ments in town Mr.. VIM. Frazier

ing very fine porch in front. The

School Notes.

We sec 10y the Elkins News that
J.Russell Trottcr will probably con-
duct summer normal at New In
tcrest in Randolph county.
DIR. Mcpherson, of Chicago, will
deliver the Baccalaurcate sermon
at the University this year. Rev.
DIR. Mcpherson is said to be one Of
the ablest ID. Dis. of the West.
Prof. L. w. Showalter is arrang-
ing for n term OF school Mt Newburg
to begin May and as the Professor
is II good practical teacher Of con-
siderable experience and ability he
will undoubtedly have good
school.
Prof G. G. Showalter will not
teach this summer but will devote
most of his time to institute work.
He will probably have charge Of the
teachers institute in several counties
but has not yet been notified Of his
appointments. lie will still make
Kingwood his headquarters.
Frank Il. Trotter will graduate
from Roanoke College at Salem
Virginia this year and come home
to teach in Preston and stay with
us we hope for we need our best
young men as bad as the West, the
East, the South or any other part
Of the country and some induce
ments should be offered to keep
them at home.
II Is said that Prof. G. G.. Sho-
walter and w. Il. Freelamd will
likely compose the next Examining
Board in connection with the SUIT.
Mr.. Elsey announced at the insti-
tute here last year that he would
let the teachers determine the mat
ter by voting for their choice Of cx-
aminers when he made his rounds
visiting the schools aud we are in
formed that the above named teach
ers received the most votes, Prof.
ShOwalter getting 10 and Mr.. Free
lund 81 while the other votes were
scattered among all the number one
teachers Of the county. Mr.. +. B.
Trotter receiving the next highest
number and several OF the lady
teachefs receiving a very compli-
mentary vote.
Our people are fully alive TO the
advantages Of education and sum
mer schools are being organized all
over the country. The one shcre
will probably not be as we'll atten-
ded as last year an account Of so
many others in different parts OF
the county Prof. Frcoland is boom
ing one at the bridge City" right
IN our suberbs. As will eseen by an
nouncement in this coulmn, Supt.
Ben II. Elsey will teach term Of
summer sohool at Rockville, begin
ing the second Monday in May.
The terms arc reasonable and the
board very cheap. There are a
number Of young teachers in Grant
and pleasant who will probably take
advantage Of this opportunity Of at
tending school right at home. OF
Mr. Elseys experience and ability a.
a teacher it is not necessary to
speak, as he is too we'll known to
require any introduction from us.
