bred. And eventually all our work
would have to be done over again."
"Ah!"
"You look a bit mussed up. Any.

eyed butler.
Nothing much. I made a cigarette
out of the letter and smoked IT."

who gave their time and energies to
the upbullding of the educational in
terests Of the community. The men to
whom you have entrusted this import
ant duty In recent years are still with
you and the splendid school plant you
have In your midst testifles to their in
teIligent management. Sometimes pub.
lie officials in this capacity are un1ustly
criticised, but it is my observation that
very little money has ever been wasted
in West Virginia in building and equip
ping modern school plants, thus giving
the youth of the state better opportun'
tiles in preparing for their duties as
citizens.
1t would be next to impossible to re-
call all who have been connected with
the schools OF Fairmont, but can not
let this occasion pass without naming
three faithful teachers, who, being
dead, yet live in the good works which
follow them. These three are Miss
Maria NJ. Chisler, Miss Amanda Elem
ing and Miss Ida NJ. Abbott, all of whom
are remembered with gratitude by
many of their former pupils.
Any reference to the educational
work OF Fairmont would naturally in,
clude the State Normal School located
here in 1867. A private school of this
character had been carried on a part OF
the two previous years under the man
agement of Mr.. John N. Boyd and Rev.
D. P. Dorsey, but have always main
tanned that Prof Whites old Mail and
Female Academey fostered the senti
ment which led to the developement OF
the splendid institution now in our
midst Prof White, who had Just left
the state superintendancy was the first
principaof the Normal school, and the
public schools of the town were used as
model schools. Associated with him in
those early days was one whose influ,
ence is yet felt, not only in this COM
munity. but in many other parts of
West Virginia. This lady, known to
her early pupils as Miss Dickey, now
Mrs. R. E. Fleming, is remembered as
one of the most inspiring and helpful
instructors we ever had in the state,
She was connected with the Normal
school for more than 10 years and serv'
ed as principal for three years.
Prof. White was succeeded by Prof

ADDRESS.

VIRGINIA.
HUNDREDS OF PERSONS INSPECT
THE FINE PLANT IN ITS
ENTIRETY.

The Thomas c. Miller School, one of
the handsomest and most up.to-date
school buildings in the state, was for
maliyf dedicated last evening, when. in
spite of theN stormy weather, large
crowd turned out for the dedicatory
services.
Prof. Thomas c. Miller, one Of the
leading educators Of the state and who
for many years was prominently iden-
tilted with educational interests In this
city, andrin whose honor the building
.wassnamed. was present and delivered
theiprfncipal address at the services.
Prof. Miller is thoroughly conversant
with the school conditions in this city,
especially in earlier years. and his talk
last might was largely reminiscent and
was thoroughly interesting and instruc-
tive, to the large audience assembled.
The site on which stands the edtfice
was for a number OF years the home
place of Prof. Miller and his estimable
family, and this fact. together with the
mot that Prof Miller is the father Of
the public schools in this city. makes
theiname given the structure peculiarly
hitting.
Atfthe time the building was In the
courseEof construction the West Viz
gfnian agitated the matter of naming
the building for Prof. Miller, and the
Board ofs Education and the, patrons Of
ma school cognizing the fitness of the
name, decided Immediately that the
building should be known as the
Thomas G. Miller School. This was
followed by the naming ofseveral other
structures for other prominent educar
tors o9'the city.
IN addition',to the address OF Prof.
Miner, other interesting features mark
edthelprogramme for the exercises last
nfght, not tn least of which was the
presentation to the school on behalf Of

!. c. chemist. who had graduated un-

]. c. Gilchrist. who had graduated I'M
der Horace Mann at Antioch College,
and although he remained only one
year, he left his impress upon the edu-
cational work Of the state as few men
have done in so short time. Without
being vain, hope, will say that It has
always been a source of satisfaction to
me that 1t was my privilege to be under
the instruction Of and associated with
Horace Mann, now recognized as Amer
ica's leading educator, because he
showed what the work of the schools
really should be. After leaving West
Virginia, Prof. Gilchrist went TO Iowa.
where he established the first normal
school In that state, and which has
developed into the great Teachers Col
lege at Cedar Falls. Last summer 1t
was my pleasure to visit this institu-
ton, which has an enrolment OF about
5000 students and plant costing about
$1,500,000. There met some OF Prof.
Gilchrist's graduates, and ! was pleased
to learn of the high esteem in which he
was held in that state.
The successor of Prof. Gilchrist was
DR.. ]. G. Blair, who will be remember
ed by many OF our older citizens. No
better instructor nor more inspiring
teacher ever came to West Virginia,
and, building on the foundation already
laid, he planned for the larger things
that have been realized in the develop
ment and growth of the Fairmont Nor
NAL school. Time forbids my going into
detail with respect to the succeeding
principals of the institution, and about
all 1 can do at this time is to give a
list of those who have served in this
important position. On the death of
Dr.. Blair in 1878, Miss Dickey became
the principal and served three years,
and upon her resignation, Prot U. S.
Fleming became the head of the school.
His good work here, at Beverly, Graf
ton, Buckhannon and Parlersburg, has
left an influence that can never be
oyerestimated. Probably no man in
the state had higher ideals or was a
better example of the Conscientious,
upright man. He was succeeded by
