To the Editor OF the Nsw DoMaxlox.
On the afternoon of November 18th
the writer found himself and companion
in the vicinity OF Dellslow in q strange
neighborhood and among strange peo-
pie. After making some inquiries u
district institute was located at the
school house on the hill above the VIII
lage. On entering We found present
one teacher, two citizens and several
school children. We waited patiently
for more pedagogues to arrive but they
failed to come. Mr.. Frederick Break
iron called the meeting to order and
made few Introductory remarks. IL
was deemed necessary to elect a Presi-
dent and Secretary for the afternoon
and evening sessions and therefore Miss
Maud Wilson was elected President, aud
III. d. Cornell, Secretary. Short talks
we're giveu by Miss Wilson, S. O. Cor
roll and II. ID. Cornell, after which the
institute adjourned to meet in the
church nearby at p. m.
1t was hoped that several teachers
would be in attendance at the night
session, but We were amazed and aston
ished ct the fact that not an additional
teacher was present, not even the
teacher of the school in the sub.distfict
in which the institute was being held.
IL is q shameful reflection on the teach
ers that they take no more interest in
their district institutes. Never can we
hope for better schools or the teachers
expect larger salaries until they arouse
from their letharpy and attend and par
ticipate in their institutes, come ia con
tact with the school patrons and. If thev
possess any ability, make it known.
Notwithstanding the extreme scarcity
OF teachers the church was filed with
most attentive and sppreciative audi
ence,. The following program was ren-
dered;
Opening Address by Mr.. Breakiron
General discussion OF Corporal Pun
ishment and Moral Training.
Correll.
Address-versatility, by H. d. Cor
rell.
These were interpreted with the mu-
sic by the choir and recitations by
Misses May UT, Edna Nuce, Dora
Lemon, Anna Pool and Gussie Chris.

We cannot close this article without
mentioning the hospitality of the people
and attractiveness of the young fades,
being free to confess that we never saw
these two most desirable and fascina-
ting characteristics surpassed by tho
people OF any neighborhood. We shall
remember our reception by the congen-
ial people OF this community as being
the warmest and most sincere in genu.
inc hospitality with which we have ever
met. SECRETARY Pro TEN.

Great Kicks Make Large Score,

A letter from coach Yost of the
Kansas team tells how the Nebras-
kans made score of twenty while
the Jayhawkers were piling up thirty
six in a foot ball game few days ago.
1t was due to goal kicking from the
field. The Nebraska back made foul
attempts at goal and each of them
was successful. One of these was
made from the sixty yard line. This
record is unequalled in the records OF

that this will be remedied before long

The roast given the fellows who
Kissed one of the actors at the Opera
House on Saturday night was thor
oughlv enjoyed by every one present
outside of the victim of the roast.
The actor told him few unpleasant
truths. Hereafter the police should
be watching out for the people who
make breaks of this kind and throw
them out OF the place. The worst
commentary on the fellow who hiss
ed is that he would squeal after
paying only ten cents for his ticket.
He was very snail potatoes indeed.
ASK the merchant who does not use
the columns of the daily press why he
does not advertise, and nine times
out of ten he will tell you that he
can't afford to do so; that his business
does not pay expenses. Foolish man!
He doesn't reason backward from eff
feet to cause. It is here that the
paradox comes in. The reason he
can't afford to advertise is because he
doesn't advertise. Let him try the
experiment! Unless all experiences
shall fail he will get his money back
fourfold, gospel measure. 1t is false
economy to attempt to save money
by neglecting the surest way to bring
it in.

RAPID BUT INVESTIGATIONS
The Kind Of Growth That has Taken
Place Here.

But few towns In the State have
had more rapid, yet unpretentious
growth, than Morgantown says the
Clarksburg News. A few years ago
the somnolent old Monongalia town
had neither railroad nor slackwater,
and with but thousand inhabitants.
But year in and year out 1t has kept
up its unfiagging pace until now it is
splendid, well paved little city, with
five thousand people. After all, a
steady growth is the only substantial
one. The puckfist boomlet of Buck
harmon, where luxuriant acres of
broomsedge and crab-holes were sold
for town lots, will not be forgotten
soon. 1t taught everybody lesson.
