SOME BREEZY COMMENTS
On Captain kunkle, Medley and Smith
by Parkersburg Sentinel.

The following breezy comments
on National Guard matters by the
Parkersburg Sentinel will be appre-
ciated in Morgantown:
Capt. j. NJ. Kunkle, of company
L of Morgantown, still maintains
that he has the best company in the
brigade, and no doubt he has, if he
says so,
captain Earl Smith, Of the bril-
gade staff, IS grooming Il mustache
which is attracting much attention
throughout the camp"
Captain M. NJ. Nicely ,,of company
II of Fairmout, is one of the proud
est officers in camp for the reason
that he possesses most handsome
gold mounted sword, with a solid
ebony grip, which is valued at $l00.
The sword was presented by his
company on August lst as token
of the esteem in which he is held by
his men. He may well feel proud of
his company, the personnel of which
is said to be the finest in the guard.
The company has only been organic
ed since April"

Overs Standard has Been Raised
and it is Now Up to the School

There will be great scarcity Of
school teachers in Monongalia coun.
ty this fall, unless some means yet
untried Is resorted to TO supply the
demand. At present, the number Of
eligible teachers, compared with the
number OF schools, looks about like
thirty cents after the county fair
superintendent Jesse Henry saws
that the public generally has little
or no idea of the conditions that
confront the Boards of Education
and trustees. Ia short talk with
New DOMINION man this morning,
he said about 150 teachers were
needed in the county, including those
employed in the Morgantown indie
pendent district. There are only
l22 enrolled at the institute now in
session.
A few Monongalia teachers will
attend institutes in other counties,
but at the same time, large per
cent of those in attendance here, will
teach in other counties This will
leave the number of teachers still
farther below the number of schools.
The first examination made Is
teachers eligible to teach in the
schools of the county. Among these
there were No 8 certificates. The
salary for No. is so small that
none of these will teach, and so the
number IS cut down to 8. There
were some hold-oyers, of course, but
not any thing like enough to meas
IRE up to the requirements Ten
took the second examination, but
these, will not materially increase
the number. Another examination
will be held September 10 and IL.
The number Of examinations is linn
tied to five. So at best the shortage
of teachers is a big problem for some
body to solve.
Superintendent Henry said this
morning: THE School Boards have
been elamoring at us to raise the
standard, and promising to raise the
salaries when we did. The standard
has been raised, now let the salaries
go up accordingly
In one district of this county, the
salary of Ne. teachers has already
been raised. In several instances
well known teachers have received
offers for extra pay out of private
pockets. One young man who has
left the teaching profession, was
offered school, the trustees prom
Using to pay him a considerable sum
out of their own pockets. The con
ditions warrant such heroic meas
ures.
There is considerable dissatisfac-
tion among the teachers here at the
institute over the results of the ex-
aminations, and it is altogether likely
that the resolutions adopted, will
take shot at the uniform law.

VIII Erect Memorial Lighthouse.

Honolulu, Aug. 5.-The proposal to
establish public park in or near the
city as memorial to the late Presi-
dent Mckinley will probably be aban-
doned. Instead of this tribute to the
chief executive, during whose admin
istration the people of Hawaii became
citizens of the United States, it is now
planned to erect Mckinley memorial
lighthouse at the entrance of Honolulu
harbor. This would be a prominent
situation from both land and sea, be-
sides being great practical utility.
This project meets with much favor
and is likely to be carried into effect
