The Huntington Advertiser Is proud
Of Marshall College as well It should
be. IT speaks Of the plan to make 1t
laIrsal; Normal School as follows
\ .Thel reorganization OF the Marshall
college faculty and the establish.
slment of regular pro,essorshlps at
\ that institution, by the Board Of
/ Regents at Its meeting ut Clarksburg
last week, is of unusual significance
las toithe future Of the institution, and
should bring It's friends 10 a realIza.
ton. Of the fact that We have in our
own community a school that bids fair
10 become a formidable rival Of the
West Virginia University.
For the first time in the history of
Marshall college, regular professor
ships have, been established and the
head Of these departments will hereai.
iter3be designated as professor Of Lat.
In, ior Of Greek or Of mathematics, as
The case may, be.
1.-THE salaries Of the heads OF the
departments have now been made larg.
er than any before paid, below the
prlncipalship, aud assistants in each
7 q g j
department, have been employed TO CO.
operate with the heads Of the depart.
sments, IN giving instruction in that
particular department.
sThe very best teachers that could
be had for tho money paid, have been
i employed, and, under the rule Of the
board, no teacher having a degree
Of less than a. D. from some reputa.
bile college considered for any position.
The spirit and qualification Of the
teachers employed at Marshall Is il.
Illustrated by the fact that practical,
ny all Of them will attend during the
summer, the special sessions Of Chi.
cago University, Columbia University,
isWestVlrginia University, Harvard and
Sother great educational institutions
for the purpose OF pursuing their stud.
lies in the particular subjects they are
4 expected TO teach.
sThe training department and mod.
el school Of Marshall college will for
the ensuing year be the best organic.
ed and most complete IN its history.
All, Or practically. all, OF the eight
grades corresponding to the work Of
Aths public schools be carried on under
competent direction, and special op.
portunity will be afforded for training
teachers in their professional work.
Thus making OF the school what the
law intended 1t should be, the real
Normal school"
When the people Of this community
come to q realization Of the fact that
the Fairmont Normal Is placed on ex.
I actly. the same footing as Marshall
y college as TO the establishment OF de.
partments and the selection Of the
most competent people to be found for
the various professorships, they will
undoubtedly see that the future OF the
school was never SO bright as at the
present time. In addition to the
strong list Of teachers already named,
three more will be selected as soon
as the Board can find suitable persons
for the positions. II the people Of
Fairmont will rally to the support OF
the local Normal School with the same
spirit Of loyalty which Is manifest at
Huntington, the Falrmont State Nor.
NAL School will soon take It's rIghtiul
place as one OF the greatest teachers
schools in the country. Nothing but
the best Is good enough for a school
with such possibilities for usefulness
IN training teachers as has The Fair;
