CITY SCHOOLS
ARE DISCUSSED
AT Morning Session of One
Department of Educa-
tors Meeting.


The city superintendent section
of the West Virginia Educational
Association held session in the
Baptist church Friday forenoon
with George NJ. Ford, OF Bluefeld,
presiding.
Medical Inspection" was the first
topic under consideration. g. R.
Murray read a practical paper on the
nature and aims of 1t In the schools
and gave several reasons for and
against its Introduction. He advo-
Gated 1t strongly and gave. as an IL
lustration that 100000 children in
New York City failed to pass be-
cause of defects of the eye and hear
ing and because of i'll health.
Superintendent H. b. Work, of
Wheeling, suggested the idea OF mis-
slonary work on the part of the med
ical fraternity, such as free examin-
ations based on knowledge the. teach
er has of the children and told his
auditors that hospitals are Offering
free rooms for patients operated OH.
F. L. ,Burdette, superintendent
of the schools here, brought out the
point that medical men sometimes
bring about confusion in diagnosis,
especially in matters the community
does not want to hear about or be-
lieve.
Mr.. Alexander, of the firm OF Al
exander & Chaplin, architects. Of
Wheeling, talked about the essential
features OF good school house, de-
scribing some modern structures and
advanced the idea that county and
city superintcndents should. have n
knowledge OF architecture and that
contracts should be awarded through
their familiarity rather than through
competition.
Prof. P. G. McBee discussed heat
ing and ventilation. A practical
point brought out by him was that
the boilers and other apparatus
should be placed outside OF the
building to avoid accidents. such as
explosions and to reduce the noise
and friction.
Outside Features of the School
House" was the subject of paper
by R. Moore Dodrill, which he
handled in a practical manner. ana u
discussion in general along this line
followed.
City Superintendent 'Burdette sug-
gcsted that the schools of the state
should take steps to guard against
the organization of fraternal socl-
cites, in the high schools. owing to
immature judgment.
George S. Laidley. of Chrleston,
was selected chairman. and George

SKILL IN CONTROVERSY.

Vine her Cook beat Peary to the pole
there can be little doubt that in the
controversial game he has the rival ex-
plOrer distsnced. his generalship has
been as brilliant as Peary's has been
laundering. From the initial round,
when Peary denounced him and Cook
returned with bis ''glOry enough for
all'' retOrt, the doctor has had all the
advantage Of the man who keeps bis
temper. But his latest move is a mas
terpiece Of strategy.
Instead of becoming angry over the
"gOld brick" accusation he places him
self IN the light Of apOlOgizing for
Peary, Of explaining how natural it was
that Peary should think him a faker.
he recalls having pledged Whitney and
the Eskimo to silence on his success,
and infers that Peary has thus been
misIed. He absOlves his rival for TAX
ing his stores for the same reason that
ne had purpOsely created the impress
sion Peary obtained. But while he is
thus explaining and apOIOgizing for
Peary he is, with the skill of a chess
expert, depriving his opponent OF what
seems to be his main evidence and null
flying it In advance, since if the stories
Peary heard from Whitney and the Es-
KINDS were deliberately misleading
through Cooks own orders the charge
based upon those stories must collapse.
