The educational system of the city
has had much to do with its advance
ment Contrary to the usage diseOv-
cradle in most OF college towns the
public schools are the chief pride of
its citizens. A public school building
which is equal to any in the state is
provided and no expense is considered
too great in caring for the children Of
the district. Ward schools have been
provided for the smaller children
wherever needed More than 500 chill
dren are receiving instruction.
One of the chief glories Of the town
is in the University. Here nearly one
thousand young men and women are
receiving instruction. Fourteen de-
grees are offered in this and the stand
ard is as high as in any college in the
country. The state has appropriated
$l35, 600 year during the past two
years for this purpose and plant OF the
institution is valued at more than
million dollars. The United States
experiment station is located here
with 16 members .on the staff and
fully equipped station as well as fine
farm for experimental purposes is at
hand. The prosperity OF the town
would be secure If it had no other
source of Income than the University
but it has become but an incident in
the source of prosperity under which
Morgantown is advancing.
Located as it is at the gateway OF
West Virginia, with vast stores of
mineral and timber wealth as yet
practically untouched, enjoying a
growth and prosperity which SIS en-
barassing in its richness, the city has
nothing to look forward to but pros
perity with large p Her past is a
record of glorious achievements and
the future glows with promises the
import Of which are not understood
by the most sanguine. Morgantown
expects and with confidence that it is
to be one Of the leading industrial
cities of the state as it is now the
chief seat of learning in the common
wealth. 1t is bound to share to the
greatest degree the development nd
industrial impetus being felt in every
section of the young state which is
awakening from the sleep which has
held it moribund for decades.
Her people are busy aud contented.
A larger proportion of them own their
houses than in any other town of its
size in the county thanks to three
building and loan societies doing bus
mess here each of which has capital
stock of more than 800, 600. With
her factory fires lighting up the valley
for miles around and with her citizens
prosperous, law abiding and content
ed she confidently awaits the blessings
Of the future which are bound to be
showered upon her in constantly
increasing volume
