Would tho People Endorse It?

To The Editor Of the Intciligcrcer.
SIE:-The proposed project OF 4 high
school is no now question. Ever since
the establishment OF our public school
system in some form or other this
scheme has been brought forward from
time to time, and, after, We are bound
to presume, full and careful considcra-
ton, rejected by each successive board
before. whom the matter has been
brought. The record is that OF unvary-
ing and obstinate persistcncy, all the
more remarkable, followed as it has
been, by repeated defeat and disap-
pointment for its friends and advocates.
At last however, after forty years OF
patient waiting, We have found board
independent enough to be tied down
by no precedent, aggressive enough to
inaugurato reform where reform is most
needed, and progressive enough to fol-
low in the footsteps OF our more iortuu-
ate and enlightened neighbors on the
other side OF the Ohio.
The long cherished scheme has at last
found majority in the board in its
favor, and our citizensand taxpayers arc
to be congratulated. When the beautiful
new $4,000 high school building shall
have been completed from foundation
to turret and the corner stone with the
honorcd names OF the members OF the
board appropriately inscribed thereon,
theirs will be the proud satisfaction that
while still in this life they have been
permitted to rear to their memory n
monument not the less enduring because
reared out OF tho depleted pockets OF
their fellow citizens-"a monument
more enduring than brass"
Now, Mr.. Editor, ii you will accord us
the privilege, We desire to add most
emphatic endorsement OF your editorial
on this subject in this mornings paper.
For We are sure it will have the hearty
approval OF nine-tenths OF all our citi-
zens who have given the matter any
thought.
The whole scheme, If submitted to a
vote OF the people, would meet with
overwhelming defeat and reputation at
their hands.
As so clearly and iorcibly shown by
yourself, it promises no substantial re-
form for existing impericctions in our
school system, /. G, Mt all commensurate
with the estimated increased cost to our
taxpayers. 1t will add nothing to the
thoroughness or efficiency OF our pres.
ent system. AS fifty characterized by

part OF our board OF education Is 'ua-

Special DipGtci TO he IaidIig-ne:r.
MoRGASrowS, Nov. g0.-At the last
meeting OF the faculty OF the university
the question OF doing away with exam
nations was proposed for consideration.
Many OF the larger colleges have adopted
systems OF this kind aud have expcr-
fenced satisfactory results. The uni.
versity Is not slow In introducing new
features that promise to be beneficial,
and this, appearing to be Il good sys-
tenn, should receive the proper consid-
Grafton. Tho system would free all who
had reached u certain grade from OK
nminntions. Between this and some
lower grade would cause them to have
to pass an examination, and those re-
cciving anything below tho last grade
would be excluded from promotion.
The students, believing this to be u good
system, are anxiously looking forward
to its adoption.
Yesterday Prof. !. c. White lectured
before the geology class on the subject
OF mineral veins in West Virginia. lie
showed fully that tho many traditions
circulated throughout the state, which
tell OF rich mines discovered by the In
dams, but which have been lost sight
OF, are all without foundation. Profess
sOr White says that no mines OF tho
richer metals are 10 be found anywhere
in the state.
The last trip taken by the geology
class was to Clinton Furnace. They
travelled about twenty-five miles in car.
riagcs. going by way OF the historical
Pictured Rocks and returning by way
OF the Raven Rocks. They havo now
visited all tho veins in the upper coal
measures.
The members OF the athletic associn-
ton are beginning to feel some anxiety
concerning grounds for athletic sports.
The grounds which they have been
using and which will be used for the
football game on the 2S;h, will soon be
cut up into lots for building purposes.
There is no land ut all in connection
with the university grounds that will do
for the purpose, and il suitable grounds
are no. secured, athletics will have to
come 10 II stuluSllIl. Inc proper uu-
thoritics should provide for this need.
The cold wave reached Norgantown
about on time and ut the same time the
gas supply became weak. The supply
is generally very strong, but accidents
often happen which interfere with its
transportation.

The managers OF the Second National
Bank have just received specifications
for large thrce-story bank building.
The building will be erected on the site
OF the building used ut the present
time. The front will be OF fine pressed

Nrw YoRK, Nov. 2O.-Betting on the
Yale-Harvard foot ball game was lively
to-day. Tho odds quoted yesterday
were five to four, with Yale ms the
favorise. Experts appear to believe
that Harvard's supposed weakness at
centre is fatal to her chance OF success,
and say the New Haven boys will be
nearly two to one iavorites before the
game begins ut Springfield, Mass, to-
morrow.

Tho managers OF tho entertainment
Tor the Home for Aged and Fricndless
Women beg to announce that Mrs. Nell
lie Sweeney Palmer will sing at their
concert Friday evening, November 81.
Mrs. Palmer is one OF the few Wheel
ing's native songsters who has made for
herself quite Il reputation, both at
home and abroad. The hi Oh state OF
cultivation to which her voice has at
tanned is due very largely to the fact
thatthc greater part OF her life has
been devoted to music. Then, too, she
has had advantages which very few have
had in the way OF teachers. Notably,
Signor Barilli, one OF the foremost mas.
tiers in his profession, half.brother and
teacher OF Adclina Patti, and also in
structor OF many other noted singers.
He was very enthusiastic in his admira-
ton OF Mrs. Palmer's voice and style,
and never ceased 10 encourage and urge
the utmost development OF her voice.
The charming and talented harpist
and pianistc. Miss Anna Lang. will play
one OF her delightful selections on the
harp and will also be one OF the accom-.
panists OF the evening.
The nero mention OF violin solo BY

SILVER.

The following statement by the Di-
rector of the Mint shows how much
the currency has been increased by
the several silver acts, and how much
it is likely to be increased in the next
few months, as the result of the re-
cent act of Congress as interpreted at
the Treasury Department. Director
Leech says: ''The entire number of
standard dollars coined from March 1,
1878, when the coinage was resumed,
down to now, when the mandatory
coinage ceases, will aggregate S405,-
458, ,168. Of these S377, ,166, 793 were
coined under the act of Feb. %, 1873,
commonly known as the Bland law,
and against them certificates have
been or may be issued. The coinage
under the act of July Il, 1890, amounts
to S27, ,281 ,365. All of these are still
in the Treasury, Of the coinage un-
der the act of 1873, S59, ,225, ,696 is bodily
in circulation and $318, ,941 ,097 is still
in the Treasury vaults, though all ex-
cept 50, 863, 1852 is covered by certifi-
in silver certificates in the Treasury
cash; so that the total number of sill
yer dollars coined under the act of
1873, still in the treasury and not COW
cred by certificates actually outstand-
ing, is S1O,958, 1922. OF the silver dol
lars coined under the Act of July IA,
1890, about 81, 100000 represent the
seigniorage or profit against which,
according to an opinion of the Attor
ney General, certificates may be law
fully issued. Adding this to the
amount not covered by certificates
outstanding we have $15, ,458, 1922 in sill
yer dollars, on which certificates may
be paid out. The coinage from the
trade dollar bullion will add more
So, 900, 900, still making $50, 900, 900 up

THE OUTBREAK IN CHINA.

The repeated outbreaks of native vi
| olence against missionaries and other
foreigners in China furnish occasion
for apprehension, and abundantly JUS
tify the preparations which are being
made by western nations to strength
en- their fleets in Chinese waters. 1t be-
gins to look as if we were on the eve
of disturbances in China of a kind
with which native authorities are not
we'll prepared to deal. The machin-
cry of administrative justice in China
is often almost inhumanly severe in
its infiiction of penalties, but it is de-
fcient in its provisions for the antici
patton and the prevention of crime
There is an absence of that systematic
police supervision which prevails in
western countries, and such demon
stratiOns as those which have taken
place within the last few months in
variably find the authorities unpre-
pared to cope with them. By the
time that the native police or troops
get ready to act, there is opportunity
for great deal of murderous mischief
Scattered over China, wherever for
eigners have gone, there are little
groups of missionaries and small com
mercial colonies, which at any time, if
we may judge from the utter cause
lessness of the recent demonstrations,
may be the objects of native attack.
The Chinese government needs to be
spurred to greater activity in afford
ing them protection, and if it is not
quick enough to act, there should be
help within call. There is every rea-
son, therefore, why the western ma
tions should act with decision. =
