John Robert Johnson, Is years old,
charged with criminal assault, and Charles
Smurlow, charged with larceny, were
perhaps fatally burned in Kanawha coun-
ty Jail Monday night, when mattresses in
their small cell were set on fire by eiga-
rette stubs. They had been smoking and
were asleep when the fire started. Before
the cell could be unlocked both were
burned so badly that flesh dropped from
their limbs, and both inhaled the flames.

ONE OF our famous West Virginia
writers, our old friend George Summers,
declares that West Virginia will ratify the
proposed income tax amendment to the
Constitution. We doubt it. Senator
Elkins and Senator Scott will oppose it,
and that will settle it, for do they not hold
West Virginia in the hollow OF their
hands2
And does any sane person believe that
either OF our senatorial millionaires wants
TO pay tax on his income?

with flying machine.
Still, we are somehow dubious about
the general utility of flying machines.
We agree with Mr.. Dooley that in order
to fly in the proper manner the machine
will have to be constructed on the prin-
ciple of bird, and even then we wouldn't
trust ourself very high in one until we
had proof that it could lay an egg.

The devotional service on Wednesday
morning was conducted by Prof. Thos
C. Miller. The first topic Of the morning
Organizing the school," was ably dis
cussed by Prof. Burns. In practical
way the institute offered a number o.
helpful suggestions to the teacher in re-
gard to the beginning OF the school.
The fatal DIS - Dirt, Dust, Dampness.
Darkness-in regard to health were spok-
en- Of most interestingly by Prot. Miller.
The DIS are the cause Of contagious dis
eases, he declared.
In view of the large attendance Of
school officers, Prof. Miller took up sub
jects relative to their duties. To the ev-
ident pleasure and profit Of the school
officers present he most pertinently dis
cussed "The duties Of the Board of Ed
ucation," Consolidation, "The District
High School" and School Architecture. u
Prof. Miller next took up industrial ed
ucation for the white youth OF the State.
He stated that hundred times as much
had been done for the colored youth o.
the State as for the white.
Prof. Burns then made some most use
full suggestions on the one-room school
building.
Hon. H. L. Snyder, editor OF the Reg
lister, was then introduced. He made an
earnest appeal for every teacher to be
active to his responsibility on moral ques-
lions. In concluding, Mr.. Snyder intro
duced Hon. M. P. Shawkey, State Super
intendent OF Free Schools.
Mr.. Shawkey made a most pleasing
address, in which he advocated unanimity
of thought and effort among the teachers
saying that the school people ought to be
able to shape school legislation. He
urged continued efforts to improve ant
adorn school property; spoke of the inn
portance of properly teaching literature ir
the public schools; and with much earn
estness told of his aspirations to carry on
the cause OF education wisely and sue
cessfully and to be helpful to the cause
and to the teachers of the State. His ad-
dress was most favorably received.
Mr.. Miller again discussed agricultural
knowledge from the standpoint of finan'
cial gain.
A considerable number of business and
professional men attended the afternoon
session, and school officials from various
sections OF the county were present
During the day the discussions were In
terspersed with solos by Miss Chew ant
Miss WeShans.
Last night very enjoyable reception
was given by the local teachers to State
Superintendent Shawkey, the instructor:
and the teachers attending the institute
The evening was one of great pleasure
and gave happy opportunity for mutua
acquaintance. Solos were sung by Miss
es WelShans and Link. Delicious refresh
ments were served during the evening.
