Latin
For boys and girls Of 10 to is
years of age seems to meet with
considerable favor.
II isia course Of study, that
was SO well understood and
thought Degeneration ago, that
the best families gave to their
sons and daughters by private
instruction what the schools did
not provide for. Our better
organization of today attempts
to give at school what formerly
was largely done by individual
effort. And this is what we are
attempting at Broaddus Institute.
Whether it will succeed or not
depends on the patronage Of the
citizens of Clarksburg.
Some subscribers have indicat-
ed their intention to send to this
Department.
The following are the subjects
of study in this Preparatory
Course for boys and girls from
- to Is years of age.
l, The English language. in
Guiding reading aud spelling.
2. Arithmetic, Geography and
Latin.
The course will be soconduct-
ed that pupils will not be over
worked by the additiono of Latin,
and the classes will be assigned
to three different teachers.
The reason for this early study
of Latinis to develop the memory,
which, at this stage of the minds
evelopment, is most capable Of
discipline. and which nothing,
could do so well as a foreign
language, and Of TIL 9 Sc
Lain in her formal parts. 1t
may be also noticed that none 81
the other subj ects in tins course
lend themselves SO readily for
this purpose.
AS a second most important
reason may lie assigned the ex-
cellent foundation Latin lays for
all language study. Latin facili-
tates the study of the English.
lwould suggest to parents.
who are DESTROYS Of having their
sons and daughters pursue this
course. that they call for con-
sultation at the Institute some
time during this week or on Mon
day. This would facilitate the
satisfactory arrangements for
this course considerably before
the regular academic students
arrive.

The appointment this week by the SUI

next legislature Will amend the law now

limit the term Of office to two years. the

The bankruptcy Act.

To the Editor OF The Post.
The air is now clamorous with reports
of opening factories. rushing orders and
general revival of all Industrial interests.
Much OF this is fictitious and advanced for
political effect. and thinking men VIII
deeply discount all such eXtravagant and
padded reports.
If we are to have Il genuine revival Of
business there is a large class of our
abest and most experienced business men
whose energies should be released to the
end that they may earnestly devote them
selves to the upbuilding of the country.
Many of those men have for three or four
years descended into hades itself, and they
should have relief extended them.
Every dictate of common sense, justice
and humanity demands that the hopoiessly
involved debtor be freed from the chains of
perpotual financial slavery. 1t is neither
good politics nor good judgment, neither
unitarian nor merciful, to forever paralyze
the ambitions and energies of men and
keep them ON the level of the ryots OF
India fellahs of Egypt or poems of Mexico.
If We are to revive business let us turn
loose the business men of the country, who
are now denied the right to start great in
dustries or aid in advancing the state.
The bankruptcy bill which passed the house
NJ us idst SESSION is now NeloIe lhe seHdVe
for action at the coming session, and the
business interests of the country, now that
political strife has subsded. will certainly
demand that this most beneficial measure
be given the consideration 1t deserves and
passed without delay.
1t is simply cruel to hold men longer in
bondage For over five years the debtor
class has witnessed an almost pitiless
struggle for existence and 1t Is both
statcsmanlike and merciful TO them and
to their families 10 restore their liberties.
