Sisterville, w. Va, which is in rich
oil and gas country, got its name from the
fact that an apparently valueless tract of
1900 acres was given to seven sisters and
consequently called sisters farm. A
little prospecting showed the land to be
immensely valuable, and growing town
of some thousands of inhabitants now occu-
pies the farm.

100 MANY RURAL SCHOOLS
SUPERINTENDENT OLSON SAYS CHI
CAGO CONVENTION FAVORS A
GENERALIZATION SCHEME
CoNvEYANCES FOR CHILDREN
Proposal to Transport Pupils Living
at a Distance Free OF Cost
Too Soon for Phonetic
Spelling.

Supt. Olson, of the department of pub
lie instruction, returned yesterday from
Chicago, where he attended the national
meeting of city, county and state super
intendents. He said the superintendent
were strongly in favor of centralizng
rural school districts and introducing the
system of carrying children to school in
conveyances hired for the purpose.
In every county in this state, and
other states" said the superintendent
there are great many small schools in
rural districts which would better be out
of existence. The districts have not suf1i-
cient facilities at hand to teach the chill
dren properly, and, in view of this fact
and of the poor accommodations in some
localities, teachers, children and parents
become discouraged. Now the scheme ia
vored by the superintendent is to do
away with many of the useless schools,
centralize the districts and inaugurate a
system whereby children who live at any
distance can be taken to school in con-
Veyances of some kind or other.
There is now a bill on this very SUBJ
ject in our legislature and the house COM
mittee will recommend it for passage.
If it goes through it will be a good thing,
and 1 am heartily in favor of it."
Another thing of Importance discussed
at the convention was the question of
phonetic spelling. 1t was proposed to
have a commission appointed for the pur
pose of accomplishing something in this
line; also to give the commission $1,000
through the National Educational assoc
citation with a view to having the work
properly done. The proposition brought
out some warm debates which showed
that the general sentiment was against
phonetic spelling The majority of the
superintendent thought it would be
useless as well as thankless task to in
augurate spelling reform.
DR.. ]. F. Millspaugh, president of the
Winona normal school, was the only del
egate from Minnesota who took part in
the proceedings of the convention. He
discussed the topic of individual instruc-
ton. Following are the names of the
others who represented Minnesota: City

sEABROOKE's MANAGER TALKS.
Thinks Well of the West, but Dis
likes Its Magnificent Distances.

Samuel E, Rork, manager of the Sea-
brooke Opera company, is stopping at tie
Ryan. Mr.. Rork is a typical New York
man, and has just returned from his first
visit to the Pacific coast and Puget
Sound, and has some very vivid impress
sions of what he has seen. Although a
very young man, Mr.. Rork was a partner
of the veteran theatrical manager, A. NJ
Palmer, for a number of years, and
counts as perhaps his greatest success

In Speaking of the Western country
from a theatrical mans point of view,
Nh. Rork last night said: 'Of course
you expect me to say that it is great
country. Well, it is, but were to make
the trip over again 1 would not carry as
riany as sixty-five people. The dis
tances between towns and cities where

rates are too high for man to take the
risk. I was particularly fortunate, per-
kaps, in having a well known star and

derstood in this matter. I do not mean
that I would bring a mediocre company
