field agent of West Virginia Univer-
sity, was in the city several days dur
ing the week, visiting quite number
of our schools including the high
school, from which the university
expects to draw what students it
hereafter gets from this city. He
expressed himself as highly pleased
with everything he saw while among
US. He is always a welcome visitor,
being well known Of all the teachers,
and as he always has something good
to say to the pupils, they are glad to
have him come. He speaks in glow
ing terms OF the present standing and
the future prospects of the Univer-
sity. There are now over 500 in at
tendance, about ninety being ladies
or ''co-eds,n as they are called. The
University now has four sessions each

school will have the privilege of pur-
suing whatever studies they wish. as

There will be no excuse for those
teachers who wish to become more
proficient in their work, for saying
have no opportunity for self-improve

needs to prepare for the work Of the
coming year Morgantown and vi

to spend the summer, and we predict
great success to these summer ses-
