UNIVERSITY IS
GIVEN PRAISE
PRESIDENT OF THE INSTITUTION
HAS HIS WHOLE SOUL IN
THE WORK
NO PREPARATORY STUDENTS
Four Young Men Take the competi-
tive Examination For Appointment
the Rhodes Scholarships From
West Virginia

Never in the history of it's existence
has this institution had a brighter
future before it. The president fully
appreciates the responsibility that
rests upon him, and he has thrown
his whole soul into the work. He has
the hearty cooperation of the entire
faculty, as well as of the people of
the whole state He Is broad-minded
and not willing to see one department
of the school built up at the expense
Of the other; but the thing that should
please the farmers most is the fact
that the president believes that there
Is no department In the institution
that is of more vital Importance to
the state than the Department of Agri-
culture. 1t may be said of him that
he loves not the other departments
less, but this one the more. Had
this view of agriculture been taken
twenty years ago, how much better
it would have been for the material
interests of the state. And ] know OF
no people who are to blame for II
more than the farmers. We have sim
ply been inactive and uninterested In
the things that not only meant more
to us than anything else, but more to
the people of the state. The West
Virginia College Of Agriculture and
Experiment Station are in a more
healthy condition than they have ever
been. The Board of Regents has given
to the Dean and Director corps OF
very valuable and efficient assistants,
During the past year not single com
plant has come to me that letters OF
inquiry written by farmers were not
answered promptly. These professors
are not only willing to answer all in
Quiries from farmers promptly, but
they are anxious that farmers should
write to them for help. This institu-
ton is ours and the president and
entire faculty are our servants, and
we should not hesitate to call upon
them to help us.
The Short Course.
Il have letter from young farmer
who says he Is forty years old and
asks whether 1t will pay him to attend
the short course at Morgantown the
coming winter. He may be a little
too young to get the most out of
course of that kind. but yet I would
not hesitate to say that 1t will pay
him a hundred-fold. The writer was
of more mature years when he left
his farm two winters to attend this
short course, but he has always felt
that he never made an investment
that paid half so well-not that the
learned so much. but that he found out
that there was so much he did not
know that he should know. No farmer
who expects to manage his farm five
years longer can afford not to take
in at least one of these short courses.
West Virginia ought to have a thou
sand farmers in this school next
winter"

SCHOOL MONEY APPORTIONED.
Forty Cents Per Capita is Distributed
Among Schools-Of Great Benefit
TO Rural Schools Particularly.

County Superintendent of Education
E. H. Aull has apportioned to the
schools of the county 40 cents per cap
ita, according to the enrolment for the
year 1911-12. This is the balance OF
the unapportioned three-mill tax,
and will be of great benefit to the ru-
raj schools, particularly. The amount
apportioned to each school is being
mailed out this week, so that the trus-
tees may know just what balance they
are carrying over, and be able in tnis
way to arrange the length of the term
and pay the teachers. The regular ap-
portionment which will be made from
the tax to be collected this year will
probably amount to about $3.50 per
pupil, exclusive of the poll tax and the
dog tax. The enrolment in some of
the schools is less than it was the
year before, while in others there has
been a slight increase, but there WIS
during the past year very little, # any,
increase in the total enrolment in tie
schools of the county.

Card From Mr.. H. T. Renwick.

Editor The Herald and News: Will
you please print the following card:
l notice from the newspapers that
Gov. Blease makes the following state
ment in his speech at Newberry on the
18th inst:
81 am going to prove to you that
Hugh Renwick, step-son of Ira B.
Jones sister, told a lie," said Blease.
Renwick, he asserted, had charged him
with sending to Oklahoma "to bring
back for trial the man who killed Lu-
ther Boozer's son. a brother-in-law of
the man wanted.
The governors statement is abso-
lutely false and without foundation
l have never charged the governor
with anything concerning the Boozer
matter. While in Newberry about two
weeks ago, l heard Mr.. Luther Booz-
er make certain statements publicly
on the streets about the matter refer
red to by the governor. In conversa-
ton with several friends l repeated
some of the statements made by Mr..
Boozer. This is all there is to the
matter.
am more than willing to leave the
matter to the fair-minded public as
to who lied, the governor or l.
The governor is seeing spooks and
rightly so for his political doom is
near H. T. Renwick.

"Thou hast all seasons fo' tine own,

On thy lowly couch OF r5st,

Where our sainted loved one sleeps.
