
BY Mr.. W1LBuR Of the Independent,
and probably moro, because the latter
gentleman would very likely want to
act as Rector, and this position Mr..
LoRILLARD would not accept.
