AMERICAN WON.
oratorical Contest at Bethany Colieg'
Last Night.

Oratorfcal Contest aC Botnhny Oohc6e
Last Night.
For many years friendly rivalry has
existed between the two literary So
cieties Of Bethany College, the Metro
phian and American. which, after many
years of useless talk, terminated last
night in an oratorical contest, In winch
the American came out victorious oy
a close margin. Col. Arnett, OF this
city, DR.. Cooke, OF the Second Presby-
terrain church, and DR.. Alexander, a
PRESBYTERIAN Minister Of Barnesville,
o., were the judges. j.,
Col. Arnett, in giving the decision OF
the judges, pronounced the oFatioDs
superlatively fine. The programme
follows:
R. W. Kimmel, OF Pennsylvania, sub
iect-"Tho American Idea" Mr.. KEN
meIs Grafton vas a mastery effort, well
thought out, and we'll controlled, out
It's beauty was sadly marred by several
hestations, which the speaker made,
due either to not having his subject
properly in hand or stage fright.
r. Wilson, of Colorado, subject
Truth" This theme was well handled
from start 30 finish. Mr.. Wilson &C
Quilted himself nobIy, and too much
cannot be said in praise OF his effort.
w. +. Jennett, Of North Carolina,
subject, The Blue and the Gray.
This subject was handled in manner
charac terlstic of the speaker. MIR. Jen-
nett has a reputation as one OF the most
eloquent speakers in college. He not
only sustained it, but added to 1t last
evening.
w. d. Cunningham, OF Pennsylvania,
subject, "The Dominant Chord" Mr..
Cunningham's effort was received with
rounds Of applause.
Chas. Darsie. of Kentucky, subject
civilian the Silent" delivered one OF
the best oratons of the evening. His
manner was forcible and effective. Mr..
Darsie had and deserved the sympathy
OF the entire audience, on account OF
bis youth. He might fifty be said to
have been boy fighting with veterans,
but the manner In which he met their
advances, now places him among the
veterans.
The last speaker was the talented
elocutienist, Mr.. Earle Wiley, whose
production LET There be Light" was
we'll composed, and accompanied by Mr..
Wnhey's matchless delivery, brought
forth rounds of applause.
The programme was interpreted by
b 9th vocal and instrumental music, al
of which was very fine. Messrs. Will
fey, Cunningham and Wilson were the
American represe ntatives, and Messrs.
Jenett. Darsie and Kimmel were the
metropolitan representatives. Last
nights contest was a credit to both So
cieties, and at least gives the assurance
that oratory is not on the wane In
Bethany.

THE GROUND TABLE"
A Meeting OF School superintendent Last
Evening.


Ohio Valley Round Table met in the
office Of Supt. Anderson, last night.
There were present Messrs. Mertz, OF
Steubenville; Riggs, OF Benwood; Will
Jams, Of Moundsville; Vancleve, OF
Barnesville; Mitchell, Of Wellsburg;
Shields, OF New Martinsville; Merrick,
of Cadiz, and Sbemerhorn, OF Brilliant.
"Intermediate Work" was selected
for discussion, and "Spell-
ing as o Standard for
Promotion" was the first topic. Supt.
Mertze thought any pupil could be
taught to spell reasonably well. but not
in the Same degree. The coBcensus OF
opinion seemed TO be that the most
economical use of the pupils energy
would be through either the reading
lesson or some form in which words
could be used in the sentence. A con-
siderable discussion occurred over the
terms, division and partition in arith-
m tic, but no agreement was reached
as to the necessity of its use.
The placing of pupils In the proper
grade who have been attending school s
in other places was taken up, and 1t was
the general opinion that twas very diff
fcult to locate the pupils from irregular
or ungraded schoolsin their true posi-
ton, the danger being Of getting them
either above or below where they should
be placed.
Plans for enhancing the usefulness
OF the Round Table were discussed, and
it was decided that it would be better
to hold but two or three meetings
during the year, and have them con-
tinue for one or two days. A commit
tee Of three were appointed to arrange
for meeting of the teachers OF North
ern West Virginia and Eastern Ohio
the first part OF the next school year,
and Messrs. Anderson, Mertz and Van
| clava wera named as the cnmmittaa.
