The assessors book in Jefferson coun-
ty indicates hog valuation OF $3.50 OOO.
Competent local authorities estimate that
in recent years the annual hog loss has
been from from $4,000 TO $4,000, due
to cholera. Other counties could show
losses equally heavy and disastrous to
the swine breeding industry. In ordert to
protect the herd, especially in those sec
tions where hog cholera is again breaking
out, no time should be lost in securing
hog cholera serum and making the vaccl-
nations. The serum Can be obtained
from the Commissioner Of Agriculture at
Charleston. In most cases a local ve!er-
marian should be secured to administer
the dose, bul there is no reason why the
farmer should not do thus himself 1t he
understands the process. The main pre-
caution should be 10 prevent infection at
the point where the serum is injected.
All instruments must be thoroughly boil
ed and the region of injection carefully
disinfecled. In cases OF widespread
outbreak of cholera, the Commissioner OF
Agriculture will furnish serum free OF
charge, and our County Agricultural Agent
will render all the help he can.

THE office OF the State Superintendent
OF Schools al Charleston has been some
what stirred up the past week or two 10y
tie discovery that the questions for the
teachers uniform examination held the
first OF this month throughout the State
had been secured in advance IN several
counties. Just how the leak occurred IS
not known, but the questions were Of
fered for sale in Kanawha, Jackson and
Lincoln counties John Chain was ar
rested in Jackson county on the charge
of having in his possession copies OF the
questions in advance OF the examination,
and three young women were summoned
before the grand jury of Kanawha county
on the same charge. A thorough inveS-
tigation Will be made, to find where the
leak occured-Whelher it was IRON The
State printing plant or officials assigned
TO conduct the examinations.
This is not the first time that this sort
of thing has occurred, and the Register
once more expresses its belief that the
State uniform examination is by no means
satisfactory method of aScertaining the
fitness of a teacher. We have always
opposed if, and we still contend that the
examinations conducted by the county
superintendents are better method. II
has been proven on more than one oc-
casion that the questions cannot be prop
erly ssieguarded. Then, the State ex-
animation ascehains only in part teach
er's iltness-it can furnish no evidence
as to the personality or especial quallii-
cations OF an applicant, as can be done
in ones own county, and many gen.
uinely good teacher has been forced Out
of the service because of inability to meet
rigid requirements of merely technical
character. Hardly one teacher in hun
dred gets No. certificate through these
uniform examinations, yet through other
gaps in the school law many unsuitable
persons are admitted as teachers.
The uniform examination ought to be
abolished if tor no other reason than that
it seems impossible TO prevent dishonesty
in its administration.

AT the commencement OF Shepherd
College State Normal School last week
one member OF the Board of Regents, Mr..
Northcott, was present, and he delivered
the diplomas to the graduates. The State
superintendent OF Schools, Mr.. Shawkey,
who is president OF the board, and MI.
Laidley, a member, were expected to be
here for this occasion, bit both failed to
come.
We mention this incident to show that
so far as personal attention is given our
State Normal Schools by the Board OF
Regents, the board may as well be abol-
ished. The members OF the Board oil
Regents receive salary, we understand,
Of 81 900 year. Some one has figured
out that this PAYS them at the rate of about
500 day for the service they actually
render. If the board spends no more
time at the other normal schools than It
does at Shepherd College, the per diem
will be good deal higher, tor we are
quite certain that the members have not
averaged one day year in Shepherds
town since the board was recognized
and fixed salary allowed. A year ago
one member spent couple OF days here.
One or two other members have since
made flying visit that at most occupied
but few hourS-could almost be meas
ured in minutes. Some OF them have
not been here at all.
IL is manliestly impossible under these
conditions, that the members OF the board
can have such knowledge OF the schools
ds to enable them to act intelligently In
considering the needs of the institutions.
Such Scant attention isn't worth tlg. II
The schools are in such condition as to
need no direction or attention from the
Board OF Regents, il would be the proper
thing TO abolish the board and save the
money that is being paid the members at
the rate OF 500 day.
