NORMAL SCHOOL
STUDENTS MANY
Prof. Bennett Talks in an En-
thusiastic Manner of His
State School.

Prof. c. j. c. Bennett, principal of
the State Normal School ut Fair
mont, was visitor at the Adamston
public schools Thursday and made an
address to the pupils on 1.-TWO West
Virginians," which was helpful and
entertaining. Prof. Bennett left in
the evening for Sutton where he will
deliver an address on THE School
and the Nation" before teachers
institute being held there.
While here Prof. Bennett spoke
very enthusiastically of the State
Normal School at Fairmont and said
that it is making exceptionally fine
progress this year. The enrolment
of the fall and winter terms has
been the largest in the whole forty
years of the schools history and in
dications are that at the beginning
of the spring term, March "a, the
record will again be broken.
The new law passed by the special
session of the legislature which makes
graduation diploma of the State
Normal schools equal to five yers'
certificate will be big help toward
filling the shortage of school teach
ers, Prof. Bennett believes, and will
also encourage teachers to take ad-
vantage of the states training facil-
iteies and better fit them for their
work. The new law does not repeal
the old law which provides that
normal school graduates holding d.
plomas and teaching successfully for
three years may procure renewal Of
their certificates so the advantage of
taking n course in the Normal schools
is big one for those who are teach
ers or intend to take up teaching.

BIG COLLEGE
viii Likely in the Very Near
Future be Established
at Bridgeport.

1t is stated that plans are soon to
be on foot to establish one of the
largest Baptist schools in the country
at Bridgeport. Many leading Bap-
lists are greatly dissatisfied with the
action of the board of trustees of
Broaddus Institute in accepting a
proposition to remove the school to
Philippi, and generally they contend
that that town is not a suitable To-
cation for the school owing to its in
accessibility.
There are many Baptist associa-
tons in this state which feel that the
denomination needs larger and bet
ter school and agitation began as
soon as the action of the board of
trustees was learned and there seems
every prospect OF its developing into
a state of mind among the Baptists
as will cause them to found great
Baptist institution at Bridgeport or
elsewhere in the state.
The charter of Broaddus specifies
that it shall be perpetuated here, but
what legal aspects that has have not
been determined

Sergeant-at-Arms Elects One
Of the Members of the House
WILL GET
BROADDUS SCHOOL
Board of Trustees Accepts the
Proposition of That Town
at Meeting Held Here.

Broaddus Institute will be moved
to Philippi contingent upon the sale
of the institute property here. This
was the decision of the board OF
trustees OF the school late Thursday
evening" after considering the ques.
ton all the afternoon. An officia
statement has been issued as follows
concerning the action of the board
which explains the position taken by
the board:
The board of trustees of Broaddus
Institute held session February 20
to consider propositions made by
Bridgeport and Phllippl Each prop
osition was considered item by item
by the board and the vote upon the
merits of the two propositions show
ed Philippl to be. the winner.
Bridgeport made splendid offer
of $4,000 in cash subscriptions, ac-
companfed by Mrs. Otto Barnes's Of
fer of 20 acres oil land and Miss Chat
tie Johnson's additional acre Gift
for an athletic field. Mrs. Barnes
further agreed to give 20 acres more
to be turned over to the school
when its necessities demanded an ex-
tension of its campus and grounds
There were several reservations Il,
connection with the forty acres, one
being that the ground should not be
turned over to the school, in fee sim
pie. until the Baptists should have
accepted 1t for educational purposes
for fifty years
The Philippi proposition was $50
900 cash subscription and a fee sim.
pie deed for forty acres comprising
that elevated plateau upon which was
fought the first battle OF the Civil
War. This was supplemented by a
statement that if any one of several
other sites should be desired, 1t would
be procured in n tract from 40 to 50
acres. and given in fee simple. The
Philippi committee also brought prop
osition Offering water and gas for n
term of years at reduced rates and
special prices were made on brick
for use in erecting buildings. There
was also proposition from the coun-
ty court assuming the construction OF
n macadam road to the proposed
building site. Philippi made its of
fer without any qualifications what.
ever. except that the school should
locate and in good filth erect build
ings on the site given.
The Bridgeport site has been look.
ed upon as very favorable by mem.
bers of the board and their friends
and had Philippi's proposition beer
any less liberal the Barnes site would
probably have been the choice of the
majority.
The board passed unanimously 4
resolution of appreciation of the fine
public spirit shown by the citizens OF
Bridgeport and for the generous of
fers of land made by Mrs. Jessie
Barnes and Miss chattie Johnson.

coLuMB1A's ACCURATE CLOCK.
A Timepiece Which Does Not Vary
More Than Six Seconds Year.
New York World.

New York w Orld-
In the observatory Of Columbia
University is one Of the most accurate
clocks in the world. It has run for
seven months with a mean error Of
only fifteen-thuosandths of second
and a maximum error Of thirty-thou-
sandths of a second per day. That
means that it does not vary more
than half a second month, or six
seconds year.
Compare this with the first pocket
timepiece, the "Animated Egg Of
Nuremburg,'' which required winding
twice day and varied an hour and
. half in the same time! Compare it
with some Of the highest-priced
watches manufactured today, which
often vary more than ten seconds a
week and you will have some idea of
measuring time. Yet even this accu-
2acy is surpassed by some famous
time-pieces, if the trade magazines
are to be believed. There have been
accounts in them of clocks that have
varied less than second in periods
as long as ten years.
The clock at the University Of Co.
lumbia is an astronomical clock. 1t
is surrounded by glass case in which
a partial vacuum is maintained, and
in order that the case may not be
opened or disturbed the winding is
done automatically by electricity. The
clock is set up in room especially
constructed to keep it free from jar
or vibration. The temperature and
barometric conditions are maintain
ed practically constant, and every
possible .precaution is taken to mini
lmize the errors of the running rate.
It is not generally appreciated that
clocks of the present style, although
used as far back as the twelfth cen
tury, and possibly earlier. were but
fair timekeepers until several CEN
Ituries later. In fact, it has only been
within the last few decades that real
Nv accurate clocks have been manu-
factured. Those which the astrono-
mers used in their observations at the
end of the fifteenth century were so
unreliable that modified forms Of the
Fater clocks Of the ancients were Of
