our school system.
Under the very capable manage.
ment of Superintendent shawkey and
his associates our public schools have
made rapid strides. This department
represents the largest institution in
tho state and costs the people approx
imately forty.flve per cent OF all the
expenses of the state government,
greater amount OF money than any.
other institution. Last. year $3.50
teachers were employed, 299,1s5 pu:
pills were enrolled, and the cshool sys.
TEN cost the sum OF S5,e10.9s2.00, of
which the State disbursed s~440,0Oo.O0
out of the general state fund and
$3.50, 000. 90 out Of the general school
fund. Our state schools, the univer.
siyt and all Of its branches, together,
with the deaf and, blind school, cost in:
the way Of maintenance and other ex-
penses last year tho sum Of s~551.567.o0.
One OF. the greatest problems OF our
school system is to secure efficient;
teachers for the meagre salaries that
are offered to teachers in this state.
OF all the states OF the Union. West
Virginia is thirty.sixth In the list as to
salaries paid to teachers. There are
only three states in the Union with a
population per square mile as great as
West Virginia with teachers salaries
so low.
The following table showing the an.
nual salaries paid to teachers in the
states contiguous to West Virginia at-

the highest efficiency cannot be OBJ.

oince the departure OF the eXpedl-
ton from New York, three weeks ago,
no meetings have been held at which
peace plans were discussed. Most OF
the discussions have taken place
around the dinner tables at the hotels.
Between meals the delegates were
sightseeing. Mr.. Ford's leaving the
party on account of sickness last week
is regarded as serious handicap.
The Rev. Charles F. Aked OF San
Francisco, Judge Ben Lindsey of Den
yer and otners have explained that 1t
was imperative that the expedition
should proceed to The Hague to carry
out the original plan as far as possible.
This will result in the formation OF
permanent committee to sit at The
Hague to adopt ways and means. The
committee. is to consists of a small
number of persons from each of the
neutral countries.
Each of the seven members of the
peace expedition whom Mr.. Ford left
in active charge of the expedition con-
fessed today that the project will make
an immediate move towards peace. All
agreed, however, that the plan had
seemingly insuperable obstacles.
Members of the committee expressed
TIE belief that while peace was hardly
c&s;b,e before spring, yet they were

A Prophecy.

Octember 41st, 1916-The following
sad spectacle has come under the re-
porter's observation: A certain man
we'll known in Newberry has so far
eorgot himself and the sacred obliga-
tons to his family as to become an
habitual user of that fiery liquid which
has brought forth death and destruc-
tion to untold numbers of its yotaries
and scattered sadness broadcast in
the lanh.
Today this mans wife is clad in
threadbare garments long out Of style
and his children are without shoes and
heir little feet are frost-bitten from
exposure to the cold weather. Their
faces are pale and haggard and their
meals are scant and coarse Christ
mas, when it comes, will bring no
playthings, no joys, no comforts to the
inmates, of this impoverished home.
This man is at heart a truly good
fellow and will do anything to accom-
modate friend or s.ranger-generous
to a fault. The pity of it is tnat he
can not be made to see his fault and
the ultimate and sad consequences of
his course. Friends have implored him
to abstain from the use of this liquid
lightning, or, if he can not abstain
totally, then to try and limit himself
to gallon month.
He is deaf to their entreaties and
blind to the needs of his family He
insists that he can moi bulge an inch
without it. that he must have it at any
cost, as his car will not run without
it. He is a gasoline fend, and must
have it regardless of the price.

Jones, chairman Of the executive COM
mittee, said:
There has been mere talk Of peace

greater is the desire for peace. We
