Senator Mason Challenged by Spanish
Newspaper Man.

Washington, March Ex-senator Ma
son today received the challenge sent
him by the editor OF the Spanish IL
Illustrated paper I'll Carlo. The docu-
ment is printed and Is signed by the
editor. the Marquis de Altavilla.
The challenge is to n combat at
swords points, and is preceded by a
short column of personal abuse in
which Mr.. Mason is described as IAN
lsnoble Yankee senator who scolds
like woman and who has not the
valor to fight like man, and who
would take slap in the face without
resenting it." The American people
are referred to as people who de;i
I'm pigs and whose flag Is the almighty
dollar
The senator accepts the challenge in
n jocose spirit. He says he will have
to see the marquis before he decides
whether he will accept, but that 1t
scarcely accords with Spanish modesty
FOR the challenging party to name the
weapons, as is done in this instance.

Child set in the midst"
MONDAY MORNING.
The institute opened promptly al
half-past 10 o'clock, in the audito
rum of the high school building
The teachers joined heartily in
singing Coronation" Miss Myrtle
Sage presiding at the organ. The
Lords Prayer was repeated in uni
son, followed by the singing of the
Battle Hymn of the Republic
which was so we'll sung as to be
quite inspiring. The music prom
ises to be, as 1t certainly should, a
prominent feature of this institute
The recording secretaries are
Mr.. I. F. Stewart and Miss Annie
Elliot.
Other committees were appointed
and the teachers were invited ur
front.
County Supt., T. P. Hill urged
the teachers to be prompt in at
tendance at the session, and to be
attentive.
We are here to learn to be better
teachers and not merely because the
law compels US to be here.
Prof. F. H. Crago, Superintend-
ent of the Eight ward schools in
Wheeling and an educator ofnation-
al reputation was then introduced.
He asked all the teachers who
attended institute FIVE years ago to
hold up a hand, and but few re-
sponded, showing great change in
the teachers of this county. The
instructor dwelt upon the fact that
progress is the watchward of the
live teacher. Without it there can be
no permanent success. Prof. Crago
insists that though he has grown
old in the profession he feels for his
work all the love ard enthusiasm
of youth; is as much of learner
now as ever, and will step down
and out of the ranks whenever he
knows that he is retrograding.
Superintendent Hill next intro
duced Prof. Rufus ". Holden, of
Kingwood, prominent educator OF
our state, who made very favora-
bic impression, upon the institute.
He said:
The term "instructor" is objec-
tionable to me, personally, from
the fact that it means too much for
for majority of us who are, from
time to time, asked to instruct the
teachers of the various counties.
The teachers who know so much
and do so much, that l do not feel
competent to be their teacher, pre-
ferring to be visitor among them" 4"
He said the Tyler county teach
ers were the proper persons to
teach the schools Of their county.
They understood their own people
and the educational needs and en-
viroument and would do better
work in the school they last taught
successfully, than stranger would,
Professor Crago followed, taking
I'D the same Theme and agreeing
with Prof. Holden.
The singing of the West Fir-
ginia Hills was the closing OF the
forenoon session.
Up to this time 81 gentlemen and
27 lady teachers are enrolled, which
is doing we'll for the rorning ses.

MONDAY AFTERNOON.

NUN Ia AK EN-NoO@Ns
In the absence of Miss Sage,
Halle Swan presided at the organ.
Supt. Hill named as the committee
on introductions the following
popular teachers: Miss Lima Yard
and Miss Maggie Black and Messrs.
Barnes and Martin. The good
and practical subject of Better
Citizenship occupied the attention
of the institute, Immediately after
intermission.
Prof. Holden was followed by
Prof. Crago, both agreeing that
party-ot-ism is commonly mistaken
for patriotism in this country and
that we want the young voter to
regard the franchise as a sacred
duty and to look upon good, true
American citizen as good deal
bigger man than a mere partisan;
supporting the candidate OF his
party stubbornly, blindly not be-
cause of his worth and eligibility,
or worse for the money or prestige
that the election of his man prom
ises him, personally.
W. J. Tracy made a ringing lit
tie speech, showing that he was
not owned nor controlled by any
clan or clique but that he was free
and independent American citizen.
"West Virginia Resources" facts
and figures taken from standard re-
ports of mine inspectors and au-
thorities on everything pertaining
to this subject was handled with
skill by Prof. Crago. He spoke OF
the oil and gas fields of our state,
and aroused the interest Of every
one present.
The Query Box was opened and
queries disposed of, the teachers
taking part in the discussions.
Roll call and adjournment. One
hundred and two teachers names
are enrolled.
EVENING SESSION.
The social feature of county in
stitutes was the theme OF discus
sion. Prof. A. B. Wilson opened
the topic by saying that he knew
only a few of the Tyler county
teachers and hoped to become better
acquainted. He felt the need of an
interchange of ideas, personally
and that co workers along educa-
tional lines receive enthusiasm
which helps them in many ways.
The speaker said that because a
teacher had been engaged in teach
ing school for number OF years
he did not mean that he had learned
all there is to know about it.
Mr.. ". c. Grimes was called
upon and responded by making
quite an original talk, which every
one enjoyed. He called attention
to the humble position occupied, es-
pecially by the teachers in the ru-
raj districts. Mr.. Grimes possesses
the gift of oratory, and made the
speech of the evening. Mr.. I. F.
Stewart spoke briefly, and, like Mr..
Wilson, regarded the social feature
of these gatherings a help to the
teacher. Live teachers come here
to help and be helped in the work
of the year.
The following persons delighted
the institute with a musical selec-
ton, Miss Halle Swan, accompan-
ist: Miss Inez Barnes, Mrs. E.
Kirk, Messrs Vancamp and Dar-
nell. Next was solo by Mr.. Crit
