After the Close Of the Association The
Summer Sch00l-Ab0ut the
University.

A correspondent who attended the
session of the State Educational As
ISOLATION writes to the Register his
observations of the work and few
of his impressions of Morgantown,
under date of the 18th. Below is
what he says:
The State Teachers Association
is over The educators have left us
and we are settling down to our nor
NAL condition again, hoping that
much of the wisdom may linger with
us, doing US good for long time to
come. The general verdict of those
attending the Educational Associa-
ton is that while the attendance of
teachers and other friends of educa-
ton was not what it should have
been, yet the discussions were more
vigorous than ever before, and the
topics discussed the real living is
sues of the present Those in at
tendance went home thinking more
than ever over the Importance Of
making our schools more fully meet
the demands of the times, and carry
out their real object, the making of
good citizens.
While the Association is a thing
of the past, the summer school goes
right on under the supervision of
Professors Purinton and Elliott. DIR.
Purinton's lectures On psychology at
8 o'clock every morning draw nearly
every member of the school to his
room, and all who go wish to GO
again. Prof. U. S. Fleming, of Graf
ton, is actively engaged in the work
and is we'll liked by all teachers.
The elocutionist, Prof Rayhill, OF
Illinois, is a master in his profession
and is instructing a large class in
vocal and physical training.
Miss Boazberg is spending two
hours day in drilling the members
of the school in Mason's System of
Music. She has already by her abil.
ity as teacher and her pleasing
manners won the respect of all. She
is the teacher selected to superin-
tend the music in the Wheeling
schools the coming year, and we APP
prehend the Board of Education
could not have done better
Last evening the "elite" of the
city attended concert at the Pres
byterian church, given by Mrs. Sill
verthorne, vocalist, and Miss Alt
man, pianist, assisted by Mestresat's
orchestra. 1t was great success
Both ladies showed that they were
musicians of high order, while of the
orchestra it is not necessary to
speak.
Lieutenants Wills son and Richmond,
U. S. A., former Commandments in
the University, are visiting Morgan
town and circulating among their
many friends.
The State Agricultural Expert
ment station, under the dictatorship
of Prof. John A. Myers, is destined
to be of the greatest benefit to the
State. The creamery.h has been visit
ed during the past week by hun
dreds of strangers, and the verdict
is that it is great success and that
the "buttermilk" is most excellent
this is personal testimony.
A splendid entertainment was
given at the Presbyterian Church
Thursday evening, by Mrs. Silvert-
horne.
Morgantown will soon be supplied
with water works. The pipe lines
are being laid rapidly.
A new court house is talked of for
this place. The present old one is a
disgrace to the county.
A great many of the teachers left
Saturday for their respective homes.
Among whom J. r. Stanley and r.
A. Lamp, of Peasants county, who
have been members of the Normal
for the month.
The social given by the ladies of
Morgantown to the teachers of the
Normal and State Association was
grand affair. The good people of
Morgantown are noted for their kind
hospitality to their fellow beings.
Profs. j. V. Carpenter and U. S.
Fleming are the most active men in
the Normal, for which they deserve
great praise.
