A TOY factory may not sound large

will in time be the largest thing in
Morgantown.
ALL the towns along the Mononga-
hela are booming and the causes which
make them boom will be operating
for many years to come. The greatest

IT is to be hoped that the glass
workers of the country will not get
into another strike as some think
there is danger of them doing. None
of the factories in tow n belong to the
combine which the men are fighting
and strike elsewhere would help us
but We don't want to see it.

PRESSED PRISM PLATE GLASS Ct
Will not Take In any WINDOW Glass
Works.

A innocent paragraph form the
Glassworkers News was publis led
in the New DOMINION ON Monday
that Goes the Pressed Prism Plate
Glass Works an injustice. 1t was
stated that the Pressed Prism Plate
Glass Co. would branch out some
what. The item read as follows:
'Thc Prism Plate Glass Co. has ar
ranged for building a window glass
plant in connection with the plate
glass works. Mr.. Foote of New York,
has taken an interest. The company
will erect modern 36-blower window
glass factory next spring."
Mr.. Page and other officials of the
Pressed Prism Plate Glass Company
tell US there is no foundation what
ever for such statement and upon
investigation we learn that the rumor
was circulated in connection with an
other big glass plant and the wrong
name was used. The DAILY NEW
DOMINION is generally very accurate
and regrets this inadvertence very
much.
In note written to this paper this
morning Mr.. VIM. A. Page says:
''We desire to state that there is not
an atom of truth il, or any founda-
ton for such statement, and that
such an article tends to seriously af
feet the standing of our company,
therefore, we respectfully ask you to
dc us the justice of contradicting said
statement 10 your issue of to-day,
thereby setting us right before the
public. >"

To the Editor to the NEW DOMINION.

THOUSAND MARK
Reached in Attendance at the
Public Schools.


Children still Coming in-Pictures
for art Exhibition have been Lost
in Transit Round Table Will Con.
vene In Regular Session Friday.
The attendance in the Public Schools
of Morgantown has reached the thous-
and mark. Prof. w. Fl. Gallup stat
ed this morning that he did not have
the exact figures but was satisfied
that the thousand mark had been
reached and passed.
New students are coming 10 every
day and the attendance will be much
larger than it is now before the end
Of the year is reached.
Fine work is being done in all de-
partments of the school and the teach
ing force is very much encouraged by
the way that the children are going
into it.
This week was to have been marked
by splendid art exhibition but the
pictures will not be displayed. They
have been lost somewhere in transit.
They started from Boston on Novem-
Der II which was in plenty of time to
get them here all right but they have
not been heard from yet. The rail-
road companies are hunting vigorous
ly for them and as soon as they are
found the exhibition will be held.
There is much interest being shown
in this by the public gene ally.
On Friday Afternoon at two thirty
the Monongahela Valley Round Table
will be called to order. The session
will be continued on Friday night and
Saturday morning. They are to be
held in the School Building as the
pictures did not come and will not in-
terfere with the meeting as at first
anticipated that they would. 1t had
been expected to meet in Commence.
ment hall.
A cordial invitation Is extended to
the public to be present at these meet
ings. There will be some very inter.
esting DISCUSSIONS which will not only
be of interest to teachers but to the
public in general.
