Superintendent of Schools Is
sues Special Number for
the Centenary.

The West Virginia department of
schools has issued a special number
of Its publication, which is devoted to
the Lincoln centenary February ~.
and other 1909 anniversaries. The
edition was prepared by Thomas c.
Miller, state superintendent OF free
schools. In Introductory remarks Mr..
Miller says:
While this pamphlet is issued
with special reference to the celebra-
ton OF the hundredth anniversary Of
Lincoln's birth, in the schools of West
Virginia, / have included in 1t some
brief sketches and references to 9th
er of the worlds benefactors whose
centenary also occurs this year. IT
lis noticeable that number of those
who have been leaders of thought and
action were born in 1903. In this list
appear the names of Lincoln, Glad
stone, Darwin. Tennyson. Holiness
Poe, Chopin, Mendelssohn. all Of
whom In one way or other have add
ed to the record OF great achievements
OF course we will give prominence to
the celebration OF Lincoln's birthday
on February ~, but will not be out OF
place. as other birthdays occur within
the year, to note the life and charac-
ter OF these men who have contrib
uted to the art. the science. the his
tory, and the literature OF the world.
In addition to those whose hundredth
anniversary occurs this year, some
other noted Americans whose birth
days occur IN February. are included
in the list, as Washington. Longfellow,
and james Russell Lowell If, as has
been said, the way to learn
the history of the world-is by read
ing the biographies of great men. our
schools certainly have an excellent
opportunity this year for studying
the life and character of some os the
worlds most eminent men.
This is the last publication that
will be issued from this department
under my administration, and l am

than that, it is fraud and delu-
sion, putting every office of import
ance up to the highest bidder; it
forces men of real merit and worth
into the back ground, for their self

coming candidates; it has destroyed
party and made a mockery of the
elective franchise; there is no more

The discussion relative to the use
of benzoate of soda as a preserva-

ingly warm between Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson and State Food
and Dairy Commissioner Emery of
this state, leads naturally to the in
quiry: If the food, be it fruit or
vegetables is fresh and wholesome,
it does not need any preservative
and if it is in a decayed and un-
wholesome condition it is not fit for
food, Remsen and all the other
experts of the agricultural depart
ment to the contrary notwithstand-
ing Prof. Emery is right in his
contention and it is morally certain
that benzoate of soda will have to
go as food preventative in Wis
cOnSin.
