The Secretary.

The Lutheran Synod of West Vir-
ginia closed its session on Sunday night
with the ordination of two young men
to the gospel ministry. The meeting

missions were created within the year
in the vicinity of Wheeling, with a
strong prospect of a third one soon.
Each of these missions has an enroll
ment in the Sunday schools of over one
hundred scholars and are growing rap
idly.
Several new charges we're formed,
vancacies supplied and the usual other
business transacted at the meeting.
The report of the benevolent con-
tributions shows that the benevolences
exceed those of last year by nearly one
thousand dollars. The next meeting
will be held in Keyser, w. Va.
The following officers were elected by
the Synod:
President, Rev. w. L. Dysinger,

PUPILS ECONOMY LEAGUE.
Such An Organization Has Been Form
ed in Public Schools of County.

Recently the Board of School Commits
sioners conceived the idea of having
formed in each of the public schools of
the county an organization composed of
the pupils of the individuals schools I'M
der plan evolved by County Superin-
tendent Rathbun. the purpose of which
organization is to conserve the property
of the county placed in the different
schools for the use of pupils and to
inculcate in the scholars the principle
of saving instead of wasting that which
is the property of the public and all
with the idea that in later years this
principle may be used IN the business
and professional lives of the present-day
boys and girls.
With the organization of the League
the Superintendent has distributed to
the various schools a small folder setting
forth the purposes of the organization
and with it has sent to each pupil a
button, done in colors, the following
being fac simile of both button and
folder:

Another method is to have lnculcated
often and repeatedly into the minds of
pupils and teachers. trustees and COM
missioners, principals and superin-
tendent, the plgness that comes from
the continued careless destruction of
the small things of any great system
where thousands of individuals are
directly concerned. The alert, fertile
pupil, teacher, trustee, commissioner
and superintendent, need not be at a
loss to know how to prevent these
wastes, how to secure economy, how to
secure greater results from the school
equipment. The League may be made
a constant force for carefulness and in
telligent use. Each day something will
occur in or Outsi e each school room
whereby the objects of the League may
be vitalized; wherever carelessness or
indifference shows their heads. a life's
principle may be taught
All of these forms of waste and need
less destruction may be reviewed and
emphasized at the meeting of the
League. which is to convene during the
last half-hour of each last Friday of the
school month, during the last half
hour of the day upon which teachers
render their monthly report to the office
of the School Commissioners. And it is
recommended that each pupil be re-
quested to wear his or her button
particularly at this meeting. At these
sessions. the teacher, who is president
of the League formed by the pupils of
his or her room, is to discuss these
various principles of economy, involving
in whatever way or by whatever de-
vices he or she may elect, an examina-
ton of the school property, paying
particular attention to the school books
in use by the pupils, commencing where
justified and reproving wherever deserv-
ed.

As the name suggests, the primary
object of the organization is to secure
greater returns from the materiaIIstic
educational expenditures of this county.
1t may be readily seen that the
principle of economy in school equip
ment and supplies may be carried over
into the broader education of the child,
thus teaching a life-principle that is a
valuable source of wealth to any man or
woman.
There need be made no apology for
such an organization. Philosophers
have pointed out to US, and experience
reinfOrces their statements, that one of
the most pronounced sources of weak
ness comes from waste and useless
destruction. One author has said
economy is the poor mans mint; another
has written. ''Take care of the pence,
for the pounds will take care of them
Selves" while still another wrote, ''The
way to become wealthy is to take care
of that which you already have" while
Poor Richard stated.
"A penny saved is two pence clear:
A pin day S groat a year"
The following is a list of the items
and expenditures during the School
Year 19l2-1913, upon which economy
may be literally exercised:

In these distributions, as well as in
those of previous years, it is quite ev-
ident that great waste may be permit
ted. And waste may take place in one
or several of the following ways:
l. Destruction of outbuildings d
fences.
?. DETACHMENT of school building.
3. Mutilation of interior walls.
4. Breaking of window panes.
5. Carrying away of school furniture
buckets, shovels, pokers, brooms, etc.
6. Carving, cutting and breaking of
school desks and benches.
Z. Tearing, marking, losing and general
destruction of school text books.
All of these forms of wastefulness
weaken financially the school system of
the county, and all Of those connected
directly or indirectly with the school
system should exert every influence to
have these leaks stopped, and there
by strengthen the educational system of
which such people are a part, and
furthermore, thereby elevate our own
standing and ability. Too many citizens
are inclined to smile upon the waste of
public monies, believing, enormously,
that public money is a public grab.
One of the ways to check these
wastes Is to have better and the best of
care taken of all school prOpcrties
