Unique System of Education Offered
AT The West Virginia C0lored Institute

above: 9TH" system OF education
of this institution is unique. All
students are required to take som.

students go to the industries each
morning during the school week and

literary department. in the morning
and to some Industry in the after
noon. BY this method the student
is enabled to secure a good English
education and at The same time learn
some useful trade or occupation. For
the first two or three years the
girls are required to take both cook
ing and sewing with the view to pre-
pairing them to become good house
Keepers. After that they may spec
ialiZe either in GresSmaking, cook
ing, or millinery. Boys take agri-
culture. printing. carpentry. black
smilhng. wheelwrighting, painting,
or brick masonry.
1t is with great degree of pride
that the State educational depart
ment views the spread OF the system
in vogue here though the northen
states previously have believed in
the strictly literary training Of the
Youths mind.
Now the cities that have stoou
first in the rank Of highest developed
schools, such as Boston, Cleveland,

and others, are rapidly adopting the
same system Of education that the

long used.

PRESIDENT TAFT'S
 CHANGES
What He Must do in Order to
 Secure a Reelection

(By Clyde H. Tavenner Special Wash
 ington Correspondent of the Farmer)
 Washington, Sept. 16.-Win Presi- dent Taft be nominated, and if he is, will he be reelected? This question confronts the country with increasing insistence and increasing importance, because upon the answer depends whether. the people are to continue in the grip of the trusts and consequent high prices.
 Just now political leaders are weigh ing this question in the light of the last election, the return of which are worth considering carefully. In 191p the Democrats carried 27 states, while 2 states now have a majority of Democrats in Congress In this con nection it is significant that although the Standpatters lost some eighty seats in the lower House the Pro- gressive Republicans doubled their representation. Nothing presents the situation so clearly as table show ing in detail the situation developed at the last election, with the electoral votes based on the new apportion- ment. In this list the states which were Republican and went Democratic last year are in capitals:

Although was a member of the Board of Trade Committee that advocated over twenty years ago certain, lines that trunk sewers should follow for the outlying district of our city, the cred it of planning said system and gen. eraI directions, is the work of Engi- neer Schofield. His sewer system has met all the requirements in the past, and will in the future if properly built and extended as he originally intended. It is well known that MT. Schofield was and is considered one of Connecticut's most eminent engi- neerS.
 Isn't it a trite saying gro speak well of the bridge that carries you safely over?" If this be true, what is the use of borrowing and anticipating trouble besides growing sick and feeble in pulse and spirit years in advance. Isn't it time enough when trouble is actually before us, and so evident that we cannot escape the same, to take proper steps to alleviate and eliminate the same?
 To stick to and stand by our pres ent ample sewer system will make for a much more contented commun- ity than the building of forty-five miles of inch sanitary sewer pipes in our streets, which will aggravate our people to such 8 pitch as to even- tually he the means of changing our r-esent ~~ps 9?tured community into : had nataTed community of profal- ity.

To. bring about hls election, there- fore, the president must recover sixty electoral votes carried by the Demo- crats last year, without losing any votes in the Progressive states which then stayed in the Republican col umn.
 Can he do it?
 Not counting his own states, there are only five States-all on the Allan tic seaboard-where he can expect to make any recovery Maine. Massa- chusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York. But there are nine states in the middle west where the revolt against the Payne Aldrich tariff, the sham trust policy, Ballingerism and Lorimerism menace the success of any standpat candidate. These are Washington, Orsgon, California, IlIin- ois, North Dakota Kansas, Wiscon- sin, Nebraska, and Iowa.
 In an effort to win these states back the president is going out On an- other trip of apology, similar to the one he made after he signed the out rageous Payne bill. Now he plans to apologize to the farmers for re- moving the protective duties from their products, while leaving the du- ties on the things they must buy. For six weeks he will invite the Progress sives West to forgive him for failing to keep his promise, and to repudiate those Representative who tried to do what they promised to do in the mat ter of knocking the top off the high prices. The last apology was follow ed by Progressive and Democratic gains. Will this one have like re- suit?
