be changes In the method OF teach
ers' examinations. The concensus OF
opinion seems to be that there should
be uniform examinations throughout
The state, and that the certificates Is
sued should be valid in any and every
county In the state. This seems to be
common sense View OF the matter.
and IL adopted 1t Will be a great help
to the cause Of education throughout
The state. The writer has been asked:
How could such q thing be? Who
would conduct the examinations. and
how? These questions are very easily
answered. a stated board would pre-
pare the questions, and they would be
sent under seal TO the county superln-
tcndcnts OF the different counties, and
be opened in the presence Of the teach
ers after they had been assembled for
examination. This neCessitates the
same day or days for examinations all
over the state. The state board would
also send a list of answers to the var
iors questions which is not opened
until the county board meets to eXanl-
Inc the manuscripts. The boards
grade their manuscripts according to
their best judgment, having the an
swers of the state board to refer TO II
they wish to do SO. If any one Is
aggrieved. or In any way not satisfied
with his or her certificate the matter
can be referred to the state board.
This, Is an instance of the manner In
which the examinations are conducted
in Virginia. The writer was per-
mitted to be present at the examination
In Campbell county few years ago.
The plan is giving perfect satisfaction
there. or was at that time 1t Is SIRE
ly great improvement on the method
row In vogue in West Virginia.

a great many people think the en-
tire expenses or the State University
are borne by the state, when the fact
Is the United States government pays
more than the state Of West Virginia
does. During the past five years the
federal appropriations have been $751;
$50 In excess Of the state approprla-
items. SO we can see that We are under
many obligations to Uncle Sam for the
success of our lending school. An an
Eropriation made for any one Of our
schools should not be considered Il tax,
but an Investment; and there is no In
vcstmcnt that pays a greater interest.
II really pays into the treasury in dol
lars n good rate of interest. while the
value OF the true manhood and woman
MOOD given back In return for the out
lay cannot he counted in money value.

SCHOOL MELANGE.

Through the courtesy of President
Raymond. of our State University. the
writer has received copy of the bien-
NAL report of the board of regents and
the president of West Virginia UnIver-
sity for lS97-9S. After reading both re-
ports carefully, he must confess that
although he has tried 10 keep himself
in touch. as far rs possible, with the
great advancement made by the insti.
ution during the past few years. 1t Is
very much greater than he had ever
dreamed Of. If this carefully pre-
pared report could be read by all
friends Of education in the state they
would not only be proud Of our Univer-
sity. but there would be no difficulty in
getting the necessary appropriation
to make 1t indeed. what It Is fast be-
coming In spite Of all adverse circum-
stances, one of the very leading insti-
tutions OF our land. One thing in the
report Of the president Is worthy of
commentator above all others. i. c.,
his bold stand against allowing politics
TO have anything whatever to do with
the management Of the affairs of our
University. This has been the bane
OF the institution in the years past In
saying this. | do not Charge any one
party. for both have been to blame,
not only in regard TO the University,
but also the normal schools. May this
never be the case with any of our
schools in the future. hut may the pol
icy pursued toward them be so broad
that 1t will be above the influence OF
party or creed Of any kind whatever.
II our legislature ut its present session
would pass law appropriatinE yearly
q tax of one-half n mill on each dollar
Of the assessed valuation OF the prop
crty In the state, 1t would do wise
act.

The committee appointed at the
meeting OF the State Educational As
SGciatoin last July to bring the matter
OF teachers pensions before the pres
ent legislature has decided that we
must wait until the matter Is fully un-
derstood by the teachers of the state
before providing bill The commit
tee does not fear the legislature, for
all the members who have been APP
preached on the subject favor any aid
for the teachers and the governors
message has given fresh impetus to
educational affairs. The pension bill
is for state fund. and it Is Well
known fact that mahy-the majority
OF the teachers throughout the state
do not yet understand the matter nor
the benefits of such bill: therefore.
the committee has AGREED that they
will ask the state superintendent TO
provide place on the county institute
programme for the coming summer.
andhave good teacher speak upon the
topic of teachers pensions at every
county institute in the state. The
committee also complains of the lack
OF literature on the subject.
The above was sent to the writer by
4 member Of the committee. We have
no criticism TO make. only that we are
sorry that the committee did not do
at once what they were appointed for,
|. e., bring the matter before the pres
ent legislature. A bill passed making
the matter legal would, in the humble
opinion of the writer. be the first move.
At the Institutes in Tyler and Wetzel
counties. pains was taken to bring the
matter before the teachers, and they
were found unanimously to favor the
plan,' or, rather any good plan that
might be devised to bring about the re-
suit The Legislature does not meet
again until January. 1901. and 1t was
hoped by the OriginatorS, or prime mo-
vers in this matter, that the opening OF
the twentieth century would see 1t well
under way. But If the committee in
its wisdom has decided otherwise all
should loyalty submit. and do all in
their power in helping to disseminate
all the knowledge necessary TO make
success OF the matter.
4 meeting Of the \. and B. and
grammar teachers of Ritchie school
was held in the office Of the principal
on Friday afternoon. January 10. at
o'clock. 1t was hoped that Supern-
tendent Anderson would be present.
but as he wasn't. an interesting round
table discussion Of quite a number Of
topics was had. What constitutes good
order in the SCHOOL, room was the main
topic. 1t was decided that good order
consists not so much in perfect quiet
ness In the school room. but where all
are engaged in cheerful work in good
order. A school Interested is 4 school
kept busy, and a school kept busy Is
school governed.

The Tobin.

Corrigan, Mckinney & CO.,
have been given "a lease upon
this property and are preparing
TO unwater the underground
workings and get the mine in
shape to ship ore next season.
A boiler arrived ut the property
this week and is being unloaded.
AS soon us that is in place a
hosting plant and pumps will
be gotten around and pumping
started.
The Tobin adjoins the Colum-
bia on the northeast and was
explored by Jas. Tobin in 1890.
A very promising body OF high
grade ore was shown up at the
time but the equipment was
inadequate and work was sus-
pended to enable the operators
to get in heavier machinery.
Some disputes arose between
the leassees and the fee owners
soon after which kept the mine
closed until the present time.

editorial statement that on the previous day

In single issue of any regular main edition OF
ty-two columns OF advertising printed by the
New York Herald on that day In the special sec
ton devoted TO the interests OF brooklyn and
the record OF /" The Tribune " for April 10 sur
passed that OF the Herald for the same day by
more than 1000 agate limos of paid advertising.
Ing it's Brooklyn and New Jersey supplements,
the New York Herald ON that day stll fell short
OF The Tribune " by more than 1000 lines In
the actual amount OF paid advertising.
New York Herald OF April 10 printed in It's main
edition, exclusive OF its brooklyn and New Jer-
sey supplements, IL S23 agate lines OF advertise
ments. Including. those, supplements Il claims
day ~. 40 agate limos OF paid advertisements.
The comparison should be made In lines OF agate
measure. because the columns OF " The Trib-
while those OF the New York Herald contain only
2SS lines OF agate each.
For the -four Sundays ending April 10, the

:. The Tribune " printed iOsi 81 columns OF ac-
