far in excess of that shown by any
preceding years enrollm9nt.
Again during the lasd few years a
number of extra courses have been adj
ded to those formerly Offered by the
University, and the old courses have
all been enlarged and made more COM
pTehensiVe.
For example the law course has been
improved until w. V. U. can be classed
among the best law schol ols in the
country. This is but one OFF the many
courses which have been improved and
strengthened.
The regular academic courses have
been elaborated until they rank among
the best that can be found anywhere
Space alone prevents me from enumer-
ating further. The new d0urses in
elocution, painting, music and drawing.
The course in correspondence, and the
summer quarter all created during the
past year or two, almost double the
capacity of the University. IAnd yet
a person can be found who twill say
that the West Virginia University is
on a par with the Normal schools OF
the State. when anyone who knows
anything at all about the school sys-
tenn Of West Virginia knows thai the
Normal schools are intended to and do
rank with the regular preparatory
schools of the University.
The gentlemen also comments in q
manner intended to be sarcastic that
new buildings are being requested, and
complains that they are for thel bene-
fit of persons residing in this part of
II. i 10 for
that additional buildings are asked is
evidence of an expansion on The part
of the University, due to the increased
excellence Of every department Of
learning.
The fact that many students in the
University come from MOrgantown and
vicinity can not be considered an ar
gument that the University exists for
the benefit of persons in this part Of
the State, for wherever the University
might be situated many of the students
would come from that immediate vicin-
ity, as the expenses of the school would
be very light to such, and although we
have a number of students from Penn
sylvania and other States, they all
must pay tuition before they can at
tend, and so they do not get a bene-
fit from the States money but pay for
the privilege of attending the college.
The gentlemen also criticize the
President of the University for ineffic
iency in his work. Upon what ground
he does so l can not see. I challenge
any man to point to a period In the
history of the University of West Vir
ginia when it was in as prosperous a
condition as at present. Under Presi-
dent Raymond's wise management the
University has been improved in every
direction. 1t has been advanced in ex-
cellence until it can now take its place
among the best schools in the country.
But criticism from ungrateful people is
the price which all must pay for posi-
tons of trust and worth among their
fellows. STUDENT.

A Student Speaks OF the Progress Made
and the Opportunities Presented.
To the Editor of the Register.
In the publication OF your paper I'M
der the date of January II, 1899, you,
in speaking of number of affairs in
connection with the State Legislature,
publish among other things a short
interview with a Democrat, presum-
ably member of the State Legisla-
ture, in regard to the University of
West Virginia and its management.
The statements Of the gentleman,
made in this interview, grossly misre-
present the affairs of the University
and do it great injustice. The state
ments were made either under a mis-
understanding of affairs, or were cauS-
ed by a feeling of malice and hatred.
As a student OF the University who
has been intimately connected with the
institution during the past three or
four years, and as one who has been
an observer of the management under
the present and preceding administra-
tons, | think | am competent to speak.
In regard to the StatenlAnt that the
appropriation asked by thu Board of
Regents would not be allowed by the
Legislature, and the reasons assigned
for not allowing the same, have moth
ing to say, except that the manage
ment of the State University should,
and II the University is to be a success,
must be exempt from the spleen of
political factions, and when a man or
a number of men seek to avenge them
selves for wrongs, real or imaginary.
by refusing to give adequate financial
support to the State University, they
do not demean themselves as men of
reason and tiolate their oathS as leg
islators
The gentleman says THE manage
ment of the University has changed
the institution and leveled its stand
ing until it is now about on par with
the Normal schools, and is interfering
with their work"
This statement is so ridiculous and
absurd that to treat it with a posi-
bility of its being believed by the cit
liens Of the State is TO insult every
man of fair understanding who knows
anything at all concerning the affairs
of the University. But should the
statements of the gentleman have
found fruitful soil in the minds of any
reader the few following facts will
certainly serve to dispel them:
From the certificates of enrolment
il appears that the growth Of the num-
Der OF students attending the Univer-
sity has been exceedingly great during
the past few years. and indeed fer
many years in the past the growth has
been very perceptible. During the mast
year. 1878 the increase in attend
ance has been very much greater than
ever before.
The total enrolment ofAresident stu
dents in the University during the
year was CA. and il to this be added
the number of students receiving in
struction by correspondence. We find
that during the year of 1888. TIA stu
dents received instruction. humber

A Great Clergymans Idea of Benefactor
A great clergyman has said: 'The
earnest physician who saves life and
health is the greatest benefactor of his
race" We believe this, but we also
believe that great physician becomes
still more a benefactor of the people
when he gives his skill, his advice and
counsel to the sick without charge.
This is precisely what is done by the
famous DR.. Greene, of So West 18th ST.,
New York City, discOverer of the Won
derful medicine, Dir. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, and who is
the best known and certainly the most
successful physician in the country in
curing diseases. The sick and those in
anyway out of health have the privilege
Of consultation and receiving advice
and counsel from this eminent phySi-
clan without paying a fee. That is,
you can write about your case, and re-
ceive carefully considered advice and
information in regard to your COM
plants without charge of any kind.
He uses only harmless vegetable rene
dies in his treatment of diseases, and
it is by menas of these wonderful
health-giving medicines that he is en-
abled to make the marvellous and as
tOniShing cures which have made his
name a household word all over the
United States. Write to him at once,
for this is certainly your great oppor-
tunity to be cured.

FIFTY THOUSAND PRESENT.

Second Day of the Democratic Carnival
Great Success.
DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 5.-The second
and last day Of the Democratic carnival
in conjunction with the Texas state
fair was the most successful from point
of numbers of any political gathering
in the history of the state. All incom-
ing trains were loaded with visitors and
when speaking began it was estimated
that 50,OO0 people were present.
There was surging mass of people
at the grounds when the notables began
to arrive. Mr.. Bryan and party of
friends arrived at 1925 a. m. and he
was accorded magnificent ovation.
The meeting was called to order at
l1:45 a. m. and Judge James P. Tarvin
of Kentucky was the first speaker.
When he had concluded there were
loud cries for Bryan. The Nebraskan
disclaimed being present as a presiden-
tial candidate and spoke for an hour on
the issues of the day. The meeting
then adjourned until evening when the
dollar dinner closed the proceedings.
The first speaker was Hon. Oliver H, P.
Belmont of New York.
Belmont Of New York. The other
speakers were w. J. Bryan, w. T.
Stone Of Missouri, Champ Clark Of
Missouri, q. S. johnson of Kansas,
Harry Howes Of Missouri, Congressman
Sulzer of New York and Senator Berry
of Arkansas.
