MR. GRANT EXPLAINS.
He Disposes Of Some Unjust Criticisms
In Reference to the Point Mar
ion Glass Works.

There has been report circulated
that the glass works now being erect
ed at Point Marion could have been
located here If proper effort had been
made, and that l was instrumental in
getting them to go to Point Marion.
| wish to say that as far as | know
the parties never thought of coming
to Morgantown to locate and would
not have done SO for any thing we
could offer them. They made no in
quiry for a location and the credit Of
their locating there is entirely due to
A. S. Maple, as | was not made aware
of the proceedings until all arrange
ments for land had been made be-
tween them. The first arrangements
were for the Glass Co. to take an in
terest in the land, but some of their
stockholders objecting was asked to
take their place and thinking there
was no chance to lose did so.
If some Of those who are complain
ing about my action would work half
as hard as have done and will still
do to build up Morgantown we may
get something here in the future.
For my part l would rather have a
plant locate in Point Marion than in
Indiana, which would have been the
result if they had not gone where
they did. e. M. GRANT.

ONE OF THE BEST.
Pedagogue In Wheeling Inteligencel
Compliments M0rgantown Man.

Prof. A. l.. Wade, one Of the oldest
and also one OF the very best Of West
Virginia's educators, used to say he
judged the teachers work by his abil-
ity to secure high average per cent
of attendance saysPedagogue 10 the In.
telligencer. This at first sight may not
seem proper criterion by which to
judge, but it Is true one in nearly
every case. Nearly all cases OF non
attendance, except those on account
of sickness, could be avoided II the
pupil is properly interested in the
work OF the school, Some teachers
make the school room such a pleasant
place that none wish TO stay away.
Even In our own city schools some
teachers always report high average
attendance, while in other rooms the
average is nearly always low. Why is
this? Is there nothing in the teacher
that compels attendance on the one
hand and repels it on the other. The
matter is worth thinking over and the
more we think of 1t the more are we
inclined to the opinion that Prof
Wade's plan OF judging the worth of a
teacher was good one. Let it be the
aim of every teacher to make her
school-room so attractive that the
boys and girls will not wish to stay
away from it. Knowing If they do
they will miss something that ought
not to be missed. The pupils can be
made to love the school-room and un-
til they do love it but little solid adj
vancement will be made.

FOUND And LOST.
Commandant of Cadets selected
but Backs Out.
Major Burns was to Have Come but
Went Elsewhere-He is an army OF
ficer who Has Been Retired-Col.
Fast will Remain at the Head Of the
Cadets for Some Time Yet.

The University is again without the
services of an army officer when it was
thought to have located one who
would accept the detail as Cemman-
dant of cadets. On the very day that
he was accepted he wired the institu-
ton that he had accepted another
place and that it would be impossible
for him to come to Morgantown.
The officer in question was Major
Burns of the regular army who was
retired few months ago on account
of a slight rheumatic affectation which
was discovered when he took his ex-
animation promotion. He spent the
summer at Mt. Lake Park and while
there Mr.. Sturgiss OF the board of re-
gents approached him on the subject
OF coming to the University.
He fell in with the plan and made
an application TO be detailed for duty
at this place. The election by the
regents was to have followed and it
was finally decided to ask him when
a telegram was received stating that
he had taken similar position at a
College 10 Ohio and that he could not
come.
Mr.. Sturgiss was asked about 1T
and he stated that this move was a
little hard to understand and that it
did not look like the authorities here
had been treated fairly but that they
would have to abide by the decision.
Col. Fast who is at present acting
Commandant and performing the du-
ties of the position in very accepta-
bic manner will be induced to remain
In the position until some one can be
found to relieve him from it.

Has Been Raymondized.

The management of the West Vir-
ginia University is coming in for a
liberal share OF just criticism. The
impudent, autocratic, ignorant, two
by-four president is the greatest fake
ever imported into the State of West
Virginia. His arrogance is as monu-
mental as his ignorance, and his
methods are as reprehensible as his
ideas of his own self Importance. The
University has been Raymondized,
and this is pretty bad on the school. =

ABOUT STATHERS.
Member of the Board of Direc-
tors from Weston Talks.

Says that Stathers Is Undoubtedly Gull
ty-Clearly Proven but some Mem.
bers OF the Board Would Not Listen
to anything-Other Charges May
Come up at Present Meeting.
Hon. Alexander McVeigh Miller OF
Anderson a member OF the board OF
directors of the asylum at Weston,
who has been here for several days
looking after the entrance OF his son
a. McVeigh Miller Jr., and Irene
Miller into the University has gone to
Weston to attend the meeting of the
board of directors OF that institution.
Before he left he was seen by repre-
sentative of this paper and was asked
about the status Of the Stathers case
1t had been stated in a special from
Charleston on Tuesday that Mr.. Mil
Ter had obtained the attendance of a
hotel man from st. Louis who would
give some very interesting testimony
before the board at the present ses-
sion.
Mr.. Miller stated that he had moth
ing to do with this and knew nothing
about it further than the newspaper
reports. He also stated that Stath-
ers ought to be removed and that TO
keep him in under the circumstances
was an outrage on the state.
The evidence brought out by the
previous session of the board was
enough to convict him in the minds
OF every fair minded man and he
should have been bounced at that
time without the additional weight
Of charges which have been brought
since then.
One of the mem bers voted to clear
the doctor when it was offered by the
prosecution to prove that this men,
Der knew absolutely OF the truth of
of the charges in at least one case.
They asked to be relieved from the
motion to have them put on record
when they voted which was made by
Miller and promised to take up the
supplementary charges at the present
meeting if this was DONE They are
now showing disposition to get out
OF this il they can. Whether they
can do so or not depends on how
tightly they intend to stick and has
no reference to the weight or conclu-
siveness of the evidence which can be
brought out by the prosecution.
Gov. Atkinson has been fooled and
he is taking the stand On the matter
that be does because in has been rep
resented that the element that is af-
ter Stathers has been fighting the adj
This is untrue but it
is keeping the Governor on the side
Of the doctor. When he gets his
eyes open there will be an upheaval.

FAULTY RECORDS.
Mansfield again Rises to make a
few Remarks.
Legislature cannot get Information that
is wanted-Dr. Raymond thinks that
all he should give out is all that any
one should haye-More roasts from

is wanted--Dr. Raymond thinks tina
all he should give out is all that an,
one should have-More roasts from
Charleston.
The following article is from tn,
charleston Gazette. Mr. Mansfield
the editor was chairman OF the house
committee of finance and knows
what he is talking about in this con
neetion;
DIR. Raymond regrets that the
press of the state does not go TO the
records for information about the
University instead Of taking rumor.
Unless there is an improvement in
the system of record keeping since
the last session of the legislature,
very little information can be gotten
from the record. Last winter the
legislature asked for certain infor-
nation, and while it was such that
the law requires to be kept and re.
ported, it was not furnished. The ex-
PLANTATION was that no such matters
we're made part of their record. Ii
important information aud data
which the law requires to be kept
and reported are not made a matter
of record, the records are not likely
to furnish much information ofvalue.
Again, if DR.. Raymond is no more
disposed to furnish the press with
reliable and definite information
concerning the University than he
was the finance committee of the
house, the press would have its
trouble for Its pains. He seemed to
think then that such statements as
he saw proper to give the legislature,
and such suggestions as he made
were all the information they were
entitled 10 have, and his judgment
must be accepted as final.
In spite of the most persistent eff
forts to ascertain the true situation
at the University and its real neces
stiles, it seems that large sums of
money were struggled through under
false representations and the surplus
applied to purposes for which the
Legislature absolutely refused to APP
propriate money.
Dr. Raymond speaks of other
sources of revenue beside the money
provided by the state, and this is
another matter about which no def
mite information could be had. The
legislature has a right to know Just
what monies the University receives
and the source from which they
come. Unless they come from pri-
vate requests made tor specific pur-
poses they are to be taken as so
much assistance given the state in
the maintaining of the Institution,
and not as a bonus to the president.
Because these sums come from other
sources than through the state APP
preparations is no reason why they
should be applied to unnecessary
and extrayagant purposes.
A complete report should be made
of al! such monies and the purposes
to which they have been applied and
the legislature can then take up the
matter in an intelligent way and
provide such additional sums as may
be required. The legislature should
require all such funds to be prop
erly applied aud reported before a
single dollar is appropriated out Of
the state treasury.

When asked about the progress of

was going very satisfactorily but that
the dam portion would not be COM

The central section will not be

Col. Gilmore is coming very fast

He has the lower part of it graded and

is holding it back now. As soon as
the brick is gotten on the ground they
will be laid. The grading is now
ready for it.
This work has been very rapidly
pushed in view OF the bad weather
that has been encountered and when
it is completed it will be like every

that is exactly right The paving

One of the things it is certain that
the near future will bring, is an
lsthmian canal to unite the waters
of the Atlantic and the Pacific. The
nooted question has. been and is
where and by whom shall the canal
he dug The question is likely to
occupy prominent place in the de-
bates in Congress this winter though
ii is probable that the Administra-
ton would prefer that no definite
course of action should be adopted
until after next years elections.
The ostensible reason alleged will be
that the Commission appointed to
consider the subject cannot com
plete its report in time.
