Hon. J. r. Trotter, ex-State Superin-
tendent of Schools, corrects some mis-
statements charging him with of1cial
carelessness in having allowed the in
surance on the burned Shepherdstown
Normal School to lapse during his term
of ONCE. Mr.. Trotter states that when
he entered the Office in 1897 there
was but $500 insurance on the build
ing, which he raised to 5000. No policy
vas allowed to lapse during his in
cumbency. On the contrary, although
the Legislature for a time neglected
to make a sufficient appropriation for
the purpose, Superintendent Trotter
kept up the policies by giving his per-
sonal note for the amount. AS he says,
the burned buildings cost but $14,S0 0
five years ago, while the salvage and
insurance will amount to $12, 900 or
$13, 900, the loss will be small.
