getting pupils interested in this

we open up the manikin for reci-

The literary spirit of our Nor

stronger each day and we see
possibilities of much good to

along this line. They will give
their first open session in the
college chapel Friday night, Jan.

are invited to attend, free of
charge. We made this announce
ment last week, but for the good
of those who might not have
read the other we again extend
the invitation te all to come.
We also take this opportunity
to invite the patrons of the
school to visit our department
and see what we are doing, and
if you see anything needing to
be changed, be sure to call oul
attention to it and we assure you
that as soon as you show us
where we are wrong we will
change to the right at once. We
are not running on the theory Of
the one-man-idea, but on thu

{. F. CECIL
FOR REPRESENTATIVE

In this issue of the CoURIEF
we announce the candidacy oil
Edward F. Cecil, of Hazel Green,
for the democratic nomination
for representative from the 9lst
Legislative district.
While Mr.. CeciPs p0stoffice is
given as Hazel Green, he is a cit
izen of Morgan county and this
fact should be understood by the
voters, inasmuch as, according
to an old custom, it is Morgan's
time to elect a representative.
Mr.. Cecil was born in Lee
county, Va, 69 years ago, came
to Kentucky when he was eight
years old and has lived in Nor
gan county ever since. He has
been a lifelong democrat, always
giving his time and means to the
furtherance of his party's prin-
ciples, but never until now has
he been a candidate for Office.
Mr.. Cecil is a we'll to do farmer,
a conservative business man and
has been president Of the Hazel
Green Bank since its organiza-
ton. He is one of Morgan coun-
ty's most substantial citizens.
honest, fearless, capable and de-
serving. Should he be elected
representative his constituents
will never have cause to regret
their action. The COURIER COM
mends him to the voters of this
district and asks for him mature
consideration.

School Notes.

To the many friends Of school
work and readers Of the Courier,
we send this message from the
Normal Department ofsthe West
Liberty High School. We are
now organized with fifty young
men and women in this depart-
ment and the outlook for real
work and good results is as good
as we could possibly hope for.
The class in the public school
branches is doing splendid work,
and if they continue to work as
they have started there is no
reason why examination day in
May should have any terrors for
them whatever. If they will
continue to keep the goal in sight
they cannot fail to win. Quite a
number from our department
took the County Diploma eXami-
nation the oath and 25th Of this
month and from what we can
learn from them we seriously
doubt whether any one Of them
failed, This is a kind of encour.
agement offered by our school
system that we very much ad'
mire. 1t is nice for a young la
dy or gentleman to complete the
public branches and have the
county board issue them a county
diploma. And in addition to the
joy that comes from being able
to obtain such recognition of hon
est effort, the county board o
education provides High Schoo
tuition forthem until they reacl
the age Of twenty years. w
hope to see many more of Gu
mountain boys and girls pass thi
milestone on the road to educa
tional success.
We are also glad to report tina
we have an excellent class in tn
State Certificate Course, review
ing all the public school branche
and in addition to them they ar
doing fine work in algebra, litel
