CLARKsBuRG should be made the
head OF navigation on the Monon-
gahela. 1t is pretty well settled
that the appropriation made by
Congress, although contemplating
the improvement only as far as
Fairmont, will be amply sufficient
to give us slack water to Clarks-
burg. The West Fork of the
Monongahela has deep, we'll de-
fined channel and there is but a
slight fall between Clarksburg
and Fairmont. Many years ago
the matter was Investigated and
found to be practicable. 1t would
be much easier to slack this
stretch of water than the Yong
hiogheny river which the Penn
sylyania Congressman are asking
the Government to improve. In
the case of the West Fork no adj
ditional appropriation will be
needed. Instead of leaving the
head of Monongahela navigation
at Falrmont let the order be
changed SO as to make it Clarks-
burg. One of the main reasons
that prompted Congress to i'm
prove this river was to reach the
great coal fields of West Virginia.
Why let the good work stop SO
near the greatest coal fields on
this earth? Let the cry be-''on
to Clarksburg."

FRIDAY, June Is. 1897.

The West Virginia University
is an institution in which the
whole state is taking deep in
terest. That it is a magnificent
school no one can deny and our
people can justly watch its course
onward and upward with pride.
Two years ago it was placed in
control of a non-partisan board
and since then its growth has, to
say the least, been phenomenal.
For many years 200 students
would have been regarded as a
large attendance During the
present year the enrolment
reached almost 500. Never be-
fore in the whole history OF the
state was there such wide awake
University spirit everywhere
within our border.

The county court has appoint
ed the School Book Board as re-
quired by the new West Virginia
textbook law. The names Of
the members are published else
where in this issue, and a glance
at the list shows that the court
has put this very important mat
ter in the hands of good men. 1t
is well that they have done so,
because the school book question
is one that suggests a long list of
tales of scandal, corruption,
bribery and crooked methods
which are a part of the past histo-
ry of textbook adoption in Amer
lea. For a quarter of century
nearly every State in the Union
has been experimenting and try
ing different methods of select
ing school books. From these
experiments it is held by some of
the country's best educators that
it is not advisable to have the
Legislature adopt textbooks. AS
for State text. book boards, there
have been so many scandals with
them that good men refuse to
serve on such boards. Where
will this responsibility be placed?
The best answer suggested is
with the people," Let each
county take care of itself. The
people already have the greater
responsibility of selecting teach
ers, why not textbooks 1t is
not hard to find out what books
have merit. The people know
the members of the board per.
sonally, and tits safe to say there
will be thousands of eyes on the
men who are to select the reader
