Writ Co. Teachers Institute.
CONDUCTED BY MR.. A. B. CUMN1NE,
,OF WOOD co.

The following resolutions were
passed at the Teachers Institute,
held at Newark. Writ Co., w. Va,
Aug. 1911, 1885. q
We, the teachers composing the
Writ County Institute, assembled
at Newark, Writ CO., w. Va, do
adopt the following preamble and
resolutions:
WHEREAS, In many parts of our
State the school session is only four
months and the pay of teachers 90
very meagre, thus driving the best
teachers from the profession, there
fore be it,
Resolved, 1. That we the mem
bers of this Institute are in favor of
an increase of the teachers wages
and a corresponding elevation in
the character of the examinatio ms.
2. That the school month should
consist of 20 days and school term
of five months.
3. That the County Boards of
Examiners should be empowered
to grant certificates without exami-
nation to those teachers of expert
ence and success, who hold, and
have taught under four No. l. GER
ti6cates in succession.
4. That it is the belief of the
teachers of this county that the
Institute should be hereafter held
at the County Seat.
5. That we do denounce the
reading of trashy literature.
6. That we believe that the
foundation of moral principle must
be laid in youth; and, that we en-
deavor as teachers to instill into the
minds of our pupils an adherence
of intoxicating drinks, by making
known to them their debasing et-
fects upon the moral and physical
nature.
7. That we extend to the citizens
of Newark and vicinity our thanks
for their encouragement and kind
ness to US during the session of
this Institute. And also to our in
structor, Prof. A. B. Cummins; and
to our worthy County Supt., David
Martin.
8. That a copy of these resolu.
tions be sent to the w. Va. Irans-
script, W. Va. FREEMAN, w. Va.
School Journal, and the State Journal
for publication.

! shall call that party weak, that
has the morality and conscience of
the country in it, the banner of
Right above it, and God himself to
lead it?
Between these moral and politi-
cal forces the issue is joined, and
the contest will not cease tdu the
saloon is driven from the land.
To the citizens of Marshall eoun.
ty, l appeal:
Will you be with US or against
as, in the fight. If we battle sue
cessfuily We must stand together
in every onset, and to do this we
must organize. There is abundant
Prohibition material in both tie
old parties, but to be effective it
must be gathered under one ban
ner, and organized into a compact
political party. There is absolute.
ly no longer any hope in either of
the two leading parties of tho
country. AS parties, they are Ell
ther opposed to Prohibition or too
eowardly to champion it.
The free use of the ballot is the
highest privilege of the American
citizen. By it abuses in govern
ment must be corrected and new
policies adopted and established
for the public good. Therefore it's
proper use is not only privilege
but an urgent duty, and it is now
the urgent duty of Prohibitionists
to organize the Prohibition ballot
OF the country and make it effect
i've against the curse and crime Of
the liquor traffic.
1t is an encouraging fact that
the independent voter is abroad in
the land. Intelligent citizens are
getting tired Of obeying the orders
of political bosses, and nomina-
ton is no longer equivalent to an
election. In this fact lies the hope
of the country.
1t shows that party prejudice is
giving way to principle, and that
if the old parties will not take up
the ne,o Issues of the day, they will
be compelled to stand aside for a
party that will.
The tyrannical Liquor Power
holds both the old parties in base
subsection, while it plumbers the
people and enters every avocation
Of life with its poison, pollution,
crime and death.
How long shall a free people sub
NIT to such gross outrage and
wrong7 How long shall ministers
of the gospel, as we'll as lawyers,
merchants and mechanics, and
farmers, too, who ought to be the
most Independent of all--how long
shall We allow party prejudice to
control our votes in the interest of
this monster that is destroying our
people and laying waste our below
ed country Surely the farmers
above all others should rise in
their might and save their homes
from this great curse. They are
the feeders of the nation,and should
be at the front of the Prohibition
army that is to save it. The honest
tillers of the soil are no longer will
ing to be led by willy politicians to
vote for the saloons and against
their own homes. They are becom-
ing aroused as to their responsible
ity as citizens, and at every return
ing election the power of the indie
pendent voter will be felt more and
more.
Let all Marshall county Prohibi-
tionists organize and stand together
for Prohibition.

W. NJ. Peauchamp tells in The Young
Antiquarian Of a discussion that re-
Gently arose among the Jnon lago lndi-
II of CIV York on the form of the
earth. One Indian said it was round
because men had Travelled in a straight
line and come back TO the same place.
o this it was replied that men were apt
to travel in circles, as they often do
when lost. Then 1t was urged that
wLite men said so, and they knew more
than the Indians; but, it was answered,
white men often lied, as the Indians
very well knew. A practical philoso
pher solved the whole difficulty by driv-
ing a stake into the ground and placing
IN apple on it at night. In the morn
ing the apple was still there, to his
great satisfaction; whereas, he said, il
the earth had revolved in the night the
apple would have Iallen of. The ques.
ton is no longer discussed there.
