Changes in the Nnrnnal Schools.

At the meeting of the Board of
Regents of the West Virginia State
Normal Schools held at Clarksburg
yesterday these institutions were
ripped open from center to circumfsr-
ence, and every one of the schools
had their faculties changed. Five
new principals were chosen, only one,
Prof. Corbly, of Marshall College,
being retained. The new board ap-
pointed by Governor White had full
sway, and the FIVE Republicans gave
no quarter to the two Democratic
members.
Shepherd College, in which our
people are, of course, most deeply IN
terested, suffered the loss Of its faithful
principal, Prof. A. c. Kimler, who
fell victim to the demand for polit-
ical sacrifices. Although no one
could accuse Prof. Kimler of being
partisan, he was Democrat, and that
was sufficient to cause his decapitation.
He will be succeeded by Prof. E. F.
Goodwin, who for the past year has
been principal of the normal school
at Athens, Mercer county. Prof.
Goodwin is an excellent man and en-
joys the reputation Of being one of the
States best educators. He is a ma
tive of the vicinity of Clarksburg and
is about SO years old. He has been
married about year. Prof. Goodwin
is a member of the NJ. E. Church, and
is Christian gentleman. He is a
graduate of the West Virginia Uni
versity. Prof. L. D. Arnett resigned
that he might accept fellowship in
Clarke University at Worcester, Mass,
where he will further prepare himself
for normal school work, and Miss An
ma G. Woolery, Of Bethany, this State
was elected an assistant in his place.
Miss Urna Cummings was not returned
as teacher of music, and this pos ition
will be filled later. Messrs. G. NJ.
Beltzhoover, ]. S. Fleming and j..
Frank Turner were reelected m en-
bers of the executive committee.
The following are the teachers APP
