one more than ever of butterflies. One girl
attires herself in most fetching costume of
green velvet, made with 80 much nicely as to
its fitting and hanging, that it is perfectly

ARMY AND NAVY.

The Navy Department will advertise for over
5000 tors of Harveyized steel armor for the
three battleshps now building. The law fixes
the maximum price to be paid at $500 per ton.
and the officials of the Department are not
sanguine of returns to their advertisements.
The officials calculate that the armor will be
wanted in the course of six or seven months,
unless work on the battleships is to be sus-
pended and the Government put to the cost of
making allowances to the contracting ship
builders for the delay occasioned by its failure
to supply arm0r in time.

CONTINUOUS SESSION

Al the UutysrIity--A GTeatlOpportuniiy
6,r Handrsds ofsIudsnts who Cvald not
tome Otherwise.
The announcement that hereafter the
West Virginia University Is TO be kept
open all OF the year has met with the
,s.sst hearty approval all over the state,
There are hundreds OF ambitious and
earnest young men and young women
IN West Virginia and nelghboring
states who find II almost Impossible TO
attend college during the winter, They
are teachers, preachers and others who
must earn their living as they go along.
Hitherto all these have been kept out
Of the university by the necessities OF
the Case-they had to work when the
university was open, and when they got
a vacation the university was closed.
Henceforth the university doors will
never be closed. The year viii be d.
vlded into four quarters, probably be-
ginning as follows: January l, April !,
July and October l.
While no student or instructor will
be expected to work at the university
more than nine months out OF twelve.
unless he so desires, the university
itself viii be in continuous session
throughout the year. there being no
longer summer vacation but instead
four short vacations. one week long,
al the expiration OF each twelve weeks.
Under this system, a student may begin
his work at the beginning Of any quar-
ter and may take vacation either In
the summer quarter, or In the autumn,
winter or spring quarter, and, indeed,
he is at liberty TO continue university
work during all four quarters II he Is
strong enough and desires to do so,
Instructors, also, may arrange to take
their vacation in any quarter OF the
Year, provided that not more than one
fourth OF the instructors elect to take
their vacation at the same time. Ar
fangements have been made to secure
outside help when needed. In the sum
mer It is easy TO get able instructors
from ether institutions at very reason
able salaries.
The courses will be so arranged that
the work of each quarter win be COM
plete in itself. and courses for which
there is great demand Will be given
more than once In the same year, so
that any student in attendance during
any quarter that year may have the
opportunity of taking them.
During the summer quarter at least
one of the professors of pedagogy Will
always be on duty to conduct classes
and lead round tables for the benefit OF
teachers, and distinguished educators
from other Institutions Will be present
to give courses OF six weeks and twelve
weeks.
The summer quarter will be divided
into two terms of six weeks each so that
some short courses may be given for
those who do not desire TO spend the
entire summer In school. There will be.
however, regular twelve weeks courses
in the summer quarter such as are
given during the other quarters.
This four quarter system ought TO
draw to the university hundreds OF new
students and widely extend Its sphere
OF usefulness
