TRAINING SCHOOL NOTES.

The work of the fourth quarter is
we'll under way and the attendance is
excellent. Practice teaching is crowd
ing because of the early closing of the
city schools.
The annual visitation of mannfaetur-
ing establishments has been resumed
The McEachron flour mill WAS the first
one visited On Saturday morning,
April 9th, a party of thirty on more
went to Brokaw on the ''scootn TO visit
the paper mill, and returned on the
1910 passenger train. A pleasant fea-
ture OF these visits is the uniform
courtesy and kindness shown us by the
proprietors and their employees.
Prin. C. O. Marsh, of the Langlade
Co. training school visited us Friday
afternoon and saw the literary society
at its regular work. He expressed him
self as much pleased with the freedom
self-possession and vim of the partici-
pants He says that teaching in the
training school is especially pleasing
because the pupils come with a definite
purpose which they persistentIy pursue
through the entire year.
Miss Lorinda Zimmerman 05, having
completed her years teaching, entered
the training school yesterday to do
advanced work in mathematics and
literature. There are several students
of last year who ought to return now
and complete the course. 1t is not
becoming TO attempt to teach by the
favor or sutferance of the county super
intendent.
Are the alumni looking forward with
interest TO the next annual meeting,
which is not far distant? 1t should be
an occasion of unusual interest and
profit. The total number of graduates
this summer will just about equal the
whole number of teachers required Ia
the county. Some are no longer teach
ing; others are teaching in other
counties or states So far as we know 81
taught in the county last year and
twelve elsewhere The county superiu-
tendent testihes to their success He
also says the time is near at hand when
only teachers with professional train
ing can hope to teach in the county.
What will you do to strengthen your
position and increase your power for
good? In union is strength? DO You
believe in this annual meeting? viii
you attend it? What are you willing
to do to make it a success? Write to
Mr.. Wells your opinions on this subject
for publication in this column. Let us
hear from you promptly, without wait
ing for anyone else.

as the fruit ripens, the orchard will be
closed to visitors except by permission

WORK UNDER WAY.

Last Saturday evening, the officers
and executive board of the Civic I'M
provement league met at the home of
Chas. Turner and discussed various
matters of interest 1t was decided to
make an effort to have certain places in
our city, that were far from beautiful,
made beautiful, and committees were
appointed to look after the work
1t was decided to take some alley in
the city, (the particular one to be
selected by the committee appointed in
charge) to see what can be done in beau
tifying it have picture of it taken as
it is now and another in the fall. The
intention is to demonstrate to our citi-
zens what can be done in identifying
ones premises. DR.. b. H. Conlin was
placed at The head of committee to
look after this work.
The matter of giving away flower and
other seeds, free, on certain days, was
considered and it was left with G. f.
Turner, to ascertain what could be
done in securing seeds.
Mr. Turner is considering the idea of
hiring piece of ground, we'll adapted
for raising flowers and garden truck,
and parceling it out to boys who have a
liking for gardening, and stimulate
them to good work by offering prizes
for best results.
The matter of membership was talked
over and it was the unanimous opinion
that instead of having only 100 mem
bers, the association should number at
least 800. The tax is only $l.00 a year
and that will be spent in making the
city more beautiful. Plans are being
perfected and everyone will have q
chance to add their name to the list
before long.
Cleaning up days of our city, the days
on which the city will haul away all
refuse, free of charge, are the 10th and
18th days of May. 1t was the wish of
the league that every person exert him.
self to see that his premises are cleaned
up on those days. Don't fail, as this
means much towards the improvement
of the looks of our city

Only n Dumping Ground.

One of the hotels of the city call
ed up the mayor Saturday for in
structions about what disposition to
make of Its garbage under t he pres
ent manner of running the crema-
tory. According to this hotel. the
mayor told the management of the
hotel TO haul It out to the crema-
tory property and dump it.
That is new conception of the
purpose of crematory. 1t was To-
Gated over the strong protest of the
people in the neighborhood, and now
1t is adding Insult to injury by max
ing IT common dumping ground six
days in the week and only an active
crematory one day in the week.
What greater outrage could be

And as to the advice given by the

of such advice on the mayors part.
The garbage question is one that

capital city of the State should bring
West virginia's fair name into such
bad repute as the following sent out
from Charleston to the newspapers
shows:
Charleston is wide open. A man
can get in on anything from game
OF poker to roulette. On Capital
street there are dozen places where
the games are in operation from the
dawn OF day until dawn OF the next.

Those Sour Grapes.

The removal OF the capital to
Clarksburg and making Clarksburg
the capital OF the State is no new or
recent policy with the Telegram. II
has advocated that for years. and
this paper is surprised that the
Charleston papers never knew this
until recently. But even more sur
prised are We that those same pa
pers. processing the dignity they do.
should indulge in personalities
against any one connected with the
Telegram. as our discussion of the
question has been entirely void OF
even the mere suggestion of person
ality.
The kilograms fight for the capt.
tol is not personal at all. It sincere
~ believes and has SO believed many
years that 1t would be better for the
State as whole. II the capitol were
here, and that is our contention still.
The Charleston papers appear to con-
tess that they have no argument to
advance in support of the capital
remaining at Charleston. when they
attempt to eclipse the issue with bit
ter personalities, which have moth
ing whatsoever to do with the ques-
ton. AS the Telegram understands
two newspapers there have failed to
command that prestige they sought
and realizing their failure are now
eating sour grapes. and taking even
the very slightest occasion to find
fault with the state government and
all connected with it. They are SO
sorely disappointed over their lack
of influence with the people tina,
they really have become so desperate
as to forget all decency.
Their personal attacks are so low
mean and contemplate that the Tele.
gram does not feel like giving them
the dignity OF further notice. and
hopes this may be ample to persuade
them that the question involved be
the one to be discussed.
