State Superintendent Of Free Schools B,
S. Morgan, Prof. W, II, Payne, Of Ann
ArbOr University, and Prof, Brown, Of the
Chenille Normal School, were in the city
yesterday en- route to Fairmont, where q
teachers institute will be held this week,
Superintendent Morgan said to an INTEL
LlaEScRR reporter that they had been at
tending the Teachers Institute at Hunt
ington, which was one OF tho most sue
cessful ONES ever held in the State, The
aim Of Superintendent Morgan is TO have
the County Superintendent present al
these Institutes and as higher order Of
instruction has been established they
will he better fitted for their duties by
attending them, Mr., Morgan has tWotd ideas
about improving the school syatem oil the
State that he thinks ought to be carried ont,
His first ia to unite the Normal schools
with the University. That is, elevate the
course oil study so as 10 make them feed
ers for the University, besides fitting the
pupils for professional work, Also, raise
the grade Of the public schools and make
them in turn feeders for the Normal
schools, Superintendent Morgan is ot the
opinion that there ought to be more high
schools, and these, he thinks, can easily
be- established by simply elevsting the
present course OF study,
Another idea OF Superintendent Nor
gan's is the establishment OF the State
Teachers Reading Circle, which will re-
suit in great benefit to them, imparting u
more uniform culture aud stimulating
them in their work. The SuperintsRdent's
main object is to make the Teachers ll'
stitutes OF greater value to the teachers in
introducing methods OF intruCIiOn that
will enable them to carry on their work
with better results, and he has in view the
establishment oil a course OF study that
will make institute work through the
State more uniform in It's character,
"rhls will not DO accomplished in q year,
but will DO matter Of growth with the
development Of the State, said the SIper.
iutendent, land liz success will depend, Of
course, on the intelligent encouragement
OF the people and the hearty cooperation
OF the teachers"

TuE coon nIGAMY CASE,


Jennie Ramsey. u x.uOOd held In $500
Hall.
The case OF Jennie Good, formerly Cox
nee Ramsey, waa heard by Justice Davis
Saturday, and she was held on the charge
/ OF bigamy in $500 bail, her mother, Mira
Ramsey, going on her bond. She says she
would welcome home in the penitentiary
in preference to living with Good. The
woman was married 10 Dave Cox in this
city several years ago, but lived with him
but short time. Cox denies that hO has
married since the separation.
She knew that Cox was living aud that
no was in the city ut the time she married
Good. She never made an effort to be
divorced from Cox.
She was advised by JustlCs OF the
Peace that seven years separation was as
good as divorce. She says Good ire-
quently beat her; she once had him ar.
rested at Bellaire Tor mi5treating her, and
he spent two months in jail.
Good said on the stand Saturday that
he had been married three times. His
first vito was dead, his second was d.
vorCed, and Jennie is his third. 1t Is APP
parent that his prosecution Of her is act
uated by her refusal to live with, him.
