A review of the facts, as they relate
to Martinsburg school affairs, many
aid the Berkeley Democrat i'll keep
in Z the public informed, and at the
same tine not make itself public
laughing stock.
The facts are, that a lady teacher
in the public schools in Martinsburg,
charged the principal of her school
with coming into her room, in an
intoxicated condition. and making an
indecent proposal TO her.
The school board, by vote of three
to two, refused to hear and investl-
gate these charges. The school term
ends and teachers are TO be elected.
for the coming year, these same three
commissioners vote TO re-elect this
man. with these charges hanging over
him, and ar the same time refuse TO
re-elect the lady, who brought the
charges
All teachers who desire 70 teach,
are required by law to present to the
board OF Education certificate show
ing them 70 possess a good moral
character.
A majority Of the examining board
refused 70 state that this teacher has
such character, as the law requires

members of the school board, drove
to the home of Professor ID. I'll. Dodd
and threatened him. with the loss of

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS.
some Facts About the. Central CONNER
ciaI college, Cumberland and Win



| Central Commercial College, Cum
berland, Md, Wine hester, Va. is the
leading commercial school of Western
Maryland and draws students from
Maryland. Virginia, Pennsylvania,
and near by states.
1t offers superior advantages over
similar schools, owing to the
thoroughness of its course of study,
the educational qualifications. teach
ing ability and character of its teach
ers. and the high class of students that
it graduates.
1t ranks with such schools as Pierce
School, Philadelphia Packard School
n. Y, and other schools OF the first
class.
The management Of this college Is
in the hands of practical business
men, and the resident. Edw. Presho,
is the teacher and business man Of
years of practical experience.
The growth of the college under the
management of President, Presho has
been phenomenal and based upon
merit alone.
Young people living within two
hundred miles of the Central Com
mercIal College will lind it strictly
to their advantage to become students
at this deservedly popular, Old Rell-
able School of Business and Short
hand, as there is no better school any
where.
The useful education is the one that
can be used. the one that corners both
knowledge and capacity.
The training at this institution i'm
parts practical knowledge and gives
the student the capacity to do things
well.
Public school teachers and adj
vanced 'udents from other schools re-
ceive special attention. Each student
receives individual instruction and
attention in keeping with personal
needs. The aim is to give maximum
of instruction in a minimum OF time.
This college does not claim a national
reputation, tn ough its graduates ana
students live in many different states
both east and west of the Mississippi,
nor claim TO be the Oldest, newest or
largest; simply the best in impartlng
first class business training. All per-
sons who contempla tie attending
commercial school will do we'll to
write for information before deciding
to go elsewhere, as full particulars
can be had upon application.
The high standing of this college is
due the thoroughness of the practical
business training which its graduates
have received and has done much to
spread the fame of this Institution
among-business men, thus creating ia
demand for the graduates of the Cen
trail Commercial College. That is
naturally envied by inferior schools.
That this Institution is the best SIM
ply signifies that it is of the best
class. Enough said, investigate for
yourself-you' IL be convinced.
