That clarksburg is growing more
rapidly than Wheeling is shown by
"a report of school enumerators just
made to the board of education Of
the metropolis Of the state, which
records decrease of 272 in the
school population over last year.
The last enumeration of the. pupils
in clarksburg schools showed an in
crease of more than 400 pupils over
last year. If these records are kept
up at the same rate, It will not be
very long until clarksburg shall
wrest the title OF supremacy from
Wheeling.

reasons for Noe.4astruetlng

1t was common talk that the rea-
son the Democratic machine fought
80 hard against instructing any OF
the delegations selected at the Dem
ocratic district conventions in this
county Thursday afternoon was that
the machine wanted to be in position
to barter, trade and sell the dele
gates at the conventions to further
the machines manipulation of party
affairs. The. machine won in the
main and now 1t is in position to
hand the goods over to those who
offer the highest prices and give the
best terms.
Democrats opposed to machine
manipulations of their party de-
nounced the machine and it is evident
that they went to the conventions
fully advised of the purposes of the
machine. In. this connection, lead
ing Democratic newspaper, opposed
to the, machine, comments as follows
on the barter, trade and sell plan
in the state that showed itself SO
plainly and brazenly in this county

The relative mathematical iablli.
ties Of boys and girls and Of the
white race as compared with the
black are among the subjects taken
up In monograph Just issued for
free distribution BY the United
States Bureau of Education. I; The
riohograph identified Mathematics
in the Public and Private Secondary
Schools Of the United states, and
considers the ability Of boys and
girls as shown In the type of school
indicated by the title.
1T seems to be the genrai .opin-
ion that the average boy shows more
ability in mathematics than the aY-
erage gin. but,also that he does not
work SO faithfully, says the mon
ograph. 'tIn a mixed class this
greater ability of the boy and the
greater faithfulness Of the girl react
most advantageouslys on each other.
d Another tact that Is noted IS
this: In elementary algebra the girl
does as good work as the boy: in
geometry not nearly so good. IN adj
yanced algebra and trigonometry,
the boy shows an ability which is
far ahead 81 the girl, Yet, we are
free to confess that his greater ma
tural ability is often outclassed by
the steady. patient endeayor Of the
girl. Perhaps it would be safer to-
say that the girl does not show as
great an ability as the boy, even
though she may have 1t.
I'm regard to the relative tend
ency of boys and girls to choose
elective courses in mathematics the
answers to a QUESTIONABLE indicate
that boys are much more inclined to
elect such courses than girls are.
In investigating the relative math-
ematical ability of the colored race,
a QUESTIONABLE was sent to eleven
well known negro schools and col
leges in the South.
1.-THE general feeling in the insti-
buttons covered by this report, +"
says the government monograph,
"is that the difference between the
races in the matter of mathematics,
is SO far as any differences exist, are
due to conditions rather than to
race characteristics.
Five of the schools feel that
there is no difference due to trace.
Two are Of the opinion that colored
students generally are not the equals
of white students. one school was
not able to make any comparison.
Three did not reply to the question
comparison of the races.
Replies were made by both white
and colored teachers who have had
years of experience in colored
schools and in some cases in white
schools"

beneficial to Farmers.

Frank Parker Stockbridge in the
Worlds Work for June, makes a
strong plea, for the immediate estab-
lishment of the parcels post. The
principal ground on which he bases
his plea is the advantage of the sys-
tenn to the country dweller. Here is
q typical instance:
Y J.iH. Hale, of South Glastonbury,
Comm. is known throughout the
country as the Peach King" Ru-
raj free delivery wagons run from
Hartford past his house, ~ have a
farm on the other side of the state,
beyond New Haven, possibly forty
miles from my own home" said Mr..
Hale. There was a.Httle 'imple-
1nent I wanted the other day from
the other farm, so called up the
superintendent on the telephone and
told him to send it by mail. He
could not do SO because it weighed
i've pounds so he had to hitch up
horse, drive three miles to the ex-
press Office, pay twenty-five cents to
bring it to an express office two and
half miles from my own home,
with the Connecticut river rolling
between. 1had to hitch up horse
and drive two and half miles in
each direction, pay thirty cents for
ferriage across the river, and it cost
me in all more than a dollar to get
that small part, to say nothing OF
the great Inconvenience both to my
superintendent and myself"

thus manipulate Q delegation which
Is Instructed 70 carr out the VIA Of
the people
WHO are asking tor an nnir rneted
delegation from this state 81 from
any state for that matter. They
are not good democrats and have
some Interior motive IN wanting q
delegation nnpiedged to any candi-
daey or to any definite policy
There e not e. single valid aTguc
ment IN favor Of sending an un-
pledged delegation to Baltimore.
The adYoeates Of an. unpledged dele
CATION contend that the DEMOCRATS
should be guided in the; adoption Of
their platform and in the selection
sof their candidate for president bg
the action. Of the Republican CON
vention, or that NO Democratic del
egate should be committed to any
principle or any candidate until the
Republicans shall have adopted a
campaign program and placed their
candidates in the field.
If the Democratic party is party
of principles and well-deaned gov
ernmentai policies why should It, be-
fore selecting its leader or standard
bearer, wait to see what the Repdb-
lican party or any other party may
do? Why not nominate its best man
regardless. Of what any other party
may do? If IT has principles worth
fighting for why not fight for them2
Some so-ealled Democrats say that
II the Republicans in the present
campaign nominate Taft the Demo.
Gratis should nominate SO and SO, but
Y the Republicans nominate Roose-
welt the Democrats should nominate
man entirely different from the
one that should oppose TAFT. Those
fellows who advocate a course OF
policy of that kind want victory
at any cost. They care nothing for
principles. All in the world they
are after are the loaves and fishes.
A political party that will adopt
any such policy as is suggested BY
that kind of men is unworthy Of
the support of honest, patriotic cit
liens. There is only one honorable
method for a political party to pur-
sue in the selection of its nominees
for the public Offices, and that is to
name It's ablesI and most honest
men, and men who have the re-
spect and confidence Of the people
and WHO are in thorough accord
with the principles Of the party.
And in following that plan 1T is not
necessary, before making nomtna-
lions, to wait to see what some
opposition party is going to do.
There is no question that prac-
tically all West Virginia Democrats
by this time know whom they want
for the nominee of their party,
And If the majority of them want
Wilson, the delegation from this
state to the national convention
should be instructed for Wilson. III
they want Clark, the delegation
should be instructed for CLARK, and
If they want Harmon, the delegation
should be instructed for Harmon.
Every honest Democrat should
fight for an instructed delegation
a delegation that can not be used. by
the bosses for trading purposes III
were better to instruct the delegates
at the time of their election than to
have the bosses instruct them at
