Shepherd College Well Taken Care OF.

Shepherd College State Normal School
was treated very literally in the general
appropriation bill passed at the session
OF the Legislature ended last Friday. The
most important appropriation is the sum
OF $4,000, "for buildings and land, !"
which it is understood will be devoted to
the erection OF dormitory for girls, and
which will probably be built upon the
land acquired from the Line heirs. The
school authorities are greatly gratified tina
a dormitory is in sight, for it has become
a necessity if the institution is TO realize
its fullest prosperity. With well-con-
Quoted dormitory system, il is certain that
the attendance ofthe college will be great
ly increased. Half OF the above sum is
available next year and half the following
year.
Other appropriations for Shepherd
College seem ample for its support for
the ensuing two years, and are as follows:
For nine months ending June 80, 1913
For salaries OF officers, teachers and en-
ployees, $1,000; for current expenses,
s.. $50; for repairs and improvement,
900.
For fiscal year ending June 80, 1914
Salaries, 1913 900; current expenses, S., 900;
repairs and Improvements, 81 500.
For fiscal year ending June 80, 1915
Salaries 1913 900; current expenses, IS, 900;
repairs and Improvements, 81 500.
These generous appropriations insure
increased usefulness for Shepherd College,
and the friends of this institution are
greatly cheered at the bright outlook for
its future. The appropriations are chiefly
due to the influence of Senator Silver,
who was chairman of the Senate finance
committee, of which Senator hump was
also amember, and 10 Hon. c. M. Wetzel,
Democratic leader in the House OF Dele
gates. These gentlemen ably took care
OF the interests of their constituents IN
the Eastern Panhandle, and our people
will be fully appreciative Of their good
work.
