ANNUAL
FOR INSTITUTES
Is a Valuable Publication Con-
tanning Much lnforma-
ton for Teachers.

Those who have received copy of
Prof. Miller's Institute Annual, con-
tanning the program for the Teach
ers Institute and the Reading Circle
Course, together with other interest
ing matters. are much pleased with
1t, and say without hesitancy that It
is the most complete and valuable
of any that has been issued by the
department of free schools.
The Annual contains 1870 pages.
each of which is either replete with
interesting matter OF an Instructive
nature or has one or more pictures
showing model school buildings,
scenery. plans for buildings, patriot-
ic scenes, etc.
In introducing the book, Prof.
Miller says: ~
IF 1t Is true that custom makes
law, then the issuing of an Institute
Annual from the Department of
Schools of West Virginia is almost a
legal requirement, for. such a publ
cation has been sent Iout from this
office for more than a quarter of a
century.
The scope of the Annual has been
broadened from time to time so as to
include various features relating to
our educational progress and 1t is
now recognized as very excellent
means of communicating with the
general public concerning school af-
fairs. tf.H fft
"The issue for this year contains
not only the usual outline of wor.i
for the County Institutes and the
Course of Study prescribed for the
Reading Circle. but also gems of lit
erature, quotations, music and some
ment of West Virginia and Of the
National Government. The directory
of the State Boards will be found
convenient for reference. as will also
the information relating to the vari-
GUS State departments.
THE subjects which I have aimed
to emphasize more especially this
time, are those of better school
architects and provisions for the
consolidation of schools. Reference
Is also made to the subjects of Dis
trict Supervision and School Libra
ries. both live questions in West yir-
ginia.
THE cuts and Illustrations show
ing improved school architecture
will. think, prove suggestive. The
aim has been to show plans of build
ings which may be utilized by such
notifications as shall be found nec-
essary according to location and the
amount of money to be expended.
AS will be seen, school house, of
even one room can be made to have
many attractive features"

Watch chiIdren,s Nerves.

Mothers should guard their children
from nervous exhaustion, a form o.
fatigue which often manifests itsel
after concentration on the part of the
child either in play or work Its
chief indications are languor, indiflor
ence, or irritability. Children should
not be allowed to do for any Length
of time work which requires much
concentration, and should be taught
how to relax. This is an easy thine
to accomplish and is of the utmost i'm
portance for children of a highly
strung nervous temperament.

DOUBLY RELATED TO ROYALTY.

General Count Roblant who has just been ap-
pointed to succeed General de Giorgas as head OF
the international gendarmerie IN Macedonia, is
the son of that old one-armsd General Count
Robilant who for many years represented
Italy ambassador Vienna. and who was
generally understood to be q natural son Of King
Charles Albert Of Sardinia, and a half-brother,
therefore, of the late King Victor Emmanuel.
This by means the only strain of royal
blood in the veins of the late Count Robflant and
of his son the commander Of the Mace
DOMAIN gendarmerie For the mother Of the late
Count Robilant, that is TO say. the favorite OF
King Charles Albert, herself daughter OF
Princess Antonio of Observation-Disclosures and
Of the Prussfan General and Ambassador Count
Louis WaIdburg. OF the now extinct Capustigale
branch Of that mediatized formerly petty
ereign German dynasty. The late General Count
RohiIant, who for short time Minister Of
Foreign Affairs Rome and died
eighteen years ago, was therefore the legitimate
grandson of a HOhenzolern princess and the il
legitimate of king. He possessed many
marked traits Of the House of Savoy in the mat
ter Of feature, manner and character lost his
at the battle OF Sovara when young
man. and eventually married a daughter of the
Austrian princely house Of CIary. at Adrtngen.
She still survives him and makes her home
