OF all the Normal Schools of this
State, we believe none have natural
advantages over Shepherd College
as an educational institution. Yet the
enrolment of our school is the small
est of the six. 1t is not our purpose
to 20 into the causes of this state Of
affairs-causes that extend back
through long period of years. We
simply wish to call the attention of
our people to this plain fact, and to
earnestly urge them to exert their in
huence to bring about. change.
Wherever we have visited we have
found a great interest i'll school work,
and especially an advance move
ment with our Normal Schools.
Shall not Shepherdstown advance
too? All we need is the united in
fluence of this community. If our
people will lend their aid, we believe
the enrolment can be doubled next
year. Already progress is being
made, and from one of the interior
counties eight scholars have already
been booked where last year there
were three. 1t is believed the eight
can be increased to twenty from that
county by the efforts that will be put
forth. This, it is hoped, will prove
true of other counties. AS to Berkeley
and jefferson counties, our home
people should see that they are made
acquainted with the advantages Of
Shepherd College. AS before stated,
we think no other town in the State
is superior in this regard to Shepherds
town, and our school should be as
prosperous as any. Normal students
may have free tuition, and those
from abroad can obtain board here
almost as cheaply as they can live At
home Our town is a quiet, moral
comfortable place, free from PERM
cious influences of every character /;
our people, are hospitable, law abid-
ing, generous-minded citizens; and
our school is in the hands of faculty
that will be the equal of any if
properly supported.
We sincerely hope that our people
will recognize the Importance of us
ing their influence to build up our
school. We trust that every friend
of education will use his pen and
tongue and all his powers to increase
the efficiency and benefits Of our
home institution-Shepherd College.

300 students, and a corps of six or
eight efficient teachers, it is one Of
the best institutions of learning in
our State. This year the school has
been without a principal, but it has
been managed remarkably well by
Miss Mamie Cameron, acting prin'
cipal, assisted by Profs. Barnes, Ram
age and Riggle and Misses Holland
and Knight. The graduating class
numbered twenty-four, and the COM
mencement exercises were held We'd
nesday evening and Thursday morn
ing. The young ladies and gentle
men had been carefully prepared and
instructed, and their essays and ora
tions showed a degree Of thought and
ability above the average. Their
subjects were those of everyday,
practical concern, and if the good ad-
vice and sound sentiments they pro-
nulpated shall be lived up to by
themselves that graduating class
will make its mark in the world.
/ w
Miss Cameron, who has long been
one of the strongest members OF the
faculty OF the school, has determined
| to retire from the service, greatly to
the regret of all who are interested
in that institution.
While at Fairmont the State Super
intendent and Regents were most hos
pitably entertained at the homes OF
Governor Fleming and Prof. G. A.
Sipe. The latter was formerly prin-
cipal of the school, and is gentle
man to whom much of its present
prosperity is due. His success as an
educator is only excelled by his quail
tiles as a host, though it must be ad-
mirted that the remarkably attrac-
tive circle of charming nieces with
which he is surrounded is no unim-
portant element in this matter. To
Prof. and Mrs. Sipe and their house
hold we are greatly indebted.
The Board of Regents were greatly
disappointed in not reaching Shop
herdstown at an early hour Friday
afternoon, but an accident to the
train caused unavoidable delay. But
an evening drive from Shenandoah
Junction to Shepherdstown, with the
fairest spot in the Valley spread out
as a panorama before the gaze, was
a sight wonderful to see. And though
the mountains and the hill country
were lovely in their place. yet we had
to say that after all this was the most
beautiful of all-the garden spot of
our State-and there was no one to
say nay.
