A MOUSE MILL.
How Thrifty Scotsman Put the Small
Animal to Work

Thrift IS generally acknowledged to be one os
the leading characteristics of the natives of Fife
shire and it never was more forcibIy eXemplifed
than in the person of David Hatton, a native OF
Dunfermline. who actually proved that even
mice, those acknowledged pests of mankind could
be made not only to earn their Twins. but
also to yield respectable income their owners.
says The Scotsman
About the year 1920 this gentleman actually
erected a small mill at DunfermIne for the
manufacture of thread-a mill worked entirely BY
mice. 1t was while visiting Perth prison in 1s12

A TEACHERS CONFERENCE.
An Important Meeting to Discuss
Live Educational Questions in this
State.

Everybody who has given any attention to
the subject recognizes the fact that there is
need Of greater unity in the educational
work of the state. From the primary schools
on through the University there should be
close connection. In order TO have free
and full discussion of the various problems
growing out of this idea, Teachers Con-
ference will be held at Morgantown in July
under the auspices of the Summer School of
the University. Leading representatives of
the various educational institutions and i'm
terests of the state will be invited to attend
and to take part in the discussion of such
topics as "The Relation of the Normal
Schools to the University, . The Relation
of the Denominational Schools to the Uni
versity," Public High Schools in West Vir-
ginia," and other subjects of immediate
Importance and interest in this state.
Such teachers conference, representing
all of the educational interests of the state,
has never been held before. Special persons
win be asked to open the discussions, but
everybody who is interested in any phase of
this great question is invited to be present
and participate. The conference promises
to be the most important and interesting
educational meeting ever held in West Yir-
ginia.

UNIVERSITY OPENS.
Students Return for Final Term
at the big School

Spring Vacation with its joys Have
Ended and Work has Started in Ey-
cry Department Plenty of Hard
Work and fun:Ahead for the Student
Body-Getting busy With the Start.
The spring term opened today at
the University The students have
been at home to spend week or so
visiting their parents. Most Of them
have returned TO school but there are
many who nave not yet reached Nor
gantown They will be here in the
next day or SO and in few days every
thing will have resumed its normal
condition at the big school.
Every train has brought large crowds
OF students. This was especially true
yesterday afternoon and this morning
when hundreds of the boys and girls
came back. Today has been spent in
matriculation. Tomorrow will be de-
voted mainly to the same thing and
on Friday regular class work will be-
gin.
Some changes has been made in the
program as announced. There will be
no convocation exercises this evening
on account of the death Of Mrs. Purin-
ton, the venerable mother Of DR.. Pur-
inton, president Of the University. Dr.
Purinton had been expected to make
the conyocation address.
During the next term the enrolment
which has run over nine hundred for
the year is expected to pass the one
thousand mark. There are number
of new cadets to enter the corps and
the new student is more in evidence
than he has been since last fall term.
Many of these will remain for the
summer term which is to be held this
summer. For several years this fea-
ture has net been part of the Uni
versity's system on account Of lack of
funds but money for this purpose was
appropriated for the purpose by the
late legislature and it is TO be resum-
ed.
Few changes have been made in the
teaching force and these have all been
announced in this paper previously.
The new professor, Prof. Boughton
who has the chair OF civil and min
ing engineering is here and has assum-
ed his duties.
During the spring term the students
will be active in many directions.
They will publish the annual, the
base ball season will be ia full blast,
the track team will be in evidence and
the intercollegiate contest will be
held here. There are two more at
fractions on the lecture course and
with the pleasures of Commencement
week there will be no time for lament
ing over not having fun enough.
