To call Mr.. Roosevelt democrat
is very serious missioner. He
has not even Il distant relationship
TO democracy. He is 4 republican
intus ct incute, but he is one who de-
lights TO dictate the policies of that
party. To accept him as its candi-
date would be to violate the tradi-
tionS OF the country in refusing a
third term To any man, since he Is
now practically serving his second.
But why consider such a suggeS-

ROOSEVELT A DEMOCRAT?

1t is little surprising to find the
Charlottesville Progress urging
that the democrats make no nomi-
nation for the presidency in 1908,
but give their support to Theodore
Roosevelt. The democratic party
once nominated Horace Greedy,
on 90 the most noted republicans
IA the country, in opposition to L..

wi" dird OF broken heart at the

BUILDING A TOWN.

Are we satisfied with this town
as it isl
Do any of US feel that it is as
big, as strong, as rich, as populous
and as prosperous as we care to
have itl
Do we want our town to grow
If we do, how do we expect it to
grow and who do we expect to
make it grow
The crying need of this town is
more houses. The COURIER can
rent four houses Immediately, and
more, probably, to people who are
now in need of place to move.
Their present abodes have been
leased to other tenants, and they
must move. If nothing is done for
them, they will move away from
Berryville.
DO you want people to move
away from your town because
there are no vacant housesl
There is enough idle money in
the local banks to build goodly
number of small houses. There is
a local building and loan association
which, presumably, should make
specially of building small houses
for those who are unable to pay an
all-cash price.
Will some of the philosophical
men of this town build some houses
and offer them !or rcr.2
If not, we will agree to join with
any interested persons and adver-
ties in the city papers for some
capitalists To come here and do
these things. The COURIER will
be glad to pay its share of the
expense.

THIRTY EIGHT YEARS.

With this issue the COURIER
starts off ON ITS Tmrty-Ninth
Volume.
For thirty-eight years the CoU-
RIGR has received the patronage of
the people of Clarke county. and
we shall continue our efforts 10
Justify that confidence.
A weekly newspaper is essen
tally made up of local and miscel-
laneous news ard local advertising.
The weekly paper cannot at any
point compete with the city dailies
which are placed in our hands in
the early morning and late after
noon, for the reason that their
newsgathering facilities and equip
ment are SO vastly superior to our
own.
The weekly newspaper depends
almost entirely upon local patron
age for It's support, and we wish to
thank our many friends for the
very generous support given us in
the past. Our subscription list is
larger than ever before, but our
advertising patronage from home
enterprises has not kept up with
the other average.
In our efforts to convince our
town and county people that it is
better at all times to spend your
money at home than elsewhere. we
have begun the publication of a
series of home advertising specials
on our first page. These adver-
tlsements cost us considerable
money, but we will think it we'll
spent if it receives the serious at
tention for which we hope.
You live here; your business and
social life is here.

elsewhere for things which can be

Summer School at University of Virginia

1t Is encouraging to learn that
the Summer School of the Univer-
sity of Virginia is to be greatly
strengthened and improved next
summer. The purpose is To leave
the work of training lower grade
teachers largely to the District
Summer Schools and to direc; the
training at the University towards
the needs of the following classes:
First, those first grade teachers
who have already attended the
District Summer Schools: second.
those teachers in high schools and
acadmies who wish to review and
advance their knowledge Of specia
subjects; third, those principals and
superintendent of schools who
wish to acqualnt themselves with
the most practical and acceptable
methods of school administration:
fourth, those college students who
are not willing TO waste three and a
half months of time during the
vacation, but who would come
from all Southern institutions 10
continue their studies if such OBJ
portunity should be offered. There
will also be offered, upon demand,
certain advanced coarses for col
lege professors.
To illustrate the need for Just
this form Of work at the University
Summer School, the work of the
high school may be cited. There
are probably 1000 high school
teachers in Virginia who heretofore
were forced to go to Chicago.
Columbia, or Harvard Universities
to do summer work. The courses
offered next summer at the Univer-
sity of Virginia will include every
subjects from a faculty equal to
that of the Summer Schools of the
best American Universities.
The success Of the Summer
School under the new regime is
guaranteed because of the forces
behind it. The University faculty
and authorities and the State De-
partment of Education are united
to assure its efficient organization
and success.
Inasmuch as the Knoxville Sum
mer school is announced to have no
session and because the tecahers of
the South and West will visit the
jamestown Exposition. the Univer-
sity Summer School will probably
enroll a large number Of students.

BerryVilIe High School ACCTedited

Prof. ii. ID. Wolf. of the Berry
vile High School, last week re-
ccived letter from Prof. Bruce
Il. Payne, of the University of
Virginia. conveying tue informa-
ton hattie Berryvillc High School
had been placed upon the list of
accredited schools of the Univer-
sity.
This means that hereafter pupils
of the Berryville High School who
may desire to attend the Universe
ty of Virginia will only have to
present their High School certiti-
Gates in order To be admitted to the
classes at the University, and will
not be forced to take the entrance
examination which has been neces-
sary heretofore.
Under the extremely able leader
ship and instruction of Professor
Wolff, the Berryville High School
has forged rapidly to the front,
and the patrons and friends of the
School hope there will be no back
ward step.
Our public schools mean too
much to our community to let them
go back because of lack of support.
If more teachers and better
service cannot be given with the
present school tax, let the amount
be increased until it is sufficient,
and no one will complain.
