great masses of the people
can have no hope of relief
from the heavier growing
burdens from Taft and the
opoly-controlled Repub-
llcan party, and no one can
have confidence in the pro-
gressive Republican element
so long as they are dominat-

So the only hope that is
held out to the farmer and

Wilson and Marshall, and

Teachers, are you aware
that yau are engaged in the
noblest profession on earth?
Are you sensible of the re-
sponsibilities that rest upon
you? Do you realize that
there isnothing so wonderful
as the budding soul of a little
child? Have you thought of
all these things? Have you
seriously considered what it
means to have temporary
oversight of 40 60 or 100 lit
tie minds? If you have not
given this matter serious
consideration you have fallen
short in the first principle
of pedagogy Ask yourself a
serious question along these
lines and record the answer

grope blindly, to places of truth
and worth. The real teacher is
the one who can stimulate ana
encourage and keep pure this
thought-growth; who can arouse
the hunger for knowledge in the
souls of the boys and girls. Ano
the capability to pass" the ex-
aminations for certificates is lit
evidence Of this power.

No one can be a real teacher
who does not love the work.
There can be do success in any
vocation unless the whole soul,
the life interest, be in it. The pay
should be ample, but the money
should be the least consideration
with the teacher. When we
have those entering the profes-
sion as a life-work, who believe
that their mission in life, the
cause Of education will have com.
menced its forward move. The
man or woman who teaches
school for no other reason THAI
to earn money to prepare fol
something else is committing ;
crime against childhood. Tn,
opportunities of the little one
are too precious to be stolel
from them.

Schools and Teachers.

An ancient king once asked a
philosopher the question: What
shall we teach our boys?" The
sage replied: Teach them some
thing that will be of use to them
as men. y That answer is the
the sum total of the purpose of
the school. In this age when
the struggle For existence Us 50
fierce, the better equipping the
boys and girls for the battle of
life is the paramount intent Of
our public educational scheme.
From this viewpoint | am writ
ing and what say may displease
some, as wholesome truths usu-
ally do, but this is a question too
momentous to allow temporizing.
The thing that cripples the
cause of public education in Ken
lucky is that we have SO few
professional teachers, or, to ex-
press it more apt.y, teaching in
this State has not arrived to the
dignity of a profession. Few
prepare to make teaching a life
work. Ergo, there is a lack OF
definite purpose, an absence OF
soul, in the attempt that makes
public education almost farcial.
Our boys ATTAIN certificates and
secure schools in order to earn
money to prepare for something
else, our girls to be able to buy
an elaborate trousseau, and
neither have the love for the
work nor the realization of re-
sponsibility that is necessary t.
real teaching. Too often it is
despised stepping-stone to the
ultimate vocation of life.
4 L
Our legislators have been very
short-sighted in regard to the
public schools. The pay fol-
teaching should be made suf
ficiently remunerative to attract
and hold the best intellects, anC
the standard elevated and the in
competents weeded out. Thos,
naturally qualified should con
stitute the profession. | say
naturally advisedly, for the mer,
holding of a first-class certificat,
is not proof conclusive that tn,
holder can teach. Teachers
like poets and musicians, ar,
born, not made.

0mniscience evidently LOOKED
ahead for the boys and girls an,
so ordained that they would ge
and education despite the earn
est endeavors of some teacher
to dwarf their intellects. Other
wise their condition would b
pitiable. Teaching is a drawing
out, not a filling up. The pur
pose Of the school is to guild
and direct the ever growing in
tellect of childhood, to train tn
tendrils of thought, as the.

the sixteen delegates TO the national
Republican convention At the Hunting
ton convention The custom and
rules Of the party require that two
delegates shall be selected from each
congressional district. and the dele
gate-atlarge shall be selected in the
state convention The rulings of the
national Republican comnittee are
very clear upon this point. and the
preparation OF the call for the Hunt
ington convention was clearly in
error so far as was contemplated the
possibility OF the selection OF all the
delegates at Huntington.
State Chairman Virgil Rlgfand an
nounces that a new call for the Hunt
ington convention vii be issued in
which this point will be made clear.
and the various congressional COM
mittees will be instructed to call con-
ventions in the congressional districts
for the selection OF their regular dis
trict delegates. Under this proceed
ing. therefore. every congressional
district in West Virginia will select
two delegates to the national Repub-
licsn convention. The state conven-
ton at Huntington will select six
delegates at large. On account OF the
fact that West Virginia, under the new
congressional apportionment will be
entitled to six congressman instead
OF five. the state will be entitled to
sixteen delegates in the national Re-
publican conventions AS the state
has not been re-apportioned for con-
gressional districts, We will this year
elect a REPRESENTATIVES,. and.
naturally. will have two extra dele
gates at large. These six delegates
at large will therefore bAAselected at
