Special Hospitals Needed.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
estimates that there are over mil
lion consumptives in the United
States, of whom probably at least one
third are unable to provide for them
selves the necessary treatment at
home. Most of these cases are men
ace to the health of their families and
associates, and should be in special
hospitals. At the present time. how
ever, even If every case were known.
1t would not be possible to provide &C.
commodations for more than one in
eight or ten. The removal of these
foci of infection demands more and
better hospital and sanatorium pro
vision.

Will Appeal
.. To arDebt
BUCKHANN0N & NORTHERN R.
R. TO TAKE UP QUESTION
... OF SPAN.

The Buckhannon & Northern r. X.
officials will take up the matter OF
the bridge span of the proposed stiut
ture to be erected by the company ut
Catawba direct with the War de-
partment. The company once had i
permit from the war department to
erect 800 foot span but later this
permit was resCinded due to agencies
in Pittsburgh, chief of Vhich was the
Pittsburgh Coal Exchange and Har-
bor Twenty-Five. Both Of these or
CARNATIONS were represented at a
public hearing held in this city In the
offices Of the Fairmont Chamber OF
Commerce. At that meeting their
representatives contended that 500
foot span was too small to admit the
rassage of the river traffic.
The contention Of the railroad
company was THAR iver traffic was
decreasing and that the span was sui
fcient for all traffic conditions. Its
attorneys pointed out the fact that
some distance below the site Of>tE@
proposed bridge ther liver from bank
to bank is less than 800 feet wide.
The report Of the meeting had to
90 through the regular channels and
in so doing all the men through
whom it passed made up summaries
of the report and this had much to
do In shaping the action of the de-
partment in ruling against the rail-
TOAD company.
The Buckhannon l. Northern will
take the fight directly to the depart
mcnt adm see If it cannot get permits
sion to erect the three hundred foot
span.

STUDENTS.

The first semester Of the Fairmont
State Normal school Opened to-day
with an enrolment of 126. This
number will be materially increased

, efficient faculty. were in their
places and the day was spent in en-
rolling the pupils and arranging the
schedule to be observed during the
;eIm.
Few changes have been made In
the faculty this year. Miss Elizabeth
Stalnaker who had been granted a
leave of absence to take Il Special
course at the Columbia State univer-
sity, resumed her work to-day in the
local school. Miss Laura Lewis. a
corner. teacher in the normal here
and a graduate of the school, was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy caused by
the death Of Miss Mary Copltn, a
member of the faculty appointed by
the board of rel gents for this year.
An unusually strong faculty VIII
lave the school in charge this year
and the course of study to be persued
will be a splendid one.
A new department. that of domes-
| tic science and domestic art, has been
| gently installed in this school. The
former will be in charge of Miss Nell
Mcconnell, a graduate of the normal
here, and OF the state university.
Miss Mary Eaton of the Bluefcld
schools, will have charge of the de-
partmcnt of domestic art.
The normal school course as out
lined for the Fairmont school is a
comprehensive one.
