Grn section OF the State The ward princl.
pulls In this city are taking hearty interest
In the affair, and doing all they can 10 help

ripe learning and the extent OF his original
research into the subjects OF which he will
treat, which have made him famous, no less
than his success as an educator, insure treat
which Wheeling people and West Virginia
teachers may congratulate themselves on the
opportunity TO hear.
Other noted educators have also promised
to participate, and still others arc yet to
hear from. Such gathering, on such q
plan, can but be productive Of good results
to our State schools, In liberalizing the teach.
