and is nor confined to the book merely
The music has also been very success

Of the children has been made better. 1t
IS also as good an intellectual discipline
as any other Of the school studies.
The ATTENDANCE at the High School has
been Of commendable character. the in
tcrest has been much greater than last
year, and the spirit Of hard work is grow
ing. The order and spirit among the
pupils have been excellent. The more
capable, intelligent. and broad-mindcd the
teachers are, the less occasion will there
be for visible discipline. One hundred

High School the past year.

provement in educational matters Is al
ways from the top downward The his
tory Of education in all countries shows
this. and it is just as true in individual
cities and towns as in countries. The
High School costs more than any Of the
other schools, and this must necessarily
be SO; but If what has been said above is
true, the money is not expended omit alone
but all the other schools as we'll Ak first

the school system OF the city all it costs
because ofits uplifting influence onall the
schools below it. Just in the same way
the University of any state raises the stand
ard Of work of every High School in the
state and especially OF those Immediately
connected withit Hence the desire Of
every community. made up OF intelligent
citizens to have its High School connect
ed with some university or college. 1t is
matter for sincere congratulation that our
own High School is connected with the
West Virginia, University as any one may
see byconsulting our own catalogue or the
catalogue Of the West Virginia univer-
sity.
The tuition money received from nom
resident pupils was $4,000 an increase of
5000 over last year. This shows that
the school is growing in favor with these

no reason why Martinsburg should not
be an educational centre for a consider
able area Of territory.
