Not a Question Of Politics.

While the lnteligencer has no SYM
pathy whatever with the attack upon
the Shepherdstown, Chenille, Concord
and West Liberty schools, 1t must de.
plore the attempt TO make political
capital out Of It. The Hon. John J :.
Cornwell, who has taken a particularly
jaundlced view Of life since one sad
day in November, 1901, issues a wall
in the Hampshire Review in which he
attributes this and various other
troubles to the Republican Machine"
The Hon. R. F. Kidd, OF Gilmer, with
whom It has not often been. the Intelll.
gencer's good fortune TO be allied, also
sees a deep. dark and Infamous polIti.
cal conspiracy in the action Of the
board. ~,
If the Intelligencer may be pardoned
for little plain speaking, II would
say to the representatives in the Leg.
islatare from the counties OF Gilmer,
Jefferson and Mercer, that Il they had
more earnestly supported proper meas.
ures for raising revenue, instead Of
consistently laboring at oil times TO
defeat such measures. the principal
excuse for the effort 10 reduce the
standard Of the normals, would not
now exist. GieHvilic, for Instance,
cannot very well expect to secure
n dormltory for the normal so long
MS the members Of the Legislature
from Chenille section deliberately
and malicionsly oppose all revcnc,.
raising measures. But this is aside.
The real question is not a political
one. It is simply question OF the
benefits which The State gets from the
money 1t spenis.-Wheelins Intelli.

THEPEOPLE'SFORUM
What Is a Normal School?


To the Editor of the West vlrglnian:
Sir:-I have read with much inter.
est the discussion preclpltated by the
recent action Of the Board of Regents
Of the State Normal Schools. One
! would scarcely believe that such a
fnrore would he raised because Of the
effort OF the BOARD TO provide proper
training for the teachers Of the State.
The time was, thirty or forty years
asO, when schools Of grade higher
than The ordinary country schools
were few and far between. To provide
schools OF a higher grade with the
llinlted means at It's command, the
State very wisely authorized and main.
taincd schools in different sections
Of the State, which, by courtesy, were
known as Normal schools. Il appears
the Board decided that the time has
arrived when we must have n Normal
school, In fact, not theory.
This gives rise to the question.
What Is n Normal SCHOOL," The
accepted answer is "a Training School
for Teachers" Are the alleged Nor.
nal schools In this State schools Of
that character. 1t must be conceded
they are not. What, then. Is the duty
Of the Board? Undoubtedly 10 pro.
vide normal training for the future
teachers Of the State.
Lit us take the Fairmont school,
for example. Are the graduates Of
that school very much better qualified
FOR the duties OF teacher than the
graduates Of tbs. FairmrEt, Cfarksbnrs.
Grafton or Warrington high schools?
Unfortunately We must answer, they
are not. Is 1t not high time that
there should lie change In the char.
actr: of our alleged normal schools
High schools are springing up all over
the State. They are Supported by the
local authorities. The alleged Nor.
nal schools are supported by the
State. Is It fair for the State TO sup.
port school ut Shepherdstown. while
Martin burg supports school OF
equally high grade at It's own expense?
Every candid friend OF education
must agree that II is not. There must
be n remedy for this condition OF af.
fairs. Il looks TO me as II the Board
Is applying the proper remedy.
The term, normal training" I'M.
plies preparation for the profession
Of teaching. In order to provide this
training, there must be pupils to be
taught by the students in the normal
schtOls. This is the accepted rale in
all normal schools throughout the
world. How Is normal training to be
provided at West Liberty or Glen.
siderable size In order to provide sub.
.ects are not there, neither are the
boys and girls Of more mature years
available. Normal schools must nee.
essarily be located In towns OF con.
siderable size in order 10 provide usb.
iccts with which to train teachers.
The fact Is, the alleged normal
schools outside Of Falrmont and Hunt.
ington are nothing more than academ.
les or high schools. 1t is a travesty
TO graduate student from either Of
those schools and grant him a diploma
to the effect that he has had proper
training. It was to cure this difficult,
" that the Board adopted the resolu'
ton that has aroused the animoslty OF
the communities favored by the State
with nigh schools or academies at the
expense Of the State. The resolution
merely provides that students must

 Mir Gang is well up in the fifties, but is ruddy and sturdy as a man ten wears tlls junior. His bride is a beautiful. fair-haired. young woman of scarcely more than half the age of Mir. Gang, and has a large circle of friends in the city.
 Three years ago, when Mir. Gang was spending the summer at Coro- nado. be met Miss Bryson. His friends say 1t was love at first sight. He sought after the golden-haired young lady assidiously, and despite his handicap of considerable years, final ly won her attention. The courtship proceeded with leaps and bounds, and
