Says that There has been Nothing
Much Doing at ShepherdstOwn-
Member of Board Quoted by Grafton
Sentinel.
The Grafton Sentinel of yesterday
contains the following:
Hon. Ira e. Robinson, a member OF
the Board of Regents of the State
Normal Schools, returned this morn
ing from Shepherdstown where he
had been attending the commence
ment at the Normal School, and IN
conversation with Sentinel reporter
at noon today stated that the reports
that have been published in this sec
tion of the State, regarding the trou-
BILE in the school there, IN which the
principal, Prof. Z. f. Goodwin, and
the music teacher Miss Salome Win
gate, have been at loggerheads, is
greatly exaggerated, and that there is
not grain Of truth in the report that
Mrs. Goodwin and Mrs. Reynold, bolh
leading ladies of Shepherdstown. be-
came entangled in fight. While
there has been some trouble at the
school, through charges preferred
against Miss Wingate, the same has
been confined to the school. Both
Prof. Goodwin and Miss Wlngate have
many friends in the school, who, when
the trouble came on, sided with their
favorite, and there was much bitter
feeling over the matter, but the as
sertion that Prof. Goodwin had been
attacked on several occasions, that BE
had been warned to leave the school
and had taken his departure from
Shepherdstown, are all errors and
nothing of the kind has occurred.
Prof. Goodwin completed his term at
the Normal, attended to the many
duties OF his principalship during the
commencement season. and could
dot btless remain at Shepherdstown as
long as he has mind to. Miss Win
gate, to, is still at the school, nc
charges have been officially made
against her and there will be no inves-
tigatiou by the board. Ii is with
pleasure that we learn Of these mat
tiers from Mr.. Robinson, and certainly
hope that other papers of the State
will do what they can to correct the
errors that have been made in stating
the case.

plantations.
The why and Wherefore of the Bond
Election to be Held Tomorrow
Schools are Entirely too Cramped-
No Increase in Levy will be Necess-
AIRY IL Bonds Carry.

/ f'snVoiS al LhtlIcit tUO tIalhpcu-
No Increase in Levy will be Necess-
airy IL Bonds Carry.
The following statement il made
by the Board of Education:
In view OF the approaching bond
election, the Board of Education
feels that it ought to call attention
to the conditions in the School Dis
trict which makes pressing the need
for more room.
The enumeration of youth of school
age for the present school year is
between 1000 and 100. As this
enumeration was taken early in the
spring, it is probable that with the
continued influx of new families to
our community, it is now not much
below 1000. OF this school popula-
ton at least two thirds may be ex-
pected to attend school, making it
necessary to provide school facilities
for some 1900 to 400 children.
The central school building con
tains sixteen rooms; allowing an av-
erage of 80 to a room an average
much too high for good school work
it will afford provision for only 500.
1t is the hope of the Board 20 have
the new building ready for use, if
not by the opening of the fall schools
at least shortly thereafter.
1t is the intention of the Board to
provide as fast as possible for the
children in the other wards and on
the west side, and Just as soon as the
devlopement of the newer parts of
the city are definitely determined,
so as to make it possible to decide
on proper locations, buildings will
be erected.
It will be remembered that it was
the expectation at the time that
bonds were voted for erection of the
Central School building, to use part
of the proceeds for erecting build
ing in the Fourth Ward, but it was
impossible to carry out the arrange
ments. For several years the small
err children of the Fourth Ward have
been compelled to attend school in
such rooms as could be rented for
the purpose.
A central accessible location has
been chosen and it is the purpose of
the Board to erect a building that
will give the children that use it
school rooms comfortable, commo-
dious, and pleasant as those of the
Central Building.
1t may be added that the increase
of taxable property in the District
will enable the Board to provide the
necessary sinking fund for the bonds
without any increase in the rate of
taxation. The election is to be held
tomorrow.

Many Visitors.

The last social event Of the college
year in University circles was the final
ball held in the Armory Thursday eve
ming under the auspices Of the officers
of the University Corps of cadets.
This concluded a week Of continued
gayety, and was ia every particular up
to the usual standard of Commence
ment balls.
About two hundred and fifty people
were in attendance and of these about
one hundred and fifty INDUCED in
dancing. Larger crowds have been
present at similar functions but none
ever entered more enthusiastically into
the engagement of the occasion. The
floor was never crowded, and the night
was cool enough to be ideal for dane
ing The floor was ID an unusually
fine condition.
The dancing began at $50, with the
opening waltz, "Our Wedding Day.
by Toban. The program consisted OF
TWENTY-FIVE regular dances, waltz and
two-ste alternating, three or four
extras, an s'extra-specialn and two or
three specials. 1t was four o'clock
before the strains OF the home waltz
concluded the evenings enjoyment.
Vincent's orchestra, of Grafton,
furnished the music, and the dancers
were very we'll pleased with the quail
ity of it. They made the greatest
hits with the eighth two-step, eli

The Armory was effectively decor

scheme worthy of note was the use of
potted palms and ferns around the
walls OF the building.
Capt w. L. Thurmend, Of the
artillery company, was officer of the
day. Capt. W. e. Parsons, Company
