t Present-Next Meeting Clarksburg--
Closing Session OF Year to lie Held at
/ Morgantown.
The fourth session OF the Mononga-
hela Valley Round Table convened at
Grafton last Friday aud Saturday.
As usual Morgantown was we'll repre-
sented, her delegation consisting OF
Prof I. c. Miller, Pres. sapt. w. H.
Gallup, Mrs. L. V. Martin, Miss Eth
81 Carrie, Prof Lloyd Friend, Prof.
Clyde Barbe, and Mr.. $. II. Bowman,
Secretary.
The meeting was one of the best
both in number and interest. About
one hundred teachers from various
points were in attendance, including
State Supt. Trotter, Supt. Foulk and
several assistants from Piedmont.
Principal Hawkins and others from
Philippi. Supt II. G. McBee from
Huntington. Supt. i. l.. Burdatte
and his entire corps from Glarksburg
County Supt. NJ. B. Newton OF Harri-
son. Prof. Roster and others from
the Fairmont Normal School. Prof
n. d. Boland and others from the
Eairmont Public Schools and d large
number of teachers from Grafton and
vicinity and other miscellaneous
points. Had not the various small
pox guarantees been in force doubt
less 200 teachers would have been
present.
Three sessions were held, two on
Friday and one Saturday forenoon.
The program Of about 40 subjects was
taken up and many interesting and
profitable discussions ensued.
An important change In the place
OF the next meeting was determined
upon. At previous meeting 1t had
been arranged to hold tho fifth session
at Uniontown, Pa. Supt Lee Smith
of that town prefers that the Union
town meeting be deferred until next
fall, aud consequently 1t was unani-
monsly agreed that the invitation OF
Clarksburg to hold the next meeting
there be accepted. The date fixed
upon is April q and %.
The oratorical contest among the
1sOilttat tjIuVOl6 Will DC ICld dt OldIhS-
burg the night OF April %, and a
large force Of teachers from the var
ious Normals will doubtless be in at-
tendance at the Round Table. 1t Is
expected that the Clarksburg meeting
will be very largely attended.
Prof. Miller elected much praise for
the judleious manner In which he con-
Quoted the exercises OF the meeting,
and for the very helpful suggestions
which he interspersed throughout the
discussions.
Very favorable expressions regard
ing his availability for nomination az
State Superintendent were repeatedly
heard from teachers and others, and
Ii Is certain that he will have strong
support from Taylor county in the
next Republican Convention.
Supt. w. M. Foulk, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
same position was not neglecting his
interests, and expressed himself as
being entirely confident of his nomi-
nation.
Several Of the teachers present sig
nifled their intention OF entering the
University later.
Following the Clarksburg meeting
the last meeting for this school year
will probably be held at Morgantown
some time in May, 1t being very APP
propriate that the last meeting for
the year return here where the Round
Table had its inception. 1t is safe
To say that the organization will be
warmly welcomed to the Athens Of
West Virginia.
