FAIRMoST, W. Va, May S.-The Nor
nal school, under the management OF
Miss Dickey, has steadily increased in
size and usefulness until now, with an
enrollmento OF overtwo hundred, the largest
OF anv OF the State educational institutions,
five teachers are employed; OF the number
Miss Lucie Fleming and Prof. U. S. Fleul.
ing deserve special mention for the invalu.
able services rendered, they, with Miss
.Dickey, refusing more lucrative posi-.
tions, havc labored long and earnestly,
sometimes OH half salary, and one year
with none, 10 build up the school to its
present rank. While the attendance has
largely increased the present year, the
standard oi graduation has been cores
pondingIy raised, consequently the pres
ett senior class is smaller than usual, only
nine completing the course this year.
Commencement takes place June 18th
and it is expected that DR.. Curry, OF Rich.
moud, and other prominent educators will
be present.

who pay all expenses, tuition excepted, by

schools over the State; that We might III
quirc whether these young ladies and gen
tiemen were not likely 10 repay to tht
State The cost OF their education ten-fold
