of teachers for an increase will come
up. The present levy is SO 1-2 cents
on the $1,000 cents for teachers

DEAF AND BLIND SCHOOL
state Institution is Doing Good Work
Under Direction of r. Cary
Montague. Supt.

r. Cary Montague, superintendent
Of the West Virginia School for the
Deaf and Blind. writing from Romney,
where the school Is lcated, tells Of
the school as follows:
The first object of the school is to
make an honest living, either with his
hands or his head, in spite of the han
dicap of deafness or blindness.
While here just as good care is
taken OF the children as they would
receive in their own homes. Their
railroad fare to and from home is
paid and. If necessary, a certain
amount of clothing is furnished each
child, which is paid for by the county
from which the child comes.
Constant religious and moral in
struction of a non-sectarian nature is
given, and every effort is made to i'm
press the pupils with the Importance
and uprightness in their daily lives.
Church-going for the blind pupils is
encouraged in every way possible,
though not made compulsory.
All deaf pupils who show anv abili-
ty to do so will be laugh to talk and
to read the lips. A course of instruc-
ton will be given to the blind pupils
which will prepare them for passing
the public school teachers examina-
tons for teaching in the public
schools.
We teach the following trades to
the deaf: Tailoring, printing. baking,
carpentering, shoe and harness MAX
ing, mattress making. and we hope by
another year to greatly increase the
efficiency of our shops and to add one
or two more industries to the blind
department Also by another year
we shall make the instruction in sew
ing much more thorough, including
embroidering, knitting and crochet
ting for both the blind and deaf girls.
The use of tobacco is positively for
hidden in this school, and pupils who
are so given to this habit, as to be
unable to break themselves, will have
to be sent home.
We are always glad to see and meet
the pupils parents. but they can not
be boarded at the school,
Training of the muscles will be
given to the pupils to develop their
strength and vigor of mind and body
Means for healthy and pleasant games
and exercises for the blind children
will be devised.
1t shall be our effort to give all pu-
pills such household duties as they
should perform in a well-regulated
home. The boys make their beds
sweep and scrub thir dormitories. and
clean the yards. and the girls wash
the dishes, set the tables, do the iron.
ing once a week, and We hope soon
to give regular instruction in cook

Pupils and other persons will con
fer favor upon me. and lasting
benefit upon any deaf or blind child
| whom they may know, by sending to
me the address of the parents of such
children, and by doing so at once. be-
cause our accommodations are limited

Kelly is representing the international

one of the two women whom PRESIDENT

them, and they are continually under

The devastation wrought by these

AGAIN COMMISSION
THWARTS RAILROAD.
Attempt to Put in Operation Advanced
Rates Meets With Suspension
Order From Washington.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The attempt of
about IA railroads operating between
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers to
resume advances in rates already con-
ttlemned from washing toii; was thwnrt-
cd today by a suspension order an.
nounced by the Interstate commerce
commission in what is known in the
Burnham Hanna Munger case of Kan
sGs City.
The suspension involves n long strug-
gle of jobbing interests in Missouri
river cities and affects an immense traf-
fic from the east. The ultimate deci-
sion will be Of vital Importance to not.
only the Immediate business involved
but as precedent to rate making.
/, The commission ordered lower class
rates from the Mississippi to the Mis-
souri, applicable on shipments moving
from points in the east. These lower
rates were to remain effective for two
years.
The railroads appealed to'thc courts
and when the supreme court of the
United States sustained the commission
the railroads put into effect the de-
creased rates. The litigation extended
over almost two. years and then with
the near expiration of tho period fixed
by the commission the roads gave no.
ticc of the contemplated restoration of
the rates which had been condemned.
