WHEN THE
WORLD APPROVES
UNJUST DISCRIMINATION,
Girls Haired From the Preparatory De-
parimsnt or the University.

Girls Haired From the Preparatory De-
parlmsnt OF the University.
To the Editor OF the Intelllgencer.
SIR Some time ago the regents Of
our university showed their llberalIty
by granting women the privilege Of en-
tering the collegiate department. That
was well, and was worthy deed, but
their llberality did not extend as far as
the people of West Virginia desire. Our
girls are admitted to the collegiate de-
partment, but not TO the preparatory.
This seems very inconsistent. II the
preparatory Ia necessary for our boys,
why not for the girls? 1t has been said
that the girls have not shown apprecia-
ton OF the privileges proffered them by
patroniZing the university in large num-
bers, AT present there are about forty
In attendance. Suppose large number
do not take advantage of their privi-
lcgos, Ii II IL Just that those who desire
to do so BIO prevented from gaining as
liberal an education as they desire?
There In good reason for their non-at-
tendance, because our girls have no
place In our state whore they receive
proper preparation to enter the collegi-
Gto department
why show 10 much favor 20 orr boys
by giving them better advantages than
our girls7 Having no place In our state
where they can make the necessary
preparation, they have to go to insu-
tutions In other states to gain the edu-
cation necessary TO enter the collegiate
department OF our university. They
go to Wooster, Pittsburgh. New York,
Baltimore and other places because
our state does not provide d means OF
education, and having TO seek their
preparation elsewhere. they naturally
finish their education where they be-
gun. The young girls seeking IN edu
cation are far in excess OF our boys.
Any one can see the condition OF affairs
In our public schools. Four-flfthH Of the
pupils who graduate are girls, The rec
ord made by girls In our public schools
and in our university has been so cred
liable that they deserve great deal OF
consideration. The great majority of
state universities arc open TO girls on
the same terms as for boys,
The question of co-education has been
settled, and II It Ia to be co-educational,
let 1t be so throughout.
Notwithstanding the disadvantages TO
which the girls have been subjected,
their number is increasing. None OF the
objections urged in the past will hold
in the admission Of girls in this case.
As they are admitted to the collegiate,
why not to the preparatory. unless II is
done to make it more difficult for them
Il enter. Is this just? The girls win on
teIr own merit not because there Is any
favor shown them. Why do girls and
women have to fight for that which men
should be generous to give them?
believe that the people OF this state
are Just as willing to give the girls every
advantage and privilege In their power,
and such men are. the regents Of the uni
vedslty. men Of education, culture and
standing, have neglected this plain
duty to the daughters Of West Virginia
because they have not given It their
serious attention.

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHERLING, OCTOBER 8, 1897.


The Register continues to mag
inc that It sees In the purpose OF the
county commissioners TO change the
boundary lines OF the districts Of the
county, to make them conform to the re-
quirements OF the constitution, a base
plot or something or other, designed for
the benefit of the Republican party. 1t
makes this general assertion without
producing one single argument in sup
port of it-only words and nothing
more.
It is q habit OF tho Register to see In
every piece OF Regulation, In every poll
oy pursued by Republican body. a par
tIsan scheme In It's blind nalics {: can
not see how even a oompllanca uIcA the
mandate of the organic laW CT tas sS0ss
can be honest, II II Is dOne by a ReENh-
lican authority. This Il the saIt uf Ia1lk
meudaosty which renders The ReGlstt-IS
opposition disgusting TO Intelligent MIN
who take tbs PALM to Investigate facts
1t only appeals 30 the Ignorant and
thoushtlesa onss VINO are ever ready 10
have tiaeir partisan Drejudiees appealed
to.
Tho situation regarding the rediItT4c:-
ing OF the county is simply this; When
the districts were formed as they are
now the population ot the county was
much smaller than It now is and 1t was
more scattered. The lines were laid so
that the population was as nearly equal
ly divided among the seven so-called city
districts and the three country districts
as possible under the circumstances
this in obedience to the cs.4Jutution of
the state.
Since that time many changes have
taken place In the conditions, and 1t now
happens that the districts are more I'M
equal in this respect, and in order that
they may conform to the requirements
of the law some slight changes should be
made. The changes will not be radical
but the inconvenience and lrregularty
Of having some districts with almost
double the population of others can be
easily corrected, and that, too. without
committing any deep, dark political out
rage. such as our dyspepuc and partisan
blind neighbor fancies 1t sees.
Our ncighbor answers the proposition
Of the mtelllgencer with this light re-
mark: IF the constitution Is violated
by the present boundary lines, as the or
gan tells us 1t is, then II has been vlo-
lated nearly a quarter of century"
This shows a lack OF investigation on
the part OF our noiEhbor, to say nothing
of 1t being strange suggestion that a
violation" of the constitution should be
allowed to stand because It has existed
for some time. The fact is that twenty
years ago, shortly after the present con-
sutution went into effect, the districts OF
the county were more equally divided
than they are now in point of popula-
ton, the differences being comparatively
slight.
We have only voting statistics by dis
trlcts on which to base an estimate, and
for the purpose take the returns OF the
presidential elections of 1875 and 1896,
both OF which were characterized by
what was regarded as full vote In
the "city districts" in 1876 and 1896 the
total vote was as follows:

ne refusal of Great Britain to particl-
pate In the seal conference with Japan
and Russia may make It necessary for
the United States to hold two confer
ences one with Japan and Russia and
one with Great Britain, and will complI-
cate matters great deal. 1t is also
likely to strain relations between Eng
land and Japan and Russia, since in
diplomatic circles the action of the Brit
ish government is regarded as dIscour-
teous.
There Is no unfrIendlIncss expressed
toward the United States In the refusal;
on the contrary, the British government
desired to participate in the conference
until Canada refused to acqulesceif ia
pan and Russia should be in the confer
ence. The whole attitude of the British
foreign office at present seems to be due
to the position taken by Canada, who
was afraid she would be outvoted by
Russia and Japan. What this govern
ment will do In the matter, of course
cannot be foretold, for the problem which
presents Itself Is complicated and Will re-
qure some diplomatic manoeuverlng.
