of TIE studies in the schools: and
strongly approves individuality" for
the high school, as explained by Prin-
cipal Humphrey
His address in part is an follows:
Under our present law Boards of
Education have authority TO estab-
Esh and maintain High Schools. but
there is no requirement whatever as
to the courses OF study to be offered
in such schools, each town or indie
pendent district providing such
course as it may choose. So. as has
been shown here to-day, they vary
from two to four year course. and
employ from one to ten instructors.
and yet all are included under one
general term. High Schools. This IS
20 reflection or criticism on the small
school that is laborins under adverse
conditions. but it emphasizes the fact
that there should be some definite
tstandard fixed.
! What is needed first is some prop
erly constituted authority to deter
mine what shall be the minimum re-
quirements in the High School and
to prescribe definitely the courses OF
I study that shall be offered. The au
thority of this governing body should
be unquestioned. and it should be
clothed with power sufficient to car
ry out its regulations. For such gov
ternment and control of our High
/ Schools. am led TO believe that the
best centralized authority viii be q
I State Board OF Education with power
4 to prescribe not only the courses o.
/ study but to formulate rules and reg
Lulations for the general control o.
such schools. OF course the gloca
I Board would have authority in al
matters OF detail under the rules es
4 tablished, but in order to have uni
4 tormity the schools must be uade1

of the high school. He pointed out
that the people of Fairmont are fntec-
ested not only in the work of bring
ing coal to the surface but are equal
ly as much Interested in educating
the youths Of this city who number
TWENTY-FIVE hundred. He paid tribute
to the press OF the city which is al

Of education in this section. The dele
gates were welcomed because Of what
they bring to the city. which far ex-
ceeds what they VIII take away. They
bring inspiration. suggestions and
many things which VIII go TO make
the schools Of this city better and
more capable TO do the work which
lies before them.
Hon. e M showalter Disresses-
The address of the next speaker
was characterized by giving several
thoughts on The system OF education
which is in vogue today. Mr.. Show
alter Represented the city board OF
education and the ci.- government.
He stated that the teaching profession
is second 20 none in the State. The
life OF the teacher is the most unset
fish life in the community. AS preSi-
dent of the board of education in this
city. he stated that Fairmcat with
holds nothing which will contribute
10 the progress OF education among
lis young citizens He stated also
that Normal schools should drop
academic work and leave that to the
high schools. and that they should do
the work for which they are sustained.

Prof. Sha.v*ey Responds for Teachers
The visitors thanked the city for its
hearty welcome. which Mr.. Saawkey
said was never equalled anywhere
else He said that the hospitality OF
Fairmon1 once came near breaking
up the association. No other city
would follow after the hearty recep
ton which this city had given. FOL
they felt as though their Efforts &c

He is probably a member himselfr'

But why on earth should you think

1 peeped through the blind in my
turn, and. TO be sure. there was the
fellow with the blue chin and the white
teeth watching our windows, and ours
only, as he bawled.
And why?" cried Raffies. his eyes
dancing when told him. why should
they come sneaking back to us. Doesn't

I simply stared at Rallies. Instead of
deepening, his lines had vanished. He
looked years younger, mischievous and
merry and alert as l remembered him
of old I'm the breathless crisis of some
madcap escapade. He was holding up
his finger; he was stealing to the win

as though our side street were Scotland

all revelry, excitement and suspense.
