Miss Cayvan and her fine company of
artists had rather a meager audience
last night compared to the excellence
of the entertainment. The play Mary
Pennington, Spinster," did not please
the eX2cting critics of San Francisco,
who proceeded to roast it. The fact
is it is a clever comedy that raps
woman emancipationists sharply over
the knuckles, and handles some fads of
woman reform movements without
gloves. 1t is adroitly constructed and
is decidedly original and very enter
tanning comedy. We fail to see where
ii is weak in philosophy. untrue in art,
unrepresentative Of human nature or
improbable. Unhappily life's records
contain many stranger things than are
depicted in this comedy-Women pro-
posing marriage to men as a matter of
business concern: other women Offering
to men the reward of fortune to cast
over a chosen love and take them in
stead: other women discovering that
friendly regard covered true affection
that breaks through when put to the
test, and declares itself despite the eff
fort of woman to assume a masculine

Department.
Whaling Intallinancar

The inaugural number of the Athe-
naeum, published at the West Virgin
ia University, contains all the adj
dresses delivered during that auspic-
ious occasion, and is surely worth the
reading. The addresses of Presidents
Andrews and Harper are exhaustive
and full Of food for thought, while
the inaugural address of President
Raymond outlines policy that will
surely, when carried out, place our
university right alongside of the very
best universities in the land. And
why should it not be so? West Vir-
ginia boys and girls have just as good
brains as boys and girls of any other
state in the Union, and they have the
physical power to give these brains a
proper development, and why not,
then. should they not become, right
in our university, just as learned and
cultured as in any other institution.
They can so become, and in the very
near future our university is bound to
take leading place among the lead
ing schools of the land. But while

ed that in our primary schools is the
place in which to make our university
what it ought to be- 1t is the head
of our school system only in the sense
that it is here where the browning
work is done, while it is the primary
school, or rather the good work done
there, that makes the success of the
university possible. The teachers in
every ungraded school in the state
ought to have the power to create
in the minds of the boys and girls
under their charge a thirst for a
a higher education, an ambition to be
something in the world, and when
this is done our university halls will
be kept crowded with class of young
ladies and gentleman of which it need
not be ashamed.
We notice there is adsposition to do
away with the preparatory department
of the university. This just now
would be a blow struck against it.
The writer fails to see, as some do,
how a preparatory department lowers
the dignity and the standing of
university. Pupils are surely prepar-
ed here right under the eyes of the
entire faculty, better than they could
be anywhere else. There might be no
necessity for it if we had enough in
termediate schools, but until that
time comes, the preparatory depart
ment is surely necessary and it ought
to be kept up.
