DR. KENT'S LECTURE.
"An Old Fashioned Club"-Dr.
Johnson the Central Figure.
Remarkable Group of men Gathered
Around Him Burke. Goldsmith,
Beauclark, Gibbons, Gsrrick and
Reynolds Lecture Of Intense Inter.

DR.. Charles w. Kent entertained a
good audience for an hour at Com.
mencement Hall last night with his
lecture, "An Old Fashioned Club. y
This with his lecture at two O'Clock
this afternoon concluded his engage
ment here. He has been heard with
a great deal of pleasure and profit, aud
his lectures will be remembered as one
of the best features of the Summer
School OF 1903. Besides being great
authority on English aud English
Literature, DR.. Kent is a genial, COM
panionable gentleman, and has made
warm friends 10 Morgantown.
In introducing his lecture last night,
he said be would like to talk about
the industrial development of this
part of West Virginia, in which be
knew all were interested. He did not
want to be limited to literary pun
suits and subjects, but liked to be in
touch with humanity. The term
professor" he did not like; it was SO
wide in its modern application that it
included the bridge-iumper and the
barber, as we'll as the scholar.
The club, he said, was as old as
Anglo-Saxon civilization, The Sax
on's earliest conception of heaven, was
great club, where the disenthraled
spirits Of heroes gathered around the
beard to recount the deeds done on
earth. So animated did these discus
sions become, that the heroes fought
over in spirit the deeds done IN the
| flesh.
1t was this feeling which led to
the formation OF the CLUB In the 18th
century, of which Or. Samuel Johnson
was the central figure, and the equal
iof which the world has never know q
DR.. Kent asked his audience to
think OF the three great inyasions of
England-the Normans from the
South, the Danes from the East, and
the Celts from the West, as waves
setting in uron England at the same
time. These meet in the centre, in
Warwickshire, and there are pro-
duced the best Englishmen-men and
women like Shakespeare, DR.. Johnson,
and George Elliot. DR.. johnson was
the theme of DR.. Kent's lecture.
He reviewed briefly his early life in
his fathers book-shop, his marriage,
his going to London with David Gar
rick, his early struggles, the writing
OF the FIRST English directory, the
death OF his mother and the writing
of "Rasselas", in the evenings of a
week, and the formation OF the"Club".
DR.. Kent touched with great skill
on the members of the club, one by one.
Lankton, the man whose soul touched
heaven. Beauclark, the decendent of
Charles Secon9 and Nell Guynn,
Burke, the only man whom DR.. John
son admitted called Oft tall bis powers,
iSir Ioshna Reynolds, who stopped
work day when Goldsmith died,
Goldsmith who adorned all he touch
cd, Gibbons, the historian, Garrck,
the actor, and anally, Boswell, the
hero-wossbiper and Johnson's biogra-
pber.
He concluded with just and glow
ing tribute to DR.. Johnson his influ
ence and supremacy in the world OF
letters. Every word of the lecture
was intensely interesting, and The au-
dience was sorry when it was ended.

ONLY TWO NUMBER ONES
Uniform Examinations Play
Havoc in Monongalia, too
Twelve FIAT faiIures-Still Better on

Teachers Eligible In the County
Miss Bailey and Mr.. Mcclure the
Lucky ones-some Startling figures.

I Lucky 0neS-S0me startling nguTess
County Superintendent Jesse Henry
has received from the State Superin-
tendents Office at Charleston, the re-
turns for the first examination OF
teachers under the new uniform exam
ination law. The returns came as a
surprise little less than startling to
the public generally aud as an awful
shock TO the teachers themselves.
Still, Monongalia county Jared better
than her Beighbors, Marion or Harri-
son.
The returns for Monongalia county
show:
Whole number OF applicants exam
ined, 80.
Number receiving No. certificates,
2.
Number receiving No. 2 certificates,
Il.
Number receiving No. certiflcat ties,
8.
Number OF complete failures ~.
BY these figures 1t is seen that a
little more than per cent of the APP
pllcants got No. | certificates, and 40
per cent OF them failed entirely.
When tbs considered that 10 former
years, the 1at failures were not 10 per
cent, and that at !east 40 per cent Of
the applicants got No. certificates,
the appalling catastrophe is apparent
The fortunate teachers who got in
the liast class were Miss Alice Bailey,
of Grant district. and John +. Nc
Clure.
In Harrison county, only one appli-
can't out OF II received a number one.
20 twos and % tbrees were issued, and
there were 10 failures,
La Marion county, two number ones,
10 twos, and 10 threes were issued.
There were IL failures. The appli-
cants were 46.
Both uf these records are worse
than Monongalia's, which will appear
By little figuring. All are bad
enough, and two questions are pre-
sented: "What kind OF teachers
have been filling the schools?" or the
alternative, What sort OF an examl-
l-nation are the pedagogues up against. -
1t is claimed that the examination
was not more difficult than those
given under the old law, but that the
grading was much closer. This is the
only explanation that can be offered
for the slump.
The returns for the second exami-
nation have not been made, but judy
ing by the first there will be no No.
rs among the ten who took It, about
Three number twos, and possibly three
number threes. This makes a total
of "a teachers eligible to teach in the
county, less than taird of the
number needed.
A final examination will be held in
September and all the teachers will
have another, chance. The second
examination was held before the re.
turns were in for the first, and the
teachers did not know whether or not
a second trial would be necessary.

Governor White on this question are
being asked to line up on startling
