GIVE THE GIRLS A CHANCE.


To the Editor of the Herald.
A peculiar state Of affairs exists in
West Virginia in regard to our eduea-
tional Institution at Morgantown. No
sooner have Wheeling people become
advanced enough in education to de
mand high school, than they find
that Morgantown is not ready to re-
ceive our girls on account of their not
being permitted to enter the Prepara
tory Department. Now why should
our girls be so debarred? They pass
the same examination as the boys,
and equal work is demanded of them
all the way through their school lie
until both sexes are ready for the Pre-
paratory year at Morgantown, when
here begins the injustice of our laws
girls cannot enter the Preparatory
Department. They may enter the
Collegiate Department but alas, there
is no place in West Virginia which
takes the place of that preparatory
year. They must leave our State to
enter other, more liberal institutions,
to prepare for the Collegiate course in
our University. Does West Virginia
wish to lose her daughters, have them
educated in other State institutions?
We scorn the thought Give our
young women an equal chance with
our young men. Do the young men
fear to be placed in competition with
the girls?
Our high schools are foundations
for the State institutions. The ma
jority of graduates from these are
girls, who are debarred from entering
our State University because for some
unknown reason they must not enter
the Preparatory Department. Why
this break in the line of education'
More girls become teachers than men.
Why send them from our own State
to prepare themselves 10 teach the
youth of West Virginia. Is West Vir
ginia not to be on par with other
States in her treatment OF her own
women? 1t has been said that the
women OF West Virginia do not de-
sire entrance into the Preparatory De
partment. Give them the encourage
ment they need by opening all the
avenues and see if they do not appre-
ciate the offer
What a foolish waste of time to get
our girls ready for the State Universi-
tv and then show them a closed door
when they come. Why should the
West Virginia University stand al
most alone in discriminating against
women? Other States realize the ne
cessity OF giving the girls an equal
chance with the boys Have we no
State pride? Are we willing to let it
be a fact, that our girls seek other
State colleges, other cities than those
of our Stateo Why make education
so much more costly for the girls2
They must pay for the work they
ought TO receive in the Preparatory
Department of our own State. Even
lift be said, not proved, that our girls
do not wish this privilege, let us give
them the chance for the sake OF the
good name of our University The
day is long past when our State can
afford to be 50 narrow in its rulings.

Rights, or the superiority of the mas

INTRINSIC AND EXCHANGEABLE
VALUES.

Advocates Of free coinage appear to
lose sight Of the fact that almost all
articles used by man have two values
intrinsic and exchangeable. They
imagine, because I5H ounces of sill
yer were worth one ounce Of gold 100
years ago, that the same ratio or con-
dition has existed ever since and ex-
lists today. when, in fact, the ratio
constantly varies.
They fail to note that air which
has an intrinsic value greater than
ANYTHING else on earth has no ex-
changeable value Water, ordinarily,
has no exchangeable value but its in
trinsic value is beyond computation.
Precious stones have but slight in
trinsic value, not being essential to
the welfare OF mankind, except occa-
sionally in the arts, but they have an
exchaugeable value, greater in pro-
portion to bulk. than any other known
substance. Gold, because Of its
rarity, malleability, ductility, weight,
and non-corrosive property, has, dur
ing all the ages, had both an intrinsic
and exchangeable value. Intrinsical-
", it is valuable as an ornament, a
pigment, a chloride. etc. It's ex-
changeable value depends largely up
on supply 1t is always in demand
Silver has like properties, but is found
in greater abundance. 1t has great
intrinsic value, being used largely in
the arts for the manufacture of arti-
cles OF general utility. Like gold, 1t
has long been used as a medium of.
exchange. The ratio has varied from
to 8 to 1 to 20 or rs according as
one or the other metal was most
abundant. The various governments
at one and the same time have de-
creed different ratios. At the time Of
the foundation of the Republic the
ratio was 15K to Later it was
oh anged to 10 to 1.
Free coinage of both metals, on a
fixed or permanent ratio has been
found by the experience OF all nations
to be impracticable. No nation has
been able to keep both metals in cir
culation at the same time unless one
is agreed upon as the standard, Civ
ing to the other fictitious exchange
able value.
This country and France use more
silver in proportion to population
than any others. The method is the
same in both countries. Gold is the
base upon which the financial system
is constructed. All values are meas
ured by it. The fictitious value of
silver is maintained because of the
belief of the people that the Govern
ment is able to redeem its promises.
Let that faith be undermined and the
silver dollar, which now has an in
trinsic value OF about 40 cents and an
exchangeable value OF 100 cents,
would lose its exchangeable value and
drop down to its intrinsic value. Such
a condition would be produced should
it be known of certainty that the
free coinage policy would be adopted
inst as the recent panic was caused
by the election of Grover Cleveland |
and a Democratic Congress on a free
trade platform.

The annual meeting of the Sheep
Breeders and Wool Growers Asso-
citation was held Wednesday. Presi-
dent S. c. Gist, Of Wellsburg, Brooke
county, presided. The session was
occupied with hearing addresses and
reading aud discussing papers on top
les relative to sheep and wool.
J. w. Axtell, of Pittsburg, Pa, edi-
tor of the National Stockman and
Farmer, read paper on what the ag-
ricultural press will do for the sheep
and shepherd.
In his paper on the most profitable
grades of wool for Berkeley county
growers, +. c. Henshaw said the cross
between the merino and the cotswold
was the best for wool and this, crossed
with the southdow the best for
lambs.
DR.. A. d. Hopkins expressed a
different opinion. He said mixture
of the rough breeds degenerated the
stock. He said the condition of each
locality should be studied and the
type of sheep selected that was adapt
ed. He said the common sheep OF a
given locality was of special value
as a foundation on which to build.
This view was met with most hearty
concurrence.
]. NJ. Sydenstricker said the cross
of hampshires, shropshires and south
downs with native sheep were the
most profitable breeds for Greenbrier
and adjoining counties. c. r. SPe-
row spoke in favor of the hampshire
downs. James Vanmetre lauded the
merinos and Aquilla Janney the dor
sets.
S. w. Atkeson spoke on profitable
sheep for West Virginia. He said he
had Melted S.. SO a head from flock
of Sc head, after twenty months care.
]. L Henderson, of Washington
Pa, told of his experiment with West
Virginia sheep in Dakota, which he
said was successful.
A noteworthy address was made by
c. L. Eakiu, on controlling sex. He
claimed that after learning the char
acteristics of the sheep it was simply
question of the regulation OF food
that it required more food to produce
male. He said that in twenty-three
years of sheep raising he had never
sold female, although he had sixty
one to breed from.
DR.. Hopkins gave an interesting
sketch of the origin and history of the
association. President Gist, in his
annual address, advised deeper IN
terest in sheep-raising, which, he said
was especially adapted to West Var.
GINA. Secretary James Beall said this
was the most successful meeting evei
held and spoke encouragingly OF the
outlook for wool-growers.
